While the st. Louis Cardi-
nails have increased their lead
over the New York Giants to
512 games the world cham
pion Yankees are no longer
setting the dizzy pace which
they maintained for almost
half the season.
The Yanks haven't been playing
better than $50 ball for the past
month and apparently will not be
able to equal the record OF ZIG
victories established by the old Chi
cago Cubs.
Pipgras has been knocked out in
his last two starts. Pennock is just
pulling out of a slump and the
mystery to rival batsmen these days.
Fortunately for Miller Huggins, the
Athletics aren't burning up the
league either and are still 10h

Ed RommeI subdued the Sox by
5-to-2 score in the nightcap.
One of the best.pitched games of
the season ended in a scoreless tie
in the ninth when rain stopped the
Reds and the Dodgers. Cincinnati
got only three hits off Ray Moss,
and Luque held Brooklyn to six
bin2les. The Reds tied the Giants
for second place.
The Giants couldn't hit Haines.
while st. Louis handed Fitzsimmols
and Kewpie Buckeye a royal shell

stopped the proceedings in the sixth
with New York trailing by an 11.to-1
score.
Charley Root, who had won nearly
twenty games for the Cubs at this
time last year but has been almost
| a total flop this season, ended his
losing streak of seven straight
games by beating Boston, 4 to /.
