 The Cubs approached the end of their final eastern invasion yester- day by blasting another victory from the Phillies, this time with an artistic home run barrage in the park which really gave birth 10 'hn modern four-base epidemic. HacI; Wilson's thirty-third, with two on in the sixth; Rogers Hornsay twenty-eighth. with one on in The seventh, and Zach Taylor's first, with the bases empty in the eighth, enabled the Cubs 10 win hy to l. and incidentally add half q game to their lead, in case anyone still feels it necessary to measure ,hc margin of the Clan Mccarthy.
 Wilson's drive not only smasho,: a scoreless tie and gave the Cubs their ultimate winning edge, but also lifted the stocky Chicago outfieufcr into d tie with Babe Ruth and Chuck Klein for the interieaE,e home run leadership. Further. t wrecked Ray Benges vain hope Of shutting out the leaders, which h1 would have had to do to win.
 Pat Malone blazed away at l2e Phils through the Philadelphia gloom, his fire ball was all but 'n- visible, and he came as close 10 whitewashing the best hitting team In the National League as any pitch CT could reasonably hope to conc. As it was, the Phils never once were able to get gay with MT. Malone, who sent them to supper with only five safe hits added 10 their record.

Mccarthy hopes 10 pay MT. Nc Gillicudy at Shine Park early in October. Regardless of the resnt at Baker Bowl today. the Cubs 9l- ready have disproved the charge "home1s,' which persisted even inio the current season from the early days of the Mccarthy regime wn'n the Bruins seemed utterly unable u win anywhere but at Wrigley F'ielC. To date they have won thirty ana lost fifteen in the eastern sector.

 In losing to the Browns by 5 to 0 at St. Louis, the Yankees a,sc created a seasons record. It wa the first time that they had rrh into two doses of whitewash on snc- cessive afternoons. George Bla ,- holder allowed only three hits unt'l the ninth when two infield scratches swelled the Hugmens total to five Herb Pennock was the victim Of a bad break in the fourth when ih, only error either side committed, l wide throw by Lazzeri, paved th' way for four unearned runs, ;I- would have lost anyhow, of course on the one earned marker.
