 Guns were spiked generally along the baseball front yesterday as the major league armies moved into po- sltion for another series of intersec- tional battles, but the Cardinals found time to lose their 10th straight while waiting for the other teams to swing into action, The champions were accommodated yesterday by nobody but the Phillies, who oblig- ingly dropped 20 out of 22 to St. Louis last year.
 Jess Haines made as if to slip a fast one past Charlie Klein, first Philadelphia batsman in the ninth inning, after Master Klein had re- fused to bite at two wide hooks The fast one was just to kleins liking, and he drove it high over the right field wall of Baker Bowl to give the Phils a 10 to decision. It was his goth home run. and enabled him 10 keep pace with Chick Hafey of St. Louis, who picked up his own 2Oth in the game. Bottomley and Whit ney were other home run hitters.
 The defeat left the Cardinals sagging at the bottom of the first division, only three games ahead of an improved Brooklyn team. Tn . reverse marked the 18th for St. Louis in the last IS games.
 Although the slugging was wild, Flames was permitted to go the rout for the champions. Burt Shotten di Tided his own work among Sad Daley, a Des Moines recruit: Phil Collin and Bob McGraw, with Me Graw winning.
 The Cardinals will remain in Philadelphia for full series. and Q the Cubs will invade the citadel of the Braves today. but the rest Of the Intersection openings will be de ayad until tomorrow The Reds. who hold the Giants in no awe. will come tn the Polo Grounds for two games on the Sabbath after a farewell brush With Pittsburgh today, and the fast moving Pirates will settle themselves at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn will en- certain at the Polo Grounds today.
 The trip is particularly important for the Cubs. who have been none too successful away from Wrigley neld since Joe Mccarthy took charge In 1926. The Bruins did have q good record in the east last May. and Chicago supporters hope for another such showing. Any contender which can make two conquests of enemy territory in a season. and get some thlng near an even break on the third trip usually has taken many strides toward a pennant.
 AS the Pirates and the Cubs give each other heart failure in the dash toward the National league stretch. cornelius McGillicuddy moves se- renely toward his seventh flag with ms two nearest rivals. the Yankees and the Browns, nine and one hsle games to the rear The Mackmen open series at Chicago today as the 1ankees and the Browns begin a nght to see which shall hold second place for the moment.
 The Indians turned back the white Sox by Il to 10 in a grogrv game at Cleveland yesterday nrior to the arrival of Boston in Cleveland and Of Washington in Detroit for two surring series. The victory gave tbe indians an edge of four games to two In the extended holiday engage ment
