MAJOR LEAGUE FANS GIVEN
PITCHING TREAT In CUBS
VICTORY OVER N. Y. GIANTS

Shadows OF another baseball era
were called back TO the Polo grounds
yesterday by the finesse Of two OF
the younger set with a lively ball,
sniping nc batters from a distance
OF sixty feet and six inches. 1t VIII
be many an afternoon before major
league fans see q better pitched
game than the one Perez Lay Ma
lone and the Cubs won from Larry
Benton end the Giants by O margin
OF I TO o.
The Chicago speed baller held
command Of his game nc all times.
and after he finally received the
support OF one rra in the seventh,
he actually seemed to have an i'm
pregnable lead. Malone gave up
five hits to only four by Benton,
but only once were the Giants able
to put two Of them together In any
one inning. This was In the third
when Roush and Terry singled. but
Malone got OFT on a fly 10 Stephen
son for the final out.
Malone pessed only one man. and
struck out seven. Only one runner
got as far ms third base on him, and
two were out at the time.
The Cubs gave Malone his win
ming margin In the seventh when
Cuyler led off with q double and
scampered the rest OF the way
around on successive outfield sac
rifices by the Messrs. Stephenson
and Heathcote. AS the Pirates were
idle. the Bruins extended their lead
to eight full games.
Brooklyn entertained Flathush
with a 3 TO z victory over the fallen
Cardinals, end the Braves outlasted
the Reds 10 win 10 to . at Boston.
The Athletics will have TO do with
q 1>-game lead over the Yankees for
at LEAF. another day. Two home
runs and q double by Jimmy Foxx
failed tn say Nose Grove in a
pitchers battle against Sammy GRAY
mt st. Louis yesterday, and the
Browns won ( to 8.
The situation In the standing OF
the clubs remained the sane as the
Yankees permitted Ted Lyons To
pitch and bat the White Sox to q
8 20 2 decision.
Foxx's two drives. each made with
the bases empty. were his twenty
ninth and thirtieth OF the season,
and placed him second to Ruth In
the American league scramble.
Ed Morris turned in the eighth
successive complete game for the
Red Sox pitching staff by hurting
the Bostoncse to q 5 to 4 victory over
Owen Carroll in III innings at De-
troit Yesterday. This constitutes a
seasons record for the major
leagues.
Cleveland fell upon Garland

Sam Crawford hung up his glove a few years after finishing on the
