PIRATES AND SENECAS ARE IN LEAGUE -MAJOR LEAGUE ACT1VITIES-SPORTS ITEMS
GAMES CITY CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
 TONIGHT CHURCH CIRCUIT
DECISIVE BATTLE IN CHURCH LOOP
First LutheranS and St. Mats
 Will Clash Tonight

What will probably be the decis- i've game in the 1nter-Church base rall league will be played at Willow Brook park this evening when the First Lutheran and St. Matthew $ German Lutheran hines will meet for the third time this season and will break the tie for first place in which they are now deadlocked. This promises 10 be a close and fast, as well as a vital contest, and a large crowd is expected 10 watch the two foremost rivals settle the issue between them.
 Twice Billy Preisser, St. Mats pitcher, and Bill Frescn, Swede hur- Ter, have hooked up in pitcher battles, with the former gaining two verdicts by bare margins at 2-1 and 10. A third duel is anticipated to- night, although it is just possible that the St. Matts will send Otto Suess into the box, as Preisser was not in form last week and was driven 10 cover. However, it is expected he will be Tn shape again for thls evening engagement, anu tiAe mound rivalry between him and Fresen will probably be continued This game will be played on Dla- mond No. 1.
 The tail-end Trinity Methodlsts will seek to perpetuate the hoodoC which they hold over the South Con- greeationalistS and make it three straight from the third place team The South church is the only team the Methodists have defeated, but they have pulled the trick twice and hope to continue. The first division outfit, however, is desirous of re- venge and points to it's recent victory over the St Matts as evidence thai il has found itself.
 The third game will bring together the Swedish Bethany and Stanley Memorial combinations, now tied fol fourth place. and this promises tt le fully as tight a battle as any oI the others. In their last meetings inc teams see-saWed into extra ln- rings before the Stanmors nosed ou' the extra run.

CORBIN RED SOX DEFEAT
 SENECAS IN CITY SERIES
Tobn's Clan Scores First Victory in Championship Playoff-Final Score Is 13 to S-Msplays By Los CTS Count Heavily in Ultimate Result - Buckland Is Touched For II Hits - Both Teams Score in Opening Inning-Detas of the Game.

Jack Tobin's Corbin Red Sox out slugged and outfielded the Senecas at Willow Brook park yesterday after noon and hung a 13 to defeat on the Main street clubman. The game was marked by some very loose play, the losers counting heavily in this respect.
 Yesterdays engagement was the first taste Of series play for the Sox and although the opposition was not so formidable, the Tobinmen gave d good account of themselves,
 AS far as the scoring went, the game was won in the first three in- nings, Casey, who started on the hill for the Senecas, was treated roughly by the Corbnites and after two sessions of terrific lombard ments, he was willing to call it a | day Wolfe who relieved him did much better and held the winners to panr of hits until the ninth. Although Buckland. Jack Tobins choice, was touched for II safeties and eight runs, he managed to pull through without being removed from the box His teammates offered him some splendid support at times and this aided him greatly in holding tho upper hand.
 The Sox began their run making early. In the first, three hits, walk and some poor work on the part Of the Senecas accounted for q quartet of tallies. A like number of runs was produced in the second on four solid hits, three going for ex- tra bases
 One more counter was added to the Sox's total in the third but Wolfe warmed up to his task and the win ners bats were silenCed until the first half of the seventh inning. Two hits in this frame chased another run across the plate and barrag ge in the ninth accounted for the last three.
 The Senecas scored in the first when McCol mick was hit by pitched ball with the bases load ed. 1 The losers two big sessions were the third and the fifth. Two hits and a sacrifice fly counted two runners in the third and four bingles, pass and sacrifice accounted for the last of the losers run making. From the fifth on, Buckland was invincible and the losers were let down with but two hits.
 Bergeron and Fitzpatrick led the winners assault while Mccormick and Krause did the honors for the losers. Fields was brilliant at third base. The summary:

 The Golfers started the scoring in the first inning by netting one solitary run. This was good for nothing as the "Y" took the lead in it's half Two walks and a single gave inc losers two runs. The Col Hers couldn't push any across in the second and the "Y" team came back at full steam and duplicated the first inning and got two more.
 The Golfers rallied in the third and through hit and two errors, scored two, cutting down the "Y" lead. The winners kept up their hot pace in the fourth and got an other and still another was driven in in the fifth. In the last half of the fifth. the "Y" team again went into the lead when two more runs were scored but the Golfers came right back in the sixth to take the lead away again by scoring two more.

this year but the misplays of the Cardinals proved more important than those of the Corsairs in the matter of score.
 Both Klopp and Carlson hurled splendid games but their mates seemed to be against them and it was due to their steadiness alone Ithat the score was not much larger.
 The winners got a two-run lead
 in the first inning when they should have been put out in order. Beg ley opened the frame by driving a grounder at klopp who knocked it down but neither his shortstop or second baseman made any effort 10 get the ball 10 throw Begley out slngle. Mangan sacrificed Begley to second.
 Rose hit slow roller to Rice and the latter waited so long for it 10 roll up to him that Rose beat his throw to first. Bergeron then hit a ground single to right and R. Fink in getting after the ball slowly fumbled it and then threw wildly 10 second allowing Bcgley and Rose to score.
 The third run of the winners re- suited from uoor fielding of hits to | the outield Matulis got a triple on what should have been d single and Charlow got a double on another hit that should have been held 10

BY the RsShtlEttu i'lTNo.
 The New York Yankees whose runaway victories in the American league were the despair of all rivals, are getting a taste Of their own medicine these days and it's a bit doubtful if they like II.
 In the last three American league pennant drives. contenders used to play 700 baseball only 10 find that not only could they not gain an inch but actually lost ground to the Yankee steam roller that over long stretches could play at better than an 500 clip.
 The same thing is holding true against this season except that the Tanks have yielded their accustomed "Simon Legree" role to Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. The Tanks of 1929 pull up half a game one day only to watch the As in crease their lead the next by winning a dougle bill or by winning while the Tanks lose It's all most diShoart- ening to Miller Huggins just as it was to managers of would-be con- tenders when the Yankee machine was running wild,
 Through the enforced idleness of the Athletics, the Tanks found an opportunity O whittle away little of the As lead yesterday and just barely took advantage of il, It took a home run by the one and only George Herman Ruth to enable the Yankees to down the St. Louis Browns. 7-6, in 12 innings and cut the Athletics lead 10 ten games. With the score tied at Gall in the 12th, Ruth. the first man at bat, drove the ball into the bleachers for his c4th homer of the season. Lou Gehrig had hit his 18th homer in the first inning with one on. The Browns walloped Johnson and Heimach for eight hits and al their runs in the first five innings but Tom Zachary stopped them dead and got credit for his sixth straight win.
 A four run rally in the ninth gave Cleveland a to triumph over the Washington Senators. II was the h. dians' third in row over the Sen ators.
 Aided by a home run and two singles by Marty McManus Detroit's rookie pitcher, Kyle Graham, won his first game in. the American league, beating the Boston Red Sox, 5-S. Graham gave up only nine hits and blanked the Sox after the third inning.
 In the National league. the Chi cago Cubs increased their lead over Pittsburgh to two and half games by trouncing the Phillies again. to 2, for their seventh successive vic tory, Guy Bush won his 14th game of the season against single defeat, giving the Phils six hits. The Cubs won the game in the third, punching four hits with a base on balls and an errors for six runs. Riggs stephen son drive in three of the runs with a home run.
 John McGraw's New York Giants pounded Alexander. Farmhouse and Hallahan for 19 hits and beat St. Louis. 10-5. Mel Ott got his 18th homer of the season.
 Cincinnati ran it's winning streak to five by beating Brooklyn in both ends of double bill, A and 7-5 The Reds punched their five hits of William Watson Clark to good ad- vantage in the first game. In the second Dazzy Vance was hit hard and retired for pinch batsmar after pitching the first seven in- nings.
