 The Cubs slapped three Giant pitchers for If blows at the Polo Grounds yesterday to win by g to as the Pirates submitted to their daily cuffing by the furious Phillies The net result of these proceedings was to increase the margin of the Cubs to 10 and one-half games.
 Mccarthy placed young Clarence Blair, the Little Rock recruit, in temporary charge of first base, in place of Charley Grimm whose throwing arm is fractured, but dis patched hurry call for Charlie Tolson, optioned to Los Angeles by the Cubs last Spring. He is not con- sidering Chicken Hawks of Reading to supplant Grimm and denied he ever thought fseeking George Sis ter of Boston in one of these "waiver" deals which some clubs know how to engineer late in Au- gust.
 <. Charlie Root presided over the obseques at the Polo Grounds, giv- ing the Cubs their third victory from the Giants in four games. The l Messrs. Benton, Mays and Judd were placed in the line of Chicago fire Riggs Stephenson and kiki Cuyler responded with home runs, stephen son totaling three hits for the day. ," Young Harry Smythe of Asheville again put the finishing touches on the Philly victory. but official credit 1went to Phil Collins. The score was 10 10 8, giving Burt Shotton's boys four straight over Bush's men.
 All the rabbit blood was extracted from the ball they used in Brooklyn yesterday and young Clise Dudley pitched the home team to a 1 to 0 triumph over the Cardinals who thus fell below the 300 mark. Dud- ley scattered six hits, while Clar- ence Mitchell permitted Del Bis sonette to single in a first inning crisis which yielded the games only run.
 9 The braves divided double 2 header with the Reds, winning the first game by to l, and permitting the visitors to edge out the second by 8 to '. The Braves thus remained in the cellar, which they now hold by a margin of two full games under the rampaging Phillies. f' Both the Giants and the Robins hope to advance one notch in the standing of the Clubs before Octo- Der 6, and each team has the same grade to make. The Pirates are in second place by five games and the Cardinals in fourth by the same margin. The Clan McGraw opens a hand hand struggle with the Buccaneers at the Polo grounds to- day while the Robins hope to wiring heavy toll from the Reds, who have been looking up bit lately.
 . The Athletics surprised American league circles by dropping series to the Browns yesterday through the medium of losing the final game by to 5, but the Yankees permitted the White Sox to win by 4 to 3, leaving the standing of the first two clubs unchanged. The As lead by twelve games
 It becomes increasingly apparent with the passing days that the Yankee record of no games won and A lost in 1927 is comparatively safe. To beat it now. the Macks must take no fewer than twenty eight of their remaining thirty-six games. The old Cub record of 116 victories in 1906 is safe beyond everything but the mathematical certainty.
 MT. Mack employed Walberg Earnshaw and Orwoll against Rip Collins yesterday to no avail Of more importance to the Browns than the victory itself, which merely kept them close 10 the Indians, was the injury of Heinie Manush and Fred Schulte who crashed into each other while chasing French's fly in the fifth. Manush suffered a broken nose. He will be out for two weeks, but Schulte may return to the line up within a few days.
 Young Wesley Terrell stopped the Senators cold with his second suc- cessive four hit game, the Indians winning by to 1. It was Ferrelrs 14th victory
 Detroit slammed Bayne and Car roll hard to win the finale from the Red SoX by Is to ?. Uhle was the
