Clubs Sunk the Second Division Prove Sensations OF American Lea
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN,

%HE long-awaited grudge-meeting
between the Reds and the Cubs
came of In Cincinnati yester-
i day, but hardly as adver-

in hand.
They settled into their seats, or stand
ing spaces, expecting at least 10-round
bout, but really hoping for battle OF
the Marine. After all they had been led
to hope for, they saw nothing but two
very businesslike ball games played by
peaceable young men who apparently
did not even know how to make hos
tile gesture. Red Lucas won the opener
for the home team by to 3, his seven
tenth triumph of the season, but Guy
Bush turned the tables for Chicago in
the nightcap, winning his eighteenth
game by a score of 10 to /, after being
held O to 0 by Pete Donohue for seven
rounds.
The crowd, the largest paid attend
ance ever accommodated at Redland
Field, was not hostile TO the pennant-
bound Bruins, although Hack Wilson
did hear a few deep-throated Bronx
cheers from time to time. The fans
more than made up for this. however,
by the way they cheerec Hacks circus
catches, and he made several during
the two games.

The Nationals began their trip with
victory over the Yankees, then lost
to them in the second part Of double
header. Two wins over the Red Sox
followed before the club headed West.
The Browns and the White Sox were
licked, three games to one. The In

feated twice in four games. To finish
the trip the Nationals walloped the
Tigers three times in four meetings.
Myles Thomas, who never was
thought to be a good starting hurler
while with the Yankees. proved an ad-
mirable one for the Nationals du ing
the tour. He scored four victories and
never was defeated. Tommy pitched an
exceptionally fine gaI>e against the In
dams after going to Bob Burke's relief
in the first inning, and registered his
other wins as a starter.
