 Fans at Ebbets Field yesterday . saw the Giants narrowly avoid go- a ing into seventh place. Master Ed ward Moore, the miniature second : uaseman, came all the way from To- -- ledo to drop-knick a double-play hall about the lot in the tenth in- . ming of the nightcap with one out -4 and the bases full of Giants.
 The performance of Master Moore <, enabled Fred Fitzsimmons to take '- ! to { decision over Lou koupal and ' Doug McWeeny after Clise Dudley = had pitched the Flatbush forces to r- 3 to ? triumph in the opener. The = even break served the purposes Of the Giants in their efforts to avoid the cellar.
 ~ The rest of the fighting in the .- National League was mainly for eX- 70 ercise. The Phillies ceased to be Y Phillies at Boston. but the Braves
 once more became the Braves. The - result was a twin triumph for the
 Baker boys, 6 to 3, and l3 to 4. The Cubs and the Cardinals took an afternoon off, but the Pirates Y cornered the hapless Reds at Forbes
 Field and administered an II to .
 humiliation before General Hen dricks could withdraw his troops, or sthe remains of them. It was six straight for the Reds. and notable from Pittsburgh standpoint chief -iy because of the fine work of Ray
 kremer in the box.
 The American League situation IS
 daily becoming more and more
 alarming for Miller Huggins. but it is not yet of record that any of the little Miller's seven fellow managers
 has lost so much as minutes asleep over the situation. As mat ster of fact, Dan Howley is strongly
 suspected of gloating over 1t. The master mind of the Sports -mans park thought his way into ,, second place yesterday as Rip Col ~Iins pitched the St. Louis forces to .a7 to triumph over Red faber Band the White Sox while the sena- .tors were snapping their losing t.streak in two places at the Yankee Stadium. The Senators won by 10 Ito and to in bargain on .tfle banks of the Harlem. and to rcomplicate the case further. the Ath- ,letics polished of the Red Sox in ~Philadelphia with little or no effort. ~ls to 2.
 ~ The days campaigning left the -Athletics with q lead of two and
 one- half games over the Btewus. 2hwo in turn led the champions of *tthe world by one full contest. The *Yanks. three and one-half games Tout of the lead, are further from --their accustomed roasting place than -at any other time since the year of -PAbe Ruth's $1,000.000 stomach --ache.
 = The Athletics triumph gave Rob- -ert Moses Grove another easy entry Unto the winning column of his siedger. After the Macks scored twelve times against the Bostonese 1n the fifth, Moses disappeared in .lhe direction of the clubhouse, leav- ,lng Oswald Orwoll in full charge of tho situation. Ed Morris was among the Boston pitching victims. Sim .lnons. Haas and Rothrock got into -the home run club.
 Two former Yankee pitchers led the assault against the champions at the Ruppert Stadium. Aided by nome runs by Goose Goslin and Joe Judge. each with two on, Sam Jones and Fred Marberry sailed home ceased up over an assortment of
 Yankee pitchers in the first half of he double header, but Garland t8raxton had to extend himself to shade Waite Hoyt in the second en- Eounter. Jones strained his side in 3he fifth round of the opener but dad pitched long enough to get of- 9fcial credit for the victory Joe Ironin gave the Yankees a tie in Ihe eight round of the nightcap by executing neat tumble after Ruth Dad tripled. but helped 10 take if sway from them with single in the
