Of John McGraw rallied in the last
two rounds to pull this one out by 4

the simple process of giving the Phillies
their daily beating, to 4. The Pirates
now lead by three games.
Cornelius McGillicuddy spread gloom
in ST. Louis by leading the Athletics
to a double victory over the Browns
by 10 to and 8 to 2. and at the same
time added a technical half game to
his lead over the Yankees, who crushed
the White Sox by IL to 2. The Mack

games, seven of which are In the lost
column which base ball folk regard as
money in the bank.
The Giant Cub. game was the most
stubbornly contested battle of the day,
with Larry Benton shading three Chi
cago rivals by whiSker at the finish.
Chick Fullis' home run started the
Giants toward two runs at the expense
of Charlie Root in the third. These
markers became larger and larger as
the game wore on, but the Cubs finally
broke down Benton's defense in the
seventh when Riggs Stephenson hit for
the circuit.
Cubs Tie the Game.
Root stepped aside for a pinch bats
man in that round and Guy Bush. who
won the series opener, entered the box
The Cubs tied the game for Bush in
the eighth, and gave him a margin OF
one run in the ninth. Bush, how
ever, also had conceded his batting turn
to another, and had to trust Pat Malone
to bring in his victory. Malone re-
tired the first two Giants in the NINTH

tieing the score. Jackson met Malone S

into the left field stand.
Burleigh Grimes gave the Phillies 13
hits at Baker Bowl. but as usual was
stingy with runs. Two three-run out
bursts by his support were sufficient to
bring him his fifteenth victory. The
game was unique in that no batsman
cleared that right-field wall.
The Cardinals gave Brooklyn fans an
| intimate demonstration of why the
champions no longer are in the race.

for five runs in the first half of the
ninth To break a 2-to-2 Stalemate, but
promptly proceeded to give the game
right back To Brooklyn in the home half.
Three st. Louis errors, four passes and
three hits enabled the Robins to score
six runs with one out. to win by to Z.
Billy Southworth employed Sylvester
johnson. his starter: Hal Raid and Fred

10 markers. George EarnShaW had some
little difficulty with the home forces
along toward the finish Of the second
game, but Jack Quinn saved the day.
AL Simmons hit a home run in each
game. and was Joined by Jimmy Foxx
in the nightcap.
Herb Pennock gave further proof that

at will. Bob Meusel and Sammy Byrd
hit homers.
The Tigers rallied for four in the
ninth to win a weird game from the
Red Sox by Is to IL, and the Indians
shaded Washington at Cleveland by 3
