 By defeating the Robins at Nrig- ley Filed last Sunday, the Cubs reached a point where one more vic tory would give them the National League pennant beyond the last mathematical doubt. The energetic Bruins are still snooping here and there in search of the victory, but they nevertheless have become champions, almost without knowing 1t. The coronet was clamped upon the brow of Joseph V. Mccarthy just before game-time in Chicago yesterday when the Braves tossed the Pirates by , to at Forbes Field in the first half Of a double header.
 The new champions of the elder major league circuit wcr4 allowed to enter their game against the Giants without the knowledge that the Braves had ended the struggle tor them. Otherwise they might have done better against the Giants, vho opened the series with a 10 , triumph behind Carl Hubbelrs fine pitching.
 The clan McGraw pounded Sheriff Fred Blake and Art Neht with the same vigor that nas marked many recent assaults upon the peaceable young men who earn their mOney serving them up for Joe MCCarthy. If these unprovoked outrages con- unue. experts and incXpgrts alike will have to place some crcdcncc m Mir MCCarthy's plea that his pitch ing defense consists of so many pa per hoops.
 Guy Bush. it is true, has been hitting the bumps; but so has Boo Grove. With more than two weeks to get ready for the ordeal, the rival pitching corps may be depended up- on to make base hits dear on and after October s. Many a wrecked" hurlng staff in the past has sudden ly reassembled itself upon reaching the world series with the scent O. important money heavy in the air.
 Presuming that the Cubs twelfth pennant long had been taken for granted-as Chicago fans took it the most interesting development at Wrigley Field yesterday was Roger Hornsby's feat in scoring all three Of the Bruin runs and so lifting his total to 146, two beyond the modern National League record set by kiki Cuyler in Pittsburgh in 1925.
 After Kremer and SwetonlC had dropped the pennant-decidng first game to the Braves at Pittsburgh, the Pirates came back behind Hen ry Meine to take the nightcap by to 2.
 Jim Frey, Nashville recruit gave the PkiIlies ] 3 hits in his CinCin- nati debut. but won his game by to 5. The contest was notable for the fielding performance of Horac7 Ford, Cincinnati shortstop, who cut in with eleven put-outs and three assists. He fell short of the major league mark Of nineteen chances ac- cepted by a shortstop, but equalled the put out mark established by Will liam Fuller of Andy Freedmans Giants in 1895, Danny Richardson oI Washington made the mark for to- tai chances accepted in 1892.
 Under the pounding of Yanke2 home run bats, the Indians just es- capped from New York with the1r lives yesterday. all visions of second money vanished from their minds Led appropriately enough by the home run twins, Ruth and Gehrig who got two apiece, the Tanks hom- barded the Indians out Of two games by to and . to .. Tony Lazzer added a circuit blow for good meas ure, and the SeWoIl brothers per. formed for Cleveland.
