LEAD OF DODGERS
CUT TO z GAMES
BUGS Fifth Straight Win Is
Third by 0ne-Run Margin
Over Cards.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,


DELPHIA'S National
- League Club, one of the most
powerful arrays of sluggers in
the National League, has been
noundering through the season going
from bad to worse as pitchers failed to
hold the rival batters in check, but
every so often, the Phillies burst out
with an exhibition of hitting that holds
forth more than one ray of hope for
their fans.
It was a rather dismal crowd that
assembled at Baker Bowl yesterday to
watch the Phillies swing their bats
against the league-leading Brooklyn
Robins with every prospect of meeting
their twelfth straight defeat.
Things we're different at the end, for
the Phillies gave an effective demon
stration of why they are leading the
National League in hitting and came
out with a 12-to-7 triumph. They got
a few breaks" in ending their losing
streak, for Ray Phelps, who started for
Brooklyn, was hurt in the second inning
and Fred Heimach had to come into the
game Just in time to meet f1ve-run
rally in the third.
Philadelphia proved in the next in
ming that this burst of scoring was not
a fluke by scoring five more times to
clinch the victory, and won the game
with Lester Sweetland, a cousin" of
the Brooklyn team, pitching the entire
distance.
Robins Margin Reduced.
To the Phillies, the victory meant
only bit of encouragement, but 1t was
a rather serious affair for the Robins.
Instead of increasing their lead over the
Chicago Cubs, who again were idle
along with Cincinnati, the margin was
reduced to two games. Likewise the
New York Giants, who seem to be
threatening the leaders in a serious way,
made big gain. The Giants blasted
out 20 hits against the Boston Braves
them five games behind the leaders and
only three back of Chicago.
The Pittsburgh Pirates did still better
with their third straight one-run victory
over the st. Louis Cardinals and their
fifth successive triumph. They finally
moved out of the second division into a
tie with the Cards for fourth place as
Larry French won his own game with
double in the ninth inning that drove
in the deciding run Of 4-to-3 game.
With five games on the card, the
American League had one Of its days
when pitching counted heavily and bat
ting comparatively little. Yves Terrell
Of Cleveland and Ted Lyons of Chi
cago were the outstanding mound per-
formers, each winning his seveteenth
victory of the season. Terrell had a
great duel with Sorrell and Cantrell Of
Detroit and finally triumphed. to 3, as
Eddie Morgan hit his twenty-flrst home
run Of the season with two out and one
on base In the ninth inning.

CHICAGO. August All rested up
by their two-day lay-off, the Cubs To-
day returned to the task Of attempting
to overhaul Brooklyn, wondering II
they are going to get any help.
The National League champions have
needed little help in their engagements
with the Robins having won IL out Of
Is starts. No other club, however, has a
season advantage over the league lead
ers, and the Cubs are hoping that at
least one will come to life.
Pittsburgh, one of the four clubs IN
the league over which the Cubs hold
the edge, was the adversary today To

Already there is beginning
to be heard some agitation to
make the cup a quarter inch
wider to accommodate the new

larger ball would indicate that
such a change is neither neces-

not enough bigger to justify
such expansion in the cup-lts
actual enlargement being only
six hundredths of an inch.
The new ball puts far better
than the present one, since it
is enough bigger to keep it
from getting down between the
blades of grass and enough
slower on the green so you
can give it a good stroke with
