CUBS PUSH GIANTS
BACK AGAIN, 4 TO z
Malone Earns 18th Victory
of Season by Getting
Great Support.

cago Cubs, operating together
Y 4 like an intricate machine,
caught the New York Giants
today and tossed them one game farther
back in the National League standings.
Every man in the Cub lineup con-
tributed some important action and in
less than two hours Chicago had a
4 to 2 victory, Pat Malone had his six
tenth victory of the season, and the
Giants were four games back Of the
National League champions.
The terminal cause Of the Giants
downfall was q sizzling single to left
field by Hack Wilson with English and
Cuyler on the bases in the eighth in
ming, but the pudgy home run artists
effort would have been wasted had it
not been for some preliminary work by
Dan Taylor, Cuyler and Clarence Blair,
combined with breath-taking fielding by
English and long George Kelly.
Malone Has Trouble.
Malone did not have as easy sailing
against the Manhattan Maulers as he
did against the Brooklyn Robins last
week, but he was tough in the hard
spots, and the support he received more
than made up for any shortcomings on
the part of the Altoona, Pa, fireman.
Malone got into deep trouble in the
fourth inning when Bill Terry turned
loose a double, the first of his three
hits and after two men were put out,
Travis jackson dumped a home run
into the right field bleachers. Jack
sons hit just made it, Cuyler almost
plucking it OF the top Of the screen.
He had other troubles, but with bril-
liant help was not scored on again.
Carl Hubbell, slender New York
southpaw, went along in beautiful style
until the eighth inning, when he sud-
denly lost control and was blasted from
the rubber. Until that time he had
given only i've hits, but when he left
three more socks had been registered,
along with a hit batsman and a walk,
for two runs.
Both teams fielded perfectly, but the
accomplishments of Woody English
Cub shortstop, outshone even the work
Of Hughie Critz, who saved the Giants
lot of trouble. In the seventh inning
he made q great stop and throw to
get Lindstrom, and a moment later
made another almost impossible stop
of Terry's hard slash, but failed to
catch the Giant first baseman. OFT
doubled into the left center field crowd.
Terry stopped at third and three pitch
ers started to warm up for Chicago.
English, however, assumed personal
charge of the situation, racing over In
front Of second for O'Farrells smash to
end the inning.
Kelly Stops Rally.
Long George Kelly, sitting in for
Charlie Grimm at first base, ruined a
Giant rally in the fifth. LindStrom and
Terry singled after Critz had famed
and Leach had popped out. OFarrell
got what looked like q handle hit until
Kelly made q backhanded stab for the
third out.
The Cubs got their first run in the
| fourth. Cuyler doubled to right, went
to third as Wilson was thrown out anc
scored on Dan Taylor's long sacrifice
fly to OFT. They tied it up in the sixth
when Blair was hit and went to thirC

English worked Hubbell for q wall
in the eighth and Cuyler followed VI
with his second double, hard smack II

and both runners scored on Wilson's
slash past Critz. Kelly doubled, bu
