AS long as the Brooklyn Robins can keep on slugglng the ball. the collapse of their pennant hopes, which has been cumored every time they have lost more than one or two games in a row. seems unlikely. Sup porters Of their rivals, principally the Chicago Cubs, were beginning to celebrate the Brooklyn downfall after the Robins had lost live straight games and had dropped the opener Of the current crucial series as Chicago won it's sixth straight.
 But the Robin slugglng reappear- ed vesterday and showed that there still is plenty of life in the flatbush team. A game behind and appar- entIv headed for a worse position inc Robins overcame all their weak nesses by the sheer power Of their hats and once more placed them- selves in virtual tie for the lead. Today the Cub margin is only two points instead of the hoped for two games as the result of the 15 to , beating inflicted by Brooklyn yes Ierday.
 , In contrast 10 Tuesdays overtime game. Brooklyn went out yesterday early in the game and assaulted Guy Bush for enough runs to win in the first three innings. Bush fell before the booming Brooklyn bats in the third frame, which saw the Robins pile up so lead. Four successors were only so many victims as the Robins hammered out IS hits for A bases. The Cubs made 16 hits, one of them Hack Wilson's 10th home run. but with little effect.
 While the warfare Of the titans was going on. the New York Giants were having about as much difficult " in their attempt to stay on the heels of the leaders. The Giants had to come from behind in the ninth and score two runs to tie the Cin- cinnati Reds in the opener of their series. and it took a homer by Fred Lindstrom with Critz on base ln the tenth to give them a ! to victory. AS rain at St. Louis kept the Cards and Boston idle. the victory enabled the Giants to pick up half game lost through Tuesdays idleness. The same rain benefited the Pittsburgh Pirates, who gave away four runs to the Phillies in the first inning, then came from behind to win their fourth straight, to 1.
 The three American league leaders failed 10 produce any change in their standing, Philadelphia. Wash ington and New York all coming out ahead Of their western rivals. The champion Athletics made in three straight over Cleveland by q to ? score as George Earnshaw won his 18th victory Of the year. Roxie Lawson, rookie right handler. made a good battle of 1t until an error spoiled his major league debut.
 Washington's Senators piled up an early lead of five runs over their old mate, Garland Braxton, then kept the Chicago White Sox from turning their 4 hits into runs to win by a 10 { count. The New York Yan- kees put on a similar performance, scoring enough runs in the first five frames to offset a sudden weakness on the part of George Pipgras and defeat Detroit, 10 10 8. The Tigers got to Pipgras in the sixth to score six of their runs but Lou McEvoy, fourth Yankee pitcher finally stop ped them short of tie. Detroit al- so used four pitchers.
 Down at the bottom of the stand ing, the St. Louis Browns reversed the previous days decision, beating the Boston Red SoX. : to .. and gain Ing a tie in games with Chicago for sixth place. Goslin again took the days honors. driving in four runs wth q home run and two singles.
