ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HAVING A HOT RACE
Braves and Phillies Alone
Under 500 in Procession
Led by Giants.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Editor.


|THE National League appar-
emily is headed for one of
the closest races in its long
history, If the results of the
first month of play can be taken
as an indication of what will hap
pen during the next four. The
eight clubs have been playing al
most month now, and they are
hardly further apart in the stand
ing than they were after the first
day or two.
The New York Giants still hold the
lead with an average Of 1886 although
they were defeated yesterday by the
st. Louis Cardinals. but the Chicago
Cubs are close behind and flve other
clubs are within striking distance OF
them. Pittsburgh. the sixth team II
today's standing. has an average OF 500,
the same mark as held by the New York
Yankees, vino are fourth in the Amer
lean League.
While the Giants were losing tough
struggle to st. Louis yesterday by a
6-to-4 score, the Cubs lasted through
a big rally to beat out the Boston
Braves, 8 to 8. Similar results today
would leave Chicago only 2 points be-
hind. The Brooklyn Robins and Gin
cinnati Reds, kept idle by rain, remained
tied for third place with u victories
and II defeats piece and led the
Phillies and st. Louis only by Q few
percentage points.
st. Louis ran its string of victories
to by defeating the Giants yesterday,
but only after some difficulties. Wee
Willie" Sherdel weakened In the sixth
| inning and put enough runs on base for
