The Cincinnati Reds are strug-
Cling deep in the second division Of
the National leagu, but when the
Chicago Cubs, champions last sea-
son and contenders for this years
title, come along the Reds step out
and play some first division base
ball.
The Reds knocked the Cubs clear
out OF first place in the last few
days by winning four games in a
row and made Ii a record Of seven
victories over Chicago in eleven
games played. There seemed TO be
every reason why Cincinnati should
lose the final clash yesterday but
they had the champions coming
from behind all the way and finally
put over a run in the tenth inning
TO gain a 4 to 3 victory. The Reds
were outhit, lilo, and seven OF
them famed against Charley Roots
pitching but still they had enough
punch to squeeze over the odd run.
Cubs Two Behind
The defeat dropped the Cubs two
full games into second place as
Brooklyn took both games Of a
double header from the Boston
Braves. With Dazzy Vance pitching
superlative ball, striking out nine
while he allowed only three hits,
the Robins took the first game 8
TO 0. The Braves put up a better
battle in the second and it required
a home run with the bases full by
Del Bissonette 70 give Brooklyn a
Ga decision.
The steadily advancing St. Louis
Cardinals picked up another game
on the New York Giants and now
are only a hall game back OF third
place as the result Of their z to 6
victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates
while New York dropped another to
Philadelphia by a 5-4 count The
Giants began taking their poultry
census before the final score was
Matched and the Phillies Jumped
on Hubbell as he let up a trifle
and won out with two runs in the
ninth inning. The Cards added a
single run 70 the group scoring as
each team tailed in three run
bursts. and that odd counter
brought the victory.
The American league celebrated
the end of WashingtOn's long win
ming streak. which came at the
hands Of the Boston Red Sox in the
second game or a double header.
but the Senators still gained a half
game on Philadelphia and led by
that margin. Washington continued
70 use only one pitcher TO a game.
but Lloyd Brown gave tn Red Sox
II hits IN the second contest while
Milt CASTOR held the Senator'S to
eight, and Boston won. 5 to /.
Washington took the first game 5
TO 2. behind Sam Jones pitching
TO make II ten straight.
AS off
The Athletics. in second place,
had a very bad day against the
New York Yankees and went down
by a ~ TO 8 score. The Philadel-
phia pitchers were ineffective and
the fielding behind them was bad
and the result gave New York a
dozen runs from ten hits with all
the scores coming In three inn
ings. TIL Yankees still remained )
IL games out of second place af-
ter thir recent slump.
