ON jim ELLdOTT'S WILD PITCH
Teachout Scores in Final In.
ming; Athletic Streak Brok-
en- at 13 Games

(By The Associated Prcssl

The phrase che threw the game
away" is heard often enough in base
ball but 1t took Big Jim Elliott of the
Phillies to show a few thousand Chi
cago fans the fullest meaning Of the
words.
Elliott came into Sundays game
with the Cubs in the ninth inning.
The score was tied at IL after a
brilliant duel between Pat Malone
and elise Dudley. Jumbo Jim" faced
only n batter and promptly cut
loose with a wild pitch that allowed
Teachout, running for Grimm, to
scamper home with the run that
brought Chicago a 2 to / victory.
The triumph put the Cubs in Sec
ond place. The Reds divided a
double header with the Robins, play
ing a smart brand of baseball to cap
ture the opener 4 to 0 but succumb-
ing to Dazzy Vance by a S to 0 count
in the second.
More expert pitching helped the
Braves reduce the Cardinals lead to
eight games by splitting a double
header. Fred Farmhouse and Syl-
vester Johnson battled 10 scoreless in
nings Of the first clash before they
both weakened and Boston won out
in the 18th, 3 to 2. Paul D~erringer
had the better of the argument with
Bruce Cunningham in the second
clash. winning his 18th game Of the
year S to 4.
The Athletics, who had won 13
straight games at home, jumped to
Cleveland for a Sunday game and
saw their streak shattered by a Is to
2 beating.
The Athletics lead, however, re-
NAMED at eleven games as the
Browns, led by Goose Goslin, downed
Washington 5 to 2 score.
Although held to five hits by Henry
Johnson, the Chicago White Sox hit
effectively to bet the New York Yam
KEGS S to 4 in the first game Of q
double bill. The Yanks, however, got
their ire up after their first defeat
by Chicago this season and ran up a
% to 5 score in four innings Of the
second game before coasting to q fin.
ish.
Boston and Detroit likewise divided
a pair Of games. The Red Sox took
the first game in 10 innings Z to 6
but the Tigers hammered out a z tc
3 victory in the second. Scores BY
