men in the nightcap.
The Braves accepted two beatings
from the Brooklyn Robins, Sd in 10
innings and 20 and the Robins
moved into third place.
Carl Hubbell and Roy Parmelee
pitched the New York Giants to VIC
tories over the Phillies, 60 and 81.

Cincinnati Reds, 6-l and AZ.
The Athletics still lead the Amer
lean League parade by Is games. The
Yanks scored eight runs in the first
inning III of the opening game and
