LONE LOSS IN TWO
WEEKS HARD LUCK
Leading Cards Whipped Four
Times in a RoW-Margin
Cut to | IL Games.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer

ASSOCIdleQ FIeSS GpOILS WtNeI
TINE Brooklyn Robins, who
surprised National League
i fandom by their splendid
showing last season, have
had hard time since then trying
to live up to the predictions made
about them. Apparently strength
ened by off-season trades, the
Robins were expected to Jump
right into the thick of the pen
nant race, but instead they start
ed off badly and have only re-
Gently begun to show what they
really can do.
Just about two weeks ago the Robins
began to hit their best stride Since
then they have lost only one game and
that was "hardluck" contest which
went to the st. Louis Cardinals, despite
Dazzy Vance's three-hit pitching. And
they promptly revenged themselves on
the league leaders by finishing the Sc
ries with four straight victories.
League Winning Pitcher.
The Robins were the ones who looked
like champions yesterday, as they easily
trounced st. Louis, 10 to 4. Ancient
Adolfo Luque gave 10 hits and kept
them from doing any harm, and thus
became the seventh Brooklyn pitcher to
go the route in 10 games. The Robins
fell on Burleigh Grimes in the first in
ming and scored six runs before they
were retired.
The defeat cut the Cards margin to
~ games before the start of series
4. ~ ,@14
| The New Workers clouted the Cincln-
natl Reds for a double victory yester-
day, winning the first game, II to S, be-
hind 2l-hit attack, and rallying for
four runs in the sixth inning to take
the second clash, to 2.
The Boston Braves completed their
conquest of the Chicago Cubs by slam
ming out a 9-to-1 victory in the first
half of a double-header, while Ed
| Brandt pitched a seventh game TO
score his tenth victory of the season.
Wally Berger provided the second-game
| feature as the Braves came from be.
| hind to earn a 2-to-2 tie just before
| the Sunday o'clock Law halted the
game. He started two double plays from
center field Pittsburgh and Philadel-
phia were idle.
Browns Streak Grows.
The st. Louis Browns continued their
! amazing winning streak in the Ameri-
can League by taking two 5-to-4 de-
cisions from the Boston Red Sex. 1t
gave them a record of straight VIC
tories and IL in their last IL games.
SiX-hit pitching by Gray and Stiles
won the first game and a l5-hit drive
behind Wallace Hebert took the second.
Philadelphia's Athletics increased
their margin over washington to ga
games by winning 2 games from De-
troit, while the Senators could get
only an even break in two mound
duels with the Chicago White Sox.
Roy Mahaffey held the Tigers TO
five hits to win the first game for the
AS. 9 to /, while George Walberg gave
them only four to gain a 5-to-1 VIC
tory in the second.
Babe Ruth hit his seventeenth home
run and Ben Chapman stole his TWEEN
ty-eighth base for the New York YAM
KEGS and the combination helped con-
siderably to bring a 9-to-5 victory over
Cleveland Willis Hudlin shut out the
Yanks for six innings. then Yves Fer
rell stepped in Just in time to be
charged with the defeat.
