EAST-WEST CLASH :
IN BOTH CIRCUITS
Cardinal-Giant Series Holds
Big Interest-Regarded
as "CruciaI."
BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR..
Associated Press Sports Writer.

After days hiatus, in which only
one game escaped the rain and the
general movement of clubs East and
West, intersectional warfare breaks out
on both major league fronts today.
Four Western members of the Ameri-
can League. invading the Atlantic Sea-
board for the first time this year, have
scant prospects of success against the
powerful Philadelphia Washington New
York combine. The National Leagues
Eastern contingent, on the other hand,
opens in the west with more concerted
strength than it has boosted in several
seasons.
Look to ST. Louis.
at st. Louis. where the New York Giants
engage the st. Louis Cardinals in what
a little later on might be termed a
crucial series" It Is little too early
for that just yet, but the series will lend
fair idea of the Cardinals chances to
win another pennant. A game and a
half ahead of the Giants now. Gabby
Streets Red Birds face an opportunity
to take commanding lead.
The Brooklyn Robins, flushed with a
four-gane winning streak, engage the
third-place Chicago Cubs, who like
wise have captured four in row. The
Boston Braves open at Pittsburgh and
the Phillies meet the !uckless Cincin-
natl Reds.
Tothe Chicago White Sox falls the
thankless task of boarding the fast
travelling Philadelphia Athletics in their
own park. The st. Louis Browns in
wade Yankee Stadium, the Detroit
Tigers face Washington and the Cleve-
land Indians meet the Boston Red Sox
to round out the American League
menu.
Cards Sent Overtime.
Their ability to take all extra-inning
decisions again stood the Cardinals in
good stead yesterday as they made
ready for the Giants by nosing out the
Cincinnati Reds. to S, in II innings.
1t marked the fifth time the Birds have
been forced beyond the regulation nine
innings this year and the fifth time
they have won.
Inspired by Harvey Hendrick, who
belted Cardinal pitching for three
doubles and two singles, the Reds made
great fight of it, rallying in the ninth
to score twice and tie the count. Not
until the twelfth, when Wilson doubled
and was singled by Sparky Adams,
did the Cards succeed in subduing Dan
Howleys lads. Both teams used three
pitchers. Bill Hallahan finally getting
credit for the victory.

T UNLESS the Detroit Tigers perK
up at the bat, begin to put
some punch into their hitting
and give relief to men who are
dying on the bases for lack of hefty
swing of the bludgeon, Manager STAN
ley Harris will find his aggregation even
lower in league standing at the end Of
this year than it was when the Ath-
letics came romping home with the
American League pennant in 1880. The
Tigers today stand lowest in the circuit
in team hitting.
For years alibi purveyers in Detroit
laid the onus on the pitchers. 1t can't
ing today can only be attributed to the
failure Of the players to WELD the wand
with effectiveness.
Once Detroit never thought much
about batting, because the team could
bat hard. Ty Cobb played for 1t and
Sam Crawford and others of fame.
Heilmann was a member. and Fother-
gill managed to hit well. Last year
Gehringer was the best batter Detroit
had, and he was no super-batter. He
was good for 300. Other teams in the
American League had lot better punch
than Detroit, and they have 1t this year.
Stan Harris said he was kept down
in the 1880 race because his outfielders
had lost Is games for him before the
Fourth of July. He busted around and
collected some of the best-looking young
outflelders for 1881 in the whole land.
In the Spring he had pony outf1eld
in the two Walkers and Doljack that
was better fielding outfield collectively
