THE real tough spots in the cur
rent pennant race have been
few and far between for the ST.
Louis Cardinals, but they seem
to have struck one in the current series
with the Boston Braves.
Up to yesterday, the Cards had not
lost more than two games in a row all
season, and had done that only on three
previous occasions. Then the Braves
stepped up and made it three straight
over the National League champions,
winning Z to 5. Ed Brandt and Bur
leigh Grimes, pitchers with two of the
best records in the circuit, were sent
against each other. Grimes yielded IS
hits, including homers by Berger and
Dresser, before he was removed in the
sixth, while Brandt lasted until the
final frame, giving only seven hits and
tanning six.
The defeat reduced the Cardinals
lead to two and one-half games, as the
Chicago Cubs and New York Giants
continued their neck -and-neck race
with victory apiece. The Cubs made
it three straight over Philadelphia by
a 7-to-4 count, while the Giants over
whelmed Pittsburgh, to 2.
Frank Watt made his first start Tor
the Phillies and did a good job up to
the sixth inning. Then the Cubs scored
twice to take the Iced and increased 1t
right up to the end despite the efforts
of three more Philadelphia hurlers.
Fred Fitzsimmons pitched eight shut
out innings for the Giants, after a
wabbly start granting only six hits
altogether, wilhelm York piled up IA
blows.

IN BASE THEFT ART
Display No Versatility on the
RunWayS, Declares Ex-
Big League Star.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

"HICAGO, June 13.-Tris
Speaker, the old ball
~ player. and not the young
broadcaster, was comment
ing on the game as it is played
today. The modern ball player
appears to have completely lost
the artistry old-timerS used to put
into sliding to bases" declared the
Gray Eagle" who now has in
Spected all of the major league
clubs by remote control.
The ball player of today seems able
70 slide on only one side" continued
Speaker Twenty years ago. when
base running and sliding were impor-
tant factors in the game, a player had
TO be versatile in sliding. He had TO be
able TO outguesS the baseman and slide
to the front or back of the bag as ne
cessity demanded. Some of the better
runners were even able to completely
turn their bodies after they had started
slide. There is no one in the game
today with the skill possessed by Ty
Cobb. Eddie Collins or Max Carey.
Most Of the present-day players al
ways slide on the same side They hurl
themselves into the bag with little
tagging
is not at all difficult In sliding there
Is tremendous difference in the game
as played today and as it was Is or 20
seasons ago"
In connection with Speakers thought
on sliding. it would appear that the
American League has better base
stealers than the National Ben Chap
man Of the New York Yankees leads
the American League bandits with II
-
Pirates, who tops the National, has
stolen only times
OF course, the difference may not BE-
entirely due 10 superior speed or skill
on the part Of the American Leaguers.
National League partisans may contend
they have better throwing catchers or
pitchers with more ability in haIding
runners close to the bags. Then. too.
perhaps American League manager are
| taking more chances with msn O.. the
lines
Both leagues have produced some
very dull base running in games played
4: Wrigley Field and Comiskey PARK,
and not many players appear to have
the sense of timing that made Max
Carey great base stealer and enabled
many slower men to be dangerous en-
the lines
1t is an oddly that the clubs now
leading the two major leagues in dou-
bic plays have been obliged to make
numerous shifts on their infleIds all
Spring. Detroit and Cleveland both
have been forced to stagger through
many games with makeshift inficlds,
while there has been a regular process
sion coming and going on the Cincinnati
infeld and Uncle Wilbert Robinson has
had tough time keeping a permanent
combination around second base for
Brooklyn. But the patch quilts do man
age to turn in more than their share
of double killings.
