CHAMPION PIRATES RoMP

The Pirates and Sluggers had a
very easy time defeating their
foes yesterday. The former
smothered the Trojans, IL to 2,
while the Sluggers whitewashed
Ell Fenix TO.
Both games were loosely play
ed and proved uninteresting.
Trojans, failing to live up to
their good names. had no show
against the City Champion Pirates,
who won an easy victory on 10
hits combined with nine bases on
balls, wild pitch. a passed ball
and exactly half dozen errors.
Milton Arias, who hurled for the
Waite bunch. lasted three and one
third innings. How he got by with
his easy ball pitch for that period
is unimaginable. Pellicier was
called on to finish the fourth frame
but he was unable to make the
grade. founders, an outf1eldef,
pitched the next five cantos and
did remarkably well despite the
tact that he hasn't pitched for
quite while.
In the second game the Sluggers
easily took FL Fenix into camp,
shutting out Garcia's bunch. How
ard Gates pitched nice game for
the winners, striking out eight bat
tiers. Jose Avila was seen in &C.
ton on the mound for the Fenix
for the first time since he won a
pennant for the Key West Club,
about three years back.
Paul Albury. a former ball play
er of the city, umpired the games.

ST. LOUIS, July 31.-Two mod

yesterday afternoon by Jerome

which team grabbed two games
from the Chicago Cubs. Dean

double victory over the Cubs and
increased their string of victories
to six in row under frankie

The Boston Braves downed the
New York Giants with the aid of
Cantwell on the firing end. The
lean highlander held the oppos-
ing team to eight hits.
The Phillies whipped the Dodg-

Brooklyn outfit to seven hits.
The Pittsburgh Pirates annexed
both games of their double bill

the st. Louis Browns in both games

The Tigers trimmed the Indians
