In the five days which remain
before the season ends, the Giants
have three gains to play and the
Cardinals five. Should St. Louis
beat Pittsburgh again today and
then sweep its four-game series

First they would not play be-

because they objected to play

BASEBALL'S BIG SIX


Paul Waner and Lou Gehrig
again became tied for the Big Six
lead yesterday while the situation
was further complicated by a
three-day tie among trio of Ma

place. Waner added a point to his
average, hitting twice in four at
teR1pts, while Gehrig held his
mark at the 500 level with one
bit, his forty-sighth homer, in two
official times up. Jim Collins of
st. Louis Cards moved up into the
last place tie with Joe Moore
whose mark was unchanged. Bill
Terry also maintained his pre-

Dizzy was in great form and

three runs in the first inning and
Jerome held the lead throughout,
shutting out the Pirates until the

Naturally, there will be no blum
dering, headlong campaign of
player-Selling. The mere selling of
a player is not going to help. But
men will be traded and shifted to
build up the club, and the next
seven weeks will just about decide
the action Of Griffith and Cronin.
Idle today, the Griffs meet the
New York Yankees tomorrow in
a double header. Joe Cronin said
this morning that Prof. Monte
Weaver and Wallie Stewart would
do the pitching for the Griffs, but
he has not yet made up his mind
on the order in which they will
work.
Taking the series in Boston, two
games out of three, the Griffs in
Sured themselves against loss of
position-admitting that fif t h
place comes under the head of
position and is worth insuring.
They did more than insure fifth
place. They dealt body blow to
the chances Of the Red SoX oust-
ing the Indians from third place.
The Tribesmen dropped a couple
Of games and, if Boston had been
able to win from the Griffs, the
Sox would have helped themselves
plenty.
The GriffS are doing more than
contemplating the result of the
victory in Boston. Those games
are yesterdays news now. What
is more important to the Griffs,
looking ahead to the general pro-
gram before them, was the fine
game pitched by the ruddy COM
plexioned Ed Linke in the first
game yesterday.
Linke showed that he can win
the close ones, those one-run
games that test the heart Of a
young ball player. The score of
his game was 2 to and a couple
of times the Sox might have tied
it, or even gone ahead.
In these moments, Linke rose to
the occasion and fought. His de-
fenSe rode the charge, if we can
mix sports for a moment and bor-
row from football, and turned
back the challenge Of the home
team.

Having scored in the third
inning on a single by Cissell and
a double by Werber, the Sox
threatened again in the sixth
when Werber singled and stole,
moving to third on long fly.
Linke then threw stuff that Roy
Johnson could hit no further than
Cronin and Werber was out at the
plate. In the eighth, Cissell
tripled with one out, but Werber
and Morgan died on infield taps.
Just half a dozen hits were
made off Linke, and he looked
like a real pitcher all the way
through. There never was a time
when you felt that the game
would be safer in other hands.
