up a full game on the second-place
Chicago Cubs yesterday by trimming
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-4. boosting
their margin to two games. Home
runs by Travis Jackson and Frank

runs. The Cubs had the Pittsburgh
Pirates beaten going into the ninth.

Bud Timing and Pat Malone and
Tommy Thevenow followed with a
scorching double that drove in the
tying and winning runs in a 5-4

to six hits and one run in the last
773 innings.
Despite their victory, the Pirates
dropped into fifth place, a half game
behind the Boston Braves, who won
two games from the Phillies, 6-3 and
30. The Braves, by having none
left on base in the opener. equaled
major league record. In the second
game, the Philly outfelders did not

- Soundly spanked by top

4 came here today hopeful
of better luck in a series with
the low-down Athletics. The
standing of the clubs makes
Mack's minions look even worse
than Cronin's crushed crew.
Season records give the
champs an edge, too, for they
have licked the AS five times
In eight meetings.
Neither difference in standing nor
past performance dope will put the
Nationals over, however, unless they
bat with more vigor here today and
tomorrow than they did against the
Yankee pitching down home. In
their last Is innings on the Wash
ington lot the champs cracked out
no more than 10 safeties, a batting
rate not calculated to win ball games.
AS a result of their slump in at
