NEAREST ENEMIES
CLAW EACH OTHER
Dodgers, Bruins and Cards
Stage Dogfight-Yanks
Shut Out Tigers.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IF ANY one wonders what is holding
the Giants up at the head of the
National League despite plague
of injuries, simple answer is
found in the three cornered battle for
the next best place in the standing.
Since starting West, and losing most
of their infield en- route, the Giants
have won two out of three games each
in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Chi
cago and yesterday continued their
triumphant progress with 5-to-4 VIC
tory over the Cardinals and both the
famous Deans.
The Dodgers, Cubs and Cards have
engaged in so keen dog fight that
no one of them has been able to
threaten the leaders and the Pitts
burgh Pirates have been threatening
to rise up and smite one Of them down
into the second division.
New York had to go to the ninth
inning to collect four runs of Paul
Dean and brother Dizzy, who relieved
him when the going got tough and was
nicked for a walk and a hit that
meant three runs.

Bruins Bounce Back.

THE Cubs, knocked down to fourth
place by the Giants Saturday,
bounced back into second with an
8-to-3 triumph over Brooklyn on Bill
Lees four-hit pitching and four
Dodger errors. That put them few
points in front of Brooklyn and a
half game up on st. Louis.
The Pirates, meanwhile, cut the st.
Louis margin to a half game as Cy
Blanton pitched them to 3-to-1 VIC
tory over the Phillies for his seventh
triumph of the season. He granted
only seven hits and famed nine to
beat the six-hit flinging OF Rookie
Ray Prim and Curt Davis.
Babe Ruth, who belted three home
runs at Pittsburgh Saturday, couldn't
repeat against 81 Johnson at Cincin-
natl and the Reds won, 6 to 8. The
Babe famed three times and fouled
out once.
The almost daily exchange Of fourth
and fifth places between Detroit and
Boston was the only alteration in the
American League standing. The Red
SoX moved back into the first divi-
sion by downing the st. Louis Browns,
8 to 7. after Yves Terrell had been
pounded for 6 runs in the first two
innings.

Harris Takes Chance.

"A T LAST there was right-hander
:. on the peak for the visiting club
and Stone got in action to make four
hits. His clouting virtually put the
Nationals across in the contest. Then
the next day he was kept out be-
cause the foe employed a left-hander.
And Schultz, the right-hand sWinger
replacing Stone, swung no potent bat.
So yesterday Manager Harris de-
termined to take the chance with
Stone, despite the employment of the
left-hand pitching Walter Stewart by
the Indians in their first appearance
of the season here. And though
Stone got but one hit in his three
trips to the plate-which, after all, is
as much as may be expected of any
batter-Harris decided then and there
that he would rely on Jacks batting
in any situation.
The Nationals lost no time in tuck
ing away the Sunday set-to. They
fell upon Stewart. who up to two
weeks ago was their clubmate, with
vengeance in the first three innings
to send him to the cooling shower.
Seven safeties were made off Walter
in his short term and six of them

Pivotal Batter Against Tribe.

CTONE was the pivotal batter in yes
~ terday's conflict with the powerful
Indians, although he made but one
hit during the pastiming. But that
hit was a triple that drove across
two tallies and put the hitter in posi-
ton to score the run that was needed
by the Nationals for victory the way
the game ended.
During the training season Stone
batted in great manner. So con-
vincing was his punishment of the
leather that all connected with the
Washington club were certain he
would be an important factor in at
tack when the championship cam
paign got under way. But for weeks
in the flag race there was no power
in Stones bat.
There was a turn for the better,
though, when the club got back from
its swing around the circuit. Stone
began hitting soundly whenever he
got in the game. But he was not in
there against left-hand pitchers. Har-
ris still did not believe Jack could
get the range of the fork-handers.
Such was Harris lack of faith in
Stones ability in competition with
this kind of pitching that finally the
outfielder was kept on the bench
through three successive games.
