Gab|er's Work
Aids Giants

The New York Giants chances
Of fighting their way to the Ma
tional League pennant this year
appeared considerably enhanced
today with the revelation that
Bill Terry has another pitcher
under his managerial wing who
can finish what he starts.
The gentleman in question is
Frank Gabler. Only a week ago,
Gabler pitched his first complete
game in the majors and yesterday
Terry sent him against the league
leading Cubs of Chicago. Gabler
more than justified Terry's con-
fidence in him, holding the league
champs to eight hits and defeat
ing them, 7 to 2. He had a shut
out in his grasp until he sud,
denly weakened in the ninth in
ming.
While the Cubs were being thus
tanned, their bittereSt rivals, the
st. Louis Cardinals, were expert
encing a stormy afternoon with
the Brooklyn Dodgers. After pill
ing up % runs while the Cards
were making a mere seven in the
first game, the Dodgers couldn't
get a man past second base until
the eighth inning of the nIghtcap
and bowed to their old teammatc
George Earnshaw. 5-4. That opener
was weird affair indeed. Parma
lee and Heusser went the whole
shameful distance for the Cards.
The Boston Bees and the Pitts
burgh Pirates divided a pair. The
Pirates battered three Boston
pitchers for seven runs in the
seventh inning to win the night
cap, 10 to 4, after losing the first
game, Al. Danny MacFayden shut
out the Pirates in the first game
until the ninth.

Reynolds has hit for a tidy 1855.
For a while he was tossed in
against right handlers and all
corners. They all looked alike to
him, as the figures prove.
There is one sweetly solemn
thought to sustain all followers Of
the Washington Ball Club. Not
once this year have the Griffs lost
three games in a single day. They
have achieved the mediocre per.
Torrance Of losing two games
on occasion, and one Of those
occasions was yesterday. AS a re-
suit of their twin beating the
GriffS strengthened their hold on
sixth place, if they really want
sixth place. The White Sox de-
feated the Athletics and drew .
bit farther ahead Of Washington.
The first game was a travesty.
The Indians knocked sgd Cohen
out Of the box in two innings, but
three of their eight runs were
gifts. Walt Miles miSjudged q
foul off the bat of TroSky so badly
that it was ludcrious or pathetic,
according to the viewpoint. The
ball dropped between third and
home while Miles was turning to-
ward first. Trosky then hit q
home rim.
The nightcap was a battle all
the way. and Monte Weaver waged
q gallant If unsuccessful fight
against the tribeSmen. Weaver
helped to beat himself with q
wild pitch which scored a run and
put one in position to score. It
was a contest through, however,
and finally Billy Sullivan's double
to right drove over the winning
run. A better throw by Travis
might have helped. But it didn't:
that ends the story.

"The boy was all tuckered
