 New York, Aug, ie-(UP)-Now Is the time-about six weeks before the world series-for oil second di- visioners to rise up and smack down the pennant contenders.
 All should be able to take Q valu. able lesson from the last place Phil- adelphia Athletics in the American league, and the sixth place Cincin- natl Reds in the National. Connie Mack's pitiful As have just finished humiliating the swaggering New York Yankees three straight, and the Chicago Cubs suffered the same fate from the Reds.
 Friday the Cubs were 8M games ahead of the National parade and today they were but four; the Yan. kees pace dthe junior circuit by lih and the As cut 1t to ten.
 Since the Cubs lost the services of First Baseman Jimmy Collins, they have dropped Ave out of seven contestS-two of three to Pittsburgh and three of four to Cincinnati. The Reds humbled the leaders twice yeS- terday, launching Q i8-hit attack to take the opener l3-6. Alex Kamporuis eighth inning home run furnished the margin in the 9-s nightcap.
 The double loss enabled the New York Giants to pick up e game and q half as they took Q 6--3 decision over Jimmy Wilson's Philadelphia Phillies. Ciydell CaStleman held the Phils to six hits and no runs. A single and home runs by Johnny Moore and Camilli accounted for oil Philadelphia runs.
 Pittsburgh'S Pirates picked up two games on the third-place Cardinals. They walloped Lon Warneke and Mike Ryba for i6 hitS-including four singles by Pitcher Cy Blanton ito win the opener s-4. then scored . 70 shoutout behind the six hit hurling of Russ Bauers in the Windup.
 Brooklyn and Boston divided, the Dodgers taking the first S-3 only to Dc humbied e--i by the three hit pitching of Danny MacFayden in the second.
 The second largest crowd Of the season, 32,34e damned into shibe park to see the As take the Yan- kees, b-4. Rookie Edgar Smith ale lowed seven hits to score his first victory Of the year.
 New YorkS famous siuggerS held to i8 hits--Six per game-by rookie twirlers in their three day stay at Philadelphia.
 The loss, however. cost New York none of It's lead since the second place Detroit Tigers dropped one to the St. Louis Browns, e-7.
 The Boston Red Gox were busted from third place when they dropped z pair to the Washington Senators. Wes Terrell defeated his former mates. 8-3, and Monte Weaver al- lowed but eight to take the finale, e-3.
 ChicagoS White eox moved into the vacated spot with 6 double yic- tory over Cleveland. Tn eWhitc Box fell on Joe Heving for i've straight hits and 6 6-3 victory. Tn the second game Chicago won, 3-2.
