The mighty Hub finally had to
retire under fire in the seventh,

bert and the Screwballer received
credit for his third win of the
year, which added to his l6-
straight of last season made him
the third man in major history to
achieve 10 straight wins. 1t has
not been decided whether Hub
BELLS record will be recognized
because it is the result of two
seasons pitching. RUDE Marqu-
ard, in 1912 and Tim keefe, in
1888, turned in their l9-Straight
in one season.

climb into a second place tie with
the st. Louis Cardinals with seven

low a hit in finishing.
The Giants won the game with
a six run burst in the third after

Bartells homer. Two singles by
Hubbell and another four-bagger
by Bartell drove Derringer to the
showers.
The Cardinals were held to
three hits by Lou Fette, S0-year-
old rookie, as the Boston Bees
took an 81 decision. The Bees
pounded a quartet of st. Louis
hurlers for IS hits-all singles to
score their seventh win the last
nine starts.
The Pittsburgh Pirates main
tanned their league leadership
with a 1913 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers. The Buccan-
GERS made only eight hits. But
they coupled the hits with six
bases on balls to score trio of
runs in the first, second and sew
enth innings, and the one in the
ninth. Although the Dodgers
reached Ed Brandt and Bill Swift
for 10 hits, they last 10 men
stranded on the bases. Brandt
received credit for the win.
The Chicago Cubs scored their
fourth straight win, l4-7, over
the Philadelphia Phillies. Four
Philly pitchers were solved for 10
hits, including homers by Collins,
Marty and Bottarini. Leroy
Parmelee scattered 10 hits to the
PhilS TO score his second victory
of the year.
Lefty Gomez pitched the New
York Yankees into tie for the
American League lead when he
held the Detroit Tigers to four
hits and the Yanks battered out
a l0-l victory.
After scoring one in the inst
inning, the Yankees blasted Jake
Wade from the mound in the
third with six-runs. Frank Cros-
setti paced the Yankee artillery

four runs with his triple and sim
gle. Gomez struck out nine to
score his second win IN three
starts. :,
The Boston Red Sox increased
their third place margin by bat
tering a lie win over the st.

against the Cleveland Indians, and
the Senators jumped from the

used three pitchers in an effort
to stop the 18th inning rally, the
loss going against Fischer.
