Set Season Win Mark With
12in RoW-Yanks, Bosox
Have Tribe Uneasy.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr..
Associated Press Sports Writer,

AcooS1StVO 3ICSS 6pOEL6 writer,
Disregarding the fact that the New
York Giants and Cleveland Indians
still are holding the lead in their
respective leagues, it seems to be q
good time now to keep close watch
on the second and third place clubs
Of the two major baseball circuits.
For the past couple of weeks, the
Pittsburgh Pirates. New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox have been play
ing, in general, much better baseball
than the leaders. And the time is
at hand when they can make it
count.
Starting today In the American
League and tomorrow in the National,
there's another round of intersec-
tional games coming up. The In
dians, with mound department that
has been in danger Of falling apart,
have to venture into the East where
the Yanks and Red Sox will be lying
in wait. Their two-game lead over
New York and three-and-one-half-
game margin over Boston won't count
for much unless they can beat those
rivals.
Bucs Have Golden Chance.
Similarly, Pittsburgh has a great
opportunity to smash its way into the
National League lead and Chicago can
do considerable damage
All the Pirates have done recently
has been to win IL straight games,
the longest major league victory streak
OF the season; climb from fourth
place to second and cut the Giants
lead to a game and half They
did the latter trick yesterday by
smashing down the Chicago Cubs,
5-3, in a brilliant ninth-inning rally.
Cincinnati, which recently passed
Chicago to gain third, whipped the
st. Louis Cardinals, 9-5, in the only
other major league game. The Giants
and Brooklyn were rained out.
Lefty Larry French Of the Cubs
threatened to subdue the Bucs, lead
ing 80 as he went into the ninth
after giving up only two hits in the
first six frames. Then Johnny Rizzo
smacked his second double, Arky
Vaughan walked and Ray Berres beat
out hit to fill the sacks.
Tobin Hurls, Hits to Win.
A force-out sent Rizzo home and
Pitcher Jim Tobin earned his sixth
victory of the season by signing
in the winning runs. Tobin couldn't
finish, however, and Mace Brown had
to retire the last two Cubs in the
ninth.
It took Cincinnati just one inning
to dispose Of the Cards. Eight hits,
including homers by Linus Frey and
Billy Myers, of Roy Henshaw and
Ray Harrell accounted for eight runs
in the first. Lew Riggs socked an
other homer in the third, and the
rest of the afternoon was devoted
to keeping the Cards from scoring
too often.

INDIANS INVASION
TRYING FOR MATS
Cleveland Is One of Two
Western Clubs Boastinq
Edge Over Griffmen.
By FRANCIS E. STAN.

With four straight victories behind
them, all achieved at the expense Of
the hapless Athletics over the week
end. Bucky Harris Senators resumed
campaigning and hosting in Grifith
Stadium today against the league
leading Cleveland Indians.
The Indians, leading the circuit by
q two-game margin over the second
place Yankees, are with us for three.
game series. It follows the set Is i'm.
portant to the Tribe, especially with
the Yanks entertaining the poor but
honest Browns in New York As for
the Senators, it is pretty important
series to them, too.
Harris isn't publicly hoping for a
pennant. His club is eight and one
half games back Of the leaders and
his pitching isn't what it might be.
But the Griffmen are in fourth place,
undisputedly, and they have a definite
chance Of running in the money.
Up to now the Griffs nave been
fairly successful in playing the Western
clubs, which are all the customers
will be seeing at the ballyard for the
next IL days. At home and abroad
the Mats have won % and lost 21
against the Indians, Tigers, White sox
and the Browns.
The Indians have an edge over the
Griffs. They have won Z out Of ~
from the local firm to rank second
only to the Tigers in success against
Washington. The Detroits have won
Z Of II games. 1t has been against
the Browns and White Sox that Harris
gang has shown to good advantage.
The Senators have won z Of II games
from Chicago and Of 10 trays from
the Browns.
The Indians invade to find the GrifY-
men fairly well equipped to carry the
fight to the league leaders. The out
field of Al Simmons, Sammy West and
Rookie George Case has been clicking
OF late. The infleld also has been
playing good ball, especially since the
offensive show put on by First Base
men Jimmy Wasdell and Zeke Bonura
in Sundays triumphant double-header
against the AS. AL season first base
has been the Achilles heel Of the club,
but with Wasdell hitting home runs
with the bases loaded and in the
pinches and Bonura breaking up games
in story-book fashion as a pinch hitter
the infield outlook is brighter.
1t looks as if it's up to the pitchers.
Ken Chase was to start today, chiefly
because he shows adeptness at making
the Indians his victims. The chances
were that Chase would be opposed by
Earl Whitehill. II so. the game today
was to mark the third meeting between
Chase and Whitley this year. Ken won
both Of the previous starts to become
one Of the few left-handers In the
league to display any mastery over the
Indians, although they are essentially
left-handed hitting club.
