the Cubs yesterday, the Brook

Red Birds down.
who do these guys think
they are, anyway?)
The Cubs, apparently uncon-
WINGED that it's time for the
second-division clubs to stop
throwing their weight around
among the aristocracy, dropped
the Dodgers with resounding
thump yesterday, whipping them
twice by counts of ga and SIS.
Coupling that earth-shaker
with a double victory for the
Red Birds over the Phillies, So
and 10. the Dodgers staggered
out of Wrigley Field with their
comfortable three-game margin
sliced to a single game.
Chicago Is Just
AS far as st. Louis was con-
cerned the Chicago victories
were fine piece of justice in
action. since the Cubs had knock
ed ST. Louis out of the lead with
a similar double triumph only a
week ago.
Kirby Higbe and Whit Wyatt.
ace performers of the Brooklyn
mound staff, were driven from
the hill in the opening game as
the Cubs, trailing 80 at the end
of the seventh, suddenly turned
loose five-nn blast in the
eighth and ninth.
Bill Nicholson's two-run hon.
er in the seventh inning of the
secod game did the Cubs no
harm in that one, while young
Paul Erickson kept the Dodgers
down 30 six hits.
Cards Looked Good
The Cards played heads-up
ball in setting the last-place
Phillies down by narrow mar
gins.
Harry Gumbert, who gained
a shutout in the second tilt, was
aided by 90 assists on the part
of the infielders as he gave up
three scattered singles, famed
five and did not give UP a walk.
Lon Warnelke Won his six
teenth of the season in taking
the first game.
Braves Take ls-Inning Till
The Boston Braves finally
came out victorious in one of the
longest games played in the ma
jor leagues this year. It was a
fifteen-inning fracas with the
Cincinnati Reds and the score
was Al. Each team counted a
lone run before the fifth round
and from then until the fifteenth
the scoreboard was full of zeros.
A three-run outburst in the iii
tenth settled the overtime aft
fair in favor Of the Braves.
Jim Tobin, who started on the
mound for Boston, struck out IL
Redlegs during the IL frames he
worked.
The Giants sent in . rookie
hurler against the Pirates in the
last appearance Of the New
Workers at Pittsburgh this sea-
son and It proved disastrous
move. For six innings, Harry
Feldman, called from Jersey
City bv the Giants, hurled two
hit bali. He struck out six and
walked just three Although
the BUGS got to him for a pair
of markers in the very first IN
ming. he looked good for the next
five frames. Came the seventh
and his Waterloo. He was
vanked after only one-third Of
the round but the damage had
already been done. The Bucs
were hot and before the round
was over they had tailed five
times. They nan-handled three
other New York moundsnen
lust as bad as the rookie. Carl
Hubbell finished the game.
Tigers And Bosox Break Even
Boston Red Sox and Detroit
Tigers ended their rivalry IN the
American League all even Tor
