ASSpIAdltu opOllS WTlter.
On this day this particular story
is bound to be about pitching. and
it could emphasize several kinds, all
of them good.
For instance. it could go into de-
tail about Bob Fellers goth victory;
or the double-teaming by Mort
Cooper and Lou Warneke that added
half game TO the st. Louis Cardi-
nails lead: or the seven-hit hurting of
Brooklyns Whitlow Wyatt which
kept that lead from growing even
larger: or the twin ShutoutS of Gin
clnnati by Jim Tobin and Johnny
HutchingS of the Boston Braves; or
the siX-hit WhiteWash Ted Lyons ap-
piled to Washington for his 243d
White Sox triumph.
All were standout performances,
but the biggest palm must go to
two elbowers who don't come close
to Lyons in experience, to Feller
in brillance or to Cooper and War;
neke for victories won.
They are pair of right flanders,
Johnny Niggeling and Bob Harris,
and they labor in the comparative
obscurity of the ST. Louis Browns
Nlggeling, veteran of SO. who was
picked up on waivers from Cincin-
natl winter before last, and Harris.
a comparative vouneSter of 25.
tossed in on the Buck NeWsom deal
two years ago.

leaders, 60, and broke Charley Ruff
fng'S winning streak at nine
straight. He not only kept Joe Di
Maggie hitless for the first time in
II contests. but was the first pitcher
IN "a games able to keep the great
Giuseppe from getting on base.
Then Harris came along with a
handsome tWo-hitter in the NIGHT
cap for a SO shutout, the first Yank
blanking since May 30. He also
held Di Mag without hit, and COM
pleted destruction of another Yankee
record-that of not having lost :
double-header all season.

came in the first tilt of a twin bill
with the Philadelphia Athletics that
drew record Shibe Park crowd of

to three hits as the Indians won, 6-3.
The Tribe missed chance to pick
up two full games on the Yankees

Senators.
Bengals Beat BOsox.
The Detroit Tigers built up an
early lead for Hal NeWhouser as he
turned back the Boston Red Sox. 6-3.
Cooper, ma king his first start since
June II. and Warne.e. getting his
18th win of the year. combined TO
hold the Phillies to II hits for two
6-l victories.
Cooper. who was operated upon
June % for removal of bone growth
on his pitching arm. showed no signs
of after-effects while allowing only
SIX SafetieS. Warneke turned in a
f1ve-hitter.
The Dodgers, ending their Western
trip with four-game winning
string, collected Is hits in beating
the Cubs, 1872.
For the Boston Braves it was five
hit pitching by Tobin and three

the Cincinnati Reds, SO and 80.
The New York Giants relapsed into
their losing ways as they bowed to
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4 and 1914,
the latter in only six innings be-
cause of the Pennsylvania Sunday
curfew.
