BUGS ON WAY TO OVERCOME
 HARDY START
Frislh's $ Men Take Seven. in-Row 10 Justify Pre-
 season Favorifism
By Jack Hand (Associated Press Sports Writer1

Pittsburgh is beginning to live up to it's press notices after miser- able start and is showing serious intentions toward it's first pennant since 1927.
 Seven straight victories have re- kindled Fobres Field interest that was red-hot late last summer when the Bucs knocked St. Louis around the lot in a wild but futile squirt, However. Pittsburg fans still re- member the 1888 folding job and are cautious.
 Off-season gossip tabbed the Pi- rates as the Cards most serious opposition and many experts went overheard on Frankie Frisch's chances of dethroning the Red Birds.
 But the club was almost left at the post, winning only two of It's first nine starts against the Reds and Cubs. and floundering under the 800 mark until the eastern teams moved west.
 After trimming New York in the second game of a Polo Grounds doubleheader May 20, the Pirates returned home and beat the Giants the next night, then took three ln a row from Boston and have won two straight from New York in the current series.
 It took Frisch two days to win the second tilt from the leaders. Carrying over a 10-5 lead in a suspended" game from Sunday, the Pirates made it certain, ll-5, when they finished it yesterday. Rain saved the Giants from an- other possible setback as Pitts burgh led, 20, at the end of four innings and needed only three more outs to make it legal when the game was postponed.
 Brooklyn continued to fade, drop ping a 5-3 tilt to Chicago and sinking into fourth place three per centage points behind Pittsburgh and the Cubs, tied for second.
 Cincinnati pulled one out Of the fire, 2-1, over Boston in l2 innings.
 The Philadelphia-St. Louis night tilt in the National, and the Cleve- land Philadelphia, Detroit Wash ington and St. Louis-New York contests in the American were rained out.
 Only American League action Chicago snapping out of a six game losing streak to blister Boston, 8-6.
 Tony Cuccinello had a perfect four for four afternoon, to lead the attack on Rex Cecil and three re- lief men. Bob Johnson delivered a three-run homer.
