 It's been exactly dozen years since both Boston clubs finished to- gether in the first division and never hava they won the flag sim ultsneousy. Tn fact, the Braves have enjoyed only one champion ship season, coming on to win in 1914 after most of the experts had reserved the cellar for them. So Boston fans are keeping their fling CTS crossed, hoping that Mort Cooper can come up with another 20-game season and that the money which bought Johnny Hopp and Ray Sanders from the Cardinals hold out. As for the Red Sox, nothing less than first place fin ish will satisfy the Hub fans
 The Brooks and Cards. one-two in the senior circuit each suffered a double reversal The New York Giants supplied the knockout punch to their interborough rivals before 54,181 paying customers, and the Champion Chicago Cubs gave the Redbirds a thorough going over.
 Rosen Hits Em
 As might be expected, it was Goody Rosen, a Dodger hireling himself only last Friday, who pack ed the biggest wallop of all the games. His three singles in the first game and a three-run and one-baggar in the second were the big blows of the Giants 7-3 and lo-4 decisions.
 The Cubs got revenge for three previous defeats by the Redbirds by winning 917 and 2-1 before 3l,699 fans.
