 Half Game When Lose to Athletics
By JOE REiCHLER

Associated Press Sports Writer) John McGraw aiways maintained fhat one of the prime requisites Of a championship club was a first class relief pitcher.
 Following the logic of the i'm mortal leader of the New York Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers al- ready should have one leg on the National League flag. For where is there a better fireman" than huge Hugh Casey, the relief pitcher ex- traordinaire of the Brooks?
 His latest win came yesterday at Ebhets Field when he took over in the seventh inning and held the Cardinals scoreless in the three re- maining frames to emerge with a 7-6 triumph.
 In handing the Red Birds their 18th defeat in Is starts this season, the Brooks had to come from be- hind to win.
 Tie Fer Second
 Chicago ard Boston moved into a tie for secono place, two games be- hind the Brooks, when the Cubs squeezed through with a 3-2 vic tory over the Phillies in Philadel- phia and the Braves made their home night inaugural a success by blanking the Pittsburgh Pirates 60
 The Cubs had to came from be- hind with two runs in the seventh to win, while the Braves, behind the fcur-hit pitching cf Johnny Sain, won in easy fashion. Kirby Higbe was the starting and losing pitcher for Pittsburgh, which drop ped from second to fourth place.
 Giants Trounced
 Cincinnati won it's first victory in the current eastern swing by trcuncing the Giants at New York 11-6. Although forced to seek relief in the eighth. veteran Bucky Wal ters registered his 192nd big league mound victory and his second with out a defeat this season.
 } The Chicago White SoX saw theil American League lead shrink to g half game when they dropped 8 80 game to the lowly Philadelphia Athletics while the Tigers were shading the New York Yankees in Detroit 3-2.
 Makes Two Homers
 Big Ted Williams rang a merry tune, ringing out two homers ano a single to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 6-5 11-inning triumph over the Browns in St. Louis. After tying the score in the ninth with his first circuit clout, Ted walloped another with two men on base ill the 11th to offset a two-run up- rising by the Browns in their half It was the fifth homer of the cam paign for Williams and the fourth successive defeat for St. Louis.
 Washington and Cleveland were not scheduled.

The Pacific Coast League leaders, Los Angeles gave their crosstown rivals, Hollywood, a 14-hit, 3-hcm- CT treatment for a l2 to victory last night in the first cf the intra- city series.

 Seattle W-,ls
 Cellar sitting Seattle rose up to nip sixth-place Oakland, $ to 5, by way of some entertaining business in the last inning. What became the winning run was scored in the first of the ninth when the Oak land first oaseman, Les Scarsella, lost track of how many were out, threw the ball into diamond and started for the dugout, permit ting Paul Carpenter to score from first.
 That made it 6 to 3 for Seattle and they just barely halted an Oakland rally which gave the losers two runs in the last of t!le nlnth.
 Barrett Yanked
 Dick Barrett, winning pitcher, was yanked after giving two singles; his successor, Ike Pearson, was taken out after walking the next two men and Tommy Refs finished up. The rally ended when Bill Hart hit into double play
