Tris Speaker's four-bagger le@ the way’ in Washington’s fourth inning attack that gave the team a 4 to 1 win over the St. Louis Browns Yn the first game of a double-header. The Browns took the second, with a ninth inning rally, 3 to 2. A home run by Babe Herman, Brooklyn sub, put the skids under the Chicago Cubs, National League leaders. The Cubs took the field in the last half of the eighth with a 4 to 1 lead. Herman hit one of Carl- son’s twisters out of the lot with two runners on base. Bobby Bar- rett’s single in the ninth scored two more after the Cubs had forged into the lead with a run in their half. The 6-5 beating ended the Cubs’ win- ning streak-of four games, Riggs Stephenson smashed a home run off Dazzy Vance in the first inning with one runner on base. Charlie Dressen’s home run in the eighth broke a 1 to 1 tie and gave Cincinnati a victory over the Phila- delphia Nationals. Luque let the Phillies down with four hits. 1 Hornsby Does It, Too Rogers Hornsby’s home run won the first game of the Giants-Pirates series, but his error yesterday paved the way for Pittsburgh’s 4 to 1 verdict to even the count. The New York captain missed an easy ground- er with-a double play in sight. Three runs followed. on the heels of the misplay. Carmen -Hill, one of the bespectacled pitching twins of the Pirate staff, registered his fifth vic- toryover the Giants this year. The Waner duo accounted for three of the Pirates’ tallies. “The St. Louis Cardinals were late in getting started against the Boston Braves, but they won, 7 to 3.. The world’s champions put across five runs in the seventh. Jess Haines Hmited the Braves to six hits. Collegian Aids Detroit Detroit started a recruit’ pitcher against -the Boston Red Sox. Bill- ings, a Brown university product, not only finished the ganre but held the Bostonians to four hits, Detroit win- ning, 6, to 2. The collegian was seored on only in the eighth inning. The Philadelphia Athletics made it three in a row from Cleveland, bat- ting Hudlin and Brown for a 4 to 1 decision. Lefty Grove held the In- dians in hand throughout and was not ‘cored on until the eighth. Teams in the American Association were idle.

Slogan Now BY BILLY EVANS Will a left hook to the jaw cost }the Pittsburgh Pirates the 1927 Na- tional League pennant? If either the Chicago Louis Cardina nose out the only fitting and proper that the suc- cessful manager the victorious club extend a vot® of thanks to Catcher “Oil” Smith for his pugilis- tie activities on the diamond. It will be recalled that late in June there occurred at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, a one-round argument between the ‘Pirate backstop and Manager Dave Bancroft of the Bos- ton Braves, Cubs, ut One-nid The bout was a one-sided affair, the lighter Bancroft proving no match for Smith, who won as he pleased, a left hook to the jaw, fol- lowing 'a series of punches to the stomach, sending Bancroft down for the count. . That impromptu ring affair, which resulted in a Pirate triumph, may leventually cost Pittsburgh the pen- nant and the right to share in the rich spoils of a world series. There are two Strong reasons for such a belief. First, President Heydler of the National League handed down a sus- pension that deprived Pittsburgh of the services of Catcher Smith for 30 days. le Smith may have his peculiarities, there is no getting away from the ‘fact that he jis a mighty valuable catcher. The Pi. rates missed him over that long stretch of suspension. Had Manager Bush been able’ to’call on him in a number of the close score games that were Jost, the results might have been different. Feud Develops More important to the chances of. the Pirates, however, has been the feud developed between Boston and Pittsburgh as a result of the fight between Smith and Bancroft. It ap- parently stirred up an ill-feeling among the Boston Braves: for »Pitts- burgh that threw @ monkey wrench into the smooth working Pirate ma- chine.’ x . “Get Pittsburgh” seems to have it 18—()—There distinctive “schools: in ,baseball, but Dazzy I yn’s great right-hander, "$ going to become gray. ing, to out-think any batters. .
