Fifteen home runs, including one off the bludgeon of the mighty Babe Ruth, figured in the batting orgy of yesterday. Opening the home season at Pittsburgh, the Cardinals forced the Pirates to walk their own plank by the count of 13 to 10 before a crowd of 30,000. The National league champions called upon 21 players, seven of whom were pitch- ers. St. Louis gathered 17 hits against 14 made by the Corsairs off three Cards’ twirlers. The sparkling pitching feat of the day however was furnished by| Sheriff Blake of the Cubs who put the manacles on the Reds by, allow- ing two measly taps, singles Purdy and Ford.

Acting Manager Rogers Hornsby of the Braves piloted his warriors through to a 9 to 8 victory in a 10-inning thriller with the Giants. Hornsby crossed the plate with the tying run in the ninth and in the tenth slashed a single with a man on third and two out to save the day for Boston. The Braves hammered Cantwell and Faulkner for 16 hits against nine credited to the Mc- Grawmen off the combined efforts of Genewich and Brandt. The Robins ripped out with three home runs, one each for Elliott, Bressler and Herman, but they took the small end of a 9 to 5 score The Quakers me away in the sixth inning when Jumbo Ellictt was chased to the showers during a sev- en-run rally.

The Bambino had gone_hit- less in a morning contest which the Hose won by 7 to 6 although out- batted by the Hugmen, 16 to 10. It was the first defeat for the world’s champions this year. But the New Yorkers went after the afternoon fray, winning by 7 to 2 in six inn- ings, the game being abbreviated on account of rain. Ruth now lags but one run behind his twin fence buster, Lou Gehrig, in the home run ry. Cleveland riddled three hurlers with 15 safeties to capture the fourth straight from the White Sox by 9 to 2.
