TAKING FIRST FROM PITTSBURGH Opener in New Series Featured by Five Homers Clouted by McGraw Men; Yanks Walk Of With Pitching Duel With the Sox. CHICAGO, July 11.—(By The Associated Press).—The New York Giants today are in the van four and one half games as a result of their victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday in the first game of the most important mid-season series. Just to show the visiting Pirates that they had not their punch, five of the Giants kicked in with homers, Kelly SS a and Frisch making their second cir cult ¢louts in two days. Manager McGraw, by turning in a victory over Pittsburgh not only e\ped his own position but alded an g 1d friend, Pat Moran, whose Reds de. Ol feated the lowly Phillies, . The re- sult brought Moran's team within one game of the second place pirates, “Dutch” Henry, a south paw who was not good enough for other major league clubs, pitched his second game for Brooklyn, scoring a 9-to-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs, ~ John Stuart, former Ohio state University pitcher, now with the 6t. Louis Cardinals, toyed with President “Matty’s” team in the first game of a doub'e header, holding the Boston Braves to three hits. The Cardinals won handily, 11 to 1, and then Stuart went back In the second game and although hit more freely the Cardi- nals won, 6 to 3. ‘The participation of the New York Yankees in the next worlds series be- came a little closer to being more than conjecture when the Hugmen captured a 3 to 3 pitching duel from the Chi- cago White Sox. Cleveland, present runnerup to the Yankees, maintained its position by taking Connie Mack's rejuveriated Ath- letics into camp by a count of 4 td 3. Washington continued its poor play- ing and fell an easy victim to the St. Louis Browns by a score of 9 to . The Boston Red Sox and Detroit were obliged by rain to make {t a hol!: day. Ernie Johnson, former White Sox inflelder, now with the New York Yankees will remain at his home in Chicago for a week because of an in jury to his hand. Johnson hurt his hand last week knocking down a swift drive off Goslin’s bat in a game against Washington, Uhle out pitched Helmach, and Cleveland -heat Philade!phia...in the first game of the season for position of second place in the American League. Joe Sewell, shortstop of the Indians, was largely instrumental in putting over the victory, as he drove in three runs and played a star game in the field, starting two donbleplays which pulled Uhle out of the hole, Leon Cadore, former right hand pitcher of the Brooklyn Dodgers, re- qprted to Manager Gleason of the Shicago White Sox. Kenneth Williams of the St. Louis Browns cracked out his fourteenth homer of the season in the game against Washington, with Zahniser on the mound.

Walter Hagen, after » ragged 42 for the first nine holes in his qualifying round today, played the last nine in 37 for a total of 79, the fight to Willard from the start.| ‘They believe his main chance of vic- tory is in the first few rounds because Willard baa invariably been slow in warming up to his work. It was by a whirlwind attack in the first round that Jack Dempsey battered Willard into a state of semt-helplessness. This type of battle is believed to be the plan of the South American's veteran | mentor and trainer, Jimmy DeForest, whd was behind Dempsey at Toledo and ts fully acquainted with Willard’s style. Willard has the lesson of the Dempsey fight by which to profit and if experts have “doped” the bout cor- rectly, {t will be a battle between Wil-| lard’s early defensive powers against Firpo’s rushes for the first few rounds, and if the fight goes longer, a toss up as to whether a Willard uppercut or one of Firpo’s eledgham- mer thrusts with his right turns the tide of battle. ‘Today was one of compartive rest for the two boxers.
