Holmes was halted in the first game of a Braves-Cubs double- header by Hank Wyse, one of two, Bruin hurlers who had ‘horse-col-| lared Holmes back on June 3, his, last hitless day. The Cubs triumph- ed to stretch their win string to 11, as Wyse snapped the season’s most sensational spurt by sending the: Boston outfielder to the dugout without a bingle in four trips to! the plate. Boston evened the series and spiked the Cubs' string in the nightcap: when Holmes again hit safely. Another string was snipped yes-! terday also when Bobo Newsome,' who had gone from April 21 to July 12 without picking. up a, mound decision, finally broke his‘ 12-game losing dirge with a hrll-‘ liant four-hit shutout of last year's| champs, the St. Louis Browns. *‘ Games Yesterdav | (National League; | New York 9, St. Louis 7. |7 { be plaved, so long as it doesn’t in- Cincinnati 4-5, Brooklyn 3-11.

But unofficially there was strong sentiment at the joint meeting in | {favor of holding the October clas- sic if at all possible under trans- portation conditions at that time. “Somebody ought to come out and say that the series is going to said a baseball leader who preferred to not be identified.
