Yesterday's 11-7 triumph coming on the wings of Phil Cavarretta's bome run which highlighted a five-run splufge in the ninth in- ning, was Chicago’s s2cond straight win over the Rhinelanders, both victories coming in the final {rame. Cubs Come Up | As in Tuesday’s cpener when they led the Cubs 3-0 going ninth only to lose 4-3, the Reds en- ! joyed a 7-6 advantage after eight stanzas yesterday. But the Cubs came up with the kig five in their last turn at the bat for their 23rd victory in their last 24 games with Cincinnati. Beating the Reds in the fial frame js no new experience for the! Cubs. Last year the Bruins trailed on six different occasions when they came up for their last licks at the plate, but each time they, rallied to down their frenzied fall-| guys. | Ciney’s Johnny Vander, of no-; hit fame, making his post-war de- but, and Hank Wyse, the Cubs’ 22- game winner last year, opposed each cther at the start, but both were not around at the finish. Em- il Kush received credit for the ; victory and Clyde Shoun, third of | four Redleg hurlers, was the loser.| The scores: i American League Boston . 041 302 021—13 15 0 Washington ... 012 200 C01— 6 11 l| Ferris, Johnson (4) and Wagner; | Masterson, Curtis (3), Wilson <4),j Pieretti (6), Kennery (9 and/ Evans.
