The Pirates, on a batting rampage, gave the Cubs their first defeat of the campaign, while the Phillies came to life to add to the misery of the league champion Dodgers. The Cards easily disposed of the Reds. = Phil Douglas held the Braves to six scattered hits and the Glants won. 9 to 1. McQuillan was well pounded by the McGraw clan and Cooney, relief pitcher, was wild. Bancroft and Frisch did some stellar playing for the winners. Martin and Fuhr were marks for Pirate batters and the Cubs were downed, 14 to 2. The first Chicago pitcher lasted five innings, yielding eight safeties, while Fuhr was nicked for eleven. All of the winners hit safely. The Pirates made nine runs in the ninth, each member of the club scoring. Hamilton was reached for thirteen hits by the Cubs, but was well supported. s Home runs figured prominently in the Phillies’ 3 to 2 victory over the Dodgers. Williams made one for the Donovan tribe in the first inning and in the seventh Neis clouted a four- count. Then Meusel won for Phils in the eighth with a homer.

The trouble with him when he started in the majors was that he was frightened by the importance of the task. The rain and cold have hit the speed teams hard.
