What is believed to be a record for total number of innings in one day's four-game schedule in a major cir- cult was achieved yesterday when fifty-four innings were played In the National League. The league-leading Pirates had to go through, seventeen innings to overcome the circuit cham- pion Dodgers. It took the Braves fif- teen to beat the Cards and the Cubs were unable to score over the Giants until the thirteenth session. The Reds yanquished the Philllics in regulation time. Doubles by Carey and Maranville oft Mamaux, after one was out in the seventcenth, gave the Pirates_their 6 to 5 win over the Dodgers. The Pi- rates, in a four-run rally, drove Smith from' the slab in the eighth. The Dodgers tied the score with three runs off Glazner in the ninth. Adams took his place, but Ygllowhorse fin- ished the game.

ITH both Senors Emilio Palmero and Jose Acosta hurling as if W the independence of Cuba depended on their individual efforts, prospects were bright for an overtime battle when round 8 of . the second tilt ’twixt Nationals and Browns arrived yesterday. Then the first-mentioned Castilian curver blew up and his pint-sized rival copped, 6-3. This almost unprecedented feat for the Griffmen of winning two games in a row from the Mound City brigade has heartened McBride's maulers to such an extent that they think their old jinx may be dead, and are looking forward with confidence to repeat.ng the dose this afternoon, ;ggc&:;]gl:/“;s George Mogridge, with an extra day of rest, is billed to do George Boland probably will llllcd on to fling for the Fohls, and L] by Nicholson that W ¢k 1o obtain revenge for the WCH, Well, Well! 3 mauling given him by the Nationals | teenth was responsible for the Brave at Sporismen’s Ficld some four weeks m=e==|5 to 4 triumph over the Cards.

No time was lost by the Browns in \ horning into the run column, Tobin arting with a safety to center, ad- vancing on Lamb's neat sacrifice and scoring from third, after Sisler sin- gled to Harris, on Williams' long fly to_Brower. This tally was matched, with one to boot. in the second, when Miller led with a short safety to left, which ! netted him two bases because Wil- liams played it poorly. Shanks drew a pass, and the bases were loaded when Gharrity beat out a bunt to Palermo. O'Rourke then lined & sin- gle to right, which scored Miller, Shanks also counting when Tobin jug- gled the ball. Acosta rolled to Pa. lermo and a double play ensued, his toss to Lamb being ferried to Sisler. A single Harris scratched off Lee's shins in the third paved the way for another Griffithian tally. Harris should have counted on Rice's line double, which missed about one foot of carrying over the right-field fence, but he waited and was aided when Collins dropped Tobin's throw of Mil- ler’s fly. urke presented the Browns with a run in the fourth.

Although he yielded ten hits, in only two rounds was more than one bingle obtained off him, these ! accounting for the tallies earned by the Browns, the other being a gift from O'Rourke. Bing Miller's hitting shows no signs of abating. Yesterday was the six- teenth consecutive game in which he has collected one or more safeties. His triple in the eighth, which pro- duced the decisive tally, was a herca- lean wallop that carried far over Ja~ cobson's dome in right center. Ellerbe was missed by his admirers. Frank is nursing the knee he injured + when the Browns were playing in New York a few days ago. He Wrenched it again in the practice yesterday. Palmero caused some of the boys considerable trouble with his odd de- livery, which resembles that of a cricketer bowling. Gharrity, O’'Rourke and Acosta whiffed in a row in the th, each taking the third strike. Collins didn’t look good on that triple steal when Shanks scored in the eighth. He dropped Palmero's throw and was guilty of a similar muff when Harris scored after Miller's fly to Tobin in the second.
