The Reds have lost twice in two days and now lead the league by a margin of three and one-half games over the Cardinals. Possibly Jack did not figure on Hack Wilson, who accomplished Cin- cinnat s downfall yesterday with a home run for Chicago in the eleventh. The score was 2 to 1 and the pitching victim Pete Donohue And there came a threat from another quarter when the Pirates of Pittshurgh brought to an end a losing streak that had endured for eight games. the Cardinals, 7 to 3 The Glants edged back, into the Five runs in the seventh put the Pirates ahead, and they downed Two runs in the ninth brought the 00 class by beating Brooklyn, 5 to | St. Louis Browns from behind to de- 3, with another defeat for Jess Petty. A seventh-nning rally gave the Boston Braves a 3-to-1 victory over Philadelphia. Washington and New York divided a double-header in the American League. The Athletics fell before the Red Sox, 10 to 5, nine pitchers working in @ three-hour struggle feat the White Sox, 4 to 3, Mellilo’s triple accounting for the winning run. Falk of Chicago and Sisler of St. Louis had home runs. Manush registered 4 home run, two triples and a double for Detroit, but his team was beaten by a late Cleve- land rally, 11 to 6. The Indians gathered nine runs in the last two in- nings. Summa’s homer accounted for three scores in the ninth BASE BALL SECRETS I By Sol Metzger When Nearing Third on Outfleld Hit. | 1 NG | fast base runner fails to| score because of poor judgment on the bags. For example, a runner is on first when the batter hits a two bagger to right fleld. Inexperienced fast men invariably try to score on the hit and are often unnecessar put out at the plate. To avoid thi out the experienced runner, as he comes to third, turns his head toward right fleld and takes in the situation, as the player on the left in the illus- tration {s doing. Don't blindly run bases like the player on the right. R Max Bishop of the Athletics has played in 54 games without an error, accepting 256 chances in that time. Tailoring determines the price!
