Fifteeen hits rattled off Tiger bats and 11 off the Nationals' war clubs, Goose Goslin staked the Nationals to a score in the first frame with his ninth homer of the season, a loft over the right ficld wall, and in the third frame another home club run was registered when Tiger strategy went awry. With two on and two out, Sor- rell purposely passed the Goose, but Judge drew An unintentional pass that shoved Ruel home.

That was Sherdel's only bad spot. but in the face of Benton's superlative pitch- ing it was enough to send the small left- hander down to defeat. . The Cards never gave up trying and filled the bases in the ninth inilng. but the unruffied Benton induced Douthit to lift to Mann and the game was over Two singles, coupled with an infield out, gave the Cards their first run in the fifth inning. Their sécond was person- ally accounted for by Ernest Orsatti, Minneapolis recruit, who punched out a home run in the sixth, his second in as many days. But these sporadic out- burets did no more, in the long run, than make the game as close as were the two that preceded it. Beck’s single with the bases filled in the ninth gave the Cubs a 3-to-2 victory over the Brooklyn Robins, Hart- nett crossing the plate with the wine ning run on the shortstop's blow.

MARTIN J. BARRY 1638 Connecticut Ave. the clan McGraw is in the lead.| games | won and lost the Cardinals still show | Henry Johnson | [ e BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, August 20.—The| National League race takes a flop toward New York for the moment. The good stiff punch which the Glants have handed the St. Louis Cardinals has changed the aspect of things considerably. 1If the Giants had been able to do as well in | Chicago, they would begin to look as though they had one of their old fash- ioned winning streaks with them. After all, it is not so much a matter | o concern to St. Louis that the Giants have been able to forge into the lead as it is that the Cardinals for the mo- ment have lost thetr punch. ‘That losing streak which began when the Cardinals started toward home after a successful trip in the East still comw tiaues and this week will witness many | things that will go to prove whether I York in front with a husky lead or St Leuis sti’l camped on the Giants' trail. This National League race is no ordi- nary affalr. Five clubs ars higher than 300 in winning percentage and only twn of.them are a shade above .600. Pive teams are bunched within a mar- gin of fewer than 70 percentage points Ten bad that the other three teams haven't been able to make the grade beiter. Brooklyn, Boston and Phila- deiphia are the weak sisters. Brooklyn may get a bit higher and clubs may get between 550 and .500 tefore the race is over. That brings things down to a narrowness like the eve of a needle. Last year the fight carried on until it had developed into three-cornered finish, with Pitts- buigh, New York and St. Louis in the scrap. At the last moment Louis club beat the Giants out for the pennant.

The Cubs are up with the Giants in the victory column, for they have played more games and now The Cubs can't lose or win the games that al- ready have been chalked up, while the Giants, having more games to play, al- ways have a chance to win the big end of them. Of course, they also may Inse the big end. and that's the finish of the Giants if they do In 1927 for a few days it seemed as if the 8t. Louls club might come through and overhaul Pittsburgh, which was hanging on desperately. The Card- inals didn't quite have the stamina, though they had the spirit. Pittsburgh fought Cincinnati to a standstill and the pennant was decided on October 1. There is a possibility that the fight will run this year to September 30, the clos- ing day of the race, but more probably the pennant will be an historical inci- dent by September 27 Rogers Hornsby admits that his Boston team isn't worth the candle to blow it up. Yet when he is compelled to play eight games with the Giants in September he promises there will be the best fight that a second division team has ever made, no matter whether he has much or little strength. Horns- by realizes that the New York-Boston series in September will be watched from one end of the circuit to the other. This next serles of the Giants with the Braves is something like that of many years ago between New York and Boston when George Stallings ran Bos- on, but without much of a ball club. The Giants at that time had to win from Boston to make the pennant sure and they had to fight lika terriers until they actually had it won. Then the Braves wilted like weeds in a hot sun in the remainder of the games they simply exhibited their desire to get through with ‘the old thing as quickly as possible.
