It seems evident that the ball still is lively as the home runs are made at their usual rate, but good pitching performances appear on the increase as well.

Manager Rogers Hornsby pro- vided the winning run with a homer. Continuing the surprises of the open- ing day, the Boston Braves and St. Louis Browns each won a second suc- cessive game and joined the Cubs, Car- dinals and New York Yankees in the top positions of the two leagues.
