‘PIRATES THREE GAMES BEHIND CINCINNATI TEAM GIANTS RESTORE PERCENT- AGE MARK FIVE HUNDRED BY TRIUMPH OVER PHILA- DELPHIA ASSOCIATED PRESS HEAD- QUARTERS, June 4.—Duplicat- ing the smashing drive of 1925,| which lifted them from pit to pinnacle, the Pirates once more have brought off a mighty push from an eighth place get-away to pound low at the portals of National League leadership. In second place, after a sensa- tional spurt, which yesterday dis- lodged the Chicago Cubs, the Pi- rates today stood only three full games behind the leading Cincin- nati Reds. The climb of the cham- pions thus has matched almost toa day their pace of a year ago, since! it in the first week of June,| 1 , that the Pirates landed in the contending position. They re- mained there until the first week ef July, then they went out in front to show the waly for the re- mainder of the season, except for one week in August. While Piteher Yde was checking the Wind City bid yesterday, 3 to 2, the pace-makers ran into a riot- ing hub grigade which had batter- ed and bruised Brooklyn Wednes- day. Redland forces, playing the first game of an eastern invasion, fared no»better than the Robins, breaking under a storm of base hite which extended Boston’s run total to 38 for three games, Wally P’pp replied to the assault with a counter attack of four: hits, but figures at the finish; showed an overwhelming vote in favor of the tail enders, 12 to 5. The nts restored their per- centage mark to .500 by another triumph over the Phillies, 10 to 5, their fourth of the five game series. The result gave the standing an- other shakeup, pushing McGraw’s team past the Cardinals to tie Brooklyn for fourth place, and placing the seventh-place Quak- ers on the brink of the cellar. ~ The Yanks finished their eastern ecampagn with a parting cuff at the Red Sox, 8 to 5, extending their advantage over the second place Athletics to seven and a half | games, Two drives“ by Ruth “into the right field stands, the Babe’s 17th and 18th of the-season, ae- counted for five of the “Yankes’s runs.
