Vander Meer had pitched shut- out ball for five innings, but the sixth, seventn and eighth frames saw the Giants piled up five runs and run the “ho-hit” pitcher and Shoun to the showers. Cascarel- la went in and stopped the New Yorkers. Meanwhile, the Reds had been pecking away and came out on top of the 8 to 5 score. The Cincy outfit took the series, two games to one. or, seven innings, Errickson of |, Boston Bees, a rookie pitcher, and Bob Weiland of St. Louis Card- inals twirled no-run ball. Then, in the eighth the Bees scored one run and had victory in sight. But Rookie Errickson not only weak- ened in the ninth inning but filled the bases and walked in the tying run. Reis, sent in to relieve Errickson, was totiched for the hit Maggio, Dickey and Rolfe of the Yankees, Foxx, Cramer, Cronin and Vosmik of the Red Sox, and West atid Kress of the Browns; in the National League, outside of pitchers, McCormick and Lom-' batdi of the Reds, Lavagatto of the Dodgers, Medwick and Slaughter of the Cards, Martin, Aronovich and Klein of the Phils, Hartnett and Hack of the Cubs, Garms of the Bees, Ott, Moore | and Riddle of the Giants, and L.

Martin and Mize of the Cards, Sharing of the Phils, Koy and Phelps of the Dodgers and Rosen of the same club, O’Dea and Galan of the Cubs, Brubaker and Handley of the Pirates, Stripp of the Cards, Demeree and McCarthy of the Giants.
