Sox sent eight men across the plate. Di- Maggio blasted two round-trip- pers and Dahlgren one in the nightcap. Chicago White Sox again downed the St. Louis Browns in| the ninth frame, duplicating’ their feat of the day before. Knotting the count in the sixth with a three-run burst, Chap- man, with two men already out of the way, poled a double that sent Appling home from first, giving the Sox the 4-3 victory. | Cincinnati Reds increased their lead to five games while the Brooklyn Dodgers were rained out. Taking on the red-hot Pitts- burgh Pirates, the Redlegs had a hard time subduing them but they did it in the tenth inning. McCormick's four-bagger in the ninth that tied the score and his timely single in the tenth proved the margin of victory. Brooklyn and Philadelphia played just two innings of their contest before rain began to fall, ending activities. Dodgers were leading, 3-0, at that juncture. Johnny Mize’s 33rd home run of the season helped the St. Louis Cardinals in downing the Chicago Cubs, 5 to 1. Shoun did the mound duty for the Redbirds, holding the Bruins to seven safeties. Cards pounded French and Root for an even dozen safe blows. Boston Bees annexed their 11th game in their last 15 starts by whipping the New York Giants, 4to 1. Manager Terry was oust- ed from the field for protesting | a decision, the third time in his career as pilot of the New York- ers. Danning, who went hitless in four appearances at the plate, was replaced as leading hitter of the National League by Carvel Rowell, of the Bees, who secured one safety in his four tries.
