After taking every series with the west the Giants receive the Phillies today and should continue to pile up a lead. Phila- delphia, however, showed life vesterday by forcing the Pirates to| extend themselves to win, which is about all the Quakers have done this season, their victories all together totalling only eight. The romp with Philadelphia has been beneficial for the Pirates as it gave them an opportunity to steal away from St. Louis and gain a half grip on second place. Touted as the strong- est team of the west, the Cardinals had less luck' with the Giants RN than the Pirates, Today the Cardinals meet the Pi- irgh in a rattle for which is bound to help the Giants.
