SIX GAMES PLAYED SUNDAY IN THE TWO MAJOR LEAGUES Orgy of Heavy Hitting Features—Williams Speeds Away From Ruth With Two Homers—Luque Wins Own Game With Triple — Giants Advancg Ahead of Pirates and Reds. » New York, July 80.—It was a mad day in the majors yes- terday, a veritable holiday of hits in which the rabbit ball re- ceived an elaborate pounding and various high salaried young men ran themselves ragged on the bases. In six games played in the two leagues, a total of 119 hits were spanked out, seven of them homers, not to mention a sprin- kling of two and three baggers. These netted a total of 56 runs. Sixty of the hits and five of the homers were made in the Nation- al circuit, while the American sluggers hit out 59. Cy Williams knocked out two homers to help the Phillies down the Cardinals 6 to 2. This brings Cy’s total for the sea- gon to 27, which is three better than Babe Ruth can boast. The Pirates being idle, slipped a notch,in the race toward the league’s topping Giants who mauled three' Cub pitchers at Chi- cago for a 15 to 3 victpry. Frankie Frisch of the Giants and Statz of the Cubs, hit home runs. In the only other National league game theé Reds defeated Boston 2 to 1. It was a pitcher’s battle with®he ancient Adolfo Luque outpitching Benton of the Braves and registering his sev- enteenth victory for the season. The Yankees split a double-header with the White Sox at gh:o Yank Stadium losing the first 8 to 2 and winning the second 2. The only other American league game was captured by Wash- ington who simothered Detroit on the Capitol field taking the " Rangers. ab, = 4 Sang Roceo, of. .. Middleton, 2! Hayes, c. eifels, rf.

Jimmy Austin, third sacker of the St. Louis Browns, never again will see 40, yet he hangs on with dogged de- termination. For several years Jim- my has merely played the role of sub- stitute, It is Jimmy's enthusiasm rather than his ability that now keeps him in the big show. Two Real Exceptions Two decided exceptions to the theory that a ball player is a as been” at 40 are Babe Adams of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jack Quinn of It was his slow curve and change of pace that upset the Detroit sluggers. Recently I saw Adams in action, and there seemed no difference in his pitching of. today than that of 15 yed#rs ago. Can’t Overlook *Em Quinn's long_carcer, even though he uses the spitball, can be traced to the fact that there is no snap to his delivery, a rather uncommon feature with every spitball pitcher. Incidentally no spitball pitcher in the history of the game delivers the ball in a manner similar to Quinn.
