Through their twin triumph the Red Sox climbed out of the cellar. $ix games instead of seven today separate the Pirates from the league- | leading Giants in the Nationals as a | result of the former's 4 to 2 decision over the champs.

Last season George Uble of Cleve- lland and Ac dolph Luque of Cincinnati were the bright shining stars. It bascball history that few pitchers have ever had two big years in succession. Apparently with as {much stuff as ever, Luque and Uhle have been unable to win consistently this year. In American league Hollis Thurston of Chicago has supplanted Uhle in the spotlight while Emil Yde 1of the Pirates is the big noise in the National. Unlimited confidence in his ability to make good has made possible the great suce that has come to Thurs- ton this year. Had Thurston been content to warm ithe bench, act as relief twirler, in general play the role of second-string | pitcher, he would probably still be |with the St. Louis Browns, unknown Ito fame. | Didn't Like Sub Roles Two y Thurston hought by Louis Americans from the Sait Lake club of the Pacific Coast league. A winning pitcher in vtlm' organization, he made but little progress at St. Louis. Playing the role of mere substitute didn't make a hit with Thurston. He wanted to start games, not finish con- tests that appeared hopelessly lost be- fore he broke into the lineup. “Give me a chance to start some ball games or else send me to some other American league club, If no other team in the American league | wants me, give me a ticket back to the minors. I want to he some place where 1 can pitch in regular turn.
