ANOTHER SEVEN WEEKS AND SEASON WILL CLOSE Standing Changes Little in Struggles — Pittsburgh Drops Brooklyn—Cincinnati and Philadelphia Split Twin Bill—Giants Trim Cubs—Braves Blank St.| Louis—Yanks Win Again—Cleveland Beats Sena- | tors—Athletics and Red Sox Victors. By the Assoctated Press. Five weeks major baseball leagues have failed to change the standing to any great extent and another seven wecks will send the end of the season. The New York Yankees are ning far ahead of the Pirates appear to have rounded into the stretch with a terrific rush, three games ahead of the St. Louls Cardinals and four ahead of Cin- cinnati. Beaten eight straight times, the Brooklyn Dodgers are being tramped in the wild dash for the wire, the nts having galloped over them to lock with the Chicago Cubs in a fourth p brush. Pittsburgh dropped Brooklyn ye terday, 9 to 3, Ray Kremer's steady pitching being ably supported by his mates at the plate, who clinched the contest with five runs in the sixth inning. Jess Petty was the vi tim of a weird exhibition by the Brooklyn infield. Cincinnati could gain than an even break from Philadel- phia, losing the first by 7 to 4 and Winning the second, 10 to 5. Donohue called it a day after allow- ing five safeties and putting out two men, the enemy ammassing seven runs in the opening frame of the first game. Eddie Roush and Rube Bressler held a slugging attack that accounted for the cecond contest. Kent Greenfieid allowed the Cubs only five hits and won for the Giants, 4 to 3. The hitting of Travis Jackson, Giant shortstop, featured the contest, his record showing a “home run, two doubles and a single. Freddie Lindstrom of the Giants also had a homer. Larry Benton pitched the Boston Braves' third consecutive shutout, setting down St. Louis, 5 to 0. He granted only five safeties, two of them doubles. The Yankees' resumed a winning stride along with Babe Ruth’s 36th home run of the vear and defeated Detroit, 9 to 8, there being no Lil Stoners or Earl Whitehills to stop | them. Their margin for Sad Sam Jones should have been much gr er but Mark Koenig muffed an easy fly for the third out in the ninth and four runs followed the error. Tris Speaker did his best to keep his Cleveland Indians in the race driving out a circuit blow with two on in the fourth, Cleevland from Washington eventually, 7 to 5. Al Simons also recorded a round- trip smash which a 2 to 1 victory over Chicago. It was his 16th circuit punch of the year and came in the second inning with & mate on base. four hits off Rube Walberg. Sixteen hits by the Boston Red Sox gave Bryan Harris a 7 to 5 de- cision over the Browns. Emory Rig- ney, Boston shortstop, tripled for the winning runs in the eighth.
