By the Associated P Pittsburgh, idle for several during which the club has damaged by internal strife, is ready to meet the eastern invasion that is expected to decide the National league championship. The Careyless Pirates encounter Boston in the first series of contests and from the showing the Braves made against Brooklyn yesterday will have little trouble. The Bo: tonians, however, usually mal themselves felt in the final sta of a pennant race. 8t. Louis’ hopes, the Cardinals mained well to the fore in ster- day's struggles, three home runs aiding them in defeating the Chi go Cubs, 7 to Jim Bottomley, and Les Bell hit circlit blows for the Cardinals while Hack Wilson and Mike Gonzales of Chicago obtained one and remained in a tie with Bot- tomely for the National league honors at 16. ‘Cincinnati, third-place club, con- tinued its unrelenting pursuit of the Cardinals by turning back Philade phia, 4 to 2, with its infield furnish- ing four double plays behind Dono- hue and Rixey. Hugh Critz, Reds second baseman, was outstanding in the attack with a brace o. doubles. Brooklyn trounced the Brav twice, 4 to 1 and 11 to 3, T Vance keeping seven hits wel Iscat- tered in the first contest while the Brooklyn bats attained a ppwer which has been lacking for several weeks to win the second. Sixteen lusty whacks gave the steady Jess Barnes little to worry about. The Yankees could gain no better than an even break in a double header with the Red Sox, but Cleve- land failed %o gain as the result of a split with the Browns. Babe Ruth hit safely four out of five times, dur- ing the afternoon, his record show- | ing a home run, two doubles and a single, all of which had something to do with the run making. Herb Pennock won the first game, 4 to 2, but four runs in the sixth inning of the second gave Boston a o to 3 margin. 8t. Louis outslugged Clevels win the opening battle, 77 to 7, ly Schang and Ken Williams ypro- ducing home runs by George Uhle registered his nineteenth victory of the season in the second, 6 to 4 George Burns of the Indians doubled in the first contest, running his string to 54. Schang's homer came with the bases filled Detroit and Chicago battled five innings to a scoreless tie before rain ended the game, Collins of Detroit allowing one hit and Edwards of Chicago two. The Senators rallied with two runs in the eighth inning to down Phil- adelphia, 5 to 3. Washington made three double plays and the Athletics two. AMERICAN LEAGUE AME) days been re.
