NATURE PUTS CARDS IN LEAD IN NATIONAL LOOP GHURCHES VICTORS Carey in Brooklyn Uniform Beats Pittsburgh—Cincin-| nati Reds Add Another Thorn to Giants’ Crown— Yankees Nose Out Cleveland — St. Louis Beats| Senators—Mackmen Take Second Straight From Chicago—Tigers Snow Under Boston Red Sox. By th There was a rainbow behind the clouds that poured moistur gallant St. Louis Cardinals and their | visitors, the Boston Braves yester- | day. After struggling vallantly for the past two weeks to oust the Pitts- burgh Pirates from the lead in the National league, the men of Horns- by sat back and watched mother nature—with the aid of Brooklyn— | pure, cf turn the trick for them. Today the |Gerber, ss St. Louis clan is perched on the pin- Glard » - nacle, although the margin that | 0% P - separates it from the Smoketown |w ms, x warriors is less than a point. More distasteful to the Pirates, perhaps, than the loss of first place, was the carefree manner in which |MeN their old feld boss, Max Carey, con- | 3¢} tributed to the downfall. His speed |y and batting power, clothed in an |Go enemy uniform for the first time in [J. M 17 years, enabled Brooklyn to take | [t the first game of a doubleheader, 7 to 2. Max made two clean hits, walked once and scored two runs, and the home town fans roared their approval as the deposed cap- | tain celebrated his first appearanc: with Brooklyn in lusty fashion. He failed to appear in the second Although the Pirates unlimbered their heavy artillery in the second | AW0 UO and hammered rhardt and Wil- | g liams for 10 runs while the opposi- | Jjudg tion gathered but two from the | crooked slants of southpaw Yde, the | |/ damage had been done and the |y Cardinals looked through the rain | Losing r at vislons of their first pennant. Meanwhile the Cincinnati Reds added another thorn to the New York Giants’ crown. With the Me- ‘H!n T Graw aggregation enjoying a 6 to 3 |y, lead in the last of the ninth by vir- |Fotherglll, ture of Kent Greenfield’s excellent | pitching, the Reds came to life and tied the game through the | Glants' mental lapses. They then went out in the tenth and hammer- | ed home the winning marker on| Walker's single, a pass, and Pipp's | ringing double, thus maintaining a position just half a game behind the leaders. Cincinnati has struggled through | 46 innings to win three games. Sat- urday they played the Braves to a|imancy, 2-2 tie in 14 inings and Sunday de- |Gaston, feated Boston In a doubleheader, both contests going to extra frames.
