Associated P thing the restelss air at the peak of the Nationa! league for one whole day unmolested, the St. Louis Cardinals are again taking the dust of the world champion Pirates. Something in their attitude must have peeved Darry Benton, when they went back to work against the Boston Braves yesterd for he flipped a paralyzing brand of ball in the fir » of their dou- bleheader, Wwh removed their temporary Ccrown Only four singles glanc the Cardinal bats while the warriors pliedhold Bill Sherdel now and then for enough to squeeze out a 2 to 1] victory. In the meantime the Pirates were handing Burleigh Grimes, their for- mer spitball nemels from Brooklyn, 2 fine 10 to 1 pasting, the Buccaneer Tuns came in fives during the fourth and fifth innings, the first group from Burleigh and the second from Rube Ehrhardt and Lee Williams. Ray Kremer registered his four- teenth victory of the season for the Pirates and Max Carey, former Buc- canneer captain, could do nothing in his second appearance in Hrool\:‘vn toggery to mar the occasion. The victory admitted the Pirates to first place again. Although St. Louis managed nose out a 6 to 5 victory over the Braves in the second half of the twin bill, they could do no better than climb back into second place | tie with Cincinnati. Reds were running their string of wins to ten by defeating the Giants again, 4 to 3. Misplays by Kelly and Terry made the Giants' sixth consecutive loss possible. Jack Scott held the Redmen to six hits. Two passed balls by Bubbles Hargrave and Horace Ford's error also figur- ed prominently in two New York Tuns. j The Chicago Cubs took a pair of s 9.to 4 and 9 to 0 from the tallend Phillics. Charlie Root and Sheriff Blake turned in sparkling performances allowing only six and seven hits respectively, “Hack” Wil- son got behind one in the first game for his nineteenth homer of the sea- son while Gabby Hartnett caromed two into the far reaches in the sec- ond contest. Rain stopped all but one contest in the American league. Rookie Crowder held St. Louis to three hits until the seventh and Washington beat back the Browns, 9 to 6. The Senators had an easy time with the offerings of Ernie Nevers of Leland Stanford football fame. AMERICAN LEAGUE LOUIS AB. R By the After bre i from to game: st ST. . A it W . Bennett, H.
