By the As | 0 Major league teams with the best | ) pitching are the ones that are get- | ting the most victorles at this stage | of the pennant races. | Strong everywhere but on the slab, the New York Giants turned away from Cincinnati with only an even break after a four-game split | with the cellar-dwelling Reds, the same time the less highly touted Brooklyn Robins ar king the most of their pitching strength in a | close duel with the world champion Cardinals. Pitching weakness was demon- strated by two teams at once in the closing of the Giants-Red series yes- terday at Cincinnati which went to the Reds by 3 10-9 count. Of nine pitchers who took the mound none ' could stop the hitting—a condition, | however, which the ball fan relishes as it makes for more The game had a ninth and counter rally with oAk gy three runs in the final frame. Tighter hurling was Louis where Brooklyn pit the club half a double h the Cardinals. In the first game Grover Cleveland Alexander demon- strated the champion’s own pitching | strength by granting only eight hits | for am 8 to 0 shutout in which hi ested Peity and McWeeney.

However, one of the halt dozen hits made off Whitehill | was Babe Ruth's 17th homer of th year with none on and another single by the same gentleman who drove in the winning run. The Babe's home run put him ahead of his rec- ord yead, 1921, when he made a total of 59 homers in the season. AMERICAN LEAGUE DETRO] AB. 10 00! . Miller, oslin, H. Rice, Umplres—Dineen ) E aker.
