With the National league leader- ship at stake Chicago invaded Pitts- burgh today, bent on adding to a seven game winning streak. | The Cubs have been coming along at a sensational clip. They establish- | d a season record of 12 consecutive | victories, were stopped by Philadel- | phia and then faltered badly in a series at St. Louis. Their present spurt includes series victories over | the Cardinals and Reds, and by winning today they can top Pitts- burgh by one point. Crippled by injuries, Donie Bush's Pirates have been able, neverthel i to keep a step ahead of the Chicago challenge. After the Cubs had sta ed the skids under St. Louis t Pirates added to O'Farrell’'s wo with a clean sweep in three games at Pittsburgh. Yesterday's actlvity in tlonal league was marked by the Phillies’ rise to sixth place. The team took a double header from the Boston Braves, 6-4 and 5-3. A Boston had hammered Tony Kauf- man out of the box in the first in- ning of the opener, “Dutch” Ulrich stepped in and blanked Bancroft's battlers the rest of the way.

Burritts American eLgion Y. M. C. A, Laurels The Colliers A. C. baseball team won its second vietory in the Junior City league last night when it de- feated the Laurel A. C. 15 to 9 in a free hitting game staged at Walnut Hill park. Light showers fell inter- mittently through the game but these did not dampen the spirits of the players on both teams. Both teams hit the ball hard but | loose playing on the part of the| Laurels gave the Colliers more op- | portunities to score. The pitchers on both teams worked nicely and were it not that none of them received perfect support the scores would have been very low. The wet grasgyin the outfield made the footing for the outfielders precarious and this allowed many hits that would have otherwise gone for singles, to pass by for three bases and even a home run. The Colliers got away with a big | jump on their opponents in the first inning. Four hits, one triple, two walks, a hit batsman- and an error allowed them to score eight runs before they were retired. The Laurels tried to duplicate the per- formance but the best they could do was to score threec runs in the first frame. As the game went on, the Colliers scored time and again while the Laurels got men on bases only a few times. The Colliers scored one in the third and three in fourth and one cach in the sixth, seventh and ninth, The Laurels scored three in the fourth and seemed fair to be on their way to tie the score. Another came in the fifth but a rally in this frame was nipped. Another rally in the seventh was killed by a double play aftar the losers had scored an- other. A belated attempt to do something resulted in a single count- er in the la8t inning, but this didn’t help towards tying the score, Pierkowski, Skonieczny, Haber and Marecinek were the heavy stick- ers for the Colliers while Damato BHRroo 9 L4 |and Curlyle bore off the honors for the Laurels.

The two teams are tied for second place and the win- ner of the contest will go into a tie for first place with the P. & F. Cor- bin outfit which is sole occupant of the leading berth-in the loop. Both teams are primed tor a hard battle because of the fact that the players helieve that tonight's con- test is the critical one of the league play. Both the Landers ana Stanley Works teams have many backers who believe that they are due to cop the league championship. The Landers team woa the covet- ed pennant last season and, al- though not at the top this year so far, the Universals are golng to- make a determined drive to get into the saddle and once there, they will be a hard bunch to dislodge.
