PIRATES ARE ANOTHER HALF GAME BEHIND CUBS Chicago Divides Double Bill With Boston — Brooklyn Downs Pittsburgh—Cards Trim Phillies In 12 In-| nings—Giants Laced By Cincinnati — Tigers Slam Senators Twice—Yanks Score Win Over Indians— Browns Swamp Red Sox—Athletics Beat White Sox Umplres—Gelsel, and Tiine—1:54, By the Amociated Press. Naliin The Pittsburgh Pirates were a half game further behind the Chica- go Cubs today in the three-cornered fight for leadership of the National league. While the McCarthy Brulns were | dividing a double-header at Boston yesterday the Pirates suffered an| 11 inning reverse at the hands of Brooklyn, 2-1. The world's cham- plon Cardinals traveled 12 torrid in- nings to beat Philadelphia, -7, and gain on the leaders from thelr third place seat in the merry-go-round. “Kiki"” Cuyler's error at Brooklyn prevented the Buccaneers from mak- ing any headway. The Pirate out- fielder allowed Partridge's single to get away from him and the runner went all the way round on the mis- play. Boston pounded three Cub pitch- ers for 18 hits in the first game for a 6-3 vnctory, but Charlie Root chalked up his sixteenth win of the year in the second, 4-1. The Giants appeared sluggish in the hottest weather of the year at New York, and Cincinnati gave them & 11-3 beating. McGraw's club gave one of its worst performances of the season, committing six errors and failing to execute numerous plays by slow thinking. ‘Washington's ambitious campaign for a hold on second place in the American league race suffered a rude jolt when the Detroit Tigers set h'\ck the Senators twice, 7-3 and 13 Two Detroit and three \\':\shln"mn pitchers were used in the first game and Detroit outslugged Bucky Har- ris’ outfit In the nightcap. Babe Ruth's four hits in as many times at bat were instrumental in the Yankee's 5-3 victory over the Indians. Lou Gehrig went hitless in three trips to the plate. George Sisler went on another rampage at St. Louis and his four hits, including a double and a triple, assisted in the Browns’ 14-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. Sisler got four hits the day previous and now has collected eight hits in as many suc- cessive times at bat. Boston has nct won a game from the Browns this year. The Philadelphia Athletics bunch- ed hits oft Ted Lyons and defeated Chicago, 7-5. Chicago admirers of Edale Collins pregented the’ former Chicago manager with an automo- bile.

It was a hard fought battle all the way, the losers tying the score in"the sixth after the win- ners had a lead of 9 to 1 in the fourth. Morey started pitching for the winners and worked well until the fifth when the Colliers got to him for four hits which, coupled with a hit batsman, gave them four runs. Klopp went into the box after this rally, which was completed before a man was retired, and he stemmed the tide without further scoring dur- ing the inning. Dumin was the victlm of ragged support by his teammates in the first inning when the winners counted seven times. Three of the runs were scored when ToczKa let an easy fly get away from him with the bases full which allowed three runs to score and the batter to reach third. Klopp did some splendid pitching. fanning ten batters to five of whom I he gave the bench ball in the last { two innings. A home run by Fink in the seventh inning was one of the long- est hits in the park this season. The summary: COLLIERS AB. Haber, cf .. Tocaky, 1t ... Kloskoiwali,’ 1 1.

To herald his many would occasion no gr for fandom is familiar with many. remarkable pitching feats of | perhaps the most popular ball player that ever graced the game. Therefore, to write of unexpected reverses suffered by Johnson would create far greater interest among| the fans. To do this, one must go | back to the scason of 1914. In 1912 and 1913 Johnson heen practically unbeatable. He had won 32 and lost 12 in 1912, while the following year he turned in the phenomenal record of 36 wins and only seven defeats. When the 1914 scason rolled around, Johnson was considered so | effective by opposing managers that | it was regarded as bad judgment to waste a first-string pitcher against the Washington ace. Figuring the odds all against a victory, rival pilots made it a point | to start a promising rookie or second-stringer against Johnson and save their s Walter Johnson managed to win | 28 games and lose only 13 in 1914, | yet in many respects he suffered any number of unexpected reverses at the hands of some comparatively un- known pitcher. On 25 occasions in pitchers or second-stringers faced Johnson. Eleven defeats resulted because the rookies turned in some fine pitching. Johnson says it was| the most unusual, but not altogether pleasant, year of his career. The success of rookie pitchers In bealing Johnson on 11 occasions in 1914 kept Johnson from his higzest year, as he defeats.

After three rounds of lethargic sparring Paulino brought a right hand blow on a direct line from his knees to the giant negro's chin and Wills rolled to the canvas. He was up at the count of nine, oniy to run into a volley of lefts and rights that put him under the low- er rope, where he lay supported on his elbows while Referee Lou Mag- nolia counted him out. The Spaniard’'s victory availed him nothing insofar as a title chance is concerned. He was drop- ped from Tex Rickard's heavy- weight elimination tournament aft- er Jack Dempsey had refused to engage in more than one prelimi- nary bout leading to a fight with Gene Tunney. While Paulino's victory was not wholly unexpected the manner in which it was attained confused an array of ringside critics, who thought that the Spaniard’s right hand wallop was the least effective in his repertoire. This hand has been broken several times but it brought Wills' career to an abrupt conclusion, 17 years after he set out with so much promise but without success for the hoa\;\\p\gh( diadem, Sam Langford, Baby,” put Wills down for the count years ago, but aside from that setback no fighter had been able to put the crafty black down and keep him down. Wills managed to keep Paulino at bay in the first three rounds hy tying him up as he came in with wild rushes. The negro did not get in ene solid punch, however, and until the spectacular knockont punch it was a tame and uninter- esting exhibition.

The Washington crew will be a strong contender for the championship again this year from appearances of sterday's game. In the other game played, the Y. M. C. A. team showed much power in defeating the Bart- lett team. Champions Win The Washington baseball team, working behind the excellent pitch- ing of Tuczkowskl, hopped off with a win over Smith by the score of 14 to 5 in their chase for the pennant this year. The winners hit timely and executed several snappy plays in the field. The players on the team showed the form that brought them the pennant last year and at the rate they travelled yesterday, they will be in the thick of the fight again this season. Each team got six hits but the Washingtons made the most of their Lingles. Misplays by the Smith team atded the team greatly in its victory. It was in the first five innings that the winners showed their best cards. The Smith team became dangerous in the eighth but their raily was cut short by Tuczkowski who steadied down and retired the side. This was the only inning in which the Washington twirler slowed any signs of weakness. In the other in- nings, he breezed his fast ones past the Smith batters and mixed up his curves in good style. He struck out nine batters. Argosy, Smith twirler, was wild and gave 10 free tickets to first base. He struck out seven. The Washington team went on a hitting spree in the fifth. Four singles paved the way for the scor- ing of seven runs. The first runs were made by Washingten in the second when they got two. Two walks and a long single by Tucz- kowski gave them a lead. Smith came back in the third to score a run without a hit. Lynch was walk- |ed, went to second on a wild pitch and came in on an infield error. Thirteen batsmen stepped to the plate in the fatal fifth &nd all the runs were scored Wwith two out. An error and two successive walks filled the bascs. A long single scored two runs and again the sacks became loaded. Three times with the bases filled, a batter hit one on the nose. Anderson here took up the pitch- ing burden for Smith and he worked nieely, holding the winners without a hit and scoreless. Sapko was the big hitter for the Washiagtons with Lynch doing good work for Smith.

Composed for the most part of midgets, each player carried on a man's work and led by good pitching by Joseph, the team fielded nicely and hit timely. The Bartlett team, showing need of practice in the field, rallied in the last frame Lbut failed to bring the proper punch to tie the score. The Y. M. C. A. scored nine runs in the first four innings before the Bartlett team could get a man around. The “Y" aggrogation got four more in the sixth for a grand total of 13 counters. A rally by Bartlett in the seventh brought in three runs, One more was scored in the eighth and another stirring rally in the last inning scored three more, but the lead gained by the “Y” in the early in« nings was too big to overcome. Joseph, southpaw of the Y’ team, pitched a sweet game which was marred only by 10 walks he allowed. He showed signs of nervousness when men were on the bases, but had the form and the stuff of & promising pitcher. Fans who watch« ed the game predicted that he will be heard from after ths first few games in the league. The “Y" infleld worked to perfec< tion but it was not better than the opposing crew except that it showed more coordination, Havlick played a nifty game at short for the “Y”, while Joseph, with three out of five and Haddings with four out of six were the stars at bat.
