CORBIN RED SOX AND FALCONS START CITY TITLE SERIES TOMORROW—EDDY-GLOVER POST TEAM AGAIN WINS LEGION CHAMPIONSHIP—NEWMATIC GIRLS BEAT NORTH & JUDD—PARADISE PARK AND BOYS’ CLUB WIN IN BOYS’ LEAGUE NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN STANDING IN NATIONAL Bruins Get An Even Break With Brooklyn Robins— Pirates and Giants Split Twin Bill — Cards and Braves Win One Each — Cincies Win Two From Phillies—Yanks Drop One to White Sox — Mack- men Beat Indians—Tigers Take Two. By the Associated Press Threatening clouds hovering over the National league peak occupied by the hardy Cubs were swiftly away today as the foremost con- tenders pulled out of their first skirmishes of the curernt east-west combat without material change in championship lineup. The National circuit sagged yes- terday under four doubleheaders, the Bruins dashing away with an equal break in Brooklyn while everything was even Stephen with the Pirates and Giants as well as with Cards and the Braves. Chi- cago's hold on first place continued at five games over the Corsairs. Kent Greenfleld handed out only a pair of singles as Boston took the world champs into camp in the first part of a twin program by 6 to 1 but behind Pitcher Sherdel the Cards made off with the afterpiece by the same score. Cincinnati bumped the Phillies off twice by 5 to 3 in ten innings and 1 to 0, Red Lucas holding Philadel- phia to five hits in the shutout. Blankenship staved off a squelch- ing for the White Sox by defeating the Yanks in the fourth and final clash of the series by 3 to 2. Lou | Gehrig broke loose with home run number 39 in the ninth, his first in ten days, giving him a jump of one on Babe Ruth. | Rube Walberg came through with | a timely single in the eighth inning | to drive in two runners for a 5 to 3 Philadelphia triumph over the In- | dians, making it four out of five for the Athletics, Walberg fanned seven batters.

The Sox stand to date with an average of while the Fal- cons have an average of .286.
