Day by day the pennant race in| the National league is getting tight- | er and tighter. | Mea The Boston Braves, mnotorious | S hope wreckers of championship by pirants, yesterday drubbed the pace | . setting Chicago Cubs for the third | x time in succession, and while the W New York Giants and the Pitts- | 1! burgh Pirates were idle the St. Louis Cardinals were pulling up to withi one game of second place. | The Cubs had a lead of only two and one-half games today and a few more reverses would throw the fir: division situation into a jumble that | might not be straightened out until the very last games of the season. Yesterday the usually reliable Cub @etense cracked right at the cruclal moment. Three errors were com- |C0 mitted in rapid succession and were tollowed by a trio of clean hits. Bos- ton came out on top of a 5-3 score. |C. Ed Brown, Boston outflelder, set a National league record when he| played in his 534th successive game. Chick Hatey’s home run in the second inning was the only score made in the St. Louis-Philadelphia contest. Ulrich and Haines hooked up in a pitchers’ battle, and Haines |Tunneficld, ss won his 20th victory of the season. | "™ 2! He has been defeated only seven times. The Glants and Brooklyn were en- Joying a baseball vacation that is to | . last four days. The Cincinnati Reds || likewise were idle. The Cleveland Indians made it three in a row by trimming the New York Yankees, 9-4 Babe Ruth slugged his 40th home run of the year and became one up on Gehrig, who went hitless. I: was the first time this year any team had made a clean sweep of a series against the Yanks. ¥ 2 The Detroit Tigers, meanwhile, & — ran thelr winning streak to 13| NATIONAL LEAGUE games. Moriarty's aggregation won Aan both ends of a double header from . R H Washington and took a strong grip | & 1 on second place in the standing. y Scores were 4-2 and 7-3. Heilmann and McManus hit home runs off St Walter Johnson in the second game. Ted Lyons pitched masterful ball against Philadelphia and the Chica- cago White Sox trimmed the Mack-| men, 6-3. Lyons eased up in the eighth, but otherwise was in com- plete control in the pinches. T Cobb was the hitting star with two | doubles, a single and a walk in four | trips to the plate. | The Boston Red Sox and the St.| Louis Browns were idle. AMERICAN LEAGUE NEW YORK AB.

Ithough the Meriden department team has boasted loud and long that it will take the two games this year, Manager Tom Dolan and Captain Paddy O'Mara of the local con- tingent are confidently expecting to hand the Silver City crew the worst pair of lacing it has ever received at the hands of an opposing baseball aggregation. Last year the two teams split the series, Meriden winning the sec- ond game on its home grounds after New Britain had copped the first in this city. Billy Kline, mainstay of the Meri- den pitching force will again oppose the New Britain contingent while Manager Tom Dolan will select either Slim Politls or Tommy Blanchard to work for the local club. Neither lineup has been definitely settled but the same faces that battled last year will most likely be seen on the teams again this year. Padd O'Mara, Tommy Feeney. Clarance Kumm, Pete Cabelus and | others arve out for the team and they are showing better form than ever. Meriden's crew will include Ray Cossette, Kelly, Wicox, Billy Boldt and Je McGrath. A large crowd of rooters is plan- ning to accompany the te to Meriden and one of the largest crowds on record is expected to watch the game. The contest will start at 3 o'clock.

A .... 0 .000 The American Legion baseball team which took state honors in the American Legion in Danbury last Friday afternoon, came back home last night to hand the Laurels a_neat lacing in a Junior City League contest by the score of 13 to 3. The game was a dreary affair with all the celebrating being done on the side of the American Legion team. The game had to be called at the end of the sixth inning be- cause of darkness. From the very start when the Leglon scored four runs, it was a walkaway. The Laurels were in poor form, their pitcher was wild and they gave little opposition to | the team that will represent the state in the Legion Intersectional tournament. It was only in the fifth and sixth innings that the Laurels were able to do any scoring. In the fifth they got one run on a single by Potts and successive errors by Zujko and Zaleski. They got two more in the sixth on a walk, a single and a dou- ble. The Legion started things right off the hop in the first and scorad four runs. In the third the team got three more. Four more clattered across the plate in the fourth, one in the fifth and four in the sixth. The legion team as .a whole | played nice baseball but the Laurels | had five costly errors that gave the Legion team runs. “Lefty” | Cohen was fn rare form during the | game and he allowed only four hits hesldes striking out seven and walk- ing only three.

After the first batter had ground- | ed out in the opening frame, Neb- bala fanned the next 11 batters to face him. In the second ihning Capo- dice, pitching for the losers fanned three men, which accounted for 11 consecutive strikeouts in the second inning and the first half of the | third. The first scoring came third inning when counted three times. with a double down foul line. Curyle was hit by a! pitched ball, after Sartinski had singled and the bases were loaded. Nedbala then stepped to the plate and slammed the first pitch to deep center scoring the three runners and stopping at third himself. His mates were unable to score him, however. In the fourth the losers pushed two runs over on hits by Todzia. Skonieczny and Kowalczyk and a | sacrifice fly by Kaczynski. In the sixth they tied the score on a double by Skonieczny which was followed in the the winners Zujko opened | the rightfield ! Nedbala again came into the lime- light in the seventh when he hit an- | other triple which scored Komoins, | who had doubled, and Curylo who | had walked. He scored a moment | later when Markowitz singled. Curylo was not given credit for a time at bat, although he scored two runs, because he walked three times and was hit by a pitched ball in his out nine. He was master of the situ- ation at all times and the care with which he delivered every pitch showed that both he and his mates were dead in earnest about winning the pennant this year. Anderson in the box but with a makeshift team behind them, they couldn’t be very effective. The Paradise swatters got to both for 14 hits and piled up 16 runs, all of which, however, did not come in through solid hitting. Leose fielding by the Smith team gave the Parks plenty of opportunities to score and hits came just at the right time. The winners started off in the | tirst frame by scoring seven runs. LThey followed in the third with four more. Again in the sixth they got three and ended up the scoring in the seventh with two. Smith didn’t score until the fifth when Schubert came home when Flood threw wildly to third to get him. The losers got another in the seventh on an error at first base and a single. Still another was scored in the eighth on three errors but one run didn't look very big in the game. Miller hit hard for the winners while Schubert did good stickwork for the losers. Schmarr's pitching was the outstanding fea- ture of the game.
