By the Assoclated Press. Sensational spurts by the Cubs and Pirates have added spice to fhe National league pennant race just when it began to apear as though the St. Louis Cardinals were going to make it a one club affair, some- what similar to the situation in the American league where the New York Yankees have distanced the field. The Cubs and Pirates each re- corded their eighth successive vic- tory yesterday, with the Phils and the Boston Braves as their victims. "The Cubs up.et the Phils 5 to 3. only because Clyde Beck, usually weak with the stick, clubbed a home run in the fifth inning with the bases filled. Jimmy Ring allowed only five hits, but that fourply clout of Beck’ spelled defeat for him. Charlie Root. bombarded for three runs in the third, held the Phils in check there after. The victory hoosted the Cubs into second lace in the standing and marked the Quakers' tenth succes- sive defeat. The Pirates necded to be on their toes the whole way against the S Braves before they cked out a 7 to | 6 decision. Ired Fussell, young southaw, relieved Carmen Hill in the ninth with none out and a man on base and got out of the jam without a run being scored on him. It was the Braves' ninth straight defeat and their 32nd in their last 40 gamc The Corsairs continued their heavy | slugging of the last week or so get- | ting 14 safe hits. Meanwhile the Cardinals gained | an even break with the Brooklyn Dodgers by taking the last game of | a four game series, 7 to 1. Dazzy Vance was removed from the box, after the Cards had scored five runs on nine huts in tl.: first five innings. Jess Haines pitched a game for the league leade over their closest rivals, now stands at four games. Southpaw Bill Walker was knock: ed out of the box in the first in- ning as the Cincinnati Reds salvaged one game out of the series with the New York Glants, 5 to 4. Walker way removed after th. Reds scored four times in the first frame. Vic Aldridge took up the burden and | held the Reds scorcless until he was removed in turn for a pinch hitter. The Reds' fifth and deciding run was scored oft Lefty Iaulkner. Adolf Luque was a puzzle to the Giants, The Boston Red Sox came out of a slump that had carried them into the American league cellar by stop- ping the Chicago White Sox's streak 9 to 6. A six run rally in the first inning was a handicap the White 8ox couldn't quite overcome. | Detroit fell into the place post by bowing before the fast ball prowess of Bob Grove, Athletics’ southpaw | ace, who turned in an casy 6 to 2 triumph. Grove fanned eight Tigers while Ty Cobb, playing against his | old teammates, got two singles, a double, drew a pass and scored three runs, Al Shealy pitched the New York Yanke: to their fifth straight vic- tory over the Cleveland Indians 4 to 2, and contributed a home run 1o his own causc.

Several of these verged on the sensational. Salak also did some splendid work around the far corner for the win- |ners and made two beautiful stops. The better of these was on a play {when he was unable to get a man |out but it prevented at least two runs rrom scoring. This occurred in the sixth inning with men on first and second with two out.
