The Pirates battered Carl Walsh, Hubbell, Lefty Faulkner, Chester (Do Nichols and Vic Aldridge for 14 hits to make a runaway of the second game. In this collcction were home runs by Grantham and Lloyd Waner, triples by Paul Waner and Hemsle and doubles by Paul Waner, Tr nor and Grantham. The Cincinnati Reds, taking two from the Brooklyn Dodgers, 2 to 0 and 6 to 1, leaped over the idle Cubs into third place and served notice that they are not yet to be counted | out of the race.

Today he should be fat and forty, but he is neither. He is lithe, shm and 43. Jack Britton, former welter- weight champion or the world, has planted the hardest blow on Father Time's jaw that the old man ever felt. Five thousand fight customers got the thrill of their lives the other night when Britton slipped into the ring to face Tony Vaccarelli, a 25- year-old youngster with a world of speed and a punch that is nothing to sneer at. There were lumps in 5,000 throats as the old master stamped in the resin and limbered up his arms for the fight that was either going to send him over the hill to the poor house or put him back on the high road to riches. Britton scored a brilliant victory and a mighty roar went up through the crowd as they realized they Jack again had his foot on the ld- der of fame which he scaled so brilliantly two decades ago. Despite a line of fat around his belt, Brit- ton stepped out and set the pace through the fight with Vaccarelll to win six of the ten rounds and the decision. A Great Comeback Perhaps it was the most thrilling comeback in the world of aport since the day Jim Jeffries vainly tried to beat off the attack of Jack Johnson and went down to the can- vas, a greater fighter in defeat than he had ever been in victory.
