Three Games Ahead of Chicago Yankees Win 9 to 3. iv Hy Hugh H. Fuller to n Ir, (Associated Press 8 porta Writer) The Brooklyn Robins and New York Giants have done each other sovcral ' good turns this season by beating their rivals from Chicago and St. Louis at timely moments. But when they go against each other, whatover lrlcndiy feeling they may havo is for ' gotten, particularly when .the Giants aro trying to reach Brooklyn's place at tho top of the National league. Thero was great rejoicing in Plat- bush yesterday when the Robins camo out ahead of their rivals from tho other side of tho East river by a 1 to 0 score in ono of the season's warmest pitching duels. For 8 in nings, tho teams battlo without a scoro with Carl Hubbeil holding a slight edge over DaKtty Vance, who had not won a game or even finished ono since July 14. But Babe Her man opened, the Robin halt of tho , ninth with a hit that he stretched Into a double by brilliant baso run ning. Moore sacrificed him to third and the Giant board of strategy or dered tho move of walking Wright and Blssunctte to fill tho bosei. Tho plan failed and Brooklyn won the gamo when Hubbeil continued to pitch balls and walked Flowers also to force in the game's only run. ., Itotiln Lead ft (lamps pespltit the report that tho Robins would rather, boat the Giants than win the pennant, they can get a groat deal of satisfaction from today's standing, for the victory put them tlireo games ahead of Chicago. The Cub machine went to pieces after sailing along ahead of Pittsburgh Pirates for seven innings, and Pitts burgh scored eight runs In the eighth for .fi 1! to B triumph, Al Bool led tho victors by contributing his fourth homo run of the three-game series to the rally while Hark Wilson hit his 35th of. the. year for the Cubs. . The St. Louis Cardinals Improved their fourth-place position by win ,ntng two games from Cincinnati, shamming out a total of 27 hits to y win bycorc of U and 6 and 0 to 3. , tho Phillies, after losing twelve twin bills this season and dividing a few more, won their first double .header of the season, beating the Bos (tbn Braves. 11, to & and 4 to 1. I ;. . Yanks Win J The theme of rivalry between THcighbors was carried out In the 'American league by the New York , jfankcus and the Philadelphia Ath 1 Ictlcfl, with the Yanks slugging a six run uprising in the eighth Inning to win by a 0 to 3 count. Before this assuult on Rube Walberg. the game had been close with Babe Ruth's for tieth homer of the year as the one big clout. But Tony Laxzerl put the homer Into the background when ho settled the argument with a triple with the bases full. f The Boston Red Sox finally broke their losing streak In their second lame against Washington with a 7 ,io 1 triumph after the Senators had carried it to eleven games by winning the first. 11 to a. Walto Hoyt also pitched a good game, slopping all of tho Chicago White Sox but Carl Reynolds to give Detroit a 4 to 3 victory. The St. y i ast Golor id ir Home-Owned Store ;'. Louis Browns continued their recent streak of slugging to place' them selves only a game and one-half be hind Chicago. They pounded four Cleveland pitchers for 18 hits to de feat tho Indians, 14 to 0.

Cioiilrt (Associated Press Sports Editor) It's an old baseball axiom that if "the heat doesn't get 'em by the end of July, the strain will." The strain has begun to telr cn some of the major league clubs that got off to sensational starts. Hot weather Bicns now point to a repeti tion of the 1029 world's series be tween the Athletics and Cubs. Neither has an easy road to travel for the rest of the season, nor any such-advantage as they enjoyed at this time last year Each championship club, however, has displayed sufficient steadiness, despite difficulties, to warrant reten tion bb favorites. ,The A' overhauled Washington as soon as Connie Muck mustered his regulars in full formation. Jimmy Foxx finally got the runge and has stepped up to share the slugging duties with Cochrane and Simmons. Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg com bine enough pitching class to keep the race safe for Philadelphia. Tho Cubs plunged into a shower of bimehlts and pop-bottles in super heated Brooklyn, shooting the Hob Ins down on the wing. It's a ques tion whether the Robins will stay down. As Is tho case with the A's, the Cubs have at least three good rea sons for doing things handsomely Stephenson, Cuylcr and Wilson at bat Hoot. Malone and Bush cm the mound. Gabby.
