OF ABILITY AWAY
FROM HOME PARK
(By the Associated Press)
Tho Cuba are on a great advon
lure a quest through, the east In
an effort to prove that they roally
can win n ball game away from
home. The Uruins of 1928 lost tho
pennant for two reasons; Their
failure when away from Wrlglev
field and their luabllUy to .-win.
from the Phillies late, in the sea-;
son. at homo or abroad. In open
ing 'their invasion at Baker bowl
today, tho' inert of McCarthy haro
an opportunity to begin piling up
revenge on both old scoros.
The last few days of tho Cubs
in intra-sectional warfare in the
west were anything but pleasant
for Profossor McCarthy. After tak
ing two beatings In throe days at
Cincinnati, his charges closed their
stay thoro yesterday by fiddling
through 13 innings of baseball in
a game eventually called with the
score tied at 4 to 4 to permit the
Cubs to start their trek eastward
on schedule. The defense ierked
up, but the hitting was not there.
The Cardinals and the Pirates
also engagod in a 4-to-4 tie game
over the 13-lnnlng route yesterday
as rain sweut out all National
league competition in the east, wee
Willie Sherdel went tho distance
againBt Carmen Hill, Steve Swe
tonic and Irvin Bramo.
The Athletics featured an. abbre
viated campaign In the American
league by stampeding tho Boston
Rod Sox by 24 to 6 at Fenway park
In a game, which netted tho A's 29
hits, good for 44 bases. It was not
a record, but was so close to one
that fanatics woro sent scurrying
into tho books.
Al Simmons capped the Athletic
attack with five hits and lost his
chance to get a sixth when he let
a ' third strike float by , in tho
eighth. Ono of Als drives was
a homer. '-,'' ' ' V
While all of this comniotlou was
churning up the' Fenway,, the
Browns were quietly opening their
invasion of Cleveland by' Bhading
the. Indians, 4 to 3, behind the
smart Ditching of Alvln Crowder.
That one counts for just as much
in the standing of the clubs as
the Athletic orgy at Boston, and
serves to keep the Browns in the
ft he smoke
