Stock-Taking Shows Yanks and Cards Have Little Chance to Retain Pen nantsJuly. 4th Leaders Traditional Winners. By HERBERT W. BARKER Associated Press Sport, Writer The Fourth of July, time-honored point for taking pennant sotindlnns, la close at hatid and if baseball tradition holds true neither the New York Yankee nor the St. I.o ul 8 Cardinals will repeat their major league championship vlcto ries of last year. Ilaseball tradition has It that the leaders on July 4 are the pennant winners of late Heptemher. There have been exceptions to this rule, but they have been surprisingly few and far between. As tbe races now stand neither the Yankees nor the Cardinals can reach the top of their respective leagues by July 4. The Yankees languish In third place In the American league, nine full games back of the league-leading Phila delphia Athletics. The Cardinals trail the Chicago Cubs, pace setters of the National circuit, by five games. Whatever happens between now and Independence day, the Athlet ics cannot be ousted from the American league lead. The Cubs hold on first place in the National league is not secure, l)onle HuhIi's Pittsburgh 1'lrates trailing by only half a game. The National league situation re mained in status quo yesterday as the Cubs and Cardinals, meeting in the league's only battle, struggled to a 11-11 deadlock called at the end of the Myth Inning to allow the Cardinals to grab a train for Pitts burgh. Six pitchers to give Ihem their official title saw service ip the shortened fray and among them granted Vs safeties. Kiggs Stephenson, Cub outfielder, was the balling star of tbe day. tie crashed out two home runs and double and drove lt seven runs. in the American league, the Yankees' barely escaped dropping back a little further in tbe race. Kenny Paschad's pinch home run with Koenlg on base in tbe seventh gave the champiions a 3 to-2 ver dict over the Boston Red Sox. Paschal's homer enabled the Yanks to share the spell that Billy Bayne had woven over them this season. Hayoe already had Deaten tbe champions twice and seemed to be well on the way to a third victory when Paschal came through. Herb Pennock was given credit for the victory, although he was out of the game when the winning runs were scored. Paschal being a pinch batsman for him.

IN SPLIT SEASON SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July i (IP) With the San Francisco Mis sion Reds, champions, of the first half of the' 1929 season as a result of the Inaugural of the spilt sea son by directors of ' the Pacific Coast league here yesterday, the eight clubs were scheduled to re sume their series play today for second half honors. The directors voted a bonus of 110.000 to. be appropriated from the league treasury, a major part or which will be offered for a cham pionship playoff series, and the re mainder of which will be distrib uted among the next three high clubs. Wade Killlfer's Mission Reds fin ished the first 14 weeks of the 28- week season four games ahead of the second place San Francisco Seals. With clean slates, and on an equal footing, the teams were scheduled today to meet as fol lows: Mission Reds at Oakland, Seattle at San Francisco against the Seals, Hollywood at Sacramento and Port land at Los Angeles. Lack of attendance at games this year brought the directors to adopt the split season after they bad voted It down last winter. The spilt season was tried last- year with apparent success as Indicated by increased gate receipts. Unofficial figures credit ' the league with being 200,000 paid ad missions behind the figures of last season. However, last year proved to be a bonanza for most of the clubs, principally San Francisco, Sacramento and Hollywood. . 1 Spray now for , Spider Mites S-W Summer-Mulsion a sure control MANY orchards in the Valley are already infested with Red Spider. This subtle pest is causing the loss of thousands of dollars annually. Yet many growers fail to appreciate the serious injury caused by these mites. Spider Mites are dangerous because they reduce the chlorophyll (green coloring matter) in the foliage, causing the leaves to turn yellow. Lack of chlorophyll in the foliage restricts digestion of the sap, causing fruit to become stunted and undcrcolored. Spider Mite injury also reduces the set of fruit buds for the next year's crop and weakens the vitality of the tree. Sherwin-Williams Summer-Mulsion is a positive control for Spider Mites, with absolute safety to fruit and foliage. Kill these pests NOW and insure the normal development of your fruit as well as the set of fruit buds for the next year's crop. Applied with Arsenate sprays, it will control Codling Moth, too. Hore is what Mr. Leeman Bridges of Wenatchee, Washington, writes: "Your Summer Mulsion was applied when it was over 90 degrees in the shade and it did not burn any fruit or foliage. I used V2 solution for Brown Mite, and it killed all that were hit with the spray. If the solu tion is made it will give good control of Brown Mite." Your nearest dealer has S-W Summer-Mulsion.
