As it sensing that victory was almost ' within her grasp, the speedy boat righted herself after throwing Fluhrer into the water and sped on around the buoy. Seemingly driven by unseen, hands "'Miss Cecelia" cut through the waters in a great arc, bearing down 'upon the boathouse landing.' v ' ' Eludes Pursuit 4 Then, with spectators scram bling to safety,' he little boat veered sharply to port and began a series of great circles, making her way between other craft, elud ing boats that took up the chase for the runtfway and other boats still In the race alike.

Fiillcrton, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. The Brooklyn Robins, who sur prised National league fandom by their splendid showing last season, have had a hard time flnce then trying to live, up to tho predictions made about them. Apparently strengthened by offseason trades, the R)bins were- expected to jump right into the thick of the pennant race, but instead they started off badly and have only recently begun to show what they really can do. Just about two weeks ago, the Robins began to hit their best stride. Since then they have lost only one game and that was a "hard luck" content which went to the St. Louis Cardinals despite Vance's three-hit pitching. And they promptly revenged themselves on the league, leaders by finishing the series with four straight vic tories. . Look Like Champs. The Robins were the ones who looked like champion yesterday as they easily trounced .St. Louis, 10 to 4. Ancient Adolfo Luquo gavo 10 hits and kept them from doing any harm and thus became the seventh Brooklyn pitcher to go the route, in 10 games. ' The defeat cut the Cards' mar gin to one and a half games before the start of a series with the sec-' ond place New York Giants. The New Yorkers clouted the Cincinnati Reds for a. double victory yester day, winding the flnut game, 17 to 5, behind a 21-hit attack and rally ing for four runs in the sixth in ning, to take the second clash 5 to 2. Braves Take One. The Boston Braves completed their conquest of the Chicago Cubs by slamming out a 9 to 1 victory in the first half of a double-header. Wally Berger provided the second game feature as the Braves came from behind to earn a 2-2 tie just before the Sunday 6 o'clock ' law halted tho game. Ho started two double plays from centet4 : field. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia wore idle. , ' ' Tho St. Louis Browns continued their amazing winning streak In the American league by taking two 5 to 4 decisions from the Boston Red Sox. It gave them a record of eight fctraight victories and -11 in their last 12 games. A's Increase Marirln. . Philadelphia's Athletl s Increas ed, their margin over Washington to two and a half games by winning two games from Detroit while tbe Senators could get only an even break In two mound duels with the Chicago White Sox. Roy Mahaffey held the Tigers to five hits to win tho first game for the A's, 9 to 1, while George Walberg gavo them only tour to gain a 5 to 1 victory in the second. Al Thomas of Chi cago bested Bob Burke of Wash ington in the opener to win 2 to 1. Kach gave six hits., The Senators used fome Chicago errors for a ptart toward a 3-1 triumph In the second game as Brown and Crow dcr held the Sox to four hits. Pnbe Ruth hits his 17th home nin and Ben Chapman stole his ?Sth bae for the New York Yan Kets, and the combination he)ed err&idcrahty to bring a 9 to 5 vic tory over Cleveland. cityilSround hop skotch play gets under way The ladder horseshoe tournament being conducted at the Medford playground will continue for the next two weeks.
