Boston Braves Capture 1 7 -Inning Struggle From Chicago Cubs, 4-3 SINGLES ACROSS Game Is Longest In Maors This .Year Dodgers and Cardinals Both Win. By Judson Bailey (Associate Press Sport Writer) Underneath the sign that says "Braves Field" at the National league ball park in Boston there should be added a line "home of extra-inning ball games." - Marathons disguised as base ball are the specialty of the Braves just as home runs are the trade marlc of the New York Yankees, pitching of the Cln cinnati Reds, speed of the St. Louis Cardinals, etc. For this reason that 17-lnning struggle of the Braves and Chi' cago Cubs yesterday was bound to happen. It wasn't quite as historical as the 2S-lnning 1-1 tie between the Braves and Brooklyn In 1920, the most ex tended game In National league records, or the 20-lnning battle with the Dodgers In 1940 which took five hours and IB minutes to play longest time of game In major league history. But it was the longest game this season and the Braves won 4-3 with a unique finish that made It entirely satisfactory to the Boston fans. The Braves tied the score in the eighth with two runs and after eight more scoreless stanzas they loaded the bases with none out in the 17th on three successive bunts. Then old John Cooney stepped to the plate and rapped a (mart single to right center to finish the fra cas four hours and 17 minutes after it started. Derringer Curbed While this was going on the Brooklyn Dodgers curbed the Cincinnati Reds 8 4 with 13 hits in six innings against Paul Der ringer. The St. Louis Cardinals kept the Dodgers from increasing their National league lead, how ever, by bowling over the Phila delphia Phils 8-1 in night game. Three home runs and Buster Maynard's two-run pinch single In the eighth inniflg gave Carl Hubbell and the New York Giants a 0-9 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates In a twilight game from which Manager Frank Frisch of the Pirates was banished In the fifth Inning. The New York Yankees ex tended their winnlg streak to 10 games and Joe DiMagglo stretched his hitting string to 18 games In an 8-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The Boston Red Sox dropped a 10-inning S-4 decision to Chi cago to let the Yanks slip an other game ahead. Judnlch Homers The St. Louis Browns were held to four hits by Luman Har ris and Phil Marchildon but beat the Philadelphia Athletics 4-3 on Walt Judnich's three-run homer in the first Inning and a roundtripper by Harlond Clift In the second. The Detroit Tigers broke Buck Ncwsom's spell with a 8-4 triumph over the Washington Senators on the five-hit hurling of Hal White. New York, July 22 (IP) Gunder llaegg, Mr. Swish of the Swedish tracks, right now ap parently is as hot as the fires he helps put out. On vacation from his duties as a fireman in the city of Gae vle.

Main and Riverside Rainiers Edge Out BMerS 3 f0 2, on Barrett's 6-Hitler (By the Associated Press) The Seattle Rainiers are far off the baseball form that won them three Pacific Coast league pennants, but they are riding along in third place today in a good spot for a mid-season rally. Losses by San Francisco and San Diego last night helped the. Rainiers into the enviable upper-division spot as Seattle edged out the last-place Port land club, 3 to 2. Ten timely safeties off Syd Cohen, Beaver moundsman, to gether with a six-hit pitching effort by Dick ("Kewpie") Bar rett made the close win for the Rainiers, who played, flawless ball and turned in three double plays. Oakland dumped the Seals, 6 to 1, by clouting Sam Gibson for six hits and all their tallies In the opening frame. Sacramento went 10 Innings to best San Diego, 9 to 4. Los Angeles, leading the second-place Solons by three games, ran amock at Hollywood to blank the Stars 11 to 0 and extend the Angel win streak to 13 games. The Stars probably will be shopping for a new pitcher soon, for Johnny Bittner, their best performing hurler, notified club officials yesterday that he was leaving immediately for Seattle to enlist in the navy.
