PIRATE-GIANT SERIES OPENS Battling Youngsters From Pittsburgh Have Chance To Put Giants “Out” By Henry Farrell, (V. P. Staff Corernpondent) Ne wYork, Aug, 10. — Pittsburgh's battling Pirates have the first real chanee ot the season to land a finishing punch on the whiskers of the New York Giants in a series of four games starting in Pittsburgh today. It is the first real "crucial series" of the season, and it may have to do with the final result of the National League pennant race. John McGraw has been waiting for the Pirates to crack on the theory thaf too many vital spots on the team are occupied by tender youths and that they would blow up when it came to the hard days of August. There has been no indication of a tendency to blow up of the Pittsburgh youngsters, and they have been playing such consistently good baseball x that they go Into this important series with a lead of 4*6 games. Whenever the Giants and Pirates get together in one of these crucial series, their memory turns to that tragic trip two years ago when the Pirates came into a final series with the Giants with a big lead and were dropped in five straight games by the Giants.

The Pirates were criticised then for showing something that looked like a weak heart, but the club that is leading the league this year seems to have plenty of courage. In the series last week with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds, the champion Giants looked as if they had fallen to the depth of a total collapse. The team lost six out of seven games and almost lost possession of second place. The Reds are only 2% games behind the Giants and if McGraw’s team continues its poor playing in Pittsburgh, the Reds expect to move up into the contending position. - DePaolo Cancels Race In Italy, September 6 Since the world's championship automobile race scheduled at Monza, Italy. September 6, between Antoine Asvai i. uce of the Kuropeun pilot,;, and Pete DaPaolo, assured winner of the Ameircan championship, has been halted by the untimely death of Ascari on July 26, DePaolo will remain in the United States to drive his Duesenberg to further laurels and add to his standing on this side of the water. The Duesenberg reputation in the Italian Grand Prix, however, will be safeguarded by Tommy .Milton and Peter Kreis who are now on their way for the sunny shores of Italy. Milton, with Mrs. Milton. Jimmy Lee, mechanician, and James McCraken, a companion, was aboard the George Washington when it headed for Cherbourg, France, August Sth. Kreis also left on August 8 on the Colombo, sailing directly to Genoa. He was accompanied by James Kemp and Gene Marsenac, mechanicians. Ascari’s fatal accident came as a real shock to DePaolo who had looked forward to the double pleasure of visiting the land of his parents and competing in the gruelling contest for international supremacy. The diminutive Duesenberg pilot had received several cables from Ascari suggesting a world's championship tilt but it was after the Grand Prix at Spa, Belgium on June 28, that Ascari cabled a direct challenge to De Paolo, which was accepted.

After permission of the officials of | the Automobile Association of America had been obtained. DePaolo perfected arrangements to make the trip. It was then that Milton and Kreis were selected to become the other members of the Duesenberg team to uphold the honor of America in this Great International Contest. Milton’s wide experience in road racing makes him a favorite in the Hal an Grand Prix. The track at Monza is a treacherous one and the trials , that Milton has had on the dirt will stand him well in hand on September «th. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 4 HOME RUN LEADERS ♦ +♦+♦++++ + ♦ + + + + + Hornsby, Cardinals, 29.
