CUBS BATTLE TO HOLD LEAD New York, Sept. 12.- tlj.P) The Chicago Cubs, staggering under three straight defeats administered by the Brooklyn Robins, today faced loss of the National league lead. Hanging to the top by the slender thread of half a game, the Cubs opened a 4 game series with the last place Phillies at Philadelphia. The St. Louis Cardinals, victors in 9 of their last 10 games, closed, their 4 game series against the New York Giants at the Polo I grounds. The Robins, with a 7 game winning streak, opined a 4-game series against the Reds at Ebbets field. (Tn tlieir last western trip the Rubious dropped five games in a roc to Cincinnati, three by one run. If the Cubs lose today, either or both the Cardinals and Robins can pass th- m, with a double victory for St. Louis and Brooklyn pushing Chicago to third place. The Cubs have lost four straight and 9 out of their last 12 games. Tlieir hitters have bogged-down and their pitching staff has crumpI. <l. Tlie Cubs went 24 consecutive innings before scoring a run in the) Brooklyn series, their trance being broken when Hack Wilson hit his 4Stli home run of the season in the seventh inning of yesterday's game which the Robins won, 2-1. Glen Wright's home run after Herman had walked in the first inning with two men out won the game for the Robins. The Cubs', three best pitchers. Pat Malone, Charley Root and GuyBush were in turn beaten by the Robins, who had lost 14 out of 19 games to Chicago up until Unset ies just closed. The New York Giants, beat n for the second day in succession, after winning the opening game of .‘he series froifl the Cardinals, have finally muffed themselves out of the race. Failure of their hitt- is in the pinch and mental lapses in the eld allowed the Cardinals to win yesterday, 5-4. The Giants bad 13 men left on base and twice had the bases filled only to falter. Bob O'Farrell allowed Sparky Adams to steal second on his unmolested and Allen. Otto and Fritz watched Friuli's pop fly fall for a hit, scoring Adams, in the seventh inning which cost the Giants the game. Chick Hafey’s home run with two on base in the opening inning, how- ver, gave the Cardinals a 3run lead, which the Giants never overcame, although they twice tied the score, 3-3 and 4-4. The rival pitchers for the final game of the series today at the Polo grounds were Carl Hubbell, Giants' southpaw, and Jess Haines. Cardinals right-hander. At Ebbets old Wilbert Robinson bad Ray Moss, who pitched a i-liit game on his last appearance. Bill Clark, and Jumbo Elliott ready. o ' BASEBALL BRIEFS « By United Press The three National League leaders —Chicago, St. Louis and Brooklyn were virtually tied for the lead today as a result of Thursday’s games.
