ly to stave off challenges of the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit ( Tigers. The last day of the "crucial” series found the Giants and Yankees clinging to first place, but it was possible for lust year's world series rivals, the (‘aids and Tigerw, to gain the lead by nightfall. The Giants' position was the more secure. They wore a game and a half in front. After seeing their lead melt away as a result of a 6-game losing streak, the Giants have turned on the Cardnnd i. ttot k.-tl thorn back to

second place with two defeats, file Cardinals must sweep today's double-header to gain the National league lead. An even break will send the Giants home a game and a half ahead. A clean sweep for the Giants will halt temporarily the Cardinals pennant rush. On the outcome of the single game between the Yankees and Tigers hangs the American league lead. The Yankees held .0004 of ! a percentage point lead over the ' Tigers a>< they began today's 1 | game. ' The Tigers’ drive has seen I them climb all the way up the ■ American league standing until I today they were on the threshold ■ of first place. 1 I Mickey Cochrane twice in sue- ’ cession has come up with winning i pitchers. Vic Sorrell and Alvin I Crowder. Todev he gambled I again on Eldon Anker, the under- ' hand pitcher who hasn't beaten ''the Yankees thio year. Joe Me- , I Carthy's choice to retain first ! place for the Yanks was Johnny Broaca. Behind the heroic hurling of Crowder, the Tigers yesterday battled up to almost even terms I with the Yanks hv scoring a 4-0 I triumph. Jo-Jo White’s homer on j ! the fourth ball pitched—the first ' circuit clout of his major league career- was enough to decide the game, but the Tigers added three more runs off Red Ruffing for good measure. Carl Hubbell stepped into the breach for the Giants and outnitched Dizzy De.-.n to give New York a 4-2 triumph over S'. Louis. The Giants put on a decisive 4run rally in the seventh inning. ■ Olt singled, and Lelber doubled.; Pepper Martin threw Jackson’s I roller into right field — his sis h I error in two days and Ott and | Leiber scored. Danning walked, j ■ Hubbell and Joe Moore singled | and two more runs came in. The threatening spectre of the I Chicago Cubs crept nearer the , I two leaders when Charlie Grimm's ' ' team won its second straight dou- j j ble-header from Brooklyn. 9-3 and I 7-6. The last game went 11 in- < nings and the Cubs had to score two runs in the ninth to tie the count. Then Jimmy O'Dea'o homer won the game in the eleventh. Billy Jurge’s double with the bases loaded and Chuck Klein's . eighteenth homer with a man on base were the vital punches in the first game. Klein drove in the tieing run in the second game. Pittsburgh ran its winning streak to seven straight by defeating the Phillies twice, 8-6 and 4-0. Paul Waner drove in three ! rune in the first game and Woody j Jensen hit a homer in each game. Emmet Nelson won his third ' s'raight major league game by I pitching the Cincinnati Reds to a i 5-4 victory over the Boston Braves i in a night game. Cleveland regained fourth place lin the American league by winning twice from Washington, 10-G and 13-8. The St. Louis Browns defeated the Boston Red Sox, 6-3. anil dropped Joe Cronins team into second division. Yesterday's hero: Carl Hubbell, who bested Dizzy Dean in a pitching duel, to save first place for the Giants as they beat St. Louis. 4-2.

CHICAGO CUBS BACK IN RACE Showing Os Cubs In Rei cent Gaines Enlivens Pennant Race Chicago. July 25,-<U.R>-Two vetJI m ans and a youngster have put ' Chicago’s rampageous Cubs ba< k in the pennant race almost overnight. Three weeks ago the Cubs were trailing the league leading New York Giants by 10% Ranies. To-| day they were only two and one half games behind the Terrynten and only one game TTr.nd the second place St. l>ouis Cardinals. l**Tubs have won 15 out of I s games since they opened their; present home stand July 10. They whipped the Giants four straight and have won four out of five in the current Brooklyn series. What’s j responsible for their showing. No. 1 reason is the gallant comeback of Charley Root, a veteran of 112 seasons with the Cubs. He has I won five straight games during the ; home stay.. Four of his victories | were recorded while pitching re-1 lief. The fifth was registered yesterday when he held Brooklyn scoreless for eight innings and won the opener of a double header. 9
