CARDINALS BACK IN FIRST PLACE ■ Sensational League Race Features National League — New York, July 6.—(U.R> —The j National league today embraced Its own little heat wave, and with first division standings changing lalc.ost daily. Hie most torrid flag I chase in years seemed assured. Five dubs are still In the race despite the St. Louis Cardinals and I the Chicago Cults taking most of j the spotlight in their battle for first place. The Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati Reds and New ! York Giknts still have to be reck-'ern-il with, only six and one half games separate the leading Cards i from the fifth place Giants today. Every team in the first division wapped places yesterday. The Cardinals traded places with the Cubs, climbing from second to first 'and the Pirates took over third Hom the Reds who were reduced 'to fourth. Despite losing, the | Giants were In a virtual tie with j Cincinnati, only one percentage point away from the first division. Coming from behind, the Cards scored four runs in the ninth to send the Reds to defeat, 8 to 6, in , the first game, but the night was , a walkaway, 17 to 7. The Cubs, ( meantime, took a 4 to 2 beating , from the Piratys. j I Brooklyn won its first game in six starts. 4 to 2. from the Giants as Frankhouse turned the New Yorkers back with seven hits. The Philadelphia Phillies increased their winning streak to five games with a 7 to 6 decision over the I Boston Bees. i' Jimmy Deshong turned his form- ' l er New York Yankee mates back | with eight hits as the Washington ' Senators batted out a 9 to 3 victory which trimmed a full game j | from th- Yanks’ substantial Amer-, i iean league lead. , Detroit's world champion Tig- | era won their 13th game out of 15 . starts by overwhelming the St. I Louis Browns, 18 to 9, and holding ' second place by one meagre point 'in the percentage columns. The Boston Red Sox, virtually j deadlocked with the Tigers, wal- : loped the Philadelphia Athletics j twice, 16 to 2 and 8 to 2, for their , second double barrel victory in two I days. | Cleveland and Chicago split a twin bill, the Indians taking the ! fitst, 11 io 4 and the White Sox | winning the night cap, 4 to 2. Yesterday's hero: Johnny Whitehead, Chicago White Sox pitciter, who won his own game against the Indians hy hitting a double In the seventh with the bases loaded that drove in two runs — the winning margin. o .lames A.
