GIANTS SPLIT ! DOUBLE HEADER WITH PIRATES Cards Lose Two Games; Frankhouse Hurls No-hit Game New York, Aug. 28 — The New York Giants, In hot pursuit of the pace-making Chicago Cubs, gained i no better than an even break with • the Pittsburgh Pirates in two hotly uentested games at the Polo grounds. Blanked 1 to 0 in the opened by the combined four-hit flinging of Lefty Ed Brandt and Mace Brown, the Giants squeezed out a 3-to-2 decision in the second game with i the unexpected aid of a five-hit pitching chore by Al Smith, making his first start in six weeks. . , j The Cubs double header at Bos- ! ton was rained out. The Philies climbed into undisputed possession of sixth place in the National league by taking both j games of a double header from the i drooping Cardinals. The victories, 4 to 1 and 6 to 3, gave the Phils I three in a row over the St. Louis ' club. Fred Frankhouse, an up-and- • down curve-baller who has tossed around the National league for 10 I years without any remarkable suel cess, crashed baseball's hall of i fame with a no-hit no-run pitching ; performance. The 33-year-old member of Brooklyn's lowly Dodgers turned the trick by a 5-to-0 margin against the Cincinnati Reds, although his job was made easy when the game was called after two Reds were out in the eighth inning. His no-hit performance was the eighty-ninth in baseball history. The game was to have been the first game of a double-header, but the downpour cut it short at that point. It was Red Ruffing and Jim Bottomley day at Sportsman's park, but Lou Gehrig stole the show. Iron Horse Lou clouted his twen-ty-ninth homer to start the New York Yankee's scoring and then doubled and carried the winning ' run across himself in the eighth j inning as the world champions nosed out the Browns 4-to-3. Gehrig also had a single for his third hit. Pete Appleton limited the Chicago White Sox to but three hits to ; give the Washington Senators a I 5-to-0 shutout in the second game I of the series. Only two White Sox I reached third base. Appleton walked six batters. Jack Wilson pitched almost airtight baseball, after a shaky start ■as his Boston Red Sox mates pounded out an 8-to-5 victory, ev ening the series with the Detroit ■ Tigers. The Indians regained the .500 i bracket in the American eague with a 5-to-3 victory over the PhiadelI phia Athletics in which Earl Averi ill rifled his thirteenth home run of the season.

Shortly after his disappearance, police found the boy’s bicycle and ci'thing on the bank of the White river but believed it was a “frameup’’ to throw investigators off the trail.
