PIRATES TAKE ELEVEN IN ROW Pittsburgh Only Two Games Behind Leading Giants New York. July 11—(U.R>—Pittaburgh's Pirates, whose mid-season comeback has the baseball world taking notice, sought their 12th straight victory and the season’s longest winning streak against the Chicago Cubs today. Pie Traynor's unpredictable corsairs, who year In and year out start out like a ball of fire and fold up like a punctured accordion when the going gets tough, have since May 22 lifted themselves from fifth to second place in the National league two games behind the leading New York Giants. The Buccaneers started the season with their usual flash, winning seven in a row. They dropped six out of their next seven. The 18-2 shellacking they took from the Giants on May 22 convinced owner Bill Benswanger and Traynor that the time had come for drastic action. They decided that if the veteran stars couldn't win. they would experiment with the youngsters. Since that day the Pirates have been playing ball at a .718 clip, winning 28 out of their last 39 games. Eighteen of these victories have been rung up in their last 21 starts. Pittsburgh gained a half-game yesterday when they took a doubleheader from the‘St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 and 4-3. Cy Blanton pitched : eight hit hall to win the opener I and Russ Bauers, although relieved I in the seventh, triumphed in the second. The Giants won. 5-2, over the Boston Bees as Cliff Melton held the Reantown batsmen to eight hits. Hank Lieber blasted two home runs, the only ones hit in the league yesterday, to drive in four Giant runs. Johnny Vander Meer got revenge on the Chicago Cubs for breaking his winning streak a week ago. He pitched the Cincinnati Reds to a 5- victory. He doled out four hits, and the Cubs' only run was unearned. It was his 11th win against three defeats this year. Brooklyn and Philadelphia split a pair, the Dodgers taking the first 6- and the Phillies coming back for a 5-3 triumph in the second. In the American league the Cleveland Indians increased their lead to two games over the NewYork Yankees by nosing the St. Louis Browns 8-7 after Billy Sullivan's pinch home run in the ninth ' for the Browns had tied the score 7- Jeff Heath hit the game win- I ning single, bringing Jimmy Webb 1 home in the lust half of the ninth. < The Yankees subcumbed to the i effective pitching of Lefty Qrove ; and bowed to the Boston Red Sox 6-4. Grove gave up 11 hits, but he i kept them scattered to score his i 13th victory of the year. The vic- ; tory left Boston only a game and a half out of second place. 1 Washington's Senators took over fourth place, dropping Detroit into . fifth, as they took both ends of their twin bill with the Philadelphia Athletics, 5-2 and 8-7. It took a five run rally in the ninth to pull the last one out of the fire. Detroit’c Tigers were stopped 5-4 by the nine-hit pitching of Chicago’s veteran Ted Lyons. Two of the blows given up by Lyons were circuit smashes by York and Greenberg. Kuhel got one for Chicago. Yesterday's hero: Lefty Grove. Boston Red Sox's veteran pitcher in the twilight of his career, stopped the New York Yankees and scored his 13th victory—the most any major league pitcher has won this year.

Today’s Sport Parade * By Henry McLemore Shawnee on Delaware, Pa., Jyly 11. —(U.R>—Slight in build, shy in manner, soft in speech, Denny Shute is the most feared match play golfer in the world. Blue eyed, with thinning gray hair and a mildness of demeanor that is completely deceiving, Shute's competitive record stamps him as the game's best man-to-man combatant. When the advantage is his he presses it as savagely as a firing squad offices executes the coup de grace. When he is behind, trailing in a match, his eyes narrow, his -heart steels, and, hiding his emotions behind a face as impassi ive as that of a river gambler's, he pursues with a relentless Icij ness that usually breaks down his ' quarry. This week, fresh from a victory over Ralph Guldahl, open champion. Shute seeks his third straight , national P. G. A. championship. I the toughest of all tournaments to win. The prohibitively short odds of 8 to 1, quoted on him by the bookies, show how respected he is in the hand-to-hand grapple that is the P. G. A. Why then—and I ask the phychiatrists so the nation to come to my aid—why then did I. knowing all of this about Shute, challenge him yesterday to a match? And

at twer y-cents a hole! Why did I select ibig gimlet-eyed killer, this man whose veins run ice water and who has a penguin for a heart, to come out and do battle with me? There must be something missing in my mental make-up kit, something loose in my cerebrum, for me to throw down the gauntlet at Shute and not at some golfer who, when playing for serious money like two bits a hole, might possibly choke up. Shute accepted the challenge and. with the air of a man who thinks he has a sttre thing, refused to sell any of his best to Harry Cooper, Gene Sarazen, Frank Walsh. Jug McSpaden, or Byron Nelson who were in the locker room at that time. They chided him on his selfishness and made side remarks about a man who would take candy from a baby. Hurt by these insinuations’ I against my game I determined, as I walked to the first tee, to show Shute that there was one glfer in the world as cold and relentless as he; one golfer as unyielding under pressure, one golfer with just as steely nerves. “You take the honor. Shute,” I said, seeking to get his goat. “It'll probably be the first and last time you'll get it.” Maybe I got his goat but he got his birdie three, which was a bit too good for tny six. I paid hint a quarter and. after biting it to

I see if it were good, he put it in. i his pocket. My brassie second on the next i i hole split the middle —of the rough., ’ Knowing that Shute has a reputa- : tion for matching his opponent's i sht, or even bettering it, I said: “Let's see you tie that one. ‘ icicle." He laid a brassie shot on the green for a birdie. To show him ■ how little being 2 down mattered to me. I picked up in the rough.! flipped him a quarter and. whistling “From Greenland's ley Mountain." teed up and prepared to take the honor, thereby hoping toj nettle him. But he was to busy counting his change to notice me. When I stood on the ninth tee I knew I had lost the first nine, i because I was eight down. My I quarters were running out, and I had reason to suspect that Shute was a man who would not give any i quarter. By dint of a lot of luck Shute won the ninth. As Denny's ball hopped awkwardly int the cup for a birdie 3 I unfortunately sprained two of my ankles, forcing me to quit and robbing me of a chance to make one of the game, uphill, hallies for which I am not known.' In conclusion, let me say this: Shute may or may not win the P. G. A. title fr the third straight time. But take this piece of first I hand information for what it is
