The Pirates, looking not at all like a championship outfit, blew ; a doubleheader to the Chicago j Cubs yesterday but still are not in Vital danger of losing their . lead. As an American league ob-, server pointed out the Piratesi seem to be the best of a bad lot and can stagger in if necessary. Cincinnati, which seemed on the verge of moving up to challenge \ the Pirates for the lead, received a staggering double defeat from the St. Louis Cardinals which just about ruined the Red’s pennant | hopes. Although the New York Giants are in second place five games behind the Pirates, there doesn t seem to be even a spark of the, championship spirit of the past two years left in the Terrymen. The loss of Carl Hubbell, who will pmdergo an arm operation in Memphis today, was just about the last strow for the Giants. As i for the Cubs, their twin triumph over Pittsburgh yesterday was one more victory than they had scored in the previous week’s play.. So Pittsburgh, staggering and stumbling, careens on toward the National league pennant and a' world series with the New York; Yankees, who yesterday increased their American league lead to 11 games. The Yanks’ double victory over the Athletics. 8-4 and 8-1, further emphasized the utter hopelessness of even a close finish in the American league. The Cubs’ double victory over the Pirates, 6-4 and 6-1. enabled Chicago to move into a third-place tie with Cincinnati, each sevon games behind the leader. Bill Lee, although he had to have a relief in the ninth inning, scored his 15th victory in the opener ad Tex Carleton pitched a seven-hit game to win the nightcap. Phil Cavarretta, replacing Frank Demaree in the Cubs’ outfield, starred in both games. ; The Cardinals trimmed the Reds 7-6, in the 11-inning first game and repeated with a 3- victory in the nightcap. Relief pitcher Joe Casca rella threw one ball to Linos Slaughter with the bases loaded to force in the winning run in the opener. Bill McGee let the Reds down with three hits in the after-; piece. Brooklyn divided with Boston, the Dodgers winning the opener. 6-0. as Fred Fitzsimmons outpitched Jim Turner, and the Bees taking the second game, 9-4, with a 15-hit attack on Posedel and Pressnell. The Phillies slugged out their second straight victory over the Giant. 8-3, pounding Melton Wittig and Coffman for 13 hits. Shortstop Dick Bartell and catcher Bill Atwood engaged in a fist fight. Although rapped for 10 hits Let-, ty Gomez scored his 13th victory as the Yanks won the opener from the A's. Red Ruffing let the A’s down with five hits and contribut-

SEN. TYDINGS I(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ; I ■ i stamp candidate"; charged that | ( small. Maryland office holders are being “intimidated and terrorized." Three hours after he had spoken over a state-wide radio network last night. Lewis answered To Tydings' comparison of Mr. Roosevelt's tactics with those of the re-; construction era. Lewis retorted that his opponent had “treated the president like a carpet bagger"; , that he “has allowed himself to become exercised to the point of frenzy"; that he had "turned" against the new deal after unsuccessfully “lobbying" for a Balti-1 more scrap metal firm whose pur-' chase of 124 obsolete ships had been held up by the department ' of commerce. In his address, which he described as an answer to recent events, Tydings said that Mr. Roosevelt “has invaded Maryland throughout the press.” adding: “Now it is reported that he will Invade Maryland in person to carry on this war against me. “I believe the day will come I when President Roosevelt will | realize that neither he. nor any other executive, federal or state. | should attempt to destroy the independence and usefullness of the other branches of the government.” It has been reported that the president will speak in Baltimore Labor Day in behalf of Lewis, but this has not been confirmed by the president. Continuing his denunciation of "outsiders,” Tydings charged that Lewis had “agreed to permit himself to be used as the instruments of persons who do not live in 1 Maryland; who cannot vote in ' Maryland; who pay no taxes in Maryland: who have no homes in Maryland, but who are determined to dictate the policies of Maryland.” If Lewis is elected, “his vote on any and all questions will be the property of the president of the United States,” he said, and: "It is. I think, entirely fair to say that he has pledged himself, in advance, not to advocate or ■ vote for the views or the wishes of the people of Maryland, but to vote solely and only for the legis- | lation and policies that may be proposed by the chief executive, no matter what may be their im-

port or character." Lewis replied that Tydings had ' forgotten that the “sovereign i voice of Maryland" had spoken in j 1932 and 1936” and was over-1 whelmingly in favor and accord i with Mr. Roosevelt.” “Mr. Tydings forgets,” he ad- ; ded. “that nearly 400,000 Mary- i i landers voted for the president in 1936 —voting for him as friend and . president, not as an alien or an I invader . . . t ‘lf there is anyone who has ig- : noted that sovereign voice of Maryland, it is Millard E. Tydings. “Mr. Tydings. when having been elected in a Democratic landslide on Mr. Roosevelt's coat tails, has voted against 22 important Roose- ; velt measures . . o 500 Sheets SVjxll Yellow Second Sheets, 35c.
