After easing the Cincinnati Reds, Into believing that they had col- 1 lapsed and were all ready for the! taking, the Pirates showed a complete reversal of form yesterday, and kicked the Rhinelanders right I in the face. The Pirates not only put a serious dent in the Reds' pennant hopes but kicked them down to third place. As .bad as the Pirates can look I at times they can’t be indicted for failing to come back when the going gets tongh and their lead is endangered. In conquering the Reds yesterday. 7-1. the Pirates demonstrated conclusively why they are leading the National lea- i gue race by five games. Bob Klinger, the Cardinal chain gang castoff, let the Reds down

Rotarians Trounce Lions In j Softball Feature Last Night

A lair full of larrupin' Lions [ were transformed into just a mess ]of mewling kittens last night, at the South'Ward diamond by the ! crushing cogs of the Rotary wheel i In the annual softball tilt that lot ' the Rotarians nose out a 2216 victory. Encouraged on one hand and heckled on the other by the cheering and jeering spectators, the two l teams furnished some real entertainment for seven innings of undoubtedly the most hectic example of softball ever displayed on the local diamond. The game fairly bulged with boots and bobbles —anil a few basehits. Most radical of the rooters were County Commissioner Phil I Sauer and Mayor Arthur R. Holt- 1 house, both of whom officials were i unable to keep back of the fence j in their ardor and enthusiasm. i Most noteworthy features of the [game included the baserunning of Oscar Lankenau. whose insatiable desire to steal third base even caused him to slide head-first into the bag. The swatting of Maurice Kindler of the Lions, who bagged J two homers and a triple was an-i Other highlight. Dr. Harold Zwick probably pro-] 1 vided the most punch for the Lions. The doctor arrived late, but batted ( twice after entering in the fifth | and walloped homers both times up. The ability of Pete Reynolds to get on base without swinging was another unusual feature. Probably a bit weary of his hitting prowess. the opposing Lion hurlers gave i him five base on balls. But he , tricked them once and knocked out a single. George Thoms was the other player to get a four-bag-ger, banging out his in the fifth. In an effort partly to stave off the inevitable avalance of Charley horses and aching muscles that were sure to swoop down upon the aging players of the two service clubs, the Boy Scout troops of the two mixed their game in with the , venerables. The Rotary Scouts made it a [ clean sweep for the evening, scor-' HOME RUNS Greenberg. Tigers 46 Foxx. Red Sox 42 Ott, Giants 33 i York, Tigers 32 Clift. Browns 30 Goodman.
