GAUDS BATTLE CUBS TO TIE, PIRATES SPLIT Cubs Blow Early Lead; Play Doubleheader This Afternoon St. Louis. Oct. I.—<UJ»-The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals further complicated the hysterical National league flag race by battling to a 7-7 tie at Sportsman s park here and leaving themselves a doubleheader to play today, next to the last day of the season. Needing only to win as their rivals, the Pittsburgh Pirates, were splitting a pair at Cincinnati, to practicaly sew up the league title, the tiring Cubs threw away the 6-1 ; lead they held going into the fifth I inning and were lucky to escape | defeat. The Cards had the bases loaded when Joe Medwick popped up for the final out in the last of the ninth. The deadlock left the race still in doubt and the Cubs crippled and weary for their final three cr>n>| tests. The Pirates still could win i by taking their last two from the ] Reds if the Cubs fall apart, and | they looked like doing just that. Manager Gabby Hartnett, playing with a damaged finger on his throwing hand, had still another ! digit hurt by a foul tip in the sev-1 enth inning and had to retire. He had swatted his tenth home run in the seconff inning with no one on base. Bill Herman. Chicago's second baseman and captain, was spiked on his big toe by Jimmy Brown in the eighth and was limping toward the last. Pirates Split Cincinnati, Oct. I.— (U.R> — Ru* Bauers. comic reading lumberjack from the north Wisconsin woods, rescued his Pittsburgh Pirate ! | mates from the very precipice of ) I elimination in the National league ' pennant race with a four-hit performance that gave the booting Buccaneers a split in the day's double-header with the Reds. All but dropped out of the race as big Paul Derringer licked them. 7 to 1 with a five-hit job 4n the opener, the Pirates came back to retain their flickering hopes behtng Bauer’s hitting and pitching ' to score their first victory in five games. 4-2. o x * —< « I General Electric Bowling Results LEAGUE STANDING A League W.
