Mel Off Sets New National League Record Scores 1,7415 t Run As Giants Triumph; Cardinals Win Two New York. June 22 (I'Pl—The| printers of baseball's record books. I already rationed on "O'a" and "T a" because the little name of Ott appear* mo many timer, in big letters, had a new record to add to master Molvin’a li*t today. The doughty manager of the New York Giant*, who seta a new record almost every time he goes to bat. adored hi* 1,7415 t run yesterday as the Giant* trounced teh Brooklyn Dodgers, 11-2. The tally, unimportant in such a lopsided score, broke the mark get by Honu* Wagner in 1917, 27 seasons ago. Wagner. Raid by many to be the greateat shortstop, if not the greatest ball player of all time, labored 21 years to establish hi* mark, while Ott is now In hi* 19th active season. The all-time record of 2,244 runs ta held by Ty Cobb and was established over a 24-year period In the American league.

three hits in five times at the plate, in supporting rookie Hili Volselle’a six hitter with a savage seven run attack in the ninth Inning to swamp the “Bums". Rube Melton was charged with the loss. The St. Louis Cardinal* continu ed to make life a misery for the Chicago Cuba as they scored their 10th and 11th consecutive victories over the Bruin* thia* season. George Munger and Mort Cooper collaborated on a 6 4 victory in the first of the two game*. Munger notching the decision despite the fact that | the league champions wereo uthit 12-9. Harry Brecheen held the Cubs to six hits in the nightcap | and the 12-hit attack of his mates i provided him with an easy 7-2 triumph. Ray Starr shined in his second start against the Cincinnati Reda as two runs in the ninth inning gave Pittsburgh a 2 1 edge. Starr, who pitched last year for the Red*. ha« appeared in only two games for the Pirates this season, both against his former mates, and in both cases he has come out ahead. The two-run ninth inning snapped a run famine which had extended 25 innings for the second place Hues. The doubleheader scheduled for Philadelphia at Boston in the senior circuit was rained out for the second straight day. The American league-leading St. Louis Brown* stretched their margin over Boston to two and a half games as they swamped the Chicago White Sox. 11-2. Home runs by Gene .Moore and Verne Stephens paced the St. Louis offense and I carried Nelson Potter to his aevlenth win. The Philadelphia Athletics, in I last place in the circuit Monday, moved Into fifth place with a 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Frankie Hayes started a sixth inning rally that netted three run* and broke a 2 2 tie to give Jess Flores the decision, the “A’s" third straight over the second place BoSox. Washington and New York split a pair, the Yanks winning the first 4-3 with milkman Jim Turner getting credit for his first win. A five run first Inning proved enough of a working margin for Milo Candlni as the Nats came back to win the nightcap, 6-4. In a 26 hit slug fest, Cleveland outlasted Detroit to win. 9-7. Kight pitchers gore used In the contest with Ed Klieman getting credit for the win and Johnny Goniica being charged with the loss.
