Cardinals Drop Double Header To Cincinnati New York. May 13-fCp)—The teat of the American league -JU'? Searched for away an harness the runaway Red Hoi today, but there wax a brighter outlook in the National where opponent* of the Cardinal* dared to hope that the pre-season favorite* might v ind up aa "al»o ran/ 1 in the baseball pennant derby. The Yankee* tried to Mop 'fie Red Sox by cooling off their redhot bitter*, hut it didn’t work. Boston won two out of three Paine* in The important series, caching in on fine DtfKiinK and light fielding to offset a midden deficiency* The Red ftoi held to it hit* for the threo games and only two were for extra bases. The great Ted William', who suffered a touch of temperament when Yankee fan* tlarted razzing him. failed to get a hit in the three gases nan OU her key BoMjn slugger* were similarly impotent The lied Sox got only three hits off Spurgeon tSpudt Chandler yr*tehiuy but beat the Yankee ace, 3 to 1, fce< auxe their own pitcher. Lefty Mickey Harris, al so gave up only three hits and received better defensive support. Two straight errors by shortstop i’bil flizzuto led to one unearned Boston run and one by substitute third baseman Hjik Majeskl produced another. The victory was the ifith in 17 games for Boston and increased it* lead to five and a half games over the second place Yankees Harris won his sixth straight game while Chandler lost his Mfat after five wiftx. Meanwhile, there were staid* ling National league developments. The Cards wound up an unsuccessful home 3Uy in which they won only four game* and lost six by dropping a double header to the Reds, 4 to 2 and 5 to I. Their old nemesis, Bulky Walters, beat them in the Iffirting opener while rookie* Ewell Bfcrkwell stopped them on three hits in the second garni* Cincinnati, which has won nine of its last 12 games, moved into a tie with Boston and Chicago for third place. What make* the Cardinal sitiiaHon more alarming Is that the te;m opens an eastern road trip against the leading Dodger* tomorrow and Brooklyn hasn’t been beaten at home in eight starts this year. Yesterday, the Dodgers topped the Phils, 13 to I nnd manager Ren Chrftman became so upset that he came out ft retirement to pitch the last two Innings. He held the Dodgers scoreless, but before he came in the Dodgers had fiMide 12 hits off three other Clingers.
