Giants Score Fifth In Row Against Cards New York, May 15 tl’Pi One I dizzy month of the baseball season was "out of this world" today and the 30-day reign of confusion makes the pit-king of possible pennant winners much more difficult now than when the campaign begun. At the start It was almost a foregone conclusion that the St. Lbitis Cardinals anti Boston Red Sox would repeat. Now neither team is top-choice atnong the bookies, but the fog is so thick on the baseball horizon that there is little agreement as to which teams should succeed the Cards and Red Sox as favorites. One New Jersey bookmaker 1 said he wa now quoting the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers at 2 to I and the Cardinals "a little behind at 11 to 6.” The fact that the Cards are more than a little behind in the pennant campaign in dead last place, didn’t concern him too much, because he said “St. Jxiuls is a notoriously slow starter." He figured the Detroit Tigers as ft to 5 favorite in the American with the Red Sox at 2 to 1 and the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians at 4 to 1. The National league's best "dark horse" bet. the New York Giants, maintained their "hex" yesterday over the Cardinals, heating them. 6 to 4. at St. Irnuis for their fifth straight victory over the world champions. A six-run rally in the fourth, which sent Murry Dickson to his fifth straight defeat, clinched the victory. Walker Cooper and Wil lard Marshall hit key triples In the big Inning. Ron Northey hit a two-run Cardinal homer In the sixth to knock out starter lairry Jansen after which Ken Trinkle pitched three scoreless relief innings. The Reds made it two straight over Brooklyn at Cincinnati, winning. 2 to 0. on Ewell Blackwell's six-hitter. Lefty Joe Hatten yielded only four hits but one of them was a homer by Tom Tatum, who used to be a Dodger himself. Tatum. sold to the Reds Tuesday, also drove in two runs with a single in Cincinnati's opening victory over Brooklyn. Bert Haas ' got the other three Red hits and scored the other run. Joe Dobson, given an early lead, pitched the Red Sox to a 5 to 1 win over the White Sox at Boston. The winners scored all their runs In the first three innings, knocking out Orval Grove with three in the third. I-eon Culberson and Hal Wagner made two hits apiece for Boston. Freddie Hutchinson won his fifth game for Detroit. 3 to 2, over the Senators at Washington.
