Washington 10 Chicago 1 Philadelphia 7 St. Louis 2 Detroit 7 New York 0 Boston 4 Cleveland 4 The speeding Pirates copped the third straight from the leading Giants by pounding the mighty Matty and Kirby, a recruit, who followed him for 17 safe drives. Byrne, Donlin and Carey didj the heavy stick work for the Pirates. O’Toole opposed New York and had little trouble. Sweeney, of the Braves, combed a double and four singles off of Benton, while Zimmerman, who is a few points ahead of him for the league batting honors, did not get a safety. . Dubuc, the Tiger pitching find, held the Highlanders to two hits. In addition Dubuc got two hits, one good for a round trip. He has a pitching record of 16 wins and 4 defeats. Luderus, Cub cast-off, was a big factor in his team’s victory over his old teammates. He secured a homer -with one on the runways in the Bth which put the Cubs down for the count. Washington crowded up % game on the Red Sox, who were held to a tie by the Naps. Hugh Jennings signed a contract manage the Tigers two more years. Reports were being circulated that Jennings would be at the head of the Boston Nationals next year. Milan, Washington center fielder, is leading the American League stealers with over 50 to his credit. Chick Gandil smashed out a triple and homer in four times up off of Lange. Frank LaPorte has been sold by the Browns to Washington. The White Sox purchased Ted Easterly, catcher, from Cleveland. It is probable that he will be used in a trade as Callahan is well fortified in catchers. The White Sox have won but nine games in the last month. This is a pretty poor showing for a team which has pennant aspirations. Heinie Zimmerman has obtained but 3 hits in the last 27 times at bat. Del Gainor, who had his wrist broken in the spring, will be back in the Tiger line-up soon. The Cubs lost an excellent chance to close up on the Giants ,by losing to the Phillies. Bill Mitchell, who returned to the Naps from Toledo, held the heavyliitting Red Sox to a 4 to 4 draw. The Athletics won the series from the Browns by taking yesterday’s game from them. Home Run Baker collected 4 safeties. Eppa Rixey, the sensational twirler, picked up by Dooin, added another victory to his string when he defeated the Cubs 4 to 1. Eddie Grant is as frisky as ever at short stop for the Reds.
