Major League Comment

Hu I nitcil PrcKH Paul Waner, young Pittsburgh outfielder, hit in his nineteenth consecutive game Thursday as the Pirates defeated Boston, 6-0. Through the victory the Pirates managed to maintain a slim margin over the second place Chicago Cubs. Lee Meadows held the Braves to six scattered hits. Chicago Cubs set up anew 1927 winning streak by taking their twelfth straight victory, this one from Philadelphia. 7-2. The previous winning streak was 'held by the Pirates, who won eleven straight games. Cincinnati Reds had little difficulty in defeating Brooklyn. 10-1. Luque kept the Robin hits well scattered. New York Giants stopped their six-game slide down hill by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 10 to 5. It was a big day for Rogers Hornsby, who hit safely four times in four times at bit. One of the blows was the former Cardinal manager's eleventh home run of the season. Home runs by Ruth and Gehrig— No. 22 for the Babe and No. 15 for Columbia Lou. and the presence of Col. Charles Lindbergh at Yankee stadium made the 8-1 victory of the Yanks over the St. Louis Browns a gala event. Lindbergh arrived to see the game, but the only tally chalked up by his fellow-townsmen was Schulte's homer in the seventh. Danny Dover, a shortstop recruited from the Columbus sand-lots, has been released by Ivy Wingo.
