ATHLETICS, CUBS TRAIL LEADERS BY THREE FULL GAMES

Poor Work by Pitchers One Reason Giants, Pirates and Senators Loom as Strong Flag Contenders. NEW YORK. May I.—Early season reverses sustained by the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics and the unexpectedly strong showing of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Senators have alleviated apprehension that the 1930 major league pennant campaigns would be runaway races. The Athletics and Cubs were trailing the pace setters in their respective leagues by three full games each as the season’s first intersectional competition got under way today. The New York Giants, Pittsburgh and Washington have been the most successful clubs in sectional contests this spring and all three are regarded as strong candidates to succeed the 1929 pennant winners. The Giants opened their season with seven consecutive victories and then ran into their old nemesis—the Brooklyn Robins—and lost three games in a row. Pittsburgh, despite the absence of Captain Pie Traynor and Lloyd Waner, has been playing the best ball of any team in the National League and now stands out as the most dangerous threat to the Chicago Cubs’ supremacy. The Philadelphia Athletics’ failure to get away to a fast start resulted from ineffective pitching. Except in the game with Washington, however, and in one defeat by the Red Sox, the Athletics have shown sufficient hitting power to carry through to victory. Weak pitching also has been a handicap to the Cubs and the team has been further weakened by the absence of Rogers Hornsby and Lester Bell. The injured infielders got back into the lineup this week and aided the Cubs in taking two in a row' from the fast stepping Pirates.
