Giants Beat Cards

Brooklyn shaded the Reds, 3-2, in 12 innings yesterday while their interboro rivals, the Giants, belted the Cards, 8-2. Bucky Walters walked Peewee Reese, first man up for Brooklyn in the 12th and this pass was turned into the run which gave the Dodgers their triumph and Walters his seventh straight defeat, which mathemeatically eliminated the

Reds from the race.

A quartet of Brooklyn pitchers worked, Whit Wyatt winning his 17th. Following the walk to Reese, Wyatt sacrificed and Clyde Shoun took over for the Reds. He disposed of Johnny Rizzo on a pop fly only to have Arky Vaughan single Reese across. Bob Carpenter held the Cards to eight hits for his ninth victory as the Giants defeated St. Louis. Babe Young's double with the bases loaded drove in three runs .in the third. A single by Billy Jurges, a double by Mickey Witek and a single by Johnny Mize sent Max Lanier to the showers in the fourth. Three more pitchers followed him to the hill but were unable to stem the Giants’ 14-hit assault. Spl MAJOR LEADERS

Indianapolis Indians finally got their eye on the ball last night and belted Columbus pitchers for 16 hits in the first half of the double-head-er and for 12_in the second game. The base-hit splurge broke the Tribesters’ run famine and also

ll snapped their losing streak at four |straight. . They: won: the. first tilt,

9 to 1, but bowed in the second when the Red Birds shoved over a run in the ninth and won, 5 to 4. Johnny McCarthy, the Indians’

i first sacker, smacked a home run

in the seventh frame of the first game with none on and in the seventh inning of the second fracas with two on. These wallops increased his season’s home run total to 17. Joe Moore of the Tribesters walloped a home run with one on in the third stanza of the first game. It was only his third of the season.

Reid Subdues Birds

Earl Reid pitched for the Indians in their 9-to-1 victory and the Red Birds did not score on him after the initial frame. He was in grand form and held the Columbus boys to seven blows. The Red Birds used four hurlers, Burkhart, Crouch, Gabler and Barrett. In chalking their nine markers the Hoosiers scored one run in the first, one in the second, two in the third, two in the fourth, one in the sixth and two in the seventh. The second game was a: scheduled seven-inning affair, but it lasted nine when McCarthy's seventh-in-ning three-run homer knotted the score at 4-all. a "The Red Birds got to Bob Logan for two runs in the first stanza and scored again in the fourth and fifth. The Indians got one run off Preacher Roe in the fourth and three in the seventh. Both sides changed twirlers. George Gill took up the Tribe mound toil in the seventh and Francis Barrett took over on the Columbus mound in the eighth. The Indians outhit the Red Birds
