BOSTON AT CHICAGO Braves.......... 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 - 2 3 0 Cubs............ 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 3 12 1 Win:Weaver(6-7) Loss:Betts(7-10) Kiki Cuyler had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Jim Weaver took a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the Chicago Cubs won at Wrigley Field in dramatic fashion over the Boston Braves, the final score, 3 to 2. The game was won by Chicago with a run in the 9th inning. Billy Herman drew a walk. Two outs later Cuyler came to the plate and slapped a base-hit giving Chicago the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. Chicago totaled 12 on the afternoon. Weaver(6-7) allowed 2 runs on the game. The right-handed Weaver had his no-hit bid broken up by Bill Urbanski who singled with two outs in the 6th inning. Huck Betts(7-10) was tagged with the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 12 hits and 3 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. BROOKLYN AT CINCINNATI Dodgers......... 0 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 10 0 Reds............ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 3 1 Win:Leonard(10-3) Loss:Benton(0-2) Dutch Leonard pitched a 3 hitter at Crosley Field where the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the hapless Cincinnati Reds 5 to 1. Leonard(10-3) simply dominated Cincinnati. He gave up just 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. The pitchers took over after the 4th inning as neither team was able to score again. Larry Benton(0-2) was charged with the loss. Casey Stengel was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back. Now maybe we can relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.' NEW YORK AT PITTSBURGH Giants.......... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 6 1 Pirates......... 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 6 - 8 13 2 Win:Lucas(7-8) Loss:Parmelee(5-4) Save:Birkofer(1st) Homeruns- J.Vergez(6th) Right fielder Paul Waner had 2 base hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Giants by a score of 8 to 1. Pittsburgh took the lead for good in the bottom of the 6th inning scoring one runner on 2 hits. Ralph Birkofer pitched a perfect ninth and was credited with his 1st save. The win went to Red Lucas(7-8) who allowed 1 run in 7 and 2/3 innings. Roy Parmelee(5-4) was tagged with the loss. He pitched 7 innings allowing 9 hits and no walks. NEW YORK AT PITTSBURGH Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 2 - 5 12 0 Pirates......... 0 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 - 6 11 0 Win:Meine(4-3) Loss:Hubbell(19-7) Save:Swift(1st) Homeruns- L.O'Doul(10th) Paul Waner had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Giants by a score of 6 to 5 at Forbes Field. New York was unable to claim the lead after Pittsburgh went ahead in the 4th inning scoring 2 runners on 2 hits. The big moment was provided by Pie Traynor who made the crowd come alive when he tripled plating two runs. New York threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. Heinie Meine(4-3) went 6 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Bill Swift earned the save, his 1st. Carl Hubbell(19-7) was tagged with the loss. He gave up 6 runs in 5 innings of work. 'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Bill Terry 'but it's losing the close ones that really hurt.' PHILADELPHIA AT ST. LOUIS Phillies........ 0 0 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 12 2 Cardinals....... 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 7 2 Win:Moore(3-8) Loss:Mooney(3-7) Homeruns- L.Durocher(5th) Lou Chiozza had 3 base hits and Cy Moore tossed a complete game as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 5 to 2 at Sportsman's Park. Moore(3-8) gave Philadelphia a solid outing. He surrendered 7 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. The pitchers took over after the 4th inning as neither team was able to score again. Jim Mooney(3-7) took the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 7 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
