Joe Tinker slipped another laugh up his sleeve yesterday when his crew of Cubs cooped one-half of a double bill against Brooklyn.

A win for the Cubs today and a loss for Cincy would slip Philadelphia into first place. And that would make Tinker-and his crew feel bad not! There was one home run knocked yesterday by each Jocal team. The Cub four-base play came in the tenth inning and broke a tie score. Chuck Wortman swung the bat that did the trick. Happy Felsch lammed out a homer for the Sox. Incidentally he gets $100 for it from the Dubuque Sox rooters. While the Boston Braves are prac tically settled in third place for this season's run, they continue to maul the ball. Monday's contests resulted in a double win against Pittsburgh. J. C. Smith, who is often heard of as a peach of a hitter, came through again in the first game. He slapped four singles in that many times at bat Each hit sent home a run.
