Five triumphs have \ been recorded ill the New York in- | vasion of the west, and as for the | 9 prospects of clinching the bunting) the Yankees fed about the same as the cat getting ready to eat the canary. Boston's Braves refusted to be shelved in the cellar and finished i the wtoek nursing a seven game win-1 ning streak in seventh place. Dave Bancroft's club passed (Itrough without a setback and its five markers in the win column was the outstanding feat in the National league.' Pittsburg retained the peak by taking four out of six games while the best the. Beds could do was to i win two of six games which was largely due to bumping into the Bos i lou snag again. The Giants were saved from a complete shutout" by a double victory over the cardinals who loom as the lone hope of St. Louis fans to bring homo a championship.
