marked up his eighth victory with-

Pirates yesterday, and is so far out
in front of his pace of last year
that there is no comparison.

held the Washington Senators to
four hits in giving the New York

In the National league the St.

er Mickey Owen batted in four
runs with two doubles.
One -of the day’s best pitching
performances came from an unex-
