New York, Sept. 1.
With the National League leading Pittsburgh Pirates beating the New York Giants. 6-0, today, both the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs climbed into second place.
The Reds entered the second berth without playing a game after snatching third place from the Bruins yesterday. The defeat of the Terrymen caused both the Reds and Cubs, who trimmed the Boston Bees, 4-2, to become ce-tenants again.
The world champion New York Yankees and leaders of the American League tumbled before the Detroit Tigers but the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians came through with wins.
Crashing through with three markers in the seventh inning, the Pirates put the game in the bag against the Giants, 6-0.
Lloyd Waner led the batting parade with a triple and three singles.
Following is the call-over for the St. Leger, to be run at Doncaster on September 7 over a distance of about 1 mile, 6 furlongs, 132 yards:
