Score R H E Ozark 000 000 8 2 Branson 001 000 7 4 Hatfield and Harmon Jackson and Wallard half games ahead of the Giants with the Cubs tied for third with the Reds eight games behind the pace The Bucs didnt exactly fold They crumpled Aug 8 1937 the Cubs were an even five games ahead of the Giants when the Chicagoans blew a fuse The Giants coming on to win by about three games On the same date in 1936 the Cardinals were five games in front of the Giants and two ahead of the Cubs The Giants were out in front by five games when the season ended with the Cubs and Cards tied for second Incidentally the Cubs were games behind the Reds today In 1935 the Giants went into their Aug 8 game with a three and onehalf game margin over the Cubs The Cubs won the flag by four games Giants slipping back to third And to bring the example closer to home the 1934 season saw the Giants seven games ahead of the Cardinals on Aug 8 The Cards were in third place two and onehalf games behind the Cubs The Cards won finishing two games ahead of the Giants The St Louis team gained nine games down the stretch Beds May Be Different All of which doesnt necessar ily mean the Reds should curl up in a corner just because re cent precedent indicates their leading position as of Aug 8 is an ill omen Somebody is always doing something just to be dif ferent and Cincinnati may be the elephant to make the triple somersault over six men But it does mean that if the Reds have the idea they cant be caught with an alarm they have only to the records of the immediate past to join the delegation They not only can be caught they be can be con In their favor it must be said McKechnie appears to have a club which can defy precedent despite the fact it has slipped like a tired garter of late with a lead of something like 11 games cut sharply The team has not been in the best of health what with its outfield patched up with wire and tape It should be better with the recovery of its cripples but the pitching staff has been carry ing a tremendous burden and it almost is asking too much for gents like Bucky Walters and to keep up their amazing pace At any rate the storm signals take defy Senators
