Today in Sport stretch hits five game streak in Pirates win
In yesterday's clash at Gintimat Paul Waner extended his hitting streak to five with a single for the Pirates. Ty Cobb left Philadelphia's Washington in a loss as the Phillies failed to rally. Hornsby rose to fourth with three singles in four at bats for the Braves. Sparky Adams, newly acquired second baseman, starred for the Pirates with three safeties against the Reds. Ila Cuyler fueled Bruins as the trade appears beneficial for both clubs. Amateur boxing drew a large crowd in Warren with Otto Okesson beating Paddy Ryan in the main event after a disputed decision. A rematch is anticipated.
