Pirates Beat Cardinals as Gehrig Stars in Doubleheader
In a Union of major league action, the Pirates overwhelmed the Cardinals 9 to 2 while the Yankees split a doubleheader with the Athletics, Gehrig belting his 22nd homer as Ruth sat out with an injured knee. The Reds toppled the Cubs 8 to 6, Vance and Uhle dominated, and other results shifted standings as Johnson, McGraw, and Connelly squads faced varied fates. A separate wire note highlights Clifton South Carolina dairyman L. J. Wright registering the millionth Jersey cow, Bess, at the American Jersey Cattle Club in New York. The milestone, part of a broader rise in Jersey registrations since 1904, marks a milestone in American dairying history.
