Pirates Blank Cubs 15–0 in Big League Action
ENRY MEINE limited Chicago to three hits as Pittsburgh routed the Cubs 15 to 0 on Friday.

Carl Hubbell restrained Robins as Philadelphia topped Boston 9–5 behind Klein’s 34th homer, while Jack Russell defeated Earnshaw 4–2 in Philadelphia. The Cubs’ once large lead over the Pirates was reduced as Pittsburgh planned Grimes to cut the margin to nine and a half games.
