NEW YORK, May Captain Lindbergh and the gent who bit the dog, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago White Sox be kept out of the headlines these days.

The Corsairs chalked up their eighth straight victory yesterday, while the White Box won again and closed in on the Yankees. The Pirates are alleged to have a poor pitching corps, but if the brand of throwing turned in by the boxmen during the last 10 days is weak, a cup of benzine sliould make a nice mild chaser.

The east, having nothing to show for six effort except victory in 1924. is supinely ready for its Inevitable defeat, for it Stanford misses.
