IN THE NEWS: Righthander Jack Taylor, 8-9 with the St. Louis Cardinals, returns to the Cubs in exchange for 2nd-string C Pete Noonan, rookie P Fred Beebe, and cash. New Chicago owner Murphy is not as apoplectic on the subject of Taylor as his predecessor Hart, and the acquisition denies the Giants of Taylor's services. Taylor will help the Cubs by going 12-3 the rest of the year.

IN THE NEWS: At Cleveland, the Naps top the Tigers, 5-0, in game called after six innings on account of rain. To underscore the soggy conditions, Detroit outfielder Germany Schaefer plays the last few innings wearing a raincoat over his uniform.
IN THE NEWS: The visiting Cubs and Pirates deal aces today with Chicago coming out on top in both games. Three Finger Brown beats Lefty Leifield, 1-0 in the lid lifter with both pitchers allowing just one hit. It is just the 2nd double one-hitter in history, the first occurring on August 20, 1886. Lefty collects the only Buc shot while holding Chicago hitless until Jimmy Slagle's safety in the 9th inning. Slagle scores on a sacrifice, error, and ground out. Brown will toss nine shutouts this year. In the 2nd game, Carl Lundgren tosses another 1-0 shutout for Chicago, beating Vic Willis. When Brown and Leifield face off on September 6, Brown will again allow just one hit.
Major league attendance for today's holiday games has the AL with 75,000 and the NL at 68,000.

Cy Seymour, last year's near triple-crown winner, is a new addition from the Reds for $12,000.
