New York, Aug, 22.
The following are the results of baseball matches played in National and American Leagues
Jumping in. Hammond attacked Grimmett's bowling, but several great drives were brilliantly field- ed by Bradman. Duckworth got two boundaries but he was bowl. ed by a full toss in the same over, the ninth wicket falling at 248. Hammond. at this stage of the day: game, was hitting everything, but he fell to a slip catch. He hit one six and eight fours. It was his Pittsburgh best effort of the serjes. He com- Cincinnati bined defence with aggression and Chicago scored with strokes to leg and St. Louis powerful drives.
The earlier play in the Test match is described in the follow- ing Reuter messages:

"Duleep" as Stonewaller. Duleepsinhji now joined Sutcliffe and played the unaccustomed part of a stonewaller, admirably aiding Sut- cliffe in this way to defy the wiies of the bowlers on a sticky wicket.
The two steadily added to the score, until Sutcliffe, who had passed his half century amid applause, seem- ed to lose sight of a ball sent down by Hornibrook, which flew from the shoulder of the bat straight to the gully, where it was held by Fairfax. The veteran had compiled a valuable 54, with a masterly display in a-time
of crisis, hitting four fours. When
he left, Daleepsinhji had knocked up 37, and the third wicket fell for 118.
