‘ PAGE SIX YANKEES ARE CLOSING. GAP, BEAT BROWNS Si. Louis Is Now Only Half a Game the American League Ahead in Cincinnati Ousts Brooklyn from First. Place in the National League (By the Associated Preas) Chicago, July 12—Thke Yankees were ed today from the lea gue-leading St. Louis club by omy a half ganie as a result of their 2 tu 1 victory over the Browns in the first game of the series at the Polo Grounds. It was a hurling duel be- tween Joe Bush and Urban Shocker, with the St. Louis linger having the edge. Two flukes, one of them a muff of Ruth’s towering ily, foliowed by a wild throw gave the Yankces their winning margin. Eddie Rommell received credit for winning both contests, when the Philadelphia Athletics won over De troit, 4 to 2 and 9 to 8, the secon time he has chalked up a double tri- umph in a day this season. Haines held the Phillies to two hits, one » seratch and St. Louis won its eighth straight, 8 to 0; but the fast-going Cardinals were unable to gain on the ants who stopped the uygo Cubs k 4 to 0, with the aid’ air tight twirling. ousted Brooklyn from ati Cincin fourth place in the National league, beating the Dodgers’ ace, Dutch Rue- ther, G to 4, while the Boston Braves checked their losing streak by trim-1 ming Pittsburgh 10 to 4. Earl Smith's pinch hit in the sev- enth drove in two rans and enabled Washington to beat Chicago 3 to 2,4 while Morton of Cleveland shut out the Red Sox 2 to 0, with 4 hits, Walker is making things interest- ing for the home run hitters this sea- son. He bagged a four-baser in the first game then came back and erash- ed out another in the second game. He now has 22 and leads Ken 'Wil- liams in the American League and is} one behind Rogers Hornsby the St Louis Cardinal sta Dark Horse May Cop A. L, L. Pennant) Quartei of Clubs So Even that! All Have Chance If Favor- ites Break, Says Evans BY BILLY EVANS. The New York American League club was the unanimous choice of the experts to repeat. Will it come through? The team has a great pitching staff, a strong offense and a good defense. That trio of assets should be enough to win. The New York club has just passed through a very critical period of de- pression. On its first tour of the west, the Yankees started in fine style- by winning three straight from Chi- cago. Then came the big slump. After losing the final game to the White Sox, an even split was the best the Yankees could do in St. Louis. Then came 4 real jolt at the hands of the Detroit Tigers, the losing of four straight. An even split followea( in the four games at Cleveland, Thus the best the Yankees did on the first invasion of the west was to win seven and lose“nine games, u rather poor showing. Then came a five-game series with, the Boston Red Sox. It was believed this series would start the Yankees, on the right road, as the Bostonians had been going poorly. Again the Yankees failed, by losing four out ot five. The series that followed with the Athletics has helped right the club, and possibly has got Ruth into his stride. The Yankees are certainly due to brace and hit their siride. It is much too strong an aggregation to be used}: as a doormat by clubs much inferior. Possibly there is an inside reason\}' for the slump of the Yankees that has not been made public. Possibly the spirit and morale of the club is such that it may not get back into its pennant winning stride. I rather doubt it. However, should. the Yankees fail to run true to form and stay out in front, the. present campaign in the ‘American League is made to order for some dark horse to slip in and win the pennant. Si. Louis, of cours ond to the Yankees, but the strengtir of Washington, Chicago, Cleveland and. Detroit is,so nearly even that any one of the quartet has an ex cellent, chance should either of the two favorites, New York or St. Loui break. ‘Any of six clubs in the ‘bhevew League that gets consistent pitching has a chance. o——~— aaa f | SPORT BRIEFS | oo Sacramento, Cal.—Johnny Weismu! ler made another new swimming rec ord when he finished the 500 meter swim in 6 Lowered the for- mer record by nine seconds. e, is a close see Los Angeles—Jess Willard was otf- “LIL” STONER’S AMBITION T& & PLAY WITH COBB REALIZED THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE : a George Duncan, England-—10-76- 81-69-—-301.

It's now nine years since the 22 came into the limelight as a pitcher. That was when he pitched for the South Side Baptist Chureh team of Forth Worth ‘in the Twilight League.
