Donie Bush got away with the first game by 8 to 3 but the Reds amazed all hands in the second fray by knocking, Burleigh Grimes from the box and giving him his first defeat of the season. He has 10 victories. The score was 8 to 1, with Pete Donohue officiating for the Reds. The Cubs meanwhile were taking a 7 to 2 jolt from the Phillies while the Giants were flattening the Rob- ins in Flatbush, 11 to 4, behind the fine pitching of Carl Hubbell. Benge fanned 13 Cubs just to make his triumph the more impressive. These various results left the Cardinals still leading, but only by the skin of their teeth, with the Pirates barély ahead of the third- plece Cubs. The Cards with .618 were three points ahead of the Buc- canneers, who in turn were three points in front of the Bruins.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, June 17.—(#)—This week the principal issues along the eastern fronts are concerned with whether Harvard's varsity crew can stop Yale in their historic race on the Thames and whether the world’s champion Yankees, their 1928 situation exactly reversed, can stop the fast-flying Ath- létics in the American League base- ball race. ‘The arguments in both cases will be set forth next Friday. In the case of the Yankees and Athletics, however, the debate continues through Satur- day and Sunday, with five games Crammed into three days and the ulti- mate fete of thé pennant perhaps upon them.

For more than a week the leading pair have matched strides, each winning and losing on the same days, against other teams of the circuit. The Blyes divided a doubleheader with Louisville yesterday, dropping the first one, 6 to 5, and coming back with a powerful batting attack to take the second, 13 to 5,.after thump- ing the Colonels, 10 to 2 Saturday. Minneapolis also won Saturday, walloping Columbus, 12 to 6, and split even in a double bill yesterd: Brill- heart pitched the Millers to a 9 to 4 édge in the first game yesterday, but Kenner, recently sent to the Senators by Cincinnati, permitted only three hits in the twilight contest, and Columbus won, 5 to 2. Toledo and St. Paul also broke even in a double header yesterday. The Mudhens took thé opener, 4 to 2, be- hind McQuillan’s excellent pitching, but spent 11 innings in dropping the seeond game, 7 to 5. Shealy’s fine relief pitching and Bruno Haas’s single with the bases filled in the eleventh, were responsible for the Saint victory. Indianapolis made it four straight over the Milwaukee Brewers yester- day by taking two games. The first game was a triumph for Ken Penner, who allowed only four hits in the 14 innings to gain a 2 to 1 decision. Ferd Schupp received credit for the second victory which went only six innings gue to Indianapolis’ 6 o'clock Sunday Closing law. Schupp gave only two hits and gained a 5 to 0 margin.

Tulloch said Patrolmen Coveney and Cheatham tried to block Gordon's car with their two machines. They said Gordon stopped, jumped out and ran back toward the border. The custom collector's statement quoted Cheatham ‘and Coveney as saying that Gordon could dis- tinguish their uniforms and that they ordered him to stop with the cus- tomary command of “United States customs, halt!” the Canadian border when he was brought down. Cheatham said that when he approached Gordon, the youth said: “You got me.” Gordon died while being taken to a hospital by the patrol.
