But his club, the New York Yankees, faced the painful knowledge that they were 6% games behind the league- Jeading Washington Senators and all but out of the pennant race. For Lou, it was just a matter of go- ing out there and playing another game and taking the honors that went with his record achievement as much in his stride as he has the 1,307 games that have gone before. Wed- nesday he played his 1,307th consecu- tive game since he broke into the Yankee lineup way back in 1925. That equalled the record set by Everett Scott, with the Boston Reti Sox and the Yankees. Thursday Gehrig was due to establish a new mark and to receive a silver cup from President Will Harridge of the American League. Gehrig led all the Yankee hitters Wednesday but at that he got only two hits, while the St. Louis Browns hammered young Charley Devens, Danny MacFayden and George Uhle for 18 hits and a 13-to-3 victory. ‘That happened while Washington was scoring a 5-to-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Indians, Tigers In Tie ‘The Cleveland Indians and Detroit ‘Tigers came through with a pair of victories and remained tied for fourth eplace. The Indians edged out the Philadelphia Athletics 5-4 on a ninth- inning run. Detroit beat the Boston Red Sox 6-5 by bunching blows. The New York Giants increased their National League lead a bit by ringing up their 20th shutout victory of the season at the expense of the Cincinnati Reds, 5 to 0, while Pitts- burgh got only an even break in a doubleheader with Brooklyn and Bos- ton knocked off Chicago’s Cubs for ‘the second time. Danny Taylor and Van Mungo kept Pittsburgh from winning two games ‘as Mungo held them to seven hits and one run in the 11th-inning opener and Taylor two homers to gain a 2-1 decision for Brooklyn.
