Both stumbled Friday and the con- sequences came close to being serious for the Tigers. Detroit ran into its first doubleheader defeat of the sea- son, losing a pair of 5. to 4 decisions to the Athletics, but luckily for the ‘Tigers, the cellar-dwelling White Sox upset'the Yankees 6 to 5. leaving New York five games behind. H The Giants ran into a “jinx”| Pitcher, Lon Warneke, and yielded to the third-place Chicago Cubs 4 to 2, but as all other National League teams were kept idle by rain the Giants lost only a half game and lead the second-place St. Louis Car- Cinls by 6% games. The A’s home run guo of Jimmie Foxx and Bob Johnson were the Principal instruments of Detroit's downfall. After Philadelphia had taken advantage of Tom Bridge's wildness to score three runs in the second inning of the opener, Foxx belted his 41st homer to send Tommy to the showers. Later Bing Miller hit for the circuit for the winning run as Detroit staged a three-run rally in the ninth. Johnson's Homer Wins After a nip-and-tuck struggle for six innings of the second clash, John- son hit his 30th homer to start a two- Tun rally that won the game. Lou Gehrig remained two homers ahead of Foxx’ by belting his 43rd against the White-Sox but that wasn’t enough as Chicago tied the score in the seventh and won out in the ninth when relief pitcher Lefty Gomez passed Luke Appling and Manager Jimmy Dykes sent him home with a dcuble.

A backfield that averages 160 pounds will cavort behind a 170 pound line in a new and tricky offense which the gridders have been studying during the summer months.

Rallying for four runs in the ninth inning Friday, Columbus defeated Louisville, 5 to 2.

Minneapolis added another game to its lead over Milwaukee by winning, 12 to 5, in a free-hitting contest. . Leo Norris, with a homer and two; doubles, and Ernie Smith, who hit a triple, double and two singles, paced the millers at bat. Kansas City went on to trim 8t. Paul, 7 to 5.

OTT AND SIMMONS FALL OFF DURING LAST WEEK New York, Sept. 8—(#)—Two out- standing slumps, neither of which af- fected the -setters, marked the last week’s major league batting per- formances. The victims were Mel: Ott of the New York Giants and Al Sim- mons of the Chicago White Sox, both of whom had been threatening the leaders’ safety. Ott and Simmons had 11 points each clipped from their averages and each wound up in fifth place in his league, far off the pace. Ott col- lected four hits in 27 trips to the plate up through Friday's games; Simmons hit two out of 20. The pace-setters, Paul Waner of Pittsburgh and Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, maintained their unaltered Pace. Waner lost one point, drop- ping to .366 with nine hits in 26 at. tempts, but his margin increased as his nearest rival, Bill Terry, suffered @ four-point loss. Gehrig hit eight times in 20 tries for a one-point rise to .365 Hoereuge Charley elrings: three: points.

The husky coach, a wry smile flit- ting across his countenance, crossed his legs Saturday and said: “I don’t want to be glum, but facts are facts.” ‘Then he launched into a discussion of the potency of the Panthers’ 1934 opponents. “Now, take Southern California,” . x should be straight, representing . They only lost a center “They're another thorn in the Pan- ther’s side.” As for his own team, the one-time star linesman under “Pop” Warner still refused to be cheerful. “We had a great team last year,” he said, “but it was an offensive team.
