They began to wabble a bit when they began their eastern jaunt in the middle of the month, the hitters slackened their pace and the pitchers showing less steadiness. As a result they have won only six and lost eight of 14 games since then and even had considerable trouble providing “silent” John Whitehead, eight-game winner on the mound, enough runs to gain his last few victories. Drop to ‘Weak’ Second The Sox dropped into second place , Thursday when they divided the holi- day bill with Cleveland and skidded into an even more precarious position Friday when they “blew” a 6-2 deci- sion to the Indians.

Both of them represented St. Louis clubs. Rollie Hemsley of the Browns, who couldn't get into the “first ten” in the American League a week ago, had climbed to second place after Fri- day's games as he hoisted his average more than 25 points to 352 with 13 hits in 30 times at bat. Joe Medwick of the Cardinals added 20 points to his National League average with nine blows in 20 times up. In contrast the American League leader, Bob Johnson of the Athletics, lost 17 points as he connected safely 12 times in 34 attempts, winding up at .404 and Gerald Walker of Detroit, who had been second to him, dropped 49 points to .336 and seventh place. Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh’s Na-| tional League pace setter, hit ten} times in 25 attempts, lowering his mark one point to .401. Milwaukee, however, won his victory, against one defeat, to as the leading regular hurler. NATIONAL LEAGUE w New York .. St. Louis . Chicago .. Pittsburgh Brooklyn . Cincinnati Philadelphia Boston .

The Miller shortstop started in the second game of Thursday’s double- header, hitting safely in four times at bat. Friday he let out another notch, belting St. Paul pitching for three home run: and a barrage of singles in five times up. The nine hits in nine times at bat left him only three con- secutive blows short of the league record held jointly by a former Mill- er, Joe Mowry, and Johnny Cooney of Indianapolis. Norris’ big day headed a 20-hit splurge which gave the Millers an 11-0 victory which dumped St. Paul out of first place and left Minneapolis only one point behind Indianapolis, which bounced into the lead by mauling Col- umbus 12-4, While his mates were mistreating the Saint hurlers, Go- well Sylvester Claset, Lou Fette and Grimes, the former major leaguers, Ray Kolp, restricted the Saints to five hits.

Landis Vindicates Kamm and Johnson Cleveland President Ready to Give Veteran Infielder Un- conditional Release Cleveland, June 1—(#)—Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland Indians, is ready to give Willie Kamm, veteran third baseman, the uncondi- tional release Kamm requested. Kamm and Walter Johnson, man- ager of the Indians, appeared before Judge K. M. Landis, baseball commis- sioner, in Chicago Friday to iron out difficulties which came to a head re- cently when Johnson sent Kamn home from a road trip. Landis turned the dispute back to Bradley with the statement that “there is no suggestion against the character or reputation” of either Kamm or Johnson, Johnson had charged that Kamm was affecting the play of some of the younger Indians with his sug- gestions and instructions concerning their playing. Both Kamm and Johnson interpreted Landis’ statement as vindication, Bradley, when asked if Johnson would stay, said his case was a matter for the future. “This case is over,” he said. “In my talk with Kamm Tuesday he ask- ed for his release. At that time I could not give it to him because waivers had not been secured. Since our meeting the other fifteen major league clubs have waived and I am pox & position to grant his re- quest.” YESTMRDAY'S ST Ss (By the Associated Pres Hank Leiber, Giants—Raked Boston pitching for five hits in doubleheader.
