A single by Caveney, a sacrifice by Harris and another single by Bohne forced in the winning run in the twelfth. The Boston Nationals, playing in Pittsburgh, staged a last inning bat- ting rally, taking four runs in the one frame, but were unable to catch the Pirates, and lost, 8 to 5. In St, Louls, the Philadelphia Na- tionals won after Jimmy Ring held the St. Louis Cardinals to four hits. ‘The score was 3 to 2. All three of the visitors’ runs were scored in the fifth inning. Herbert Pennock emerged victor- ious from a pitching duel at the American league park in Philadel- phia and the New York Yankees won, 7 to 8. Rollie Naylor was the losing Pitcher, although he threw a fine style of ball. The Washington Senators sur- prised the world fn general and the Boston Americans in particular by winning in Boston by a score of 10 to 7. They took a big lead with six runs in the first inning and held it throughout. The New York-Chicage National game was called because of rain. Sammy Bohne, the hustling little sec- ond sacker of the Cincinnati Na- tionals, broke up a 12 inning game yesterday against Brooklyn, when his blow sent Jimmy Caveney home with the marker which gave the Reds the victory. Howard Ehmke of the Boston Americans got a good bump in the first inning which gave Washington a lead which proved sufficient to carry them to victory. Manager Frank Chance of the Bos- ton American Red Sox acted as peace- maker when Chick Fewster and Picinich got into an argument in the dugout at Boston. Chance made the players shake hands and then the club put on a six run rally but fell short of overtaking Washington. “Naylor swung into action on the mound before the home crowd at Philadelphia, the first time since his injury of more than a month ago, but did not display his old form and the New York Americans won their fourth straight game. “Babe” Ruth was greatly improved from the stiff neck ailment which caused his retirement from the game "Thursday. He stepped into Friday's game and smashed out three hits, in- cluding his 24th home run and a double. In addition, he scored three times. Ruth is now one circuit drive behind “Cy” Williams of the Phila- delphia Nationals. —————— FORT SNELLING BOXING RESERVED FOR SOLDIERS 8T.
