Incidentally, despite the defeat, the Yankees rounded the week with such a lead in the American league averages that little Jess than a miracle could pre- vent their pennant victory, the ex- perts conceded. - Although the New York Nationals also lost, the experts generally agree that their National league rivals have small chance to tear them from the top. So another world series combat looks pretty safe for New York this fall. Ruth, by hammering out a homer, a double and a single, jacked up his batting average to .39394, Inasmuch as Harry Heilmann, the Detroit slug- ger, was out of the game with a strained tendon, Ruth took the league batting lead away from him. Heil- mann’s average is .393.77. Ruth's home run was his twenty-ninth of the season, putting him even with Cy Williams of the Philadelphia Na- tionals, The New York Giants lost to the St. Louis Nationals on the Cardinal field, § to 2. It was the closing game si of their western trip. The New York ers dropped three out of five to the Cardinals, the only series they lost on the latest invasion. ‘The only other exciting events in the National league occurred in Brooklyn where the Dodgers trimmed the Pittsburgh Pirates in a pair of games, 11 to 2 and 6 to 0. In the first game, three Dodgers— Neils, Fournler and Deberry, knocked home runs. Philadelphia beat the Chicago Na tionals at Chicago, 7 to 5. The Bos- ton Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds had a holiday because it rained. farris pounded out a homer in Cleveland to help the Boston Ameri- cans to defeat the second place Cleve- landers, 8 to 3. Washington, playing at home, overcame a six run lead in the only other American league game, defeating Chicago, 9 to 6. The St. Louis and Philadelphia Americans were not scheduled to play. In snatching two games from Pitts- burgh Brooklyn triumphed by reason of some extraordinary pitching on the part of Vance and Grimes, Vance, a demon for speed, in the first game. scored his tenth victory and struck out ten men, while Grimes in the second contest allowed Pittsburgh but three hits, two of them being of the scratch variety. A seventh inning rally by the Wash- ington Americans made it a sad day for Pitchers Make Cvengros and “No- Hit” Charley Robertson. At the ond gf Sunday's games Ruth led in batting averages by 17- 10,000ths. ‘The Cincinnati and Pittsburgh clubs of the National league collapsed sadly during the week's play, leaving the New York Giants again safely in the lead. The New York Americans also handily maintained their com- manding lea@ in the week's games and another all-New York world ser jes appears to be a certainty. Slump- ing badly, the Cincinnati Reds were able to win but one game of seven. For the second time this season Babe Ruth of the New York Ameri- cans, without the aid of his Sam Crawford bat, tied his home rin rec- ord yesterday with that of “Cy” Wil- ams of the Philadelphia Nationals. Ruth poled out his twenty-ninth homer. Williams made his twenty- ninth homer last Tuesday.
