CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—(By The Associated Press).—The league leaders regained their old-time vim and vigor yester- day and forged ahead once more. The New York Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds at’the Polo Grounds, 7 to 1, making their lead seven and a half games. Catcher Hargrave scored the only Red run, a homer in the last inning. ‘The New York Americans won from the Browns in St, Louls in a tight fought pitchers’ battle, 3 to 1. Hits by Fothergill and Cobb won for the Detroit Americans over Phila- delphia 3 to 0, in Detroit. Burleigh Grimes pitched a shutout game against the St. Louis Nationals on their home field and the Brooklyn Robins won, 3 to 0. He allowed only four hits. The Cleveand Indians pounded Emke for ten hits in Cleve- land and defeated the Boston Amer!- cans, 12 to 3. He was driven from the box In the fourth and replaced by Murray.

The Philadelphia Nationals won a vietory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8 te 5. The Chicago Nationale defeat- ed Boston 6 to 2, by a severe attack on Oeschger in the first half of the game. General Gouraud, French war hero, witnessed the game and was in- troduced to the players. The veteran Harry Hooper collect- ed four hits in five times up, but his mates lacked the punch and Chicago bowed to Washington, leaving ten men stranded on. the bases. Ty Cobb, the ‘Georgia Peach” tarted Detroit to a victory over hi'ade'phia, when his triple sent in the first run. Fotherg!ll added an- other with a home run and a few more hits sent Hellman across the plate. Galloway was the only Phila- delphian to fathom George Dauss’ pitching, the little shortstop making three of the five hits off the Detroit star. Galloway also was the only Athietic to get beyond first base. Cooney of the Boston Nationals who comes from a family of baseball play- ers and who aspires to be a pitcher, came in from the outfield and twirled a good game against Chicago for the last four innings. Cooney is not heayy enough to go to the mound reg- ularly and Manager Mitchell has been using him as an outfielder.

But with hundreds of examples to prove the emptiness of glory and the fickleness of fame, it is not surprising that modern athletes are commercial.

Guillemot and Mlle, Suzanne Leng- len were the only eltes who suc- ceeded in having t! French colors run to the top of the victory pole, a ceremony which paid tribute to the winner of each event. Just recently Guillemot resumed training for the Olympic games “in Paris next summer. He was not in shape, and he had to quit at the end of five meters.
