The Yankees won ten and lost seven, and the Mackmen took only four out of thirteen contests. Only the White Sox of the western contingent won more games than they lost on alien territory, taking eight out of fifteen games. The Indians annexed seven in | fifteen. the Browns hooked seven and @ropped ten and the Tigers won five and lost eleven. | Nections Well Matched.

Shaw and Schacht also are prob- sbilities. Aside from Bryan Harris, who toiled Saturday. every one of Connie Mack's hurlers is available. with plenty of rest, for the battles today. Davis Pitches Fine Ball. It required a superlative brand of tching by Frank Davis to enable the rowns to cke out one lone victory in the five games they played in Wash- ington and then they attained a 2-1 verdict in ten innings only by the margin of a passed ball. Davis' ex- Bibition of hurling in these_days of | pitcher mauling and 8 to 7 battles| was a decided novelty to the nearly 14,000 fans who packed the stands and provided a crumb of comfort for | Lee Fohl. who had seen every other; Gne of his staff of ten flingers in un- | successful efforts to stop the Griff- men. But Dixic had_to be good for he was opposed by Walter Johnson. whose work was reminiscent of the days before he injured his mighty right_arm and before they started manufacturing base balls out of “bet- ter material.” Furthermore Dixie and his teammates got all the worst of the breaks until that in the tenth, which settled the issue. | Nine innings filled to the brim with | sensationul plays and tense situations | found the clubs deadlocekd at 1-all Lamb opened the tenth with a clean shot to center only to be forced when Shanks ferried Sisler's roller to| O'Rourke. Williams' second double and his third safety of the afternoon sent Sisler to third.

Brower then raised a short fly to left and Judge, attempting to score after the catch, was flagged by Wil- liams' perfect peg to Severeid. Harris_killed off Davis' bid for a single off Johnson's giove in the ninth, and Shanks. after walking and pulling a delayed steal of second. was third after drilling a strike over on O'Rourke. After the Browns had registered in the tenth the fans took heart when Earl Smith, batting for Johnson, led | with a solid single to center. but Judge popped to Lee. Harris forced Smith and Rice lined to Jacobson to end it. What May Hapben in Base Ball Today| AMERICAN LEAGUE. w. Cleveland .. New York Waxhington Roston Detroit . Chicago Louis .
