LOST, YANKEES. GAIN SECOND PLACE ~ STRETCH LEAD TO EIGHT GAMES: NO OTHER CON- TESTS PLAYED (Special > » The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Chicago/ White Sox walloped the Detroit Tigers yesterday, 10-2, in the only American League game. The loss dropped the Bengals into third position, leaving the idle New York Yankees in sole possession of the second rung. Hard luck was with the Tigers yesterday. At the outset of the contest, it took three Detroit moundsmen to retire the Chisox in the first inning. Seven runs were recorded in that frame on just four safeties, aided by the second stanza, the Tigers lost the services of their first-string centerfielder, Barney McCosky, who injured his side in attempting to stop a hard-hit liner otf the bat of Wright. He may be out of the lineup for a week. Two veteran players starred the Cincinnati Red victory the St. Louis Cardinals in e lone National League contest erday. Jimmy Wilson, who ently passed his fortieth mile- stone, donned the mask and chest protector and backstopped the entire game for the Reds. In the eighth inning he poled a_ double that brought home the deciding marker. Jimmy Ripple, an old-} timer purchased from Mortreal, knotted the score at 2-2 for the league-leaders in the fourth with a home run.

A further discussion of the procedure to follow should the opening game be tied when time- limit is reached was entered in- to. As a result, a rule calling for the initial fracas to end promptly at 4:00 o'clock regardless of the } score was approved. If any manager wishes to play a game under protest he must first notify the opposing team’s pilot, complete the contest and submit his claims a regular league meeting for decision. Goldsmith 66 was adopted as the official baseball of the league. It was verbally agreed that clubs will contribute to a fund to purchase balls by the dozen at a reduced rate. The fellowship agreement pertaining to use of equipment among the teams was agreed upon. How ever, bats borrowed and broken must be replaced. Service representatives at the meeting infgrmed the members that they wished to comply to all Tules and regulations governing civilian teams. This action nulli- fied the previous agreement that service clubs would not have to submit rosters and that they may use the services of any member of the defense forces in Key| West. However, service men may play on any team of the league. at released by any club it three weeks before joining any other team Re- leases and contracting of players will be submitted at a meeting for approval Present last night were: Hamlin, of the Conchs; Frank Caraballo, Blue Sox; Aurelio Lastres, Junior: Donohoo and Kitchins, Marines; Charles (Bud) Garing and John Navarro, Tro- jans; Ralph Balleaux, W.
