A’s Beat Yanks Philadephia, Aug. 13.—A few days " ago the lowy but not meek Athletics ! gave the Clevelands a beating which i pulled them out of first place; yester- ' day they inflicted that indignity on the Yankees. A five run lead held by * the Yankees lasted no longer than it . takes to tell it, and the Athletics won the game, § to 6. Recently a good many runs have ‘been needed to win for New York pitchers. Waite Hoyt, who has lost his last. three games found K & - five run ‘margin insuffcient. He withered- fast once he began to go, but there were as baneful influences as he. Bad work around the infleld helped to lose this ball game. Babe Ruth hit his 44th home run !n the eight inning with no one on base.

Cleveland, Aug. 13.—As a result of the easy victory of the Australian team over the Danish players in yes- terday’s match for the Davis cup pre- liminaries, experts here are of the opinion that today’'s contest may de- termine the outcome of the matches in Cleveland. The relatively poor showing by the Danes is said to be due to their not being accustomed to a grass court and also lack of time for practice. If the Awstralian team wins today it will have won the necessary three out of five matches, thus making the two remaining singles matches carded for Sunday merely exhibitions.
