Cast off by the New York Yankees two years ago, he performed his fn\nnto pleasure of beating them yesurda\' the seventh time out of nine attempts that he has ac- | complished it since he was shunted away. John Picus Quinn is around 40 years old and has been pitch- ing long enough to know that to win a game for the Boston Red Sox it's advisable to shut out the opposing team, so he did that| and his teammates collected five runs, He showed no fear of Babe Ruth, striking him out once but Babe's attitude became reciprocal and he got three hits, Athletics Back Again, The result lifted the Red Sox {rom the cellar to sixth place, the Chicago White Sox dropping into the base- ment from the blows of the 8t Louls Browns, 8 to 7, and Washington into seventh place before the onrush of the | Philadelphia Athletios, who regained second place by winning twice 7 to 4 and 4 to 2. It was the Athleties' double victory that shoved Cleveland back into third place, the onc day tenancy of that position being granted the day before by enforced idleness of Philadelphia, There was another hig splash of color in the Indian game, the Detroit Tig- ers losing 17 to 4, in spite of a tripie play—Holloway, Rigney to Blue—the first in the American league this year. Giants Hang Record The New York Giants used a wide brush in putting in their share of the day's pigments spending three hours in trimming the Philadeiphia Quakers 22 to 8 and setting a record by mak- ing at least one run in every inning. A streak of crimson was flushed across the canvas by the speedirs Redlegs of Cincinnati who downed the Cubs again 5 to 3 gaining one point on §t. Louis. The Cardinals won their second straight from the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4 to 3, in 11 innings. Leo Dickerman, one of Brooklyn's| astonishing recruits was without con- trol for his second consecutive time and the Braves knocked him out of the box, winning 11 to 6. The loss kept the Dodgers from a strategical position for leaping into second place should Pittsburgh lose ugain today.

Kil- bane has not trained as hard as his cpponent, but he eaid he never was in better shape.
