As & result of their e " Afth straight victory over Washington, :‘";‘_"* . which incidentdlly was their sixth win | and their ninth in 10 starts, the Browns today seriously threaten the || suprbmacy of the three leaders. Sis- | ler's sensational aggregation Is only | three games und & half behind the | top notch Yankees, two and & half | in the rear of the Tygers and a half | game In the wake of the Senators. An opportune rainstorm at the close of the Afth inning gave De- troit a 5 to 2 decision over New York on the strength of a half-day's work. The Tygers drove Bush to cover in the first frame and were even less considerate of Mamaux, Ruth hung up his 36th circuit drive in the fourth. Brnie Wingard arrived on the scene Just in time to keep St. Louls' win- ning string intact. With the tying run on second Davis resigned In tavor of the brilllant youngster, who “ retired the next two Washington hit- ters and pulled his mates through by the narrow squeak of 6 to b. Cleveland, emulating its Missouri neighbor, is nursing an embryo win- ning streak of its own. By their 8 to b triumph over Boston the Indians made it four straight. Boone of the Red Sox hit his third homer of the series. | The Giants added another game to n already overwhelming lead by dowsing Chicago 5 to 2 while Pitts- burgh was losing to Brooklyn. The National league champs now are in the van by eight games and a half. McGraw's outfit salted the contest away In the opening round by count- ing five times. Dazzy Vance is winning the reputa- tlon once possessed by Christy Mathewson of having the' powey to win a game simply by tossing Tis glove into the pitcher's box. The Rebin hurler turned in another beau- tityul exhibition of ball tossing in let- ting the Pirates down with four hits and three runs while his mates were garnering 6 Vance fanned 10 men, and ran his strikeout total for the season up to 160, Cincinnati scored a 3 to 2 win over Philadelphia with a minimum of ef- fort, as rain put an end to the pro- eeedings in the fifth session. Boston stepped out of its losing rut long enough to turn the tables on St. Leuis by a 5 to 3 margin.

That's | the secret of Dazzy Vance's great suc- f cess in the National league. | Seven or eight years ago Vance | came to the New York Yankees a raw recruit. The late Wild Bill Donovan was managing tho club. In his day Wild Bill had been a great pitcher him- self. As his nickname implied, he was given to spectacular outbursts of wildness, although this feature of his work was greatly exaggerated. Donovan liked Vance as a pitcher, but sent him on his way because he | couldn’t get the ball over the plate. “The kid's got everything a great pitcher needs,” admitted Donovan, | “but it won't do him any good until he learns how to keep it close to the | plate.” | As the years rolled on the wisdom of Donovan's size-up became clear to all. Vance certainly had everything that makes for success on the mound and, as soon as he acquired-control, he became a great pitcher. Teday Dazzy Vance is not only the | star of the Brooklyn team but one of the outstanding pitchers in baaebal!.“ Vance's chief stock in trade is hia| fast ball, backed up by almost per-| fect control. Umpires in the National | league tell me his fast ball is just| about as fast as Walter Johnson's was | when the Big Swift was at zenith of his career. That’s plenty fast enough | for me. Vance, however, doesn't rely wholly on his fast ball. His knuckle ball is' |HERE' DAZZY VANCE WHO RINGS UP 18th VICTORY OF THE SEASON | ——— no easy thing to hit, and his curve has a highly developed deceptive quality. Against Chicago recently he fanned seven batters in a row. During that spurt he mixed 'em up in a manner that stamped him as a smart pitcher as well as an unusually gifted one. Vance is a product of the great open spaces of lowa, is 31 years old, a six-footer and a right-hander., He has been pitching professionally for about 10 years. He got his atart with the HMastings club of the Nebraska state league. Brookiyn got him in | TRRRIBLE AFFARR Corbin Red Sox Lose, But It/ Was the Game Itself That Was So Awful, The Corbin Red Sox went, down to Middletown yesterday for a game with the state hospital team and lost 13 to | 8. The fact that the Red Sox lost was not in itself anything unusual for them, but it was the weird game that was played that made it such a ter- rible affair. Even the scorer gave it up in disgust. The Red’ Sox got to Dr. Van Carr for 14 hits and the Hospital boys got to Lefty Huber for seven bingles. However, the Red Sox mixed up an assortment of wild pitches, passed balls, fumbles, wild throws, etc, to the number of nine which materially aided in the scoring. The Middletown boys made but three misplays. Hein finished the game Huber had started so confiden stumbled so miscrably. which tly and WASHINGTON VS, CHICAGO, Chicago, Aug. 7.—Washington and Chicago meet today to fight it out fo the right to meet Detroit for the championship of the International Printers’ baseball tournament.
