Wingo, xx By the Associated Press. Despite their losses the New York Yankees are gaining ground in the American league and now boast an even eight games over the rest of the fleld. Yesterday they divided a double bill with the White Sox but Phila- delphia lost to Cleveland, urging the Huggins hopes half a game onward despite themselves. Ted Blanken- ship beat the Yankees in the open- ing test, 4 to 3, the New York scores coming from Babe Ruth's 20th home run in the first inning witk two men on the bases. The other White Sox, Ted Lyons, was unable to hold them in the second game after relieving the faltering Big Jim Edwards. Lyons walked two with the bases jammed. The Yankees won 5 to 4. Cleveland piled up six runs in the | ninth to turn back the Atheltics, 6 to 0. Howard Ehmke held the In- dians to three hits for eight frames, but gave way when the attack came in the ninth. Twelve safeties, league's leading hitter, Fothergill, gave Detroit the first game over Washington, 7 to 6, but Walter Johnson obtained a 10 to 7 margin | in the second, his mates giving him | seven runs in the first two innings. St. Louis trumped the Boston Red x twice, 11 to 1 and 7 to 4. Van Gilder holding the Bostonians to four hits in the opener while the Browns pounded out 15. The Sis- lers registered 14 safe blows in the second. Cincinnati made its lead in the National league two full games, Dbeating Boston 6 to 4, while Pitts- burgh divided with Brooklyn. It was Eddie Roush day in Redland and the veteran centerflelder con- tributed two single to the 13 hits granted by his club behind Jakie May.
