There is Hack Wilson of Chicago and Billy Southworth of St.. Louis who would be desirable in the New | York Giants' outfield. There is Bill Jacobson, sent to the Boston Red Sox by the Browns, and Howard Ehmke, who escaped from the Red Sox and allied himself with the Ath- | letics. Miller Huggins of the Yankees, now leading the Ameri- can league, undoubtedly would ap- preciate the services of Carl May; who is pitching splendid ball in Cin- cinnati’s bid for the National league pennant. There are many other cases, but | the transfer who looms today is the youthful George Murray, obtained by Washington from the Yankees Yesterday the league leaders fell betore the Senators for the third time in two days, 5 to 2, and Mur- | ray was the man on the Washing- ton mound. He granted the sluggers only three hits, none of them by Babe Ruth. In fact, the Babe struck out once. Philadelphia presented Ehmke against his former team mates in |spe the first contest of a double header and the veteran scored tremendous- ly with a 5 to 1 decision. He permit- ted five hits and only Jacobson could | L find him twice. Then in the second | game Eddie Rommel was his old powerful self and gave the opposi- tion the same number of safe blows for a 5 to 0 decision. Al =immans of the Nacks hit two doubles and ¢ gingle for a perfect average in th! contest. Cleveland gained ground on the Yankees by shutting out Chicago, 5.to 0, with Miller keeping nine hits ‘well scattered. Manager Tris Speaker of the Indians issued three doubles while Jamieson and Sum- ma added triples to the aMack. §t. Louis bunched hits in innings to down Detroit. 7 to Wally Schang, former Y. 2, hit- ting a home run. Lil Stoner was the victim of the Browns' onslaught.

After the first frame the Red moundman refused to permit the enemy to cross the plate. Dressen of the Reds had a homer. NATIONAL LEAGUE CINCINNATI AB.
