By the Assoclated Proes. Making a concerted bid, the base- ball representatives of Chicago were in second and third places respec- tively in the American and National leagues today after moving up at the expense of eastern teams. Each foot of ground was contest- ed stubbornly but to no avail. Tn both cases the eastern opposition ended by forming another stepping stone for the Chicago advance. In hard fought ball games, the White Sox downed the Senators by 4 to 3 and climbed to second plac in the American leagne, while the Cubs trounced the Phillies by 6 to 3 and rose to third in‘the National ranks. Tommy Thomas, White Sox pitcher, was the hero of this lat victory for his team. the Senators to 7 safeties he swung the bat for two hits which bronght [} in three of Chicago's runs. Thus Thomas himself turned the tide of a pitcher's battle with Hollis Thurs- ton. Metzler, who scored the win- ning run for the Sox over the Yankees the day before, slammed the first homer made by a White Sox player in their remodeled park Still more impressive was sweeping victory of the Cubs at Philadelphia, where tha Cubs moppod up the enemy under a bar- rage of heavy hits. marked the bombardment and ac- counted for five of the six rur One of the circuit clouts went to swell the growing record of Hack Wilson while Hartnett and Stephen- son made the others, By losing to these aggr ] Chicago fees, the Senators sank to the second division whi lies rested on its brink in place. Detroit met & 6 to 3 setback at the hands of the Athletics and dropbed from second to fourth while the Mackmen, again on the upgrade, went up a notch to third. There was just one feature in that game, 80 far as Tiger fans went, and he was Ty Cobb, playing his at Navin Field in other than a Tiger uniform. Now with the Athletics, Ty figured in the victory with a doublq in the first. The Yankecs returned to, the win- ning column and took a tighter grip on the roof with an 8 to T verdict over the St. Louis Browns, although they could get but seven hits oft the offerings of Goston. One of those, however, was Babe Ruth’'s seventh homer and another a circuit drive by his outfleld mate, Bob Meusel. Wiltse's pitching and some con-| sistent hitting carried the Red Sox|s 10 2 6 to 4 victory over the Indians who are pressing them hard for the cellar.

Cobb's reception yesterday —was marked by a spontancous outburst of welcome that came as unstintedly from the city's dignitaries as from s in the streets. On the | Georgian was thrust the unwilling {role of a conquering hero, returned to the scene of his major league triumphs. The cheering acclaim, which began the instant he stepped from Cleveland, did not its zenith until he poled a two > hit in the game that spelled the the end of Detroit's hopes of victory. 1t remained however. for George Moriarty, his successor as manager of the Tigers to strike the keynote of the entire celebration. Speaking at a noon day luncheon in honor of Cobb, after a host of prominent citi- 1 delivered culogies, Morlarty typified his predecessor as “the man who reduced the hit and run to a prank, base stealing to a common 2 lincident and revolutionized the entire aspect of the game.” Moriarty, placing his hand on Cobb's shoulder as he spoke, related | his experiences as a teammate of the former Tiger 20 years ago and pic- | tured him as one athlete above all ~|others who played at all times for the winning run regardless of con- ditlons. “And that same trait has lved with him through the years to ma pim one of the greatest ball play of all time,” the Bengal pilot con- cluded. Cobb was visibly affected by the tribute and In a volce that at times quivered with emotion, thanked those assembled for the kindn “I hope my old teammate, Moriarty, will be able to do more than I accomplished,” he said. T did the best I could with what I had. But that was not sufficient to produce a winner.” After the luncheon Cobb was es- corted to Navin field at the h of a parade, participated in by members of local intercolleglate clubs and hefore the game was pre- sented with a number of glfts, in- cludinz an automobile. Cobb retired in the seventh fn- ning to rest his strained leg but will be back in the lineup today, it was announced.

Terryville got away to a slight lead, but New Britain tled . things at 2-2 in the second inning with its only real] rally of the afternoon. Then flies| were misjudged and grounders bob- bled, and Terryville went out in front to stay. It was discouraging to Kolodziej, the local pitcher, who was pitching his first game; he did a good piece of work but was ac- corded poor support.

HIGH SCHOOLTD TACKLE HARTFORD Two Baseball Games—Track Meet Saturday Baseball teams from Hartford High schools ‘will receive all the at tention of the New Britain High school team this week. ‘This afternoon the New Britain team will play the Weaver High school nine of Hartford, if the weather permits, and Saturday aftere noon the school's old rivals, Hart. ford Public High school, is down for a nine inning match. Coach Cassidy is so anxious to win the Hartford Public High achool game that if the Weaver games is played this afternoon he may shift his catcher, Marion Zaleski, to the pitcher's box and send Garro in at catch. Zaleski was used in the pitch. er's box during the practice sessions and his work won him notice from the coach. He is anxious to face a high school team. ‘Weaver High school is represented by a strong team and it will enter the game a favorite. 1t has some of last year's veterans who played a large part in victories over the Red and Gold team last year. The probable lineup for New Brite ain in this afternoon’s game is Gara ro, catch; Zaleski or Havlick, pitch; Bromberg, first base; Weston, second base; Begley or Hinchey, short stop; Matulis, third base; Hinchey or Mee« han, left fleld; Partyka, center field; Havlick or Cherpack, right fleld. Stanley Partyka, pitcher, will get the call in the game against Hartford Public High school. The rest of the lineup that has appeared in games this year will be the same unless Frank Begley is eligible to play short stop and in that case Hinchey will probably play left field. By far the hardest meet on its present schedule is that which the track team has slated for Saturday of this week. Suffield Preparatory school will come here for a meect at 10 o'clock Saturday morning in a meet to be run o ffat Memorial ficld in Willow Brook park.
