IN FINAL GAME nati Reds—Browns Lose Out to Yanks by 3 to 1 Score—Phillies In Tie With Pittshurgh by Defeat of Cubs—Scenes Shift Today. By the Associated Fress The elght big league ball teams that are on the road put on their traveling shoes today and journey to the scenes of new combats after winding up four day stands with varying degrees of success. There was joy among the world champion Cardinals as they moved on from New York to Philadelphia, for they recalled a resounding 11 to 1 walloping they administered to the league-leading Glants yesterday. By way of proving they are right on the heels of the New Yorkers in the pennant race the Cards piled up | seven runs in the first inning and | increased the lead thereaiter, barely | missing a shutout. | None of the New York pitchers who tried it could hold the Cardi- nals hitless and Fitzsimmor batted out in that hectic first sion. On the mound for the Ca nals Wee Willle Sherdel pitched masterful ball. Another paradox was added to the history of bascball, when Al Tyson, | New York oitflelder, mado four of | the Glants’ seven hits, finding Sher- del's difficult delivery with case al- though he had come to bat 36 times previously without a hit. Tyson hadn't slammed one safely since May 2. The other noteworthy bats- man of the game was Hafey of St. Louis who made a homer, double and single. The American league produced a game with a score almost as lop- sided, in the victory of the Athletics over the Tigers at Detroit by 10 to | 3. Ty Cobb punctuated this third viet: out of four starts against his old mmates with a single which made it 17 successive games in! pitchs Nallin and Do lhonuwornomnsg locaraSuana Totals o mororosumnommowsy ®lkucsocw Tyson, 1 dstrom, :==_a>: onger, Jackson, | ccoommnoonanwmunbed loos Totals st.

Carl Mays held them in mute subjection until that inning, when they shelled him off the mound to score five runs and take the decision, 5 to 4. Like the Robins, the Boston Red 8ox resumed a determined effort to climb up among the contenders as they laced out a 7 to 0 shutout against the Indians. only pitched a three hit game, but made a triple of his own for the Carrigan clan. The St. Louis Browns made a de- termined effort to halt the Yanks, but lost out 8 to 1. They made 10 hita to the visitors’ 9, but their bats weren't getting enough distance. Defeat of the Cubs by the Phil- lies, 4 to 1, in the only other game played gent them down a peg in the standings while the Quakers went into a tie with the Pirates for third. The new deal in the National league today finds the Cards at Philadelphia, Chicago at Bostop, Pittsburgh at Brookiyn and Cincin- natl at New York. In the other cir- cuit the Yanks play at Detroit, Bos- ton at Chicago, Washington at Cleveland and Philadelphia at St. Louts. AMERICAN LEAGUE NEW YORK AB.

That is a rather unusual state- ment when you figure that the Bambino is the greatest slugger ot all time, feared by every pitcher in| the American league, In the first cast versus east clash have been winning without the bat- ting help of George Herman Ruth, thus proving the club doesn't always g0 as Ruth does. | Prone to strike out a lot, because he is a free swinger, Ruth has been casier than usual this spring to get rid of via the atrikeout route. Lack of a timely hit on his part has kept the Yankees from winning several hall games that would now have them fairly well in front had they Deen placed on the right side of the | ledger. Why the slow start on the part of | Ruth, who physically is slow to hit His spring play his major Some seasons he h started whanging the ball on the nose from opening day, in others he until about the middle of May. | In many quarters, the belief ex- ! ists that Ruth’'s are not as keen as they were when he bumped the old apple for 39 home runs and | @ major league record that should stand for some time, No doubt the eyes ara the real harometetr of Ruth's batting power. He still takes the same terrific cut at the ball, his swing has lost none of the home-run snap, but unque: tionably there isn’t the perfect co- ordination that once exi between mind and muscle, eve isn't| timing the ball as well. | When Babe hits them on the nose | today, the ball travels as far as it| ever did, proving he still has the| old-time power. However, he docsn't hit them so often. He pops up more frequently than he used to and once again lack of proper tim- ing is the answer., The argument has also been ad- 1 that Ruth’'s work as a thespian and movie picture actor hasn't done the well-known eyes any good. IFor about three months last win- ter Ruth did his footlights. Fini cngagement, he hopped ge to the nough time to ture hefore spr. andeville from the having ure pic. g reporting time.
