Yankees rose higher today as their | - rivals for world honors saw them | <. oraiier out minus their heavy hitting yet still | (T e victorious. | Two base hits—Fothiargill, Ruel Beating the St. Louis Browns by pires—Rowland, Connally and Van 3 to 2 in a game without an extra | % Time—1:3f base hit or the services of Babe Ruth, the leaders of the American league proved themselves an all- around ball club that can pitch as well as hit. | Ruth’s mates had their chance to show conclusively they are not a!. one man team, when the big fence- | 1o b Dreaker left the lineup after the first |“5rodt: inning because of a wrenched knee. He acquired it in the unusual man- | ner of swinging too hard at a third strike in the previous day's game. Knowing long hits by the Yankecs would be fewer, Urban Shocker un- limbered his pitching artillery and held the Browns to just four safeties, pitching no-hit ball uftil the seventh. While the Yanks were winning a game in a hitless way that has be- come almost out of date, their closest rivals, the White Sox, were falling further behind. The third place Athletics, striving hard to get back neck and mneck with the| Yankees, scored an 8 to 3 victory ove rthe Sox on the pitching of Rube Walberg. The wear and tear of the eastern trip had been hard on 8 e e Lozl Ray Schalk's boxmen and the Ath-| R i L letics hit them hard. | A recruit pitcher, Lisenbee, whe has been doing excellent work, hel «d the Senators to their 3 to 1 vi tory over Detroit, while the Cleve- land Indians, with Pitchers Hudlin, Miller and Shaute, replaced the Browns In sixth place by taking two from the lowly Red Sox, 6 to 3 and 4to 3. Except for the Indlans, not a! western team was victorious. Even the National league leaders, the Pi-! rates, fell, and the Chicago Cubs, | who are pressing them so closely, ! went down in their first defeat in 13 | Doa starts. Their winning streak was the | longest of the season. The pleasure of breaking it fell to the Phillies who did so by 12 to| 2. "This somewhat erratic club had | an invincible day with Clarence | Mitchell granting the Cubs just six| ) hits and his mates slamming three | hurlers for 14 of their own. i As surprising was the two run rally in the ninth with which the Braves downed the Pirates by 8 to 7. Batting .600 in the game, Eddie Farrell, newly traded to the Braves, | kept up the fine work he started with the Giants. < Brooklyn accounted for the third castern victory in the day's thres| National league games by dropping the down-trodden Cincinnati Reds | by § to 3. Again Robbie’s pitching staff proved its worth, Doak winning | a duel with Pete Donohue. AMERICAN LEAGUE ST. LOUIS 3 ) 0 ) 1 0 0 0 0 0 00x—3 Un First Game. CLEVELAND AB.

First Baptist S { Everyman's ‘Bible Class Center Congregational Kensington Cong. Lutherans continued thelr victorious march in the In- ter-Church baseball last night by meting out an 8-1 thrash- ing to the South Congregational church at Willow Brook park. Tor almost six innings the game was a nip-and-tuck affair, but then the South church ran into some tough blew up, and handed the |game to the Swedes. Bill Fresen |pitched a steady and heady game {for the Swedes; Bill Darrow also did well on the mound and de- served better luck than he had. The game ended in tragedy for Darrow, for he tripped over Ray| Holst's leg in beating out a bunt] in the final inning; he took a nasty tumble and injured his own leg very badly. After both teams had failed to count in the first, Peck led off with a double and scored on Wash- i burn's single. Washburn was nailed {in an easy double play, but Spring was safe on an error and Bill Dar- {row singled. Parker singled to !right, but Spring stopped between third and home and was run down. In thefr half the Swedes filled the bases with two out and Ericson scored on a passed ball. Then came a successlon of scoreless innings, pitchers and fielders being too much for the batters. In the last of the sixth, however, two well- placed bunts and Peck’s crror on af pop fly filled the bases with nobody | down.

However, Huggins had the courage of his convictions and went through with his judgment. The action of the mite manager of the Y kees was all the more dras- tie, when you recall that Lazzeri had made his reputation in the Pacific Coust league at shortstop.

The Bay Staters have compiled a mighty impressive record since the season opened, registering a total of 12 wins out of 14 starts and are counting upon subduing the Carroll- men in the coming tilt.
