Baserunning may be a lost art in modern baseball but it has been used to win two games in the Amer- ican league. “Bucky” Harris stole home in the | tenth inning against Cleveland ves- | terday and enabled the Senators to win their sixth straight from the In- | dians, 3-2. Bill Barrett's daring thievery in the ninth won for th Chicago White Sox against Boston, 7-6.

P s o The Yankees drubbed the Detroit Tigers, S-5 in the last of the six game serics. Lou Gehrig went into a tie with Babe Ruth for the home | run leadership by slamming the ball out of the park in the seventh in- | ning. Gehrig's wallop was the ninth | of four-base proportions in the seric —a serie that produced more base hits and saw the downfall of more pitchers than any other this vear.

South Cong. Trinity M. E Center Cong. Kensington Long The South Congregatlonal church practically eliminated the Stanley Memorial team from the Inter- Church baseball league race by meling out to it a wicked 14-0 de- feat at Willow Brook park last night in a one-sided contest. The Stanmors, weakened by dissension within the ranks, presented a rearranged line- up and the South church ewept it off its feet before it could find its bal- ance. Wilton Morey pitched a fine | game, limiting the Stanmor sluggers to three singles. Only 24 men faced Morey, four of the reached first, and two got to second, the furthest any Stanley Memorial player was able to go. He received almost perfect sup- port. After the Stanmors had gone out in order in the first, Morey beat out a hit to short, sacrificed to sec- ond by Parker, and scored when enson dropped the throw on This was the signal for a fusillade of hits and cullection of errors, and four runs were scored. The second inning was cven wilder, ¢ight men crossing the plate. Spring, Morey and Parker batta1 twice in this frame, and each hit safely both times. After that inning the losers settled down and held the South church until the sixth, when Ham- my Darrow tripled with a man on base and scored on a passed ball: horstenson was the only mor who threatened to scere. He led off in the second with hit, but Morey picked him off first. With one down in the seventh he was safe on Rarta’s fumble and made second on the play, but Iverson and Carl Ritt- ner were easy out pring had a perfect day at bat with three out of three, end Morey got three, one for two lases, out of feur.
