Joe Hauser Rit his sixth homer of the campaign. Bing Miller also kieked in with on Each of these came with two on the paths. While tha Mackmen were collecting 19 hits, old Jack Quinn held the Browns to six. Bob Fothergill led the Detroit | Tigers to a 10-inning victory over the senators at Washington, 6 to 5. Bob got three hits, two of them dou- bles, scored one run and drove in three more. The Boston Red Sox returned to the league cellar by dropping a 9 to 3 battle to the Chicago White Sox. Ted Blankenship held Carrigan's erew to slx hits and never was in trouble. The Red Sox, after several weeks of splendid flelding perfor- mances, made six errors, one going to Bill Regan, second baseman, his first bobble of the season, The New York Giants tightened their hold on first place in the Na- tional league by downing Ray Kremer and the Pirates at Pitts- burgh, 5 to 4. The Glants shelled Kremer for nine hits and all their runs In 8 1-3 innings. Fred Fussell, a southpaw, was a great puzzle thereaftcr. Fred Fitzsimmons was fairly liberal with hits but had enough to keep the Pirates from | tying the score. The St. Louis Cardinals advanced into third place by sinking the hap- less Phillies again, 5 to 4. An eighth-inning rally netting three runs turned the trick. Blades' bat- ting featured the Cardinals’ fourth straight victory. The Cardinals an- | neunced later in the day that Bob Q'Farrell, star catcher and manager of the club in 1926, had been traded to the Giants for George Harper, veteran outfielder, A wild tenth-nning saw the Ros- ton Braves beat the Reds at Cin- | cinnati, 7 to 6. With the score tied at three-all, the Braves reached Carl | Mays for four hits and four runs. | The Brooklyns conldn't play hail | at Chicago because of rain but that | didn’t prevent Manager Robinson from fining Jess Petty. one of the league's best left-handers, $200 and suspending lim indefinitely.
