YANKEES APPEAR TO BE ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE New York Team Is Smothered by Cleveland—Athletics Chalk Up Another Win at St. Louis—Boston Red Sox Trim Tigers—White Sox and Senators Split— Reds Turn Back Brooklyn Dodgers — Giants and Chicago Divide Twin Bill at Polo Grounds. Something has struck the proud Yankee craft, bow, stern and amid- ship. She's still afloat but leaking badly and may go down at any min- ute. A month ago the champions were leading the American league proc: sion by more than a dozen games. Today that lead has dwindled to six and a half games. Taking heart at this unexpected collapse upon the part of the naughty New Yorkers, Connie Mack rushed his adelphia Athletics along at a whirl- wind pace and again has hopes of realizing his long-deferrcd ambition sax, stted for tor Ma—Batted Ratted iia Wit Braung Mo st Two ult base oHme Ogden Time: 1 it runs.

At Cleveland yesterday, The kees suffered the most humiliating defeat they have taken since 1¢ when they ended the season in sev- enth place. The were annihilated by the Cleveland Indians, 24 to 6, in the wildest major league game of the year. The Indians started out with eight runs in the first inning, decided that wouldn't he enough and scored nine more in the second. By | this time the tribe was more tired | running bases than the Yankees were chasing singles that hopped all over the lot. Oné run was the best the Indians could do in the third and they waited until the sixth in- ning to score the last six. As near a8 could be determined, the pitching victims were, in order, George Pip- gras, Wilcy Moore, Myles Thomas. Henry Johnson and Archie Camp- bell. For some reason or other Mil- ler Huggins didn't pitch nor did he call Babe Ruth to the mound either in an attempt to stop the carnage. | The Indians pounded out 27 hits and batted around twice in each of the, first two innings. It was on June 17 1925 that the Yanks last were de- feated by an 1S-run margin. The Detroit Tigers turned the trick by a score of 19 to 1. While all this was going on, the Athletics were chalcking up another win at St. Louis, taking over the Browns for the seventh straight time, 8 to 3. The Browns dropped ' five straight at Philadelphia at the end of their recent eastern invasion, George Earnshaw was wild but ef. fective enough to down the Browns | béhind heavy batting by . his team- mates, particularly Jimmy Foxx, who pounded out a home run, double and a single and drove four. runs. Afterilosing six in a row, the Bos- ton Red Sox piled into Lil Stoner for four, runs in the second enough to beat the Detroit Tige 5to 2, 3 After losing their seventh straight contest in the first game, the Chi- cago White Sox came back to beat half of a double bill. Ted Lyons was the Washington Senators in the las ineffective in the opener and the senators .pounded out an 8 to 3 vic- tory. Adkins was in form in the nightcap and the Sox ended their long string of reverses with a 5 to 1 triumph In the National league, the Cincin- nati Reds strengthened their hold on second place by turning back the Brooklyn Dodgers. 6 to 5.

After the balls had been stopped by Plainville for the final outs of the game it was found that tne Falcons had scored 10 runs on 19 gmashing hits while Plainville was unable to put across a man over the plate % “Leity” Atwood was on the mound tor the Falcons and pitched them to their eighth straight win and their 10th win in.13 starts.

So far ahead o1 the Plain- Ville Lutters was he that not a single Visiting batter had the expericnce of gelting to second base. In every irring of the game on'y three bat. ters faced Atwood excep: in the fourth when an error by Klatka al. lowed a fourth batter to face him, Incidently this was the first ever made by the locals in seven games, Meanwhile the Falcons found the offerings of Plainville's star twirler, Nudack. without any trouble and Lounded hits 80 often thut the scorer had to use two peucits to keep up with them.

T®o games in the Inter-Church league—the two which were or. iginally carded for Friday night— will be played at Willor Brook park - this evening. They were moved ahead by -courtesy of the South Congregational and Trinity Methodist teams, which found no opponents awaiting them Friday, and -instead of taking forfeits, set the games ahead: and played each other then instead of this_evening. On Diamond No. 1 the Stanley Memorial nine will meet the South church. The Stanmors do not figure to take so important a part in this half of the race as in the first, but they are-still dangerous. while the South church is making a bid for the sectional title and is tied with the First Lutherans for first place, The Trinity Methodists and Swe. dish Bethany team will play on Diamond No. 2. The Methodists have a ‘much improved team and battled the South church to the last ditch Friday night, while the Swedes still have the combination which upset so many of the leading teams in the early season. 0. e e o eSS R S Sport ST LG K s },\_ Gow' To Te L Your I'LtL GIY my Ma T BIG BROTHER By BRIGGS AFTER You.
