STANLEY WORKS BY DEFEATING RUSSWINS SEWS UP INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP—J OBSERVED BY FALCON BASEBALL TEAM SUNDAY AT ST. MARY’'S—Y INTENTIONAL PASS IS BOOMERANG FOR HEIMACH eak Hitter Belts Triple to Give White Sox Win Over Yankees—Tigers Down Athletics—Senators Blank Browns—Cardinals and Giants Both Score Victor- ies In National—Pittsburgh Pirates Register Slight Gain by Handing the Robins a Pasting. By the Associated Press, | PHILADELIIi1A The intentional pass m: be a R good thing in some cases—such as : H when the score is tied, and Babe Ruth is at bat—but it also may prove a boomerang. Lefty Heimach, the Yankees' newly acquired pitch- er made that discovery vesterday Heimach and Grady Adkins of the White Sox had been staging an old fashioned pitchers' tle. Babe Ruth had given the Yankees o1 run in the first with his 44th homer of the season. In the third the Whit. Sox had tied the count. Heimach weakened a hit in the eighth, letting two runs cross the plate on th i hits, but the Yanks staged a short 7 @ 2 ERleE BT rally in their half of the inning that <A netted & run and kept them in the Batted for Rommel in th picture. —Batted for Walberg in 9t Then came the tragic ninth. Bill AN L Cissell opened the inning for Chicago largiave, Thres hase with a single and advanced to sec Home run: Har ond on Berg's sacrifice. Adkins made er: Ehmke it two out with a fly. In this posi- and Guthris tion the Yankee board of strategy decided to pass Mostil and give CLEVELAND George Redfern, rated one of the AB R weak hitters of the lvague, & change cford. 1t I to make the third out. The supposed & e weak hitter, promptly confounded the strategists by leaning on the first ball pitched for a triple that sent | Cissell and Mostil across the plate and put the game safely on ice. The final count was 5 to 2 in favor of the White Sox. | With a gaping hole left in the American league line by this defeat of the leaders, the Athletics ullow- ' ed themselves to be thrown for no D gain by a group of embattled Detroit Lt Tl Tigers, led by Elam Van Gilder. AR Ny The Detroit pitcher held the Phila- | Toat, RO . delphians to nine scattered hits and ! o the Tigers wop by a 4 to 1 score. W i Thus the Athletics failed to lessen e et the difference of 4 1-2 games be- || o tween them and the league leaders. | ) In the other American league | ,”Rliiiq for Hoimann W sth games, “Sad Sam” Jones had a 2 -Run for Myer m >t stingy day and gave the Browns only leveland 0 four hits which failed to net them a Boion bk run, while the Washington batters -y iree: Nallin nd Dineen were crossing the plate three times, and Uhle did a somewhat similar feat for the Indians glving them a 2 to 1 victory over the Red Sox. | The Cardinals and the Giants in the National league reversed the Yankee-Athletic situation. Instead of losing, both won their games and St Lonis clung to its precarious 2 1- £ game lead. “Old Pete” Alexander L resumed his customary role as hero i on the mound, making his first ap- pearance after a period of illness, Alox gave the Braves only seven hits while the Cards batted out a 6 to 1 victory. Meanwhile the Giants were sceing to it that they did not fall hehind in the race by battering the Chicago Cubs all over Wrigley ficld to win 10 to 2. Five Bruin pitchers tried to stem the tide of New York hits with little suc The Giants gath- ered a total of 15 hits off their as- sorted deliveries. larry Benton did a neat job on the hill for New York, keeping 10 Chicago hits spread out and turning in his 19th victory of the season. | The race for third place in the | National league also remadned un- | changed. While the Cubs were los- | ing to the Giants, their rivals for third place, the Cincinnati Reds, dropped a game to the lowly Phil- Jes, 6 t0 4.
