AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE In NUTSHELL

The Athletics captured two
games from the Maps. In the
second, Pitchers Demott and
Mitchell were found for 10 safe
ties, yet only seven runs were
made. The scoring was cut down
by reckless base running. The
Athletics had seven two base
hits. Two victories In one day
Increased their lead materially.
Well, we'll. the Browns took an
other game fsom Boston. Boston
had eight hits and ST. Louis six,
but the Browns made theirs count

would make many a lively youngster
green with envy.
Then baseball fortunes had their
way and II was the indicator for Van
Haltren. That may be the reason why
he is inclined TO resent the fact that
the scorers held him out of the glory
OF 10 years service among those
baseball aristocrats who bat In the

AMERICAN LEAGUE HOLDS
POLITE MEN OF BASEBALL

Is the umpire stan OF the American
league so much superior TO that OF
the National, or are the American
league players just naturally more
amenable to decisions? One thing is
plain to everybody who attends games
in both leagues, and that is there is
considerably less kicking In the Amer
lean. There rave been cases too nu-
merous to mention of players being
fired OF the field and suspended in
the National league this year. while
such cases in the American can be
counted on the fingers OF one hand.
