INDIANS TAKE FOUR
OUT OF FIVE GAMES
Lead Americans by Half a
Game---Dodgers Ahead
in Nationals

New York, July 13.-Showing that
nothing is impossible to team with a
fighting head, the Cleveland Indians
have taken four out of five games from
the New York Yankees on the Yankee
grounds since Sunday and today lead
the league by the scant margin of half
game.
On paper the Yanks should have fat
tened at the expense of the Forest City
club swingers. They had eight pitch
ers all ready for action-Clevelan had
but three of its consistent winners in
shape. The Yanks were up and coming
strong while Cleveland, leading most of
the time since the opening of the sea-
son, was supposed to have been pretty
well shot But they were far from it.
In the National, the Dodgers, lead
ing the league, have been losing ground
and today hold their place by but three
games as against four and one-half on
Monday
The Phillies and the Braves are still
having their merry battle for second
place, with the honors going to Pat
Moran and his men by game and one
half. The Cubs have been pushed from
fourth to sixth place, New York and
Pittsburg each moving up notch.
Hard on the heels of the Donovan
crew in the American are red hose out
fit. The White Sox and Senators, Tig-
ers, Browns and Athletics remain un-
changed in the standings and prospects.
