They Win as Yanks Lose-Ruth
Hits 2Sth Homer-Cobb Hurt
as Tigers Drop Pair.

Blasting their way to last-minute
victory. the Indians yesterday gained
full game on the losing Yankees
and White Sox. their closest COM
petitors in the chase for the Ameri-
can League flag. The Tribe now
heads the Yanks by one and one-half
games and the Gleasonites by four
and one-haf games. The Red Sox
took double fall out of the Tigers.
After Coveleskie's weak first inning,
in which the Macks Tailed all their
runs. the Indians came to life and
hammered Moore until they won,

Ruth's twenty y-eighth homer of the
season didn't help the Yanks much,
for they were beaten by the Browns.

first ball pitched by Davis in the
second inning for the circuit and was
passed his next three times up.
The Tigers lost Cobb in addition to

Rice Still Going Strong.
Williams was figured to constitute
real menace to Rice's streak of con-
secutive hitting games. Sam set
tied the issue on his first appearance
with q perfect bunt down the third
base line, on which he reached first
almost before Weaver got the ball
to raise his string to twenty-nine
straight.

him to resort to strategy. however,
as his biff to center in the third was
a clean-cut affair and there was no
mistake. in the genuineness of the crack
that netted him the circuit of the
bases in the eighth. AS a result of his
perfect day at bat Rice boosted his
average six points and now is firmly
intrenched in the first five hitters in
the league with a mark of 1863
Milan's single in the NTH raised
his total of hits for the season to the

Including Mondays contest, nine
games have been played in the second
series. Shops, as has been said before,
mas yet to meet defeat, while Southern
is running close second with four wins
and one loss. Union Station and Elec-
tricians are trailing, Duplicating their
early season record. Shops and South
ern are much stronger than either of the
other two clubs In fact. there is really
no comparison between the two leaders
and the clubs bringing up the rear.
Brown Is Leading Pitcher.
Brown of Shops is the leading pitcher
of the league. The Southpaw twirler
has yet to be defeated, his latest victory
having been won Monday. Kagle. an
other southpaw, gave the Shops nine a
good start as he took three or four
straight at the beginning of the opening
half of the schedule Hilton and Lewis
are others doing slab duty.
Vlrnstine, long rated as one of the
best amateur hurlers in the District, has
pitched one game for Shops in the see-
ond series, but there is some question
about his eligibility. During the first
series Virnstine pitched for Southern
but recently was transferred to the
Shops and joined the nine representing
that department. IL he is declared eligi-
BILE to finish the season with Shops he
will he another big reason why the lead
ers should capture the pennant. With
Virnstine added to the already good
hurling staff possessed by Shops there
is likely to be nothing to it." Southern
would have an uphill battle with Virn-
stine pitching for it. but with him in the
ranks of the rival club it's outlook is
much worse.
Shops infield is one of the best on
