(By Associated Press)

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-Cleveland got
4 step nearer american League pen
nant, defeating ST. Louis 9 to 5, and
increasing the lead over Chicago, the
runner up, to full game.
1t was the third consecutive defeat
administered to St. Louis by the con-
tenders.
1t was the thirtieth victory Bagby
has turned in this year, and although
hit freely, he managed to keep them
scattered with the exception of two
innings.
Local fans presented George Sisler
with silver service as a mark of ap-
preciation for his work and the popu-
lar Brown responded in the sixth with
a homer to the paviliin in right field
for the 249th hit of the campaign, es-
tabishing a new American League rec
ord to supplant that of Tv Cobb, who
made 24S safeties in 1911. In the
eighth inning Sisler made it $50 with
long triple.
