YANKS AND INDIANS
ONE GAME APART.
Races in Both Leagues Are Get
ting Tighter, With 3-Game
Difference in National
AS ON THE SLIDING BOARD


is getting to be humdinger. The
week end survey reveals the fact that
this morning one full game separates
the worlds champion Cleveland from
the New York Yankees. Each scored
a win on Saturday, but yesterday iris
and his team suffered n keen humili
alton at the hands Of Zeb Zachary and
his Washington pals.
In all thirteen runs crossed the plat
ter out in the Forest City, while the
best the Indians could make was two.
In the meantime Tyrus Raymond Cobb
and his tanned Tigers were making a
futile effort to stop the Ruth nine and
the Yanks triumphed. 3 to 3. Gotham
was recorded as being extremely well
pleased after the week end.
In the National the crucial series be-
tween the Giants and the Pirates as
sumed the even stephen state OF affairs,
the former winning with ease on Sat
urday and losing in ten hectic frames
yesterday. The standing this morning
records a three game difference, the
same as existed before hostilities
started over in New York.
Daddy Cutshaw's triple in the tenth
with two Of his pals on the sacks made
| the fans in Smoketown extremely happy.
Hamilton was the responsible lad, while
Cecil Algcrnon Causev. late of these
parts. was the losing party. Red as
sumed the task of winning from the
Pirates in the ninth inning All went
with two down. Causey weakened and
the pesky Buccaneers lambasted him
for enough to secure the victory.
Woe to Us!
While the fans in New York. Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh are being held
hreathless by the important part their
teams are playing. right here in Phila-
delphia the fans held their breath sew
cral times on Saturday and Sunday and
each time as they came up for air they
found things weren't just right.
On Saturday Baby Doll jacobson
sockeed home run off the, delivery Of
Handsome Eddie Rommel that gave
the Browns the onc-run margin to win
a 40 game. The Browns deserved that
fracas, for the best the Mackmen could
do against Dixie Davis was five hits.
Yesterday the double reverse was ap-
palling. Both Rollie Naylor and our
best southpaw bet, Roy Moore, were
defeated. Two big innings. one in each
game. when the Browns pelted the
sphere for four runs on each occasion,
tell the tale. Even a hectic homer by
Joe Dugan failed TO turn the tide in
the second contest.
Hats on to Peters
Jack Peters. Of the Phillies. is eligible
to the home run hitters' club. He proved
the right to have no blackbals placed
against him when he slammed one Of
AdOlpho LlQue's best bets within three
rows Of Lehigh avenue in the ninth in
ming. Two were out and the bases were
as arid as is Thirteenth and SAMSON
streets these days when Mr.. Peters made
his hectic clout. 1t was the knockout
wallop TO thrilling game and was a
pleasant aftermath to weird first
game. Wilbur Hubbell was hurting in
the form that makes him q feared
pitcher at times, and had his support
been alright in the first inning he
would have won without the need of a
ninth inning home run. He had much
the better Of the hurling with Napier
and Luque.
Rixey Still Good
Eppa RiSey. once a home son, south
paved his wav to an easy win in, the
first set-to, making the Phils look fool
ish at times with his change of pace.
George Smith had little hard luck
early in the game, but he was pelted
rather lively when hits meant runs.
Delaware Walter Belts. after a long
rest after an operation from appendi-
citis. twirled for two innings and did
well considering
Chicago and Boston in the American
split even over the week end. the White
Sox being drubbed 10 to 0, while yes
terday they came back and blanked the
Gleasonites. l to 0.
The Boston Braves winning streak
was burst in the first game of their
double header with the Cards on Sat
urday. after it had reached eight. The
second contest. however. went to the
Nitchmen, Joe Oeschger doing the hurl-
ing.
The Cubs won twice and lost once in
the three games with the Brooklyn
Dodgers over the week end.
