Ire big crowd that witness d the game were well repaid, as it was full of thrills and sensational baseball Rl the way through. Brilliant catches by Bud Sharpe and Foley, both center 5elders. wonderful stops and throws by Trauske and Dresser, both shortstops i; Mjllz' sensational hitting in the pinches were the features of the game.
 Mills was responsible for all of Taft Fiiles runs. in the sixth he drove Dresser home with a single over third. and in the ninth. with the bases full and two out. he laced crashing dou- hle over Smiths head, clearing the bases, and scoring himself a nomnet later. on Fentons wild pitch. This was the climax Of great game between two good teams.
 The Red Tops were all that was said About them. a great ball club. Consid- erable credit is due Mike Morin. as he tWirled great game, holding the hard hitting FislIs to three hits. which is the least number of hits they have been held to for two seasons. The visitors scored one fn the sixth inning, when G-eenhslgh doubled to right, advanced 10 third on Smiths out and scored on sharpe's sacrifice.

American race, Cleveland gained a half game by defeating Detroit, while the Yankees remained idle on account of rain.
 In the National League, Pittsburgh. in losing 10 games out of 13 up to Sat- urdaS had scored only 8 runs to it's oponent's 61. In the same period New York won 10 games and lost 8. Last week the Pirates suffered three shut outs. St Louis continued it's onward rush by taking three straight games from the Pirates. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, their spurt started too late in the season. Boston has re- covered from it's bad slump and seems determined to hold on to first divis- ion berth. Like the Pirates Brooklyn's good pitching is accompanied by light stick work. Cincinnati and Philadelphia are setting an even pace. With the ex, ception of Alexander, Chicagos pitch CTS are doing none too well. In the American League. the New York twirlers, are excelling their Cleve land rivals. The Yankees appear wei fortified in Mays, Hoyt. Shawkey ant Harper, who did splendid work in tn, ! Washington series. The Indian mounds men frequently require aid. The win ] ming streak of St. Louis has been help ed greatly by the good tw;rling O l Shocker and Bayne.
 Washington has lost nine straight { games and the improved play of Bostol
 may enable the Red Sox to oust tfl Senators from fourth place. Detroit showed strength in the Cleveland SC
 ries. Chicago and Philadelphia havl
 been unable to make use of their mar hits.

 In spite of the defeat the Kaceys do not relinauish their candidacy for the championship. They will have to be beaten mare decisively to admit them selves infer.e- to Wilimantic. Another game with the same lineups would draw a fine crowd

 In the last of the fourth, Jim Me Carthy, Q Singer player, was credited with a hit to right which might have been caught with fairly fast fielding or sacrificed him to second.
