THREE CORNERED RACE FOR HONORS M THE AMERICAN
Browns, Tanks and Tigers Battling For Top Honors.
 National League Race

New York, June 25.--The pennant hunt in the American circuit has de- veloped into a spectacular three club affair
 The St. Louis Browns. breaking even in four games with Detroit, as Ii result Of today's shutout victory, in- creased their margin to three and a half games over the second-p place Yankees. who were idle today. and to four and half games over the battling Tigers. The Giants, by win ming from Boston, retained their lead of five games over St. Louis and five and half over Brooklyn, both of whom kept pace with the leaders by winning.
 YanIks in Slump
 The Yankees continued in the throes of the dismal slump that cost them their leadership and has jeopar- dized even their hold on second place in the face of the Tigers rush Brac- ing momentarily against Cleveland. the Hugmen dropped four straight to the Red Sox and have now lost i2 out of their last If games. The teams hitting and pitching both have been woefully weak and is about due for a brace that should put the New ] Ol htIS udtk III tue TuHIliHB+
 The Browns, with Williams and Sisler leading a terrific attack, and fortified by steady pitching, win be hard to displace. while ny Cobb has his outfit hitting a dangerous pace.
 Tigers Very Much in Race

 Taking four games in a row from Cleveland. the Chicago White Sox hays gained hold on fourth place. while the Indians have dropped into sixth place, below Washington.
 Rain played havoc with the Ma tional league schedule early in the week, the Cincinnati Reds supplying tho outstanding feature by taking three straight including today's game. from Pittsburg, and climbing to fourth place.
 Loose fielding was largely re- sponsible for the Giants reverses. Brooklyn took two out of three games from the leaders, and. with the Pirates in slump. hoped into third place, which they held today by a margin of two and a half games.
 Cards Recover Form
 The Cardinals recovered their bat ting eyes today after dropping two in row to the Chicago Cubs. De- spite the reverse the Cubs gained a slight advantage over the Pirates. with whom they had been tied in a battle for fifth place.
