AWFUL SLUMP HITS TIGERS,
 THEY SPLIT DOUBLE HEADER
Indians Temporarily Kill Their Chances For First Place Browns Trim ChisOx - Giants Cubs and Robins Win in National League.

New York, June oA.--Tris speaker $ American Indians continue to throw tomAlawks with telling effect from their dugout in seventh place into the skirmishes at the top of the league.
 Detroit, maintaining an endless vigil at the door to frs. place had one hand on the knob as thes Yankees slept yesterday but shower of hatchets buried them under a 16-5 score in the first game. Cobb trotted out a collegian for the second contest to face the rampaging team which had taken 10 Of 14 games from the east While the Indians laughed. Wells Of Bethany college and Birm- ingham, held them to six hits and won 8 to 2.
 No eastern teams played in the Stadium yesterday but the Yankees and Red sox will be at the Stadium today. Detroit, 10 points behind New York, can move into the lead if they are able to paralyze the arms Of the hatchet-throwers
 The St. Louis Browns stepped back into the first division by coming from behind to beat the White Sox, to :, after the latter had batted Van Glider for four runs in the initial session. Eight hurlers served. Ken Williams made his 18th home run of the year and his third Of the week.
 The situation around the top Of the National league was unchanged as tho Giants, Cubs. and Robins favored by splendid pitching beat the Braves, Phil'ies and Reds. The Pirates and Cardinals were not scheduled.
 Virgil Barnes maintained the re- gently discovered brilliance of the Giant pitching staff by beating Boston { to i. He was the fifth consecutive New York hurler who finished the game he started. Behind the un- expected work of their boxmen the Giants batters continue to coast to victory
 Dazzy Vance tops the hurlers Of the league with ten victories in twelve starts following his 3 to l de- oision over Mays and May Of Gin einnati. Vance famed seven and ran his string to s5 in the last four games he has pitched. Wingo joined the Red hospital list when he was hit on the arm by pitched ball.
 Elmer Jacobs won q 10 inning duel with Jimmy Ring Of the Phillics by a ] te 1 verdict. The victory kept the Cubs within one and one-haif games of the Giants

OLD Ell WINNER IN INITIAL CONTEST
Yale Crews Capture Preliminary
 From Harvard

New London. June 20.-It was first blood for Yale in the annual Yale Harvard regatta on the Thames river when the Blue combination crew late yesterday nosed out Harvard's eight cared combination over a two mile course upstream, winning the prelim- mary to the main program which will be contested today.
 Yesterdays event. although consid- cred of minor importance in the an- nual series, was one of the most closely contested struggles in the his- tory of racing at New London. Yale was ahead at the mile: Harvard spurted and went into the final half mile nearly a boat length ahead. The Blue eight, stroked by II. c. Potter of New York, crept up abreast, and by a desperate effort in the last 20 strokes finished q winner by fols feet. The time was Il rlinutes. IS seconds. The Crimson crew was stroked by B. Scudder of Chicago.
 Speculation as to the issue of to- days four mile test between Yales strong crew and Harvard's new and
 
 last night as the headquarters of tsc crews and wherever Yale and Har- yard graduates were assembled on the eve of the races. In the last week the chances of the Crimson have been given greater weight by observers along the Thames.
 Head Coach Edward Stevens has evolved a fair crew from a weak early season segregation, the experts say. Another element cited as favor ing Harvard is the unique experiment Coach Ed. Leader of Yale has at tempted this season in breaking off his crews training for a four mile race in order to ce-s'te in the Olym- pic tryouts at Philadelphia over the mile and one quarter distance.

By the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI, Ohio. September 27.-
Mrs. Francis D. Rawson, II years old
widow of Warren RaWson. nationally
known pork packer and prominent in
society. was shot and killed in her
palatial home here last night. The
police Immediately started a search
for her son-in-law. Vinton Perrin.
flour miller, who ran from the house
after the shooting and disappeared
Miss Nina Rawson. daughter of the
dead woman, was shot twice, but not
seriously injured. Her sister, Jose
phine, escaped by fleeing from the
home. Perrin is so years old.
Mrs. Debora Perrin, wife of the
missing man and daughter of the
dead woman. said her husband left
their home in the evening with a
handbag and overcoat. intending to
visit indianapolis, where he had
started d flour mill. She said her
cause of his need for financial assist
ance in making the Indianapolis
business venture a success. '''
AS he opened the door he met his
son, Nfnton, jr., to whom he said:
You'll never sec me again. I'm GO
ing to Indianapolis" With these re-
marks he left the house, with his
handbag and overcoat. Mrs. Perrin
told the police that before he left
they had talked over his dire finan-
cial condition, after which she had
admonished him to be careful.

must bear your name in life" Mrs
Perrin said she told him. Don't dc

said he accused her mother and sister
of attempting to make his wife a
slave to a bunch of bum college

Without another word Miss Raw

her which lodged in her neck and
then turned the gun on her mother
who was shot in the chest. The third

shoulder. Her sister Josephine mean
