TANKS WIN SIX OUT SEVEN TILTS Tigers Grab Four Of Six: Reds Make The Best
 Record

NEW YORK, April 27.-Bludgeoning their way in the manner which earned the worlds championship last season, the New York Yankees won six of seven contests in the American league last week, and with today's victory, climbed to within half game of the top.
 Lacking the killing fire of the Yankee bats, the Giants, playing every situation for its full value, won four of five con tests and enjoyed 8 full game lead in the National league after today's vic tory over Brooklyn.
 The Cincinnati Reds made the best National league record of the week. Five consecutive wins shot them into first place for day, but yesterdays defeat by the Pirates and today's set back by St. Louis stopped their fighting charge.
 Connie Mack's young Athletics were the American league counterpart of the Reds. Timely hitting returned them winners in four of six low-score games, but the Yankee juggernaut crushed their hopes today.
 Detroit fought It's way to four vic tories in six starts and by rallying to beat Chicago today, held first place at the beginning of the weeks battle.
 The other American league teams, with the exception of Boston, which did not win a game, hit solidly and split their games as fortune turned. Hitting in the National league was lighter, but fielding was better. Pittsburg and St. Louis, drawing the short ends of many hard-fought games, finished the week with the poorest averages but made more hits than the other teams.

NEW BUILDING MOVE
 COMES UP AT SMOKER
Fine Program Arranged And Business And
 Pleasure Both Have Inning

A call has been issued by the Bir- mingham Athletic club for a meeting of it's membership in its entirety for Wednesday night, April 30. At this meeting the future of the club will be put in the balance and an open dis cussion of proposed expansion policies will be held.
 There has been on foot for something nigh onto year a movement for the erection of a greater athletic club builtl- ing. The apex of the movement has evolved around three or four men who see things in a big way and the basic reason for the meeting this week is to vest in these men, or reject them, as the carse may be, authority to proceed with their policy of expansion for the club. If the members gathered at the meet ing see fit to accept the work done by the men then the sky is clear for the furtherance of the building project.
 Cobbs, Schultz and Streit Lead
 Sometime last fall Herbert l.. Cobbs, Ray Schultz and 0. W. Streit. Jr. were given authority by the membership of the club to act in an official capacity in laying the plans for the new build- ing. However, it is now found neces- sary that the proxy should be renewed with the date of April 30. By this action the men who are working on the project will be free to act in an official capacity for the club.
 As to just what will be done in the matter of new building or plans for such President Herbert Cobbs said Sun day night that there had been no of flc1al announcement made in the mat ter. Reports of plans for a building in the city were without official basis

NEW YORK, April 27.-(By Associat- ed Press.)-Western track and field stars showed to better advantage than eastern rivals in the first important outdoor tests of the 1924 season, having a bearing on Olympic prospects, it was revealed today by a comparison of the marks at the Drake relays, at Des Moines, Iowa, and the Pennsylvania yesterday.

 PHILADELPHIA, April 2I.-A man who travels, sees some interesting sights. The British athletes who came all the way across the ocean to run in the Penn Relay Carnival, glimpsed some of the fleetest heels in the world in the second and final day of the carnival program. They return home without having won a single event on either day, but they have seen many heels.
 The Britons ran in two sprints and the medley Friday and the 100-yard dash and distance relay Saturday. The Cambridge team in the two-mile relay race Saturday, finished third, and Eric Liddell, the Scot from the University of Edinburgh, was fourth in the 100- yard dash.
 They saw Boston college smash the world record in the two-mile event, establishing a new mark of 7:47 3-5, in order to beat Georgetown, whose anchor

 American observers at the track were considerably heartened by the work of the Britons.- Assuming that the British runners were at their best and doing their best, the Americans fore saw that they would not have much to fear from the British runners in the Olympic games, for these men are said to be the best in their country.

British Golf Champion Squares Match And
 Finishes 5 And 4

NEW YORK, April 27.--Arthur Hav- CTS, British open champion, defeated Gene Sarazen, American professional champion. by five up and four to play fin their 72-hoie golf match which was concluded at the West Chester Biltmore Country club today. Sarazen led by three up at the end of 36 holes which were played at Philadelphia Saturday.

 Havers Plays We'll
 Havers' play today was a decided con- trast to the brand of golf displayed by the American titleholder. Havers was on top of the pin in almost every shot, driving straight down the course and generally landing on the green son his approach. Sarazen was cratic from the start. His drives were short, his approaches either right or left of the pin and on the greens his butts often went past the hole.
 Hayers' card contained four birdies fin his morning round, and one in his aft ernoon round in addition to numerous pars. Sarazen had two birdies but more frequently was a stroke over par.
