YANKS FIND
OTHER TEAMS
CLOSING IN
New YOrk'S 1O-Game Lead Of
Few Weeks Ago Is Now
Cut to 81, Games

The New York Yankees, who par
AIDED 10 games ahead Of the American
league pack a few weeks ago, today
felt the hot breath Of a desperate
spring by Connie Mack's Athletics to
close the diminishing gap between
the two clubs.
The margin was shortened TO 5'2
games yesterday with a double bar
relied victory by Philadelphia over
st. Louis while the Hugmen were
barely escaping defeat at the hands
Of the Tigers. Third inning batting
rallies accounted for both Mackian
triumphs, the first ) to and the
second to 4.
The Athletics now have won IL of
their last II games as against five
out Of IL for the Yankees. Ehmke
obtained recently from Boston in a
trade, finally has come through to
support the mound efforts of Lefty
Grove and Eddie Rommel, the forme I
Hub pitcher yesterday turning in one
Of his best performances. He allow
ed the Browns only six scattered hits.
Ruth Leads Rally
Babe Ruth led the Yankees sue
ccssful ninth inning stand against
the C0bbmen. which started "A three
run rally to turn the tide in favor

Combs. Lazzeri's triple and Dugans
single did the rest.
in the only other American league
game. Levsen outpitched Walter
Johnson to blank the Senators, 3 to O.
Smuggling bees developed in two Ma
iional league conflicts, with the
Robins hammering five st. Louis
pitchers for an to victory, and
the Pirates outslugging the Braves
D to Z.
Wilbert Robinson's warfare with
his pitching staff reached Husky Jess
Petty yesterday. Jess was suspend
ed indefinitely for alleged neglect OF
training rules.
Seven runs in the second inning

New York. July II. tp,- The
worlds light heavyweight ring crown.
joltet from championship heads five
times in the last six years. found u
new resting place today atop the
hands ONE countenance III Jack De-
laney of Bridgeport, Conn. whose
real name is Chapdelaine ovila.
A sensational victory under the
unanimous decision Of the Judges
brought tire rowing diadem TO Delaney
before Il capacity fhrong III $4,000
which paid $4,000 to see The rivals
Of two years standing srappie at
Ebbet. Field for the ..ird time.
Verdict Popular
The verdict for Delaney, who only
seven months before had failed to
lift the championship crown from
his rugged rival, was as popular as
only such a victory could be for u
ring warrior who's had gathered
around him probably the greatest
following Of any challenger since
the days Of Knockout Brown. And
it came as fandom likes its heroes
crowned-wi:h spectacular rally IN
the last five rounds of the i5round
struggle after Berlenbach appeared
to be closing in to duplicate the pow
erful finish he made last December
against Delaney.
Delaney's impressive exhibition Of
ring craft. punching power and STAN
ina was Il conquest of more than Il
stout hearted, iron armed gladiator
Of the old pugilistic school. 1t was
triumph over 4 tremendous weight
advantage. surmounted despite the
fracturing Of small bone in his
left thumb during the second round.
While officially the weight Of
Bcrlenbach was recorded a. lT4li and
that Of Delaney was lGGia, postpone
mcnt Of the fight one day because Of
rain actually gave the defending title
holder a margin Of II pounds over
his opponent. When they entered the
ring Berlenbach tipped the scales at
ISL. six pounds over his class limit,
while the challenger's mark was put
at lG9.
Point Margin Decisive
Delaney's margin on points was de-
cislve, in the estimation of critics at
the ringside. Up until the last five
rounds. however, there was little 80
choose between them, as the big add
vantage Of the challenger in the early
rounds faded before the logged, de-
termined attack of the champion i'm
the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.
Delaney opened with sensational
rally in the llth. sending Il thrill
through the throng by driving a ter
rifle smash to the pit Of the cham
pions stomach. That blow turned
the tide Of battle. Delaney had APP
peared to be firing under the sledge
hammer body punches Of Berlenbach,
but at this point he stepped forth
with renewed vigor. to pummel the
title-holdcr with lightning lcfts and
rights.
Delaney repeatedly. in the last five
rounds, nailed Berlenbach on the
jaw with his famous right, and once.
in the l4th, it appeared rs If the
passing champion would crunlple.
But Berlenbach, who was knocked
out two years ago in four rounds by
Delaney and who was floored in their
second battle last winter. weathered
the storm Of punches without going
down.
The dethroned king held his title
