Faber Bests Shocker in Pitching Duel-Ahletics Top pie Detroit Twice - Senators Outht St. Louis Browns-Pittsburgh Takes Beating From Phillies - Chicago Downs Dodgers - Giants Have Small Margin Over Cardinals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 It was a blue Monday for the league-leading New York Yankees, for they were victims of an inter- Urban clash between Faber of the White Sox and shocker of New York.
 Eleven straight victories had come to the men of Miller Huggins until they faced Chicago and Urban the Red-yesterday. It ap- peared that this Faber had been kept in ignorance of the Yankees noble ideas and the fact that they sought to establish another record winning streak such as the sweet sixteen" they put together early in the season.
 So at the end of eleven he halted them. to 1, permitting only six safeties The other Urban did about as well, granting six in seven frames, but perhaps was unfortun- ate in that three of them came to- gether for the winning two runs in the fourth.
 
 signs of taking up the chase, top pied Detroit twice, 6 to and 10 to 1. The first contest was an im- mense conquest for the veteran Howard Ehmke, who gave the Tygers just three singles. Rube Wall bert and Left Grove scattened ten blows in the second offering, Man ush's eleventh homer of the season giving Detroit it's only run.
 Ossie Bluege, seldom among the long distance hitters, drove out a homer in the ninth with two on base to record a victory for Wash ington over St Louis in slugfest, 14 to 10. Ken Williams of the Browns registered his twelfth cir cult punch of the year.
 Pittsburgh accepted beating from Philadelphia, 8 to while Cin- cinnati was idle. The Pirates there by retaining the lead of one and one | half games.

 Chicago brought the Brooklyn | Dodgers back to tie for fourth place by downing them, to 1, with an attack led by the former Cleve- flanders, Riggs Stephenson. Brook lyr had climbed into the all-west, or first division of the National on Sunday. .
 The New York Giants to ? | margin over the Cardinals seems to | be the story of Al Tyson, outfielder from Louisville now with the | Giants.

Tennis Champion Decides to Give Up Her Amateur Standing

Paris, Aug. 3 tT1-Suzanne Leng- len,~ the worlds champion woman tennis player will make a four months tour of the United States during the coming fall--as a pro- fesSional.
 The spectacular French girl star at last has given in to the persua- sion of Charles s. Pyle, an Ameri- can sports promoter, and has agreed to give up her amateur standing and play in matches from Maine to California and also In Canada, Mexi- co and Cuba.
 Mir. Pyle in anouncingt that Suzanne had signed a contract with him, said she would sail September F and begin playing in the United Stotes some time around October 10. The contests in which she will take part, 1t is expected, will be

played mainly on covered courts.
 She will have some of the best tennis players in the world as op- ponents in exhibition matches" said Mir. Pyle when asked who would be chasen to meet the French flash.
 He was of the opinion that like golf, tennis should be on a plane where the open championship theory should prevail. In addition to play ing tennis Suzanne will be starred in film picture which Mir Pyle said vii Include "a tennis match and will be under my supervision"
 Suzanne, according to MT. Pyle, signed the contract for her tour of the United States at Pourvile last Saturday, with the consent of Pa" Lenglen and Ma" Lenglen. The father, owing to illness will not &C., company his daughter. She will be attended by Mime. Lenglen, and a maid.
 The departure of Suzanne the Peerless from the ranks of anna teurism has made a considerable stir. Many persons doubt that she has taken the step. The feature of the French girls American trip. which most appeals 10 the imagina- ton is her compensation, translated into francs. "A Million a Month" reads one newspaper caption today
 Although Mir. Pyle has declined to give out figures, newspapers aver or estimate that the racquet queens earnings on the tour will be from S1O0,000 to s200,000
