that resulted in his being charged
with the loss of the game. When
Lamar bounded a single off Judges

run and Galloway, running for Collins,
who had been first to face the relief
pitcher. followed with the marker
that put the As in front.
That was not all. Cobb rifled a liner
to right and Rice, instead of playing
the rap safely. rushed in for n shoe
string catch. Sam fell and the drive
went for a triple, scoring Bishop and
Lamar. When Simmons. up for the
second time in the round, sent loop

Rice dashed for the ball. Harris just

seventh run of the round.
Mack was thrown into a frenzy by
the National uprising in the seventh
and hurled three pitchers into the
breach. Ed Rommel was on the slab
at the start of the frame, but after
walking RueI and being nicled for a
single by McNeely, hitting for Mar
berry, the knuckle baller was yanked,
Then Howard Ehmke tried his hand,
but it plainly was not Howard's day.
Rice walked to crowd the sacks and
after Harris sent a weak tap to the
pitcher that brought about force out
Of Ruel at the plate, Speaker cracked
single that scored A1cNeely and Rice.
When Goslin followed with a double
to send Harris home and Spoke TO
third. Mack had Grove relieve Ehmke,
and Grove did his stuff in great style.
With men on second and third, one
out and only a run needed to tie,
Judge fouled to Cochrane and Myer
waved for a third strike. And that
kind of pitching Grove continued for
two more rounds.
Garland BraXton finished well for
the Nationals, but with Robert Moses
laying 'em low as he did, Braxton's
efforts were meaningless.

T o the ringing tune of bat on
ball the leaders of the major
leagues were setting q merry
Il pace today in base balls big
parade.
Twin victories for the Yankees and
Athletics sent them farther ahead OF
the American pack as the rivals
struck into a 6ouble-quick just half
game apart. In the National
League the Giants led the van with
another smashing triumph.
Babe Ruth was on q rampage
against the Red Sox. Not content
with driving out his fourth home run,
the big BAN added a double and
single and topped it off with a circus
catch in his corner of the outer gar
den. Dutch Ruether held the Sox
to no runs while the Yankees piled
up nine. Tt was Ruethers second
shutout OF the year.
Close at the Yankees heels. the
Athletics matched them stride for
stride with an 8-to.7 victory over the
Nationals. All seemed lost until the
sixth when Cobb and company un-
loosed a typhoon of hitting that slew
in seven runs. A triple, double and
SlnBle lofmeQ the part played by the
ageless Cobb, while his teammate, Bill
Lamar. and Thurston Of the Nationals
clouted out home runs.
Like the Athletics, the Giants made
it five in q row when they walloped
the Braves by 10 to 3. Everybody
was hitting them hard and far, and
Lindstrom. Terry and Tyson each
laced out a long one for jog around
the bags. A terrific attack made up

PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-Stan.
lev Harris was hoping to avert a
series shut-out here by using Stan
| Covelesllie on the hill this afternoon.
Either Lefty Grove or Howard Ehmke,
although both saw service yesterday
was apt to go for the AS.
Hollis ThurstOn's homer in the lower
left field stand in the fifth yesterday
was a solid drive Muddy Ruel was on
first when the pitcher slammed the
fOur-baser.
Bill Lamar's homer over the right
field wall in the first inning was his
second Of the season. He got one in
Boston on Wednesday.
In the first inning, Speaker nearly
knocked Hale over with a line drive.
But the Mack's third sacker managed
to get the ball to Branom to double
Harris off first base.
Mack used three pinch hitters and
all got on base. French, batting for
Gray, walked in the sixth and in the
seventh, Wheat, hitting for Boley,
singled, and Collins. up in Wills
place, forced out Cochrane.
Myer went back to the grass for a
pretty catch Of Cobbs looper in the
fifth. The loft seemed so certain to
fall safely that Bishop dashed from
second and became an easy double
play victim.
