By the Associated Prea.

By the Associated Pres,.
 Games won by sheer daring on the base paths, by mastarly pitching and by main strength with the bat went down in the records today as major league clubs began to hit top speed in the long race for a world crown.
 There is no longer a Ty Cobb on the base lines for Detroit, but a play Of the type he made famous in his younger years was flashed by two Tigers yesterday in a game that vas won by a hair from the White SoX at Chicago.
 Hits were scarce and desperate means were necessary to take the game. The scale was turned by q spectacular double steal by the fleet Fothergill and Blue, another rapid stopper on the bags. Their double dash and slide made safe q 1 to 3 victory for Detroit.
 Two sterling right handers were matched in the pitching classic Of the day out of which Grover Cleve- land Alexander emerged victorious over Vic Aldridge of the Pirates. The Cardinal "old master" granted just six hits to the hungry Pitts burgh crew and gave his team the edge 10 win, 10 l.
 Hitting was freer In the other games. Two homcrs cracked from Yankee bats in their 10 ? victory over Washington. One Of them was No. for Ruth. Mcusel made the other and Cedric Durst, newcomer to the team, joined the heavy hit ting parade by slamming a pinch hit triple to far center field with three on base
 Digging their spikes in and slug ging from the heels, the Giants won in Yankee style from the Braves by ] 10 s. Al Devormer. Giant back stop hit four time in five times up and drove in five Of his teams runs.
 Pitchers had a hard time too against St. Louis at Cleveland whore the Browns trained their guns on three before the game was theirs, 2 to 1. Still faulty in the field, the Browns made four errors but took the game witb ease by dint of a mighty punch at the plate.
 Carl Mays. the old side wheeler deserved to win for Cincinnati, but he faced a handicap that was too much 10 overcome. Mays took charge in the first with one out. three one and three runs already in. He retired the side, held the oppos- ing Cubs to six hits the rest of the game and slammed out three hits, one triple only to lose out 5 to 3.
 Wild throws and muffs meant de- feat for Hobbies shaky Brooklyn team this time : to at the hands of the competent phils.
