George Uhle, great right handler
Of the Cleveland Americans, ap-
parently has returned to the form
that enabled the Indians to give the
New York Yankees a stern but
futile chase for the American
League pennant in 1926.
With the major league season
less than two weeks old, Uhle al
ready has turned in his third VIC
tory and has yet to meet defeat.
In 1926, he won ~ games while
losing IL and nearly pitched his
club to another pennant. The YAM
KEGS lead, lied up early in the sea-
son, proved just too much Of an adj
vantage to be overcome.
The season Of 1927, however, told
another story and Uhle's record
showed only eight victories against
nine defeats. He pitched only 10
complete games as compared with
81 the previous year.
Third Straight Win
His third straight .-lumph of the
present campaign was scored, 2 to
!, over the Browns at st. Louis yes
terday. He gave only six hits,
O'Rourke's double in the eighth Civ
ing the Browns their one tally. TAX
ing advantage of all the breaks, the
Indians, leading the league and hop
ing to continue to do 50, scored
single runs in the fourth and eighth
although they got only four safe
ties off Blaeholder, one Of Dan
Howley's recruits. Ernie Nevers
pitched the last inning for the
Browns and gave one hit that did
no damage. Langford, playing the
centerfield position graced by iris
Speaker for man. years, roamed
far and wide to haul in seven flies.
Ineffective pitching sent the
Washington Senators down to de-
feat, 8 to S, at the hands Of Boston
at re capital. The Senators gave
Irving Fadley Z three-run lead to
work on in the first inning but it
was not enou I. The Red Sox bonn
barded him for five hits and as
many runs in the second inning and
then kept up the offensive against
his three successors, Van Alstyne,
Burke and "Sad Sam" Jones. Roth
rock connected for four singles.
Hoffman, drove Al three runs with
9 double and two singles. Charlie
Ruffing went to route for the Red
Sox and held the Senator's safe aft
er the first inning. Max West,
fleet Washington fly-chaser, hit a
home run inside the park in the
fourth.
White Sox Beat Tigers
The Chicago White Sox found
their batting eyes and battered the
Detroit Tigers into submission at
Detroit, 8 to 3. After two errors
by Marvin Shea, Tiger catcher, had
given the Sox three runs in the
first inning, Josh Billings, Detroit
hurler gave them four more by be-
ing too liberal with his hits in the
third. With the Sox leading, Z to o,
Billings called it a day. Ted Lyons
shut out the Tigers until the eighth
when four hits gavs them their
three tallies.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, cham.
pions last year, took undisputed
possession Of the cellar of the Ma
tional League whel. they bowed to
tie Chicago Cubs, 3 to 2, in the
first game Of the series at Chicago.
Fifty thousand p, sons, the largest
crowd that evel saw q ball game in
the city, were on hand. The pitch
ing OF Percy Jones and the hitting
Of Riggs Stephenson gave the Cubs
the verdict. Jones allowed but five
hits. Stephenson smashed out three
hits and scored the winning tally in
the eighth when he tripled and came
home on . sacrifice fly by Butler.
The Pirates protested that under
the ground rules Riggs hit should
have been good for only two bases.
Johnny Miljus started and finished
for the Corsairs. He struck out
seven men but two more than that
got hits.
Rain forced postponement Of the
National League Settos between
Brooklyn and New York and St.
Louis and Cincinnati as well al that
between the Yankees and Philadel.
