homer Of the season, a double and
two singles, and scored two runs.

winning streak by pounding out q
i TO 5 verdict over Detroit. Six
runs in the third inning decided the
issue.
At Washington the Senators ham
mered five st. Louis Browns pitch
ers for IS hits and carried off n IS
TO 6 decision. A five-run rally in
the fifth gave the Senators a safe
lead.
Danny MacFayden outpitched Will
lis Hudlin at Boston and the Red
Sox nosed u the Cleveland Indians,
3 70 2, in the only game Of the day
In which the winning team failed 10
ten or more runs.
The New York Giants added an
other win for the east in a National
league encounter at Cincinnati
where they bowled over the Reds. IL
to z. Seven pitchers saw duty and
80 safe hits were made.

Pirates recorded the vests sole tri-
umph with the Boston Braves as the
victims, 13 to 3.

SMITH MYSTERY
 LIKE COOllDGE'S
Party Awaits Expression ol
 His 1928 Plans

Washington, Jan. s (UP)-A win ter Smith mystery" has grown up among politicians here as . sequel to the summer Coolidge mystery which the president dispelled a month ago in his declaration to the republican national committee that it must seek another 1928 presiden- tial candidate.
 For weeks democrats have been looking toward Albany for some ex- pression from Gov. Al Smith as to his 1928 intentions. A majority of democratic leaders appear to believe Smith not only will be candidate. but that he will be nominated. There are others who sincerely think he will retire from the race in view of the retirement of his old oppo- nent, William c. McAdoo. several months ago.
