The unending battle between
pitcher and batsman found the form
er holding = temporary advantage
today.
Yesterday effective pitching was
the rule rather than the exception it
had been the previous day when Is
home RUNS and an avalanche Of less
er blows drove hurlers to cover in
nsarly every major league game.
Aided and abetted BY Ty Cobb
and iris Speaker, the left-handed
speed ball ace, Robert Moses Grove
pitched the Philadelphia Ath-
leties TO . 2 to l victory over the
Nav York Yankees and spoiled the
worlds champions opening day for
. majority Of the $4,000 who saw
thu game. II was the first victory
Of tie season for the Mackmen.
Grove gained ample revenge for
The tfouncing he suffered 1t the
hands Of murderers' row in the op-
ening game Of the season at Phil
adelphia 10 days ago. His fast one
held the Yankees 1t bay throughout.
Eight Of them expired on strikes
and only five hits were garnered off
his delivery that calls for q fast
one and then one . little faster.
Csbb Gets Single and Triple
Singles ly Max Bishop, Cobb and
Speaker gave the Msckmen their
first run and . triple by Cobb fol-
lowed BY Speakers sacrifice fly ac-
counted for the winning tally in the
ninth. George Pipgras started for
the Yankees but was relieved by
Wiley Moore in time to escape be-
ing charged with the defeat.
It was . bad day for the other
leaders in the American League
Cleveland and Washington.
At Cleveland, the Chicago White
Sox turned on the Indians and
hammered out m IL to triumph
after losing the first two engage
ments Of the current series. AL
Themes kept the league leaders
eight hits well scattered and famed
six. Three Indian hurlers were -;
effective. So was their support Is

Red Sox Beat Senators
The Washington Senator's re-
manned IN . second place tie with
the Yankees by bowling to the Bos-
ton Red Sox, 8 70 5, ct the National
capital. Goose GUslin's third home
run Of the year was the high spot
OF ! fourth inning rampage that
Melted the Senators four runs but
the Red Sox kept pecking away at
TIE offerings Of three Senator
pitchers until that advantage had
been overcome.
Successive circuit drives BY Marty
QcMlnus and Easterling-the lat
tet's third in - many days-gave
Detroit three runs in the second
inning against 81. Louis. That was
Ill the scoring the Tigers did but it
Ms plenty, for Earl Whitehill
hlanked the Browns with only four
hits. The Tigers got but five off
Jack Ogden and Wright. The
Browns now have lost five In . row
70 match their four straight victor
~ et the start Of the season.
