There's mathematical proof that

realization that il will take a miracle

For a month the champions have
done little better than break even
yet they lead the procession by ten
and a half games. Their closest
competitors. the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the st. Louis Browns
have done no better over the same
period.
Although the Yanks have won
only four more games than they've
lost during the period, they have in
creased their advantage by one per-
centage point over the second place
Athletics and by 30 points over the
Browns.
The Athletics lost a chance yester-
day to cut deeply into the Yankees
lead when they split eve with the
Chicago Whitesox while Detroit was
nosing out the Yanks at New York.
Three runs in the ninth spelled vic
tory for the Tigers. Henry Johnson,
the young right handler. hit a home
run but offset this with no fewer
than seven walks, most Of which were
damaging.
Redfern's single scored Cissell,
who had doubled, with the run that
rave the White Sox a 1 TO 8 decision
over the AS in the first game. Eddie
Rommel was in good form in the
nightcap and gave the Athletics an

Distance between Houston, leader
Of the Texas league. and San Antonio
most persistent challenger for first
place, Is narrowing rapidly. The
Bears cut the Bluffs lead to one-half
game Thursday by defeating Shreve-
port, / to 0. while Houston was los
ing to Wichita Falls.
The Bear-SEort game saw a great
hurting duel between Messenger and
Dickerman, and although victory
went to the former pitcher there was
little TO choose between the work Of
the two. Messenger allowed four
hits while Dickerman gave up two.
In the second round, a base on balls
to Chapman followed by Meyers
double accounted for San Antonio's
run.
The hard hitting of Tut Jenkins
combined with good hurting in the
pinches by Spudder pitchers enabled
Wichita Falls TO defeat Houston, 3 TO
2. in eleven innings. In the ninth,
Jenkins tied the score BY hitting q
home run with a man on base, and
in the final frame he parked the ball
again 10 win the game. The victory
