 Two so-called ball games in the American league yesterday provided the customers with 3S runs on 47 hits and enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to stretch their lead over games.
 The As outclassed the Detroit Tigers in a fray that lasted two hours and IA minutes to win by i to 10. The Tanks played two houls and o5 minutes before dropping a 9-S decision to the Cleveland Indians.
 Detroit piled up a lead of S-3 on the As in the first two innings but Connie Mack's pennant- bound youngsters kept begging away, tied up the score at 9-all in the eighth when Owen Carroll forced in a run with walk and won out in the same frame by scoring two more runs be- fore Carroll could apply the brakes. It was not Harry Heilmann's fault that the Tigers lost. He drove out two home runs and two singles in five times at the bat.
 Bib Talks homer with two on in the ninth gave the Indians thrilling victory over the Tanks. IL was see-saw battle with Pipgrass and Heimach of the Tanks and Shaute of the Indians retiring under heavy gunfire.
 Irving Hadley outpitched Alvin Crowder at Washington where the Senators downed the St. Louis Browns again, 5-3. Hadley, grant ing seven hits, had only two bad in- nings, the first and last Washing ton punched hits off Crowder in the second, fifth and eighth innings.
 two run rally in the 10th gave the Boston Red Sox a 3 to deci- sion over Chicago. The White Sox scored one run in their half of the tenth on Taitt's double and Bergs single but the Red Sox came back with two on third strike that got away from Berg, a force out. Bill Barrett's double and Resan's single.
 In the National league, the league leading Chicago Cubs. held Idle by rain gained another half game on Pittsburgh which was blanked 20 by the Philles The Pi- rates defeat left them five and one half games from the top. Lester Sweetland gave the Pirates II hits but they could not bunch them to advantage. Larry French gave the Phils six hits but three errors hv Clarke, rookie Pirate shortstop. gave the Phils one run in the fifth and Don Hursts homer in the ninth gave the Quakers another tally. Hurst's last six hits have been home runs.
 The St. Louis Cardinals pounded Dazzy Vance for s hits and 13 runs in six innings and coasted in to a l4-7 verdict over Brooklyn. Ernie orsatti, Cardinal outfielder, got four hits and Jim Bottomley hit his 24th homer of the year.
 The Cincinnati Reds finally broke the spell Fred Fitzsimmons has woven around their bats this season and beat the New York Giants, 3-2. F1tzslmmons has pitched 36 con- secutive scoreless innings against the Reds until their scored a run on him In, the first inning yesterday. Two more unearned runs came across in the third and Fitz was forced to ac. cept defeat despite the fact that he allowed only four hits all told.

The Cardinal Juniors of Hartford, state Legion baseball champions, drew first blood in the initial tilt of three game series for the cham pionship of the Hartford district, when they edged out to 4 win over the Eddy Glover post nine of this city at Walnut Hill park last evening.
 The victory, however, was not dn easy one for the Capital City crew was forced to go 10 innings before it was able to take the decision. A muffed fly in right center in the tenth with a Hartford player on second base gave the invaders the edge which finally resulted in we'll earned triumph.
 Tolcz, who was on the mound for the Birds, was hit hard at times but sensational support saved the day for him. His outfielders, espe- cally, were brilliant and both Far rell in left field and Repass in the center garden gave a scintillating exhibition throughout the engage | lIItllt.

 The local team threw the game away. Three of the six runs that the visitors scored were unearned. ] The other three resulted from home run clouts that might have been felded for putouts had the local outfield been playing 'headsup' baseball
 Sam Capodice took the hill for the locals at the start of the battle but didn't fare so well. He was wild and got himself in bad in the opening inning when he attempted to nip a runner off second base. Tn. throw waS wild and the runner rode home from second when the ball got past Miller in center field. During his stay on the mound, Sammy al, lowed five hits, two of these goinE for the circuit. The winners regis tered three of these bingles in tn, sixth to push across a pair of tai lies.

If you missed the last battle be- tween the Old Man Mauler and Prof. James Joseph Tunney, there's just a chance you may see what amounts to a return engagement between those two gents in the not-distant future.
 We don't mean to say that the demon promoter and big breach Of promise guy are actually going to meet again-no. no, Angus, not that. But if the phoxy Philadelphian, Tom my Loughran. should happen to be entangled with the Hurtful Ham, burger Herr Mocks Schmeling, the bout would look as much like the Dempsey -Tunney thing, on paper, as Phil the Norwegian sardine looks like his cousin, the other well known Norwegian sardine, Hosmer.
 Look at the Phantom of Philly first. We have in this corner the master boxer equipped with gliding attachments, a lovely straight left that pokes the opponents pan in d manner that is akin to insulting.
 Lively 'ect
 We have footwork that Tunney could well have copied and improved thereby. We have right hand in | readiness, not a killing right hand ! but one that adds no pleasure tc anybody's vacation. Up on top, also i there is said to be a brain or two that is always open for business That last factor. by the way, k something that lately has been con spicuous mostly by it's absence in tho heavyweight division.
 Looking across to the other stool there sits the hard looking Ham burger. a weaver and bobber. young and ambitious a student of Dcmp sey's style to the point of plagiarism He has the stamina. and in his onl. fights in this country he has show courage. though we shouldn't put to- great emphasis on that, as Ton Heeney has that, too.
 Mocks still is more or less an un tried recipe and match wit Loushran would demonstrate clear ly whether or not the German visi tor is going to jell.
 Under the Chestnut Tree Loughran says he intends [ roughcn himself all up by contac with the blacksmiths hammer a S25 week. A smattering of smith ing hurts not any man plannin mayhem upon his ncighbor. W might say that if Thomas is aimin at a bout with the Hamburger h might more auspiciously train in
 butchers apron, but after all let u not mention that.
 Bob Fitzsmmons was black smith and he also was lighter tha most of the men he met. We migt even go so far as to recommen smithng as a permanent professio , for most of the hcavyWeights an , bling around here right now. An Class A horseshoer could always us { a Jack Sharlley at the bellows.
