 "' If the American league only were composed of just the Senators and the Athletics. life would be nothing but q long. sweet dream for the hire- 'lings of Prof Cornelius McGillicud- dy. The aspiring Mackmen have played at 1850 clip against the other six clubs, but have averaged i neat .s23 against Walter Johnson's : entry, which many picked to win the Barnard pennant. Their record is 13 out of 20 against the league in general. 1o out of 1s against their Washington cousins.
 The Athletics shifted the scene to the Capital city yesterday to shade the Senators by to 3 for the l1th straight Philadelphia victory. nine of which have been at the expense of the selfsame Senators. Walter Johnson's men took hope when they routed old Jack Quinn in the sixth and led by 3 to 1. But in the very next round Garland Braxton weak -rned under the strain of carrying the lead and the Macks were ahead. | to 5, before Fred Marberry could apply the brakes. Eddie Rommel. finisher extraordinary, held the edge to their end. l,N
 Tho victory maintained the Ath- letics comfortably ahead of their field. two and half games in front of the Browns, who shaded CleNe- land by 1 to 0, and five and one-half to the fore of the Yankees and the Tigers. who rested in virtual tie for third place Old Red Faber ap- piled the one-hit treatment to the Tigers in Chicago to win by to 0 as the Yankees went on spree in Boston to halt the Sox by IS to |.
 Babe Ruth's ninth home run was the crowning blow in a l6 hit assault which the champions showered upon the Messra. Ed Morris, Ed Durham, Ed Carroll. Billy Bayne and Jack Russell. Waite Hove was doing very we'll with the New York pitching until he became involved ina heated debate with Richard Nallin, the umpire, in the interest of the hoyt batting average. which is .e07. MT. Nallin. of course. won the argument by . unanimous vote, cast by Mr. Nallin himself. and Master Hoyt spent the rest fthe afternoon in the club house wondering whether he would get credit for the pitching victory, which he did.
 The game marked the first ap- pearance of the Yankees upon Braves field. which the Red Sox use for Sunday games because of Its ad- vantage over the Fenway in seating capacity.
 Rip Ceiling scattered seven slnden hits to win over Willis Hudlin by 1 to on only five safe blows by his St. Louis comrades. Blue double and Manush's single in the eighth set tied the argument. leaving the Browns in q threatening position.
 The Pirates definitely inserted themselves into the National league light, for the moment at any event, by taking both ends of a double header from the Cardinals at Sports mans park. The scores were 12 to : and to 5, with Burleigh Grimes stampcding to the aid of falterins Pittsburgh pitchers in each engage ment. The Cubs. aided by a Horns by home, run. had little difficulty in turning back the Reds by 5 to at Chicago.
 The Sabbath results in the Nation- al league left the Cubs leading the Cardinals by q margin of one full game. represented by . difference of two sn the losing column-this in spite of two defeats in three days for the Bruins in St. Louis. The Pi- rates rested only one and one half games behind the Cubs, half game to the rear of the champion Card tnals.. The rest of the league re- mained below the 300 mark, despite the fifth successive victory of tn. Giants. who stopped the Braves by IS to at the Polo Grounds.
 The Robins completed the Ma tional league program by cleaning up their third straight over the Phil Hes. to {.
