 Just when it began to seem as II the alarmists might possibly have some grounds for their apprehen- sions. Mir. Gordon s. Cochrane was welcomed back into the Athletic fold, fully recovered from the unique feat of having broken his own rlo. It may be that Mir. Cochrane's pres ence behind the bat was not the prime reason the McGillicuddy arms were returned victorious. but the fact remains that the Athletics de- feated the Indians by to 3 in ID innings at Cleveland yesterday as Detroit trimmed the Tanks, 10 4.
 This perfect Sabbath for the lean leader of the Athletics increased the Mackian margin over the champlons to eight and one-half games. The Macks are four games past the mid way mark of the schedule and are better placed than were the Yankees at a similar period of the 1927 cam paign, which witnessed 1l0 New York victories.
 IONnlS Mdth lIleu lo VIII SoSNN' day with the young left-hander, Car roll Yerkes. but withdrew him for pinch batsman in the sixth after a rally for two runs in the fifth had brought the Indians within one of a tie. Old Jack Quinn took charge of the game, and got credit for the 10th inning victory after permitting the Indians to tie in the ninth. Willis Hudlin pitched smart ball for Cleve- land for nine rounds only to have Jimmy Finn blow the game in the 10th after Finn had served as sub- stitute batsman for Hudhn in the ninth.
 George Pipgras seemed 10 be headed for one of those fine after moons he sometimes has (infrequent- ly, though, this season), but the Tigers set off dynamite under him in the seventh. Command of the situation passed definitely to the hard hitting Tigers in a five run rally which gave the home team a lead of 5 to 8. George Uhle had some of the stuff which enabled him to win nine straight at the start of the season,
 Prayed by their vain efforts against the Yankees and the Macks, Daniel Howley's shock troops batted a three hit game for Jack Russell at St. Louis, and the Red Hose won by 5 to 2. Blaeholder and kimsey were none too good.
 Washington defeated the White Sox by to 1 in the remaining American league fixture.
 The Pirates apparently can do we'll even when doing nothing. Con- fined to their hotel by rain in Boston yesterday, the Buccaneers received word of another even break by the Giants. who plunged 10 a position 10 losing games to the rear of the flying leaders. The Cubs were in Philadelphia with no game sched- uled, so the Pittsburgh gain in that direction was nothing at all.
 The Buccaneers still have the Giants to face in this trip east, but the Cubs must play series in Brooklyn, and the Robins are not the easiest club to beat right now with the first division only step ahead.
 The venerable Clarence Mitchell all but turned in a victory in the opening game at the Polo Grounds, which would have made John Me Graw's day a total loss. Carl Hubbell treated himself 10 a six run eXplo- sion in the fifth inning, giving the Cardinals a margin of three, but the home team bounced upon old MT. Mitchell for enough runs in the home half to tie. Carl Mays then entered the box. and held the Card inals until Bill Terry's 11th inning single gave the clan McGraw a to 6 victory.
 Bill Walker tottered in the eighth round of the nightcap, enabling the Cards to score three times to pull out to decision. Jess Haines was the winning pitcher, although he gave way to substitute at bat In the big St. Louis eighth.
 Cincinnati stopped Brooklyn hv 12 to 3 as Swanson and Walker hit homers.
