formed and shaped to fit the needs
of advancing civilization. Wooden
shingles, thatch, tile in different
forms, slate, and various metal
roofs in many different styles, took
the place of the cruder roofings.
Through all these changes in the
development of the different styles

YANKS STEP FAST,

TINE New York Yankees have won
z out of their last 10 games

delphia have each won out
of 10. The Athletics are game and
one-half ahead of the Senators, with

The Yanks won yesterday, after a
struggle with Cleveland. The count was
l3 to IL, and of Cleveland's runs came
in the last four innings, after the Yanks
had piled up an 11-to-2 lead.
Philadelphia and Washington were
victors by big scores in a day which
produced 106 hits by the eight American
League Clubs and 81 runs. The Ath-
letics made IS blows, of them for ex-
ira bases, off Sammy Gray and defeated

A. A. SPLIT SEASON
APPEARS CERTAIN
Louisville, Well Ahead in
Race, Only Club Likely
to Fight Plan.
By the Associated Pres!

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, June 27.-Probability
Of a split season, the second
half to start July Z, has brought
cheer to all American Associa-
ton clubs except the Louisville Colonels,
who are unwilling to surrender their
first mortgage on full seasons pen
nant.
Indications today were that club own
ers Of the circuit would vote six and
possibly seven, to one for the proposal
when President Thomas j. Hickey pre-
sents it at the special meeting in Chi
cago July l. AS only a majority vote
is required, the plan is expected to be
carried easily. Thus the teams which
have been watching the Colonels make
one-team race out of the pennant
chase will have new chance not only
to win the second half title, but to win
the big flag in a post-season series
play-off
Louisville, seven games in front of
its nearest rival, st. Paul, intends to
fight the plan. Wathen Knebelkamp,
secretary of the club and son of the
owner, said he and his father were op-
posed to it. Kansas City, coming back
after bad start, also may cast a ballot
against the plan. The 1929 champions
were in fourth place today and playing
probably the best ball they have ex-
hibited this season.
Sponsors of the split-season plan be-
lieve it will create greater interest by
starting the race all over again and
result in higher gate receipts.

Cochrane is another individual on
whom the Mackmen depend.
THE Athletics are not getting the
i pitching they were last season. but
they scarcely could expect it. Those
pitchers were going better last year
collectively than any manager has a
right to expect. He only can hope for
pitching such as that. And the
Athletics still are getting some good
pitching. Not that they need 1t much,
if they hit as they did yesterday.
DOBBY JONES will land on home

who ever holed a 120-yard approach

there are to shoot for is not only a
master of his game, but a sportsman
and grand guy. Everybody likes to see
him win, because he is good winner.
WILMER ALLISON Is not rated as

A SADDER, wiser and wetter
| ~ G. P. o. team walked of the
IN South Ellipse field, trying to
console itself that a game lost
to Navy Yard might have been turned
into a victory had the weather man
been just little more consistent.
However, the weather man shouldn't

that would revert the score to the last

up long enough. the game would be call

Then the fun began!

At Miami Beach, Stribling hit Shar-

He knew Sharkey could hit back and.
before the affair was ended, Sharkey
did.
