Western Outfits Win Only 19
Games in the Last IS
Played in Majors
(By The Associated Press)

Of IS games played in their recent
home stand, the eastern clubs of the
American league won 46, leaving
only 10 victories for the western
clubs.
Washington put the big squirt in
to the finish Of the in~tersectional
play yesterday, moving into second
place and bringing it's total victories
for the home stand to IL against
three defeats by winning both games
of a double header from the st. Louis
Browns, 5 to a and s to 8. The first
contest went IL innings.
The double victory gave the SEN
ators a games advantage over their
rivals, the Athletics and the Yankees,
both of whom divided double bills.
They now are a full game ahead of
New York and only / IL games be-
hind Philadelphia.
Athletic Streak Broken
The Athletics five game winning
streak was broken when Detroit beat
the champions, a to 3 in the first
game, but they returned to slam
Waite Hoyt for a Z to 2 triumph in
the second.
An injury to Babe Ruth and the
smuggling feats of Carl Reynolds
shared the interest as the Yankees
won the first game from Chicago,
to 1. as the Babe hit his 31st homer
of the season. then took q Is to 4
drubbing in the second. Ruth made
a great attempt to catch Reynolds
second homer and only succeeded ir
entangling his hand in the wire
guarding the bleachers and injurine
it painfully. One fingernail was
completely torn off. The damage
may keep the Babe out of the com
ing series with the Athletics.
Giants, Robins Win
Boston put on a late rally to take
q single game from Cleveland, 5 to 4
The National league pennant race
became more complicated than evel
as the New York Giants and Brook
lyn Robins gave a great display o.

where is your ball in regard 10
your own position when you make q
shot?" is q question many persons
have asked me.
I play almost all of my shots off
my left heel. That means that the
ball and the left heel make q line
at right angles to the line Of the shot.
My strokes work best for me that
way.
Some players make their shots
with the ball slightly more forward
than this, even as far as the left toe.
Still others play it as far back as to
be even with the nose-directly over
the ball, so to speak.
OF all these. the latter r in the
minority. When q ball is hit as far
back as the middle Of the body, there
is danger Of topping or smothering
the shot. Sometimes the ball is
played back to get q low shot into a
strong wind but this is dangerous
when made by any other than an ex-
pert who knows exactly what he can
do.
If a player is in doubt as to the
best position Of the ball, he should
make several practice shots with the
ball in each of the three positions and
let the results speak for themselves.
Tomorrow: Iron shots.
