TIGER CLIMB
NOT NOTICED
Cubs Take Exciting Game
From Brooklyn;
Yanks Win
By HUGH 5. FULLERTON. JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer

Almost obScured in the struggles
OF the mighty around the top posi-
tons in the major league stand
ings. the Detroit Tigers have been
putting on a squirt that has car
ried them almost into the first d.
vision OF the American league. The
Tigers are only one and one-half
games behind the fourth place
Cleveland Indians today, despite
their inability 10 cope with the he
roic gestures Of Babe Ruth in their
opening clash with the New York
Yankees yesterday. While The L
gers were losing II game, due 10
Ruth's demonstration OF the rea-
sons for his great reputation, Cleve-
land was dropping two 70 the ohil-
adelphia Athletics TO make the
fourth-place struggle o inter-
esting. The Tiger record for the
past month has been of first-divi-
sion calibre, 10 victories and IL de-
feats for an average Of 500. In
the same period. only the rampant
Athletics and the Yankees have
done better than that.
Babes 43rd
The Yankees stopped the Detroit
climb for a while yesterday but
only after Ruth had put on q great
performance TO win a 6 TO 5 de-
cision in a close battle. The Babe
clOuted his 43rd homer in the third
inning with his mascot, Jimmy
Recess, on a base to climax a big
Yankee rally, then drove in the
winning run in the ninth at the
highly crucial moment when there
were two out and two strikes on
him.
The victory was not OF much use
to the Yanks except to hold them
in their position behind Philadel-
phia and Washington without a Sc
rious loss. With Nose Grove and
Bill Shores pitching a pair Of good
games, the Athletics twice trounced
the Cleveland Indians by scores Of
0 to ! and Z to 0. Washington held
second place a game ahead Of the
YankS By scoring four runs off Ted
Lyons in &c third inning TO AXE
a speedy game from the Chicago
White S0x, 5 to 4. The contest
lasted only an hour and % minutes.
The opening of the crucial Ma
tional league series between the
Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn Rob-
ms fulfilled all advance notices In
thrills. A pitching duel between
Fred Blake and Dazzy Vance, high
ly productive of hits but not Of
runs. lasted eleven innings before
Chicago was able TO win.
Errors Hurt
Two first inning errors by Jake
Flowers gave the Cubs two runs
and forced Brooklyn into an n
successful uphill battle in its ef-
fort to regain the lead. II was not

duced an easy 8 70 3 victory as

however, the mean average price was
equivalent to 1865 times net per share
Last years peak levels were equivalent

Obviously. despite the fact that trend
of the market as whole has beenI
toward lower levels for more than a
year past, equity shares generally cam
be considered Debated only If meas
ured by standards which were not
recognized as valid until the late cx-

its final stage. Whether or not ac-

That this record can be paralleled in

Is decidedly not justified on the basis
of current evidence.
If growth In profits proceeds at a
less rapid rate than has been the case
during the immediate past, it Is only
reasonable to expect capitalization OF
earnings on a less enthusiastic basis,
To assume that average price-earnings
ratios win return to the low levels of

an undr,.ly pessimistic forecast. 1t is
not diff fSllt, however, to visualize re-

On such a basis, stocks now quoted
