AVERAGES Z HITS
A GAME IN Il T|LTS
Leaders Gain on Griffs and
Yanks With FIashy Win
From st. Louis.
BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

w whatever the effect Of
M the new sphere on other
Y Y major league clubs, IL
has acted as nothing but
a tonic for those clubbing Cleve-
land Indians.
In IL contests to date, the
American League pace-setters
have given one Of the greatest
demonstrations of collective hit
ting seen In either circuit in re-
cent years. They literally have
blasted their way to the top,
averaging slightly better than IL
hits to the game. Their own
pitching has been nothing to get
excited about, but they haven't
needed it.
In only three bouts has the tribe been
held under double figures in the hit
column. Yesterday Roger Peckin-
paugh's warriors propelled 16 safe ones
of two st. Louis Browns pitchers TO
win their fifth victory In six starts. 10
TO g. The Browns broke loose on their
own account in the ninth. scoring eight
runs, but the Indians had the punch to
come back and score three in their
half to tie 1t up and then win out in tho
tenth.
BY winning, the Indians gained
ground on their closest rivals, the
Yankees and Senator'S, who battled to .
thinning draw, TO 7.
Tiger Streak Broken.
Detroit's four-game winning streak
was snapped by Pat Caraway Of the
White Sox, 8 to 5. Bill Cissell provided
the winning margin with a homer, the
first hit by Chicago player this sea-
son.
The Brooklyn Robins encountered an
other southpaw. with the usual result.
They collected IL hits of crafty Clar-
ence Mitchell of the Giants, but he
frightened in the pinches to beat them,
to 2. Nine of the Robins ten defeats
have been credited to left-handers. The
Giants punched their four blows on
Watson Clark
After taking two on the chin the st.
Louis Cardinals came back to stop the
Pirates, to 2, Burleigh Grimes regis
tering hts third straight win. Bottom-
ley's homer was one Of the five Cardinal
hits OF Wood and Spencer.
Phils Stop Braves.
Bill McKechnie gave his veteran
pitchers q rest and the Boston Braves
dropped o 9-to-8 decision to the Phillies.
The defeat knocked the Braves hack
into a virtual tie with the Cubs and
Cardinals for the National League lead.
The Phillies scored once In the seventh
to tie 1t up and then put across the
winning run in the ninth. Virgil Davis
led the winners attack with two sin
giles and a double and Maranville
punched three doubles for the losers.
The scheduled game between Cincin.
natl and Chicago at Cincinnati was
postponed for the funeral of Garry
Hermann, former president Of the
Reds. Cold weather again blocked the
Athletics and Red Sox at Boston.

SLASH.
SUGGESTED BY
SEN. BORAH
500, 100000 Saving Would
Hit All Salaries in Excess
of 1000 a Year

Estimating that $10O, ,00O,-
900 can be cut in the budget
for the next fiscal year, Sena-
tor William E. Borah (R.),
Idaho, last night suggested a
90 per cent reduction in Fed
eral salaries in excess of S.. 900
per annum.
Senator Borah recently pro-
posed a 10 per cent slash Of
Federal pay to employees receiving
more than $4,000 per year, but
now has raised the ante to cover
higher salaries paid by the Gov
ernment.
Officials Of the Federation Of
Federal Employees apparently
were undisturbed today by the
Borah proposal.
Although there is an under
surface movement in the House,
now in Democratic control, to
pare Federal pay, the Spokesmen
Of the organized Government
workers do not anticipate that
any such drastic legislation will
go through Congress.
