HOODOO seems to have pur-

"A land ace, since he pitched
a hitless shutout against
the st. Louis Browns three weeks
ago. Since then he has been able
to pitch only one full game. On
his next start he got out of some
trouble and beat Detroit, but he
has failed to last through the last
three games he started.
The Indians called on him again yes
terday in an endeavor to halt the slump
they have been in ever since they began
meeting Eastern teams. He weathered
five stormy innings against the Athletics
and contributed home run on his own
account. But in the sixth he gave way
to Pete Jablonowski, who was charged
with Cleveland's ninth straight defeat.
The AS also used three pitchers in the
slugfest which wound up with a Is
to 10 score, Hank Mcdonald getting
credit for the victory after George
Earnshaw had been driven from the
hill. Five homers featured the game.

Detroit to two bases as $4,000 fans, the

to see the New York Yankees outslug
the Tigers, to S. Roy Sherid went

he gave IA hits. Boston and Chicago
showed that the spell Of pitching had
not been completely broken as the
White Sox pushed over a run in the

Tommy Thomas gave Boston five hits
to Chicago's six.
The st. Louis Cardinals clouted four
OF the National Leagues homers in
beating the New York Giants and Fred
F1tzsimmons to l. They connected
four times, George Watkins hitting two.
Johnny Vergie Of the Giants made the
other. The defeat was the. first for
FitzsimmonS after five straight VIC
tories while Burleigh Grimes recorded
his NTH win in succession.
Eppa Rixey Of Cincinnati and Heinie
Meme OF Pittsburgh turned in some
more good National League pitching
to win the other two games. Rixey
weakened in the eighth and gave
Brooklyn four runs before Frey rescued
him, but Cincinnati won out, z to 5.
Given a three-run lead in the first
inning, Meme pitched the pirates to a
