INDIANS HAVE
TROUBLE WITH
EASTERN TEAMS
BY LEO X. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May IA. U.P)-The
Cleveland Indians, whose sensa-
tional play was one Of the features
Of the first four weeks of the sea-
son. are finding the going against
eastern American league clubs a
little rough.
Until intersectional competition
began last week, the Indians were
leading the league with a record of
u victories and six defeats against
the western clubs in their circuit.
Today, as a result of four consecu-
tive defeats, three of them at the
hands of the supposedly weak Bos-
ton Red Sox, Cleveland is in the
second division, two games behind
the league leading Philadelphia
Athletics and a half game from
first division berth.
Washington administered Cleve-
land its fourth defeat at the hands
Of an eastern club yesterday, to 3.
Yves Ferrell, who was injured short
ly after he pitched a no-hit, no
run contest against the st. Louis
Browns. was pounded hard by the
Senators and knocked from the box
in the fourth inning. Brown held
the Indians TO eight scattered hits.
The Philadelphia Athletics re-
tanned their precarious hold on the
league lead by defeating the Chi
cago White Sox, to 5, in IL in
nings. George Earnshaw held the
White Sox to nine hits. Tommy
Thomas, who had been knocked
from the mound in five of his six
previous starts, held the Athletics
to nine hits in the 10 innings he
worked. Red Faber pitched the fl
nal frame and allowed the winning
runs to score on Miller's double
Dykes safe bunt, a hit batsman,
Earnshaw's fly and double steal.
Mickey Cochrane with a home run,
double and a single and Miller with
a homer and two doubles led the
Philadelphia batting attack.
A late rally enabled the New
York Yankees to win from the St
Louis Browns, 3 to 2. The Yanks
trailed until the seventh, when they
tied the score two all. Reese S
single and Gehrig's double produced
the winning run in the eighth
Gomez, who relieved Pipgras in the
seventh. received credit for the VIC
tory, while Blaeholder went the dis
tance for the losers.
In the other American League
game, Detroit won from the Boston
Red Sox, 2 TO /. Earl Whitehill
allowed only eight hits with singles
by Rhyme, CASTOR and Van Camp
producing the lone Boston tally in
| the fourth. CASTOR held the Tigers
scoreless for six innings but in the
seventh Doljack singled, went to
second on an error by Rhyme and
scored the tying run on Hayworth's
double. Alexander's single, Cas-
tons wild throw and McManus
single produced the winning run In
the eighth.
ALI of the contests scheduled ir
/ the National League were postponed
because of rain and cold weather.
