TVENTS of the next fortnight
r should tell pretty definitely
l. how the land lies in the
American League, whether
the Yankees are to continue their
headlong flight toward the cham
pionship or will be challenged by
one or more Of their more robust
rivals.
With Bill Dickey, their slugging
catcher, on the suspended list and
Lefty Gomez pitching ragged ball
Tor the first time this year, the
Yanks find themselves shorn of
two vital COgs.
Too, they appear on the edge Of that
slump which every team, no matter
how great, must expect sometime dur
ing the season. They dropped their
third straight to Detroit yesterday in
10 innings only the second time since
the race began they have lost more
than tive in a row.
THE Sscond-place Tigers put on
4 rousing finish to capture their
JeA4EI VIII LLle tGdQGISt o 10 j.
They jumped on Gomez, who appeared
in a relief role, for three runs in the
ninth to knot the score and then rout-
ed the Castillian in the tenth with
three more Jonathan Stone, Tiger
Cutfielder, knocked in two runs in each
of the big innings. Gomez, losing his
third game against IA victories, walked
four batters in the fatal tenth. The
win placed the Tigers within six and
one-half games of the top.
The third-place Athletics could get
no better than an even break with
Chicago. losing the first, 13 to 8, when
they were held to six hits by the
coast rookie. Pete Daglia. and winning
the nightcap, 9 to 3, behind Rube Wal
berg. The st. Louis Browns broke
five-game losing streak by slugging
three Boston pitchers for II hits and
an 8-to-2 decision.
nITTsBURGH'S winning streak was
L snapped at six straight and its
hold on the National League lead
reduced to two and one-half games by
the New York Giants, who proflted by
a pair of errors to win, 4 to 3. Heine
Meine threw away his own game in
the eighth when he heaved wildly past
third on an attempted forceout. Waite
Hoyt, pitching relief, held the Pirates
helpless the last three innings.
Chicago and Boston remained IN
virtual tie for second place. The Cubs
scored easily over the Phillies, to 0,
as Pat Malone yielded only five hits,
and the Braves put couple of home
runs in the right spots to nose out the
Cardinals, 5 to 4. Red" Hargrave hit
one with runner on in the second

Hurting Wasted as Eaters
FaiI-Tribe Twice Wins
by Single Score.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

N YOT so far above a 500 win
\ ming percentage, the Ma
4 Y tionals are not thinking
about a pennant these
days. Their big goal is a first-di-
vision berth, and, performing so
inconsistently as they have for
some time, Johnson's charges
may find it difficult to reach.
Bounced out of the upper
bracket by the Indians in yester-
days double-header, the Ma
tionals, to regain the select lot
during the current series, would
have to sweep the remaining
games. That's a big order for
them.
TIE double defeat at the hands Of
the Tribe sank the Nationals a game
and a half below Peck's pack that took
over the fourth position and left them
only two and half games above the
siXth-place Browns. Certainly not a
comfortable situation for an aggrega-
tion so wabbly as the Nationals.
What the johnson band needs and
needs sorely is a sustained batting
streak. So long as it continues spotty
in its attack thereIl be no favorable re-
suits for it or for fandom of the Cap
ital Every once in a while the Ma
tionals step out to haraSs opposing
pitchers, but not for a month has one
of their splurges extended three games.
In the main, the Washington pitch
ing has been good. Not SO many runs
have been made by the opposition. But
the Nationals generally manage to make
less and thereby waste lot of decent
effort put forth by the curVing corps.
What price pitching if there's no

4 Americans held the first nine
' places in the Canadian open
golf championship today as
the field of 105 entered the second
round. Canadian hopes of home-bred
triumph in the classic for the first
time since 1914 were virtually nom
existent.
A stroke ahead of all rivals was
'Lighthcrse Harry" Cooper of Chicago,
whose first-rourd SO knocked four
strokes off par for the 6,770-yard lay
out OF the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club
and equaled the course record set up
in 1880 by the club champion, Jimmy
Mclaughlin.
JUST behind the Chicagoan. with 7Os,
y were two Detroit stars, Walter
Hagen, defending champion, and
George Won Elm, well known business
man golfer.
For a time it appeared that Hagen
might not appear at all in defense Of
his crown, but he finally turned up at
the course at $50 o'clock, four and
half hours late, ana airily announced
he had been delayed by motor trouble.
Then Sir Walter proceeded to give the
tough layout a fine beating, starting
with an eagle at the first hole where
he sank chip shot from off the green.
