II the western clubs OF the Arneri-
can League can do their bit toward
helping out the Washington Sena-
tors this month, it looks as if there
might be some tough shedding ahead
for the New York Yankees.
Largely at the expense of the Yanks,
the Senators have climbed into the
contending position that was predict
ed for them. In their recent series,
they took four out of five games from
New York, the only ones the Yankees
have lost in Is starts
The Senators beat the Philadelphia
Athletics and the great Lefty Grove
5 to In Thinning struggle Sun
Gay, to make 1t four triumphs in a
row and seven in their last eight
games.
The Yankees protected their hold on
first place by lining up their big guns
behind some smart pitching by a pair
Of recruits, Russell Van Alta and Don
Brennan, and cleaning up the Boston
Red Sox In a doubleheader, IL to 2
and 8 to 3. Lou Gehrig and Tony
Lazzeri hit two homers apiece and
Babe Ruth one.
Chicago's White SoX chung to their
second place tie with Washington
when Paul Gregory held the Cleve-
land Indians to six hits to win 81.
The Detroit Tigers and st. Louis
Browns slugged it out all the way
through a twin bill and broke even.
The Browns pounded four Fingers for
y hits and took the opener, 1l-8.
Gerald Walker and Johnny Stone wal
loped two homers apiece to give De-
troit the second 81.
Giants Lose Lead
The Boston Braves, climaxing a
sudden rise from the National League
cellar to the first division, showed the
New York Giants right out of first
place. Combining some excellent
pitching by Ed Fallenstin and a time
~ homer by Wally Berger, his fifth,
the Braves beat the Giants twice, 80
and 3D.. Fallenstin pitched three-hit
ball In the opening duel with Car.
Hubbell.
Pittsburgh regained the lead by
walking roughly over the weakened
Cincinnati Reds 81. Minus Jim Bot
tomley and Chick Hafey, the Reds
got only five hits off Waite Hoyt while
the BUGS scored all their runs in two
big innings.
The Brooklyn Dodgers also had a
big inning and gave the Phillies their
fifth straight licking, 6-3. Getting a
start when Frank O'Doul walloped a
homer, they piled hits on top of walks
to score six runs in the sixth inning.
Rogers Hornsby, coming back to
Chicago for the first time since he
was ousted as Cub manager last
August, played an important part in
gaining an even break for the ST..
Louis Cardinals in long double
header. The Cubs pounded out rs
victory in the opener, but the Rajah
evened it by pasting a homer with
one In the third inning OF the night
cap and paving the way for a 5-3
Cardinal victory.
