McCon Finishes Game.

A LEG McCOLL, the old man of
n the mound, had to finish the
day for Burke. The long, slim
left-hander blew up into the strato-
sphere in the last half of the sew
enth, filling the bases with one out
on Goslin's triple to right and walks
to Gehringer and Greenberg. Nc
Coll forced Goslin home with a run
by walking Owen, but checked the
rally beautifully by striking out
Schoolboy Rowe, hero of the Yankee
series, who was pinch-hitting for Mar
berry. Vic Sorrell finished the game
for Detroit and held Washington
runless in. the eighth and ninth.
Greensberg's homer, his sixteenth
Of the season, was not the only Tiger
uprising near the end. The tying runs,
represented by Hayworth and Owen,
who had singled, were on the base
paths in the ninth, but McColl was
equal to the occasion and struck out
Soluble and forced Fox to roll to
Kress.
Washington scored a run in its
first, on Schulte's walk, Manush's sin
gle to right center and Travis fielder's
choice. The Tigers tied it, IL, in
the same inning on Goslin's single
over Cronin and Gehringer's triple
to right, and they took a 81 lead in
the fifth when Fox drove Cochrane
In with double.
But then they fell prey to a vicious

erages, at regular intervals, will be-
stow a triumph on the Nationals

Three mighty home runs, which
came in the sixth inning when the

the dominent factors in the Washing

set. The trio of circuit clouts, pro-
duced by Ralph Kress, Luke Sewell
and Fred Schultz, came in a space Of
four batters and combined with
Buddy Myers subsequent double, gave
the Senators a total Of IA bases on
four hits, a modern record.

NEW yORK'S WIN
IS GIFT Of TRIBE
Six Bases on Balls Force in
Four Runs in Eighth in
7-to.4 Game.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ UE entirely to an almost
unprecedented wave Of
\ generosity developed
without warning by
Cleveland'S pitchers, the New
York Yankees were back knock
ing at the door to the American
League lead today.
The Yankees we're apparently heats
en-, 4-3, as Pinch Hitter Earle Combs
opened the ninth with a double, but
from there on it was a marathon as
three Indian flippers handed out six
bases on balls, forced four runs
across the plate and presented the
New Workers with one of the cheap
est victories they ever have earned,
7 to 4.
This anti-climatic ending to a ball
game that up to that point had been
a well-played, hard-fought duel,
boosted the Yankees back to within
half game of the pace-setting De-
troit Tigers, who dropped 1913 de-
cision to the Washington Senators.
Slab Trio Is Wild.
TTAL TROSKY'S eighteenth homer
i i with Earl Averill on base In the
eighth had given the Indians a
1-run lead that appeared good. But
after Combs double at the start Of
the ninth, Ralph Winegarner, Lloyd
Brown and Bob weiland suddenly
found 1t impossible to locate the plate.
Two pinch hitters, Red Rolfe and
Tony Lazzeri, as we'll as Babe Ruth,
Ben Chapman, Bill Dickey and Myril
Hoag all received free tickets to first
base, AMI the ball game was over.
Johnny Allen, making his first mound
appearance since May IL, received
credit for the victory, though lifted
for pinch hitter in the ninth. Red
Ruffing finished up.
Home runs by Ralph Kress, Luke
Sewell and Fred Schultz, featuring a
four-run drive in the sixth, and Joe
Cronin's double and Bob Burke's
triple, which marked a f1ve-run rally
in the seventh, enabled Washington
to whip Detroit The battling Tigers
went down fighting, however, match
ing the Senators quartet Of tallies in
the sixth with four of their own in
the last half, and scoring single runs
in the seventh and ninth, the last on
Hank Greenberg's home run.
SOx Teams Divide.
DOSTON'S Red Sox protected their
d grip on third place by splitting
two with the Chicago White
Sox. An early attack on Sad Sam
Jones, including a four-run burst in
the opening inning, gave Boston the
first game, 5-4, despite Zeke Bonura's
twentieth home run and AL Simmons
| fourteenth. Simmons fifteenth homer

No amateur crew can be trained in

than any pro, if only because of his
greater intelligence. But mark the
fact that time is required.
On a fiat scale British yacht sea-
men are paid less than the Scandi-
navian-Americans who mainly COM

Reason for Strike Not Clear.

Reason for Strike Not Clear.
TOR sailing Endeavour to this
II country, an arduous job, and
for racing her in American
waters, the challenger offered his men
$27.50 a week, with SIS extra per week
If Endeavour wins the cup.
While the facts are not entirely
clear. it would seem that the reason
the men struck was because of their
demand for additional extra pay for
services In taking the sloop across the
Atlantic.
Such was the reason given for the
strike of the Is members of the crew
of Shamrock II In 1901. Sir Thomas
offered them a bonus of $40 each
above their pay for the crossing. But
the seamen demanded $75 each for
going foreign" Upton refused to
raise the ante and when his men
walked out he filled their places with
other professionals. That strike was
an individual, not a union issue.
In the case of Endeavour's men,
the union seems to be involved,
which, Of course, is the reason why
he must turn to the amateurs.
Yachtsmen here hope he gets them
but are not too confident.
AS to any postponement that may
be necessary, Mr.. Sopwith says he Is
sure Of the sportsmanship of the de-
tending club, and here he stands on
firm ground. If he asks that the
series be deferred his request beyond
any doubt will be granted.
