AHEAD IN LEAD.

Game; Cards Defeat

NEW YORK. Aug. %. CUP.
Detroit's pennant-bound ball club
moved a game further away from
New York's second place Yankees
Yesterday as Schoolboy Rowe
rang up his 18th consecutive VIC
tory for the Tigers while the
Yankees lost.
New York is now FIVE and a
half games behind the Tigers. De-
spite the return to batting form
of Columbia Lou Gehrig, who
blasted out his 9Sth and S9th
home runs against the Browns,
the Yanks were unable to push
over their fourth win of the Sc
ries with St. Louis, losing 30:
Led by Ray Pepper, who smackeo
three singles and double IN nve
tries, the Browns piled up win
ming lead and stalled off a blister
ing three-run Yankee rally in the
9th, which fell two short of tying
up the game.
Schoolboy Rowe advanced to
within a game of tying the Amer
lean league consecutive game rec
ord of Is, held jointly by Joe
Wood of Boston, Walter Johnson
OF the Senators and Bob Grove
of the Athletics. The Ozark schol-
ar closed the series in Boston
with an S-4 verdict, giving nine
hits, tanning five and waking
two. Homers by Marvin owen
and Yank Greenberg helped De-
troit win.
Piling up nine runs, aided by
six bases on balls, the Cleveland
Indians overcome an elght-run
lead in the ninth inning against
the Athletics yesterday and won
1911. Alton Benton, the Athlet-
ics' starting pitcher, issued eight
passes, three in the ninth. The
last forced in Knickerbocker, and
Cascarella replaced Benton. he
walked two and Cain was called
in. He walked the first man to
face him, giving two hits and
with the winning run on base Roy
Mahaffey came to the rescue ana
delivered the run that won.
Chicago and Washington had
played on a previous date.
The Chicago Cubs lost chance
ia cut off a game from New York's
long lead when they succumoed
to the educated slants of Fidgety
Phil Collins, who toiled the Phil
lies home, 6-1. Collins gave only
six hits, walked none, and with
the exception of Augie Galan's
homer in the eighth, only one Cub
reached third. Three straight er-
rors filed the bases on Lon War,
neke in the sixth when the Pills
scored two, enough to win.
Errors proved costly for the
Giants as they dropped a AS YER
dict to the Cincinnati Reds. Ira
Wis Jackson's boot put Chick Ha-
fey aboard in the fifth, after Fred
Fitzsimmons had pitched scoreless
ball for four heats. The Redlegs
began to slam Fat Freely and
scored four times before Al Smith
was hustled in to replace him.
st. Louis again profted by
lapses of the leaders, beating Bos-
ton 6-2, to draw within a half
game of the Cubs, six games be-
hind the Giants. The Cardinals
stacke dup the wi nj nth esecon
stacked up the win in the second
on two singles, a walk and a two
base hit that scored three runs.
In the ninth Randy Moore, Brave
ringhtfelder, hit the first ball
pitched for a homer.
Brooklyn closed it's stand in
Pittsburgh with 9-5 decision off
three Pirate hurlers-Hal Smith,
Larry French and Charlie Lucas.
The Pirates took an early lead,
but the Dodger set upon French
in the fifth, chased Larry to the
showers and took a winning lead.
They added four more in the 9Th
and coasted home.
