come to an end, including the remark
able winning streak which carried the
Detroit Tigers pennantward for more
than two weeks.
After IA consecutive triumphs, the
Tigers struck double Wednesday when
the Yankees and young Johnny
Broaca subdued them 8 to 2 In the
third game Of their highly important
set Of five. AS result the Detroit
lead had been reduced to 5h games
Thursday and the Yankees position
looked somewhat more hopeful as they
moved into the fourth contest with
two more Of the younger generation,
Johnny Murphy and Eden Auker.
slated for mound duty.
Broaca, although he allowed ten
hits, had control Wednesday and
Tommy Bridges, who opposed him,
did not. That was the deciding fac
tor of the contest. In the first two
innings Bridges gave three walks and
two of them resulted in runs when
Chapman followed with q single in
the first and Frank Crosetti clouted q
home run in the second. The Yanks
went on to get two more runs before
Tommy retired at the end Of five in
nings and raked his two successors,
Carl Fischer and Luke Hamlin, for
three more tallies.
Broaca In Form
Meanwhile Broaca didn't issue q
pass, scattered the ten hits over six
separate innings and got some great
support from Babe Ruth on the one
occasion when he got into serious
trouble. With the Tigers threatening
to stage one OF their typical come
back rallies in the sixth, the Babe
fielded Charley Gehringer's drive fast
to delay one run and made q great
running catch Of Billy Rogell's fly to
help shut off the uprising with only
Two runs.
The crowd as we'll as the result was
in distinct contrast to that Of Tuesday
when Detroit won two games. Instead
|of 10000 fans, only about $1,000 were
present on drab afternoon.
Adverse weather forced the Nation
al League leaders. Giants, to spend
six hours in dividing double bill with
Pittsburgh. The first game had hard
~ started when q thunderstorm struck
the field and delayed progress for
nearly two hours. The Giants went
on from there to score four runs In
the. first inning when Travis Jackson
smashed a home run with two aboard
and won, S to 4. Pittsburgh replied
with q I to triumph when Waite
Hoyt elaborated with Freddy Lind
strom and Gus Suhr to beat the
league leaders.
Hoyt. who had gained the decision
as q relief pitcher, Tuesday. gave only
eight hits, and, as In the series opener,
Lindstrom and Suhr hit q double and
q single respectively for the winning
run, which came in the eighth. AS q
result, the Giants remained four
games ahead Of the idle Cubs and
Pittsburgh a game behind Boston.
Reds, Dodgers Split
Another National League double
header resulted in an even break
when the last-place Reds belted Van
Mungo. Brooklyns star pitcher, for q
Z to S decision In the opener and the
Dodgers retaliated by winning to 4.
The Athletics downed the White
sox twice with the aid Of timely home
runs to make it five In q row. Jim
ME Foxx clouted his 37th homer with
two aboard in the eighth to give Mer-
rit Cain to 4 victory In the opener
while Dib Williams circuit blow was
q big factor in the 2 to l second VIC
tory In q mound clash between Bill
Dietrich and Les Tietje. Foxx's homer
! put him level with Lou Gehrig In the
major league race and just q shade
ahead Of Babe Ruth's record pace Of
1927.
The only other game saw southpaw
George 'Rube" Walberg surpass the
previous days effort Of Lefty Grove
when he pitched the Red sox to
to triumph over the Browns Grove
had allowed six hits; Walberg gave
only five.
