N yEW YORK, June 16.-The
{.j\ Yankees slashed their
" way into a clear lead over
a Detroit in the race for
the American League lead as
they defeated the Tigers, 8 to 4,
in the opener of their important
series today. The victory in
creased New York's lead from a
few percentage points to a full
game.
A six-run rally in the seventh, fea-
tured by Bill Dickey's pinch home run,
was the turning point of the game.
The outburst came just after the
Tigers had forged ahead with the aid
of a circuit swat by Charley Gehrin-
ger. and drove Tommy Bridges from
the hill Charley Ruffing came back
to win his sixth decision of the sea-
,ason, going the full route after having
been knocked out five times running.
- Up to the big seventh it was a
mound duel between Ruffing and
Bridges with both teams playing good
ball. The Yanks collected pair Of
sTuns in the fourth when Ben Chap
man smacked a single after Red Rolfe
and Lou Gehrig had connected for
Y base hits and Gehrig had occupied
second on the throw-in. Detroit got
one back in the fifth on singles by

Gerry walkers fly.

Z Gehringer's homer opened the
seventh. Rogell singled and stole sec.
end and Marvin Owen walked. Bridges
brought both runners in with dou-
BILE that completed the rally and put
Detroit ahead
Then singles by Gehrig and Chap
man and Myril Hoag's fly produced
New York run and Dickey socked the
ball into the bleachers for two more.
A walk finished Bridges and Eldon
Auker was touched for three more
hits and Mickey Cochrane tossed in

PORK Versus Sugar"
The Cuban trade problem was de-
ecribed by economists acquainted with
the problem as simmerinR down TO a
question Of pork versus sugar"
The United States would like 10 re-
gain q portion Of its lost pork market
In Cuba The island republic longs

again in the quantities she did three
and four years ago.
Both countries therefore are seek
ing 10 cut through some OF the tanRle
of tariffs 10 arrive at an equita BILE
agreement which would be mutually
helpful
Wallace and Welles had before
them in yesterdays conversation a re-
port on the economics Of the situa-
ton. II showed that during the years
l92s-32 the shrinking Cuban market
represented a loss TO the United States
equal TO the production value Of about
10000 acres OF land. In 1888 this
loss equaled the output Of about
.000.0 900 acres of land, most of 1t de-
voted to pork and lard production.
The United States would like TO see
a revision of Cuban tariffs on these
products. such as cut in the duty
on lard, which Is now about S2l a
hundred kilos Approximately 10 cents
a pound). plus an internal consump-
ton tax of $2-20 hundred kilos.
Olive Oil Tariff.
Meanwhile, the tariff on olive oil
from Spain, a competitor OF United
States lard, is set at So a hundred kilos.
A more equal exchange on this Situa-
ton Is aimed at in the treaty being
drafted and was regarded as somewhat
representative Of the situation in other
commodities.
The entering wedge In the Cuban
negotiations was held to be the con-
cessions given the island by the United
States under the Jones' -Costigan sugar
act in a large quota and subsequent
reduction Of the tariff on Cuban sugar
by one-half cent a pound.
Cuba holds favorable balance of
trade with the United States. Her
exports to this country in 1888 totaled
SIS, 500. 900, while her imports from
the United States totaled $24. 800 900.
