The last time Rowe was beaten was good hunk farther back-June 10, to be ex- act, when he knuckled to Sad Sam Jones, of the White Sox. Snice then the schoolboy has beaten every club in the league at least once, and the White Sox three times.
 Lefty Goomez, fireball ace of the Yankees, drilled the Boston Red Sox for a 10-3 win, with Bill t11y Iot ho af bat. The Tanks filled the bases on Dickey's Single, LaZzeri's> ditto and wild throw by Ruben brought four runners over the rubber.
 Bumps Hadley bowled a five hit game for St Louis against the Chicago White SoX, winning S-2. Harland Gifts homer in the third put the Browns ahead.
 Washington staged game rally in the sixth inning, driving over four runs, but could not overcome a long lead taken by Philadelphia and the Athletics won, 8-6. Bill Dietrich held the Senators to four hits in six innings and slammed three hits in four tries.
 BreeZing In
 New York's Giants pulled away again in the National league chase, beating Boston 6-3 to gain a game on the losing Cubs. Carl Hubbell held the Braves while Hughie Critz. Mel Oott and Johnny Vergez hit homers.
 Chicago dropped four games be- hind, losing to the St Louis Cards 17-3. A nine-run rally in the third, in which the entire Cardinal team batted. gave Tex Carleton a win ming lead.
 Brooklyn knocked the Phillies well back into seventh place. win ming 5-3. Emil Leonard pitched the Dodgers to victory.
 Doubles by Pie Traynor and Tommy Thevenow in the ninth, with two out, gave Pittsburg an S-7 win over Cincinnati.
