that Turner don't like to give runs
away. He is very thrifty. What
has he got? Well, he's got a lot of
pitching smartness, and good control
ana a deceptive curve. He don't give
you anything to swing at. PLAYS those
corners. Cy Blanton pitched a nice
game against him, but the pitcher
don't live who can win with no runs
That was tough on us. but the
next day young Bauers came up and
threw that shutout right back at the
Bees. Yes, sir, he's been 4 life saver
to us these last few weeks, Young
Bauers. The rest of the pitchers
have been in and out, hot and cold.
but the kid has pitched stand-up
ball right along He can start a
game or he can save one. That's why
we're winning.
Hes got future, too. I'm not
foollng myself about this club. It
could do with little building and
repairing, and when We build next
year. we could do worse than build
around Bauers. A young, strong
pitcher with speed and a curve and
a winning isposition-thats what
every manager wants on his club"

THE American League landslide, on
the other hand, begins to look
more and more one Of those things
as the days slip past and the Yankees
1917 game lead looms as big as a
mountain and as easy to cut down.
The Yanks polished off the Browns,
5-1, yesterday with the aid of Joe
Di Maggio's thirty-seventh homer,
thereby eliminating the Brownies from
all mathematical hope in the pennant
parade-not that they had much on
April TO-. at that.
Roxie Lawson singled with the bases
loaded in the ninth to win his own
game and give the Tigers a 6-5 deci-
sion over the Red Sox Mel Harder
breezed along to a 1915 win for the
Indians over the Athletics.
