world by striking out II men to
break the American league record,
then injured his pitching arm in
his first game this year. This was
hsa third start, and his third loss.
Singles by York and Greenberg
were the only safeties he permit

to control the ball that enabled
another rookie, Boots Poffen-
berger, who scattered five hits TO
the Indians, to win out.
With one out in the sixth, Bob
filled the bases on walks, then
famed Greenberg and Walker,
but a wild pitch to the latter cost
him the tying run. He lost IN the
ninth when Gehringer and Green
berg were given free tickets to
first. Gehringer went to third on
Walkers infeild out, and scored
on York's safety.
The victory enabled the Tigers
to move into second place above
the Chicago White Sox who divi-
ded pair with the st. Louis
Browns. The five hit pitching of
Jack Knott cost the White Stock
ings Il Al decision in the opener,
but they came back to edge out a
4-3 victory in the second. STRAIT
ton and Koupal dueled all the
way in the latter, each doing out .
seven hits, but victory went to
the former when Chicago batsmen
punched theirs more effectively.
The leading New York Yankees
stopped the Washington Senators,
4-3, in the first game of the af-
ternoon, then battled 5-5 dead

for his 18th win of the year.
Gehrig and Dickey homered for
New York.

within a half game of third place
by walloping the Philadelphia At

ner across in the fifth when he
got to first on forceout, and
came around on singles by Vaughn !
and Suhr. Bill Swift held the
Cubs to six hits, and the Pirates
got all of their nine hits off Lee
who was relieved by Shoun in the
eighth. ]
