NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-While
New York Giants were slowly
blasting the pennant hopes of
Chicago Cubs in the National
League yesterday afternoon, New
York Yankees were putting the
American League flag Gin the

Yes, sir! Murderers' Row re-
mains supreme in the younger
circuit, despite the fact. they lost
to st. Louis Browns.
They can thank Detroit Tigers,
or, more so, Boston Red Sox, for
that. With the defeat of the
Tigers by the Gold Sox yesterday,
Cochrane's mems mathematical
chances went with it. Even if
they won all their games and the
Yanks lost all of their remaining
contests they still would not tie
or overtake the New Workers, who
have an II 1-2 game lead.
The Browns got at Red Ruff
ing yesterday and chased him
from the mound. Altogether, the
Brownies poled II hits and scored
nine runs, with the aid of two
Yankee errors. The New York
ers were held to nine safe blows
and five runs by Trotter.
Tony Lazzeri slammed a home
run for the Yanks and the Brown
les poled two.
In a fair pitching duel between
Auker of the Tigers and Rookie
Henry of the Boston Red Sox, the
latter club edged out the former
team, A to 8. Auker limited the
victors to six hits.
Another and better played tight
game was between Chicago White
Sox and Philadelphia Athletics,
which the Chisox won, 1 to 0.
Whitehead handcuffed the AS
with seven safe blows, while the
combined pitching of Ross and
Smith allowed only six bingles.
Washington Senators nosed out
Cleveland Indians, 8 to 2, despite
the fact they committed four er-
rors.
