The Tigers, winners in all seven of
their games last week, came up from
fourth to tie for second and pushed
the New York Giants down to fourth
place. But the st. Louis Cardinals, also
winning seven, made the biggest ad-
vance, from tenth to fifth. The Red
birds record is II and 10 and the
Giants 16 and 6.
The National Leaguers saw their
margin in inter-league competition cut
considerably. The standing now is:

to the 36-3l score of week ago.
Top team in inter-league competi-
