Big Lead in Race
Makes Yanks'
Play S|ipshod
Night Come Dropped
TO Tribe; National
Loop Roined Out
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

The race in the American League
has become so dull that the teams
now are playing "give-away" Even
the world champion New York
Yankees are taking part.
The Yankees dropped the second
straight last night, in a 4-3, 10
inning debacle, which must have
amused the $4,000 spectators present
at Cleveland, town which by this
time should have a well-developed
sense of baseball humor.
Three pitchers muffled the Bronx
Bombers with four hits, two Of them
bringing run in the first inning.
Hal Trosky hit his 23d homer with
one on in the fourth to lift the
Tribe in front and then the boys
started to play-but not baseball.
In the seventh Joe Gordon walked,
went to second on an error, to third
on a sacrifice and scored on AL Mil
mars wild pitch. In the eighth
Bruce Campbell made a three-base
blunder on fly by Red Rolfe, who
scored on single.
Murphy Takes Beating.
In the ninth, Lefty Gomez walked
batter with the bases loaded to
tie the score, and in the 10th Ben
Chapman was walked by Johnny
Murphy and subsequently scored the
winning run on Ken Keltner's third
single.
1t was the second setback in two

The Boston Red Sox passed up the
chance to chisel another nick in
New York's 12-game lead by tossing
a 7-6 decision to the Tigers. although
getting three home runs and outhit-

After Earl Averill homered with
one on in the first. the Red Sox got
to Rookie Freddy Hutchinson in the
third and fourth for a tl1ree-run
homer by Ted Williams and circuit
clouts by Jim Tabor and Moe Berg,
the latter's first home run since 1885.
Detroit got back two runs on one

So far the Senators have played
two nocturnal engagements, one at
Philadelphia and one at Cleveland,
losing both, and they freely admit
they don't care to ply their trade
after dark. They maintain it's hard
