FSSOCldleQ fGtSS SpOltS WTlltl
1t has been suspected all season
that the Yankees consist of Joe Dl
! Maggie and a bunch of other ball
players, and the things that have
been happening to Joe McCarthy's
club since Di Mag turned his ankle
Tuesday in Detroit only point up the
fact.
Without their big puncher, the
Yankees have lost three straight
games, making only two scratch hits
in one game and submitting rather
meekly in the pinches. When Jim
Bagby of the Cleveland Indians
checked them yesterday, 5 and 4, 1t
was almost too much.
Di Maggie seems to supply most of
the inspiration for the Yanks.
Charley Keller, who is sluggeroo
when Joe is in there batting in front
of him, has hit safely only once in
the last three contests, and that
was a scratch single. The other
Yanks appear similarly affected.
No Cause for Alarm.
Luckily for the New Workers, their
lead is ridiculously long, so the tenn
porary absence of Di Maggie is moth
ing to worry about. But, just the
same, Manager Mccarthy and all
his boys will heave sigh OF relief
when Joe returns.
Their last two losses cost the
Yanks nothing in the standing. for
the Chicago White SoX cooled of
abruptly and dropped two straight
to Boston yesterday by score OF
2-1. Joe Dobson held the runners
up to six hits, and the Red Sox
thereby climbed within a game and
half of second place.
frankie Hays clouted a seventh
inning homer as the Athletics nosed

Brooklyns game and half lead
over the st. Louis Cards in the Ma
tional League remained unchanged
as both won yesterday and moved a
notch nearer their breathlessly-
awaited clash tomorrow at Ebbets
Field.
Cincinnati Rush Halted.
The Dodgers scored an easy one
over the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 5,
pounding out five runs off Paul
Erickson in the first two innings, but
the crippled Cardinals had struggle
to overcome the Phillies, to 2, in 10
innings. Herman Triplett, reserve
outfelder, settled it with a homer
in the extra frame with mate on
base. Lon Warneke went the dis
tance for the Cards, allowing seven
hits.
Cincinnati's headlong dash toward
the top was halted by Jim Tobin of
the Boston Braves, who set the world
champions down 9-1, with the aid of
some lusty hitting by Max West. 1t
was the second loss in 13 games for
the Reds.

1t was bad fodder, whatever 1t

caused him to be charged with his
only defeat of the season. Just as
he was about to register his seventh

was one bad bite, no?
Alejandros food delivered its

Alexandra had things pretty much

is true the Tigers had a man on

filled the bases in the third. But

by spectacular plays. One of these

made a great stop of a drive by
Frank Croucher, and the other by
Alexandra himself He took a chance
of being skulled by taking a drive
from the bat of Pinky Higgins and
throwing to first for the putout.
Those were the only innings in
which Alexandra experienced real
trouble. He held the Tigers to five
hits up to the ninth, four of them
being singles, and the fifth double.
But in the ninth, Alexandra sud-
denly weakened, due no doubt to

the Tigers had put across five runs
to steal the ball game, three of the
runs scoring on a winning
home run by Barney McCosky.
