it is TO be one fall or best two

These will be decided Monday.

Trout held the White Sox TO
seven well-scattered hits and gave
up only two bases on balls as he
fashioned one of the best pitched
games the Tigers have enjoyed
since the season got under way.
The White Sox captured the
first game, I'll.

veteran Baer manager. Ancil Hoff-

Californian as he stood in his
corner apparently ready to fight.
This was in the seventh stanza

representing the first heavyweight
championship prize fight in the
history of Washington. 1t followed
terrific fifth and an even moro
furious sixth that saw Louis,
blinded with the blood from a
badly cut eye, drop his huge adj
versary three times for counts OF
seven, nine and one :.
BAER READY TO GO
Definitely saved by the bell, and
dragged to his corner like a huge
sack of stove bolts by his scurry-
ing handlers, Baer was propped in
his angle with seconds working
like beavers. But the weakened
