For one inning everything ran to

thereafter it was different.
Howell yielded another hit in the
second and third innings. but from

The New York Yankees, whose
pennant possibilities never have been
in any serious .predicament, have
reached the point where they can
clinch their seventh American
League championship in eight years
tomorrow.
Apparently realizing that they
were running behind the timetable
they had established in previous
years, the Bombers bowled over the
Detroit Tigers AZ yesterday and now
need only three more victories to
eliminate the Washington Senators
and two to dispose of Cleveland.
Defeats for the Senators and In
dians would hasten the process so
that the Yanks might get the Job
done in two days instead of three.
They showed adequate authority
in tanning the Tigers, with Charley
Keller hitting a three-run homer,
his 29th of the year, in the first in
ming and Hank Borowy pitching
seven-hit ball for his sixth consecu-
tive victory and 10th in II games.
Cleveland Game Postponed.
Washington split with st. Louis
and Cleveland's game at Boston was
postponed, making double header
today.
In the National League Mort
Cooper chalked up his 21st success
against eight defeats, but did not
look overly impressive as the St.
Louis Cardinals beat the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 4-3.
Mort gave nine hits and 1t was his
brother, Walker Cooper, who put
across the victory. The big catcher
made four hits, accounting for two
runs on homer and another on a
single, while st. Louis other tally
was forced over on a walk by Rookie
Rex Barney.
The Dodgers defeat frightened
the National League scramble for
second place as Cincinnati split a
double bill with the New York
Giants Elmer Riddle came up with
his Goth triumph in the opener,
which the Reds took 4-2 in spite of
four-hit hurting by Rookie Bill
Voiselle. A two-run single by Ray
Mueller and a two-run homer by
Estel Crabtree furnished the Reds
runs. In the second game the Giants
routed Bucky Walters with five
run seventh inning and won 10-4.
Etchinson Hits in Pinch.
Boston beat Pittsburgh. So with
a three-run eighth-inning rally

newcomer, Butch Etchinson, and the

sonal record. His best previous
mark was 81 stolen bases in 1882
Moses went one up on Case,
though, when he stole three bases
against the Athletics. Since Chicago
has two more games to play than
Washington, Moses has a definite
advantage, but Early and perhaps
Angelo Giuliani may offset that

plagued OsSie Witt as a Cleveland

more sympathetic toward dis

Boudreau is surrounded by the
remnants of a flock of revolutionists
that have been assembled over a

with the tempestuous Johnny Allen
or Ben Chapman, former Cleveland
groaners. He isn't perturbed when
Roy Weatherly fumes because it
isn't his business. Weatherly has
shifted to the Yankees and seems
satisfied with the arrangement.
Rollie Hemsley's conduct is no
concern of Boudreau's because
Rollie also now is with the Yankees
