TANKS STOPPED GOLD BY TROUT
 FOR TIGER WIN
BeneaIs Get Off io Good Start in Critical
 Bronx Series
lBy The Associated Pressl

Steve O'Neill expects the Tanks to give his Detroit Tigers the toughest wrestle for the American League flag, despite the humiliating 10-0 walloping the New Workers took in the opener of their seven game series.
 Dizzy Trout shut out the Tanks with seven hits yesterday for his fourteenth of the campaign. It was a gaudy job in keeping with the Trout standard of last year.
 The National League popped up with another headache. St. Louis and Pittsburgh went 12 innings to an 8-8 tie, called to allow Pirates to catch a train for home. It ap- peared unlikely the game would be finished unless the National League orders it replayed on an open date during the final week of the season.
 All other teams were unscheduled.
