Yankees And 'l igers Fighting For Cellar New York, Muy l‘.( Losing ball gatn<-s with m perfection that has bo n equalled by few other good duha, the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers are fighting to take away from Boston last place in the American league. The two teams picked ns sure pennant, contenders, are going so badty that the annual rumors of a change in management are heard. There probably Is little to the rumors. •'Miller Huggins can have his job with the Yankees as long as he wants it," one of the officials of the Yankee club said today. "We are tired of denying rumors." Ty Cobb is Just as secure in the regard of his employers but the fans of Detroit are said to be sour on him and it is understood that a petition is being circulated to take the Tigers out of his hands and give Hilly Evans. Ameiiean league umpire, well known for diplomacy, a chance to handle the club. While the Yankees and the Tigers am giving an exhibition of the most modern methods of losing games, the Philadelphia Athletics are giving lessons to the other teams in the most approved fashion of winning. Connie Mack's speeding youngsters went through the week without losing a game and have chalked up nine victories in a row. Gray. Rommel and Harris are pitching the best ball in the major leagues. The champion Washington Senators won five of their seven games last week and are hodding a commanding position. The Cleveland Indians copped four of their six games and they look good for the season. The White Sox in dropping only two of their six starts look like a first division certainty. The National league nennant race continues to hold the prospect of • a runaway for the New York Giants. I The Cincinnati Reds, which seem to be the best team in the league outside of New York, had a disastrous smash in losing the entire series to the champions. aml| they dropped from second to fifth place. The Cubs also hit the bumps last week and fell to seventh position. After a miserable start the Pittsburgh Pirates finally got together and they are now in fourth place and almost certain to ■ go higher as the Phillies have no I business in the first dfvfision and 1 cannot hope to remain where they' are. x oNotre Dame Mourns Death Os Father Timothy Mahar — : South Bend.
