Watching The Scorehoard —(U.R>— Yesterday's hero: "Wee Willie" Sherdel, St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, who held the Boston Braves to seven hits, allowing the Cardinals to increase their National league leadership to three and one-half games with a 7 to 3 victory. Jim Bottomley hit his 26th home run with two on base. He is now only one behind Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs. Joe Dugan and Tony Lazzeri returned to the New York Yankee's line-up, but they were not enough to win from the Chicago White Sox. Red Faber's offerings were a puzzle to the Yankees, the White Sox winning an 8 to 4 decision. Babe Ruth hit his 45th home run of the season. Crouse, Faber and Dugan also hit for the circuit. The Philadelphia Athletics missed another chance to cut down the Yankee’s lead by losing to the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 3. Sam Gibson and Jack Quinn battled to a scoreless tie until the seventh, with Orwell’s double Rending Miller home with the first run. The Athletics contributed the game in the eighth when two errors with three hits gave the Tigers four runs. The Chicago Cubs scored three runs in the ninth to defeat the New York Giants, 6 to 5. McMillan led the atJack on Genewich and Faulkner with a homo tun and two singles, Ott hit a home run off Bush in the fifth. Joe Shaute kept Boston’s eighth hits well scattered to give the Cleveland Indians a 7 to 6 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Hodapp knocked in three of the Indians runs. Sumka was forced from the game with injuries after crashing against the fence to catch Taitt’s long drive. Dazzy Vance received credit for his sixth straight win when he relieved Jess Petty in the second inning to give the Brooklyn Robins a 6 to 5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hillis and Harris each hit homers. The Cincinnati Red scored seven run in the eighth inning to win from the Philadelphia Phillies 11 to 4. Three errors by Ficano Thompson contributed to the Reds’ victohy.
