Watching The Scoreboard By UNITED BRERS Yesterday’s hero—George Haas, flist baseman for the .Phl'Jidelphia Athletics whose home run in the seventeenth inning gave the Athletics a 6 to 5 victory over Cleveland. The victory enabled the A's to gain a half game on the New York Yankees who did not play. Detroit took both ends of a double bill from Boston 7 to G and 4 to 3. The Tigers led front the second inning of the first game without being headed hut were forced to come from behind in the eighth inning of the second game to win. St. Louis muffed another chance to | pass the Giants in the National league race, losing to Brooklyn 3 to 2. Brooklyn had their runs before the Cardinals were able to score. Rabbit Maranville pulled the hidden ball trick effectively on Deberry, Brooklyn catcher in the seventh. The New York Giants dropped their second straight to the Cincinnati Reds 5 to 4. Melvin Ott drove in three runs with a triple in the fifth but Zltzman duplicated In the lust half of the Inning for Cincinnati and the Reds added two more tuns to clinch the game. Chicago’s Cubs, after dropping six straight to Philadelphia, finally turned the tables on the tailenders, 3 to 2. but it took them 12 innings to do it. Sand fumbed Heathcote’s grounder in the 12th to let score winning run. Pittsburgh stopped Boston 10 to 3 , in the last of their series. With the score tied at 3 each in the third, Pittsburgh scored two runs for a lead that never lias threatened. * ************ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * * * * * * ******** By UNITED PRESS Paul Waner (326) hit a triple, a double and a single in four trips, driving in three runs.

Son of Famous Spitbalier a Pitcher Like His Daddy l

Young Ed. Walsh Brings Back Olden, Golden Days of Baseball By JAMES V. KEENE International Illustrated News Sports Editor NEW YORK.—Ghuuts of the past hovered over Yankee Stadium the other day. For a brief apace the olden, golden days of baseball were back. Out there on the mound the soa of a famous father pitched the kind of ball that his daddy used to pitch, losing his game only when the game's greatest batsman lammed out his thlrtyntntb homer of the season. It was a typical Ruthlan smack that the big fence-buster uncorked In the fatal seventh, and the crowd rose to Its feet and acclaimed the hero. Rut the biggest cheer of the afternoon went up as young Ed Walsh, the son of Btg Ed of White Sox fame, trudged to the clubhouse, relieved by a pinch hitter In the eighth. For this youngster with a right arm of braided steel, a month out of the classic halls of Notre Dame, had turned back the crovsdlng years and showed the kind of stuff that made Els Ed the greatest spttball pitcher of his time and one of the greatest of si) time. For five Innings he held the Yanks In the hollow of his big hand, hitless and runless. For six Innings he dipped them In kalsomlne with a strong right arm that gave off a baffling fast ball and a knuckle ball and a deceptive change of pace Serene, Impassive, business-like, this scion of a great daddy went along, making the Yankees' “murderers’ row" look silly, while his parent and mentor. Big Ed. looked on critically from the Chicago dugout Then it nappened. In the seventh. with two balls and no strikes the count on Ruth, young Ed lammed one over on the inside and
