I LOSS OF GROVE HURTS RED SOX I Detroit Retains League Lead; Cubs Gain On [ Giants > — ; New York, Aug. 3.— (UR) -Bos- . , ton's red faced Red Sox departed I from the Yankee stadium last night > i muttering something about a "himi dred thousand dollar sore arm." I Traced to Its source, the com- . I merit refers to the aching elbow of ' . I Robert Moses Grove, a high priced I specimen of ivory who was retail- ’ ed to the Boston club by Connie , Mack. t The Athletics are in seventh . place today, but Connie Mack proII sited heavily in transactions in . baseball merchandise last winter, ! including the sale of Grove to Bos- ■ ton for Fioo.tmo and no doubt will , [ be able to endure. . I Boston, now in fourth place, is | nine games out of first, and the , Red Sox point to that margin as ; exactly the difference between the number of games Grove has won and tlie number lie was expected to win. Grove has won four; he was figured for twenty. The Red Sox are batting .292. ■ Bill Werber, Roy Johnson. Rick Ferrell, Carl Reynolds and Julius Solters are all hitting over .300. They have everything but pitching, and Grove might have supplied that. Yesterday they dropped the series to New York, three to one, I losing to the Yankees in a barrage' I of hitting in which Gehrig accountj ed for a single, two doubles and al I homer against Rube Walberg and . . Johnny Welch. The figures were 1 12-4. ■ Detroit remained at the top of ■ the league as Elden Auker shut out Cleveland, 3-0. St. Louis knocked off the closing game of their series with the White ' Sox. 9-8. Clift s triple. West's ' double and Burns' triple scored; three runs in the ninth to win the | , game. Washington and Philadelphia .' were idle. The Giants had a game of their ; | four-game lead sliced off by the ' I Boston Braves, Ed Brandt giving i them only two hits in an 8-0 shut-1 out. Chicago won over St. Louis I to gain a game on the leaders. Woody English led the Cubs' at- j ' tack, driving in four runs with a , ; homer and two singles behind Bill I Lee's nine-hit twirling.' Chicago | ; 1 won. 6-2. ; Brooklyn boosted itself into sixth | ; place over the Phillies, Al Lopez' i homer in the ninth scoring an 8-7 ! victory over Philadelphia.
