Ferrel.', playing bls second | geaeon with BoalJ-n is a major i factor in their drive for third place I this year. • When -the season started. Wes Mid he intended to win 22 games ; and break two batting records for: pitchers. One mark he is after was m>t by. him in 1931 while with ( Cleveland —nine homers in one, season. The other record he is : shooting at is 30 runs batted in by j a pitcher in one year. . By now its evident that Ferrell was making no idle boast when he threatened to better those standards. He already has hit seven homers and batted in 21 runs. His 18 games won constitute the most j victories turned in this year by a • major league hurler. If he continues his present pitch-1 ■:ng pace he may top his 1930 peak season, when he won 25 games ami tost 13 for Clevelnd. Yesterday Ferrell won his 18th game as he pitched and batted his mates to victory over the Phila.de.'-' phia Athletics, 7-6, in the opening l game of a doubleheader. The A's tied the score in the ninth and Ferrell started a tenth-inning rally with a single. He took second on a sacrifice and scored the winning run when Roy Johnson singled. The Athtletics won 4-3, in the nightcap, which was called in the eighth beca.’tse of the Sunday baseball law. The league leading Detroit Tigers Increased their margin over the New York Yankees to 4% games with a 7-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians, while the Yankees lust. 11-10, to Washington’s Senators.
