TIGERS ADD TO | LEAGUE MARGIN Detroit Beats White Sox As Yankees Lose Double Header New York. Auk. 12.— <U-R> — The champion Detroit Tigers, booming | along just as they were a year ago, j praduaJlv are asserting their su- j pwiotlty In the American league. Exactly two weeks after th-ey captured the lead from the New; York Yankees, the Tigers possess; a six-game margin and threaten to - make another runaway race out of :he pennant battle. Mickey Cochrane’s men haven't | lost a game this month, and while they were chalking up that record • the opposition faltered badly. The second-place New York Yankees slowly but surely are fading] from the picture. In 12 starts this montU..they've won only six. The Chicago White Sox, in the race all season, have lost ten and won one since the end of July and trail the Tigers by 12 games. The Yankees still are a threat, but injuries have robbed them of valuable p’ayers and the will to win seems on the wane. This week should reveal whether the Yanks are to remain contenders. They begin their last] western invasion against Cleveland on Tuesday. Friday they open a series at Detroit. The last time these contenders clashed the Yankees successfully defended thetr lead on their home field. If the Yanks can cop the series they may ■ gain enough confidence from that to remain in the race. If they fail, the Tigers ought to breeze to their second title. The Yankees los*t a game and a. 1 half to the Tigers yesterday bydropping a doufi’e decision to ( Philadelphia's Athletics, 8-5 and 5-4. while Detroit was defeating the Chicago White Sox, 4-1. Washington and Boston split, the Senators winning the first, 4-2, and the Red Sox the second. 5-4. Cleveland de- ( seated St. Louis, 10-7. in the opening game. The nightcap was ed because of darkness in the 11th,, with the score 7-7. In the National league, the New York Giants had a full game chopped from their slim first-place mar-, gin by losing, 2-0, to Philade’phia, | while the Chicago Cubs halted the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2. The Cubs. | in third place, ‘trail the Giants by. 2% games, while the second place] Cards technically are three games] behind. The Cubs, although closer to the Giants in games, remain third in percentage because they have played more games than the Cards. Brooklyn defea ed Boston, 7-5, and 3-2. Cincinnati and Pittsburge split, Pittsburgh taking the] first, 5-4, and losing the second, 4-3. o HOME RUNS Greenberg, Tigers 31 Berger, Braves 25 Ott, Giants 24 Johnson, Athletics 21 Camilli, Phillies 21

Ca'.— (U.R) —Since a misty dawn In March. 1803, when t the Yankee brig Lelia Byrd raced , . to freedom under heavy tire from . Spanish guards, forts of Point ■ Loma have been deserted. i The running battle of the I-elia Byrd with Spanish short placements, guarding the suspected smuggling vessel, marked the last - ■ battle on the point, and for years , only a “careteaker’s crew" has eni tered the deserted streets of Fort Rosecrans, formerly the Spanish Fort Guijarros. Now the old fort is -to be re- ; built into what army officials declare will be one of the most vital < defense units on the Pacific coast, j . The war department estimates ex- i penditures wL’l total $200,000. Within the past few weeks, 27 men ha.ve been added to the 48 ; who have been stationed there un-’ der command of Capt. P. W. Har-, die. only commissioned officer at I the fort. Gunnery Expert Added Among new additions is Lieut. William Moo-re, expert in aircraft gunnery, who is to have an im--1 portant part in renovation of the 1 post. With a lieutenant-colonel in 1 charge, the fort will be built up to ! a personnel of at least 150 men, -the 'war department has announced. Quaters on the main avenue of the fort will accommodate 300 men. and more extensive barracks are ] expected to be built soon.. |l Definr'.e improvements have not 1 been announced, but Washington 11 dispatches said part of the money j 1 would be spent for new- firing plat- - forms and observation towers. Hidden Guns Preserved Sides of the wooded canyon overlooking the bay channe 1 near the fart are spotted with hidden guns, all of which Capt. Hardie says have been kept in good condition. First fortifications were erected on the point in 1780 when the Spaniards, fearful of Russian encroachment from the north, drew plans for Fort Guijarros. Constructed of four-foot-thick ] abode blocks, the fort was hailed as one of the strongest fortifications of its -time. The Point Loma property passed to the United States in February, I 1848, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the war with Mexico. Three years later, -the present for was erected and dedi-' cated to Gen. William Rosecrans, i Civil War commander. I

THE HIGHWAYS OF BUYING “Follow the highway markings and you can’t go wrong.’ ... That’s the advice the Automobile Club gives you before starting on a motor trip. You follow the wellknown, well-marked roads. And you reach your destination the safest, most comfortable way. Why not follow the same rule in your shopping? Why not stick to the “highways of buying?” They have been just as carefully plotted, and are just as carefully marked as the great motor roads you’ve come to depend upon. Marked by the trade-names of reliable, advertised products. I The next time you go shopping follow these “highways.” Before you start, look through the advertisements in these columns. Pick out the products you want. Notice the trade-names that identify them. And then ask for them, by name. i * * ♦ The advertisements are sign-posts to guide you to the best and most reliable merchandise.
