Bob Feller Is Defeated By Chicago Sox New York. April IT—(VP)— American league batters read the sport page* with sprouting hope today, finding the story of the Chicago White Sox' mistreatment of ' Bob Feller almost a* Interesting as the box-score line* devoted to their own name*. It may be true what they said about Feller. They said the big ' firebailer had lost some of hl* fire during hl* service In the navy, and that rapid Robert had slowed down to where ordinary mortal* , could see him and upon occasion ; bit him a* though he pitched for j the Athletic*. Fefler came back late In thei ' 1915 season and was unimpressive] as he won five and lost three. However, no one held it against him because of hi* late start, but the' talk of a declining fast ball revlv-! ed during spring training. | The Indian ace quieted the d|*-| < u*sion with a three hit Job on the ] White Sox to open the season, but | Feller hasn't won since then. He lost a 10-lnning six-hit 3 to 2 game to Detroit, and yesterday gave up nine hit* In losing. 4 to 2. Four of the hit* came In succession in the fifth inning as the Box scored all their runs, and it was this brusque treatment of the pitcher who is supposed to blow the men down that encouraged other teams, most of whom have been blown down with regularity In the pant. Feller's misfortune stole the spotlight from the more normal proceedings in other games. The New York Yankee* and Poston Red Box both hit hard and often to win their game* and move Into] a first-place tie in the American league as the St. Ijouis Browns' edged Detroit. The Yank* outslugged Washington. 11 to a* Joe DiMaggio hit 1 two homers and Tom Henrich one Bherry Robertson homered for* the Senators, who took an early lead off Joe Page and then wilted under the heavy Yankee barrage. Sid Hudson was lhe lo«er and Jake Wade the winner. ' Boston got all-hit pitching by iMve Ferri** to go with It* 11 hit* off Dick Fowler and Worm Brown, and turned In a 7 to 0 victory with the aid of five A’» errors. Virgil Truck* of Detroit and Nelson Potter of St. Louis engaged in a tight pitching duel which went to Potter on Joe Grace'* ninth-inning homer, 3 to 2. Potter 1 allowed only three hits during the final six inning*. St. Loui* hit safely in every inning but the fifth, but Trucks allowed only single run* in the third and fourth i before Grace's homer. Only two games were played in' the National league, with Brooklyn holding ita halfgame league lead over St. Loui* by beating the New York Giant*. 11 to 3. while St. i Ixmis tripped Pittsburgh. 3 to 2. The Dodger* got 10 hit*, six for extra bases, and sewed up the game with a five-run burst In the fifth. Ed Stevens' homer wa* the big blow of the inning. Vic lombard) scattered nine Giant hit* a* he maintained hi* mastery of them. He hasn't lost In six stuns against New York Ince coming into the league. St. Louis scored two run* in the GUNTIR KAPPEL, LiegniU, Ger- i many, is shown alter he wa* unmasked a* a German spy who, for more than a year, paaoed himself off a* a captain in the U, B. < Army.
