The Yankees held a two-game lead in the hectic American league race today, which isn't much at this stage of the race, but which seems like a gap to compare with Mammoth cave the way the contenders have been battling the past month. Cleveland topped the Red Sox. 5 to 4 to go into a second place tie at Boston, while the twin losses for the Whltw Sox dropped them 6 % games behind in fourth place, la other American league games, the Tigers topped the A'«. 8 to 4, - I 0 ! 1 3 to 0, while Washington woo a/7 to I decision from the - Browns, then loht $ to 6. « Brooklyn topped the Cardinals forfthe 12tl| sttfight time. 9 to 3 and the second Qilace Giants won! 3to 1 and 6 to 4 decisions from the!

Charles Gehringer To Succeed Evans Detroit. July 30.—(UP)— Charles Leonard Gehringer, who assumes the duties of vice president and general manager of the Detroit Tigers Oct. 1, said today there will he some new Ifaces among the Tigers next season. The 48-year-old former Detroit second baseman who will succeed Billy Evans in the front office, said “I'm still a little vague about my duties with the Tigers, but we will have some changes before next season." \ ; .A : “This all happened In quite a hurry, but I guess my job will be split up," he said. “I understand that some of the- usual financial duties of the general manager will be handled by someone else.” Gehinger was named Saturday by Tiger owner Walter O. Briggs to take over' the high-paying Job esttfi ‘mated at $50,000 a year when Evans made public his resignation after five years with Detroit. “I’ll have to study the record books quite a bit,” Gehringer said. “I’ve been away from baseball for almost 10 years, and I really haven’t been keeping in close contact with\the game. My business has kept me pretty busy.” If You Have Something To Sell l Try A Democrat Want Ad—lt Pay*.
