Yankees Grab Top Spot From Shaky Indians New York, j Aug. 31.— Jimmy Dykes, the little round man of the Athletics, was making good today on a promise of two weeks ago in which he said, “naturally we haven’t got a chance for the pennant, but UH bet decide who will Win it.” What a prophet he turned out to be. At his first opportunity, he brought the Athletics into Cleveland and knocked the Indians out of first place by winning two out of three gamps, taking the rubber match, 6 to 2 yesterday as lefty Morris. 1 Martin, a rookie, pitched a steady ; eight-hltter, ? It was the thjrd time this yean the lowly but lethal Athletics had knocked a team ’out of first place. They did it earlier: to the White Sox and the Yankees and Dykes can hardly wait novi until Labor Day when his boys take on the Yankees in a double bill at Philadelphia. They have won two SoublehPaders from . the Yankees already. , Martin, winning his 10th game, topped Bobby who was stopped once again ln\quest 'ot his 21st victory. Cocky Fetris >\Fain, the stylish first baseman, set the hitting pace with two runs batted in. The Indians got a home run out of Bob Kennedy. But Kennedy became the goat of the game by dropping a fly ball for an error that let three runs come home. U The Yankees, who were Idle, lead the Indians by half a game, and also have nothing to worry about with an open date today while the .Indians play the Browns in a night game. “ The Dodgers bui|t up a cushibrV for their weekend series with the Giants by defeating the Reds, 3 to 1, to increase their lead to seven games in the National. The Giants dropped a home run battle to the Pirates, 10 to 9, while in other
