CLEVELAND REGAINS FIRST DIVISION WITH EIGHT IN ROW

Cards Trip Giants to Increase Y L. Edge Grimes’ Eighth Inning Single Wins Game for Him; Athletics, Senators and Yanks Triumph; Brandt Loses First in Nine Mound Starts. BY LEO a PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 3.—Cleveland’s Indians are on the war path again. After blowing the advantage they built up early in the season, the Indians have come back in surprising fashion and now boast a winning streak of eight consecutive games. Although still nine games behind the pace setting Philadelphia Athletics, Cleveland promises to cause plenty of trouble for the American League pennant contenders if the team continues its present stride. When the first intersectional competition of the year broke out in the major leagues three weeks ago, the Indians held the lead in their league. They lost it, however, when they were victims of a tw r elve-game losing streak. Since they have hit their winning stride again, the Indians have climbed back into the first division.

Tracy Cox Stops O’Dowd in Second Round at Fort Arena

Another knockout triumph appeared on the record of Tracy Cox, hard punching local junior lightweight, and it was by far the most impressive of his recent string of quick victories. Midget Mike O’Dowd, the Columbus battler, who held decision wins over the Brightwood walloper, was saved from a terrific beating when Referee George Grammell stopped the fight in second round at the Ft. Harrison punch bowl Tuesday night and awarded Cox a technical knockout. Working coolly and wasting no punches, Cox floored the Midget twice in the first round with solid punches to the head. In the second stanza, O’Dowd was on the floor twice and appeared once to have been counted out. He was out and hanging on the ropes when Grammell halted activities.

TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS-

NEW YORK, June 3.—A strange ball club, that Cleveland gang, which opened its first invasion of the east in Boston Tuesday and comes to Yankee stadium on Saturday. Peck’s boys are either very good or very bad. They go in for feasts or famines, no middle course. From a losing streak of twelve straight they eased into a winning habit which has carried them through eight in a row. In the good old days, Matty was the barometer of the Giants. For years the Yankees went as Babe Ruth, either starred or languished. The Indians measure their success or lack of It by the showing of Wesley Ferrell, their great right-hander. After pitching his no-hit, no-run game against the Browns. Ferrell went bad. He developed a kink in his arm. Down went the Indians with Wesley’s ailing right. On May 23. against the White Sox, Ferrell announced that the whip hadf recovered. He went out and beat Bush’s club by 10 to 5. ending the losing streak and starting the Tribe toward much better things. In the current winning streak, Ferrell has won a game on his own and saved two others. Wes, Harder. Miller and Brown all have turned in complete games in this skein of success. And let us not forget Willie Kamm. He has made a tremendous difference to Cleveland pitchers. Kamm has plugged up a gap on the left side of the inner works, and has toned up the entire infield. However, there Is enough power on the Clevelands to carry a man like Kamm with his .223 average. Incidentally. Fonseca seems to have been overcome by the shift to the White Sox In the trade for Kamm. He went to Bush smacking around .365 and since Joining the Sox has batted at a .235 gait. a a a THE Indians leave something to be desired, but they are the lone hope of the western half of the American League. The Tigers, of whom so much was expected back in April, already have collapsed. They open their eastern trip in Washington Tuesday with Dale Alexander and Charley Gehringer both on the shelf. Bucky Harris' men have dropped fourteen tt their last sixteen contests and are imbedded In alxth place, fourteen games behind the Athletics. The Tigers lost eight !n a row. and then Bridges beat the Browne w hile Uhle stopped the White Box. Just when Harris felt that his men were on the rebound, they dropped into another losing streak, which has run five In a row. Ohle’s defeat hy the m-

Cleveland made it eight in a row Tuesday by nosing out the Boston Red Sox, 12 to 11. The Indians shelled three Boston pitchers for eight runs in the sixth inning, but almost lost out in the ninth when Boston scored five runs and had what would have been the tying tally tagged out at the plate for the third out. The Philadelphia Athletics rej tained their five game lead over i Washington with a 3-to-2 victory over Chicago. Bing Miller’s home run with Foxx on base in the sixth inning proved the downfall of Pat Caraway. Rube Walberg allowed only four hits in registering his eighth victory. Washington krpt pace with the league leaders by turning back the Detroit Tigers, 5 to 8. The Senators collected twelve hits off their old nemesis, Earl Whitehall, while Carl Fischer, a rookie, was holding Detroit at bay. New York also kept in the running with a 9-to-3 verdict over the St. Louis Browns. The Yankees clinched the contest in the sixth inning when they got to Gray for five hits and four runs. Leftv Gomez held the Browns to nine scattered blows. St. Louis Cardinals increased their National League leadership to two and onehalf games by defeating the seoond-piace New York Giants, 4 to 3. Burleigh Grimes won his own game when he singled in the eighth inning to score Hafey. Fred Fitzsimmons was the losing moundsman. Brooklyn continued its winning st.eak and advanced into a tie with Boston for fourth place by turning back the Chicago Cubs. 7 to 6. Wally Gilbert’s triple with two men on base drove in the tying runs in the ninth inning and the Robin third sacker scored the winning counter a moment later on Herman's long fly. Ed Brandt, star Boston southpaw, suffered his first defeat of the season after eight consecutive victories, when Pittsburgh won. 4 to 3. Three singles in the ninth inning enabled the Pirates to come from behind. Philadelphia defeated Cincinnati 6 to 2 In, the other major league contest. Jim Elliott held the Reds In check until the ninth Inning when he developed a streak of wildness and forced two runs in by issuing bases on balls. Chuck Klein hit two home runs, his twelfth and thirteenth of the season, and a double and was the feature of Philadelphia’s eleven-hit attack on Red Lucas.

Cox appears in the best shape of his career and demonstrated a real punch with either hand. Tho feature scrap on the Fort opener was moved ahead of two six rounders, due to rain. In these scraps. Young Eiler of Louisville seemed to have an edge on Rosy Kid Baker. Anderson middleweight, although the Judges awarded the nod to Baker, and Norman Brown, local middleweight .outpointed DeWitt Young of Carrollton. Kv. In another fix. Ray Drake, substituting for Tony Petruzzi. floored Johnny Gill in the first round and then southpawed his wav to an easy win over the Danville welter. Pat Murphy. Danville welter, had the best* of Howard Jones. Louisville, in a six-stenza slugfest. and Tony Lapel lost to Buster Carmen in the four-round opener. AT NEW YORK—MeI Aragon. 138>4. Peru, drew with Herman Perllck. 140%. Kalamazoo. Mich. (8); Jackie Philips. 145. Canada, outpointed Angelo Tejerio. 145. Spain (6).

dians filling the cup of Harris’ woe to overflowing on Sunday. Detroit experts say that for the first time in yeai;s the Tigers really are getting good pitching, but the attack is weak and the fielding of the crazy-quilt lineup looks like a burlesque when compared with the club’s all-round defense of a month ago. Harris has had his hands full. Losing men like Gehringer and Alexander would cripple any team in the game. Bill Hminefield, released by the Indians, has landed with the Braves and seems to be doing pretty well at third base, where Peck forgot to try him. Hunnefield soon will have anew rival { or . the „^ ob ' Ths Eraves are getting Johnny Scalzi. the Georgetown football, basketball and baseball star. The Stanford tConn.) lad has been playing second for Georgetown, but is slated to become a third sacker with the Bostons. ERRORS AID INDIANA By Time a Special EAST LANSING, Mich., June 3. Michigan State’s infield turned in eight errors to enable Indiana university to win a 6 to 3 decision here Tuesday behind the eight-hit pitching of Red Wright. Following Tuesday’s tilt, the Hoosiers moved to Ann Arbor today where they tackled University of Michigan in their final game. The tilt was to be featured by the final collegiate mound appearance of Lefty Veller, I, U. southpaw, ranked as one of the best hurlers in the Big Ten.

Toledo’s Walker Puts Big Smack on Tribe ‘Come On, My Beau’.y,’ Casey Shouts, and Fred Blasts Homer Over Fence in Tenth; Connally Shades Burwell in Mound Battle. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Manager Casey Stengel of the Toledo Hens, operating on the third base coaching line against the Indians in the series second tilt at the ball yard Tuesday night, kept calling Fred Walker, Hen center fielder his $150,000 beauty and evidently Walker finally took his manager's word for it and produced in a big way. He was first up in the tenth and broke up a neat mound battle between Bill Burwell and George Connally by taking hold of a Burwell offering and the last the crowd saw of the pellet it was soaring high over the right field fence.

Walker's home run landed out in the darkness of the railroad yards and proved the blow that cost the Tribesmen another struggle, Toledo winning, 3to 2. Both veteran hurlers were at top form and hits were scarce, the visitors getting seven and the Tribe six. Connally was the stronger in the late stanzas, however, and gave up only one safety after the fifth. He struck out eight during the ten rounds of action. The Indians have played three night games this season, one with Louisville and two with Toledo, and have met defeat each time, thereby proving there is no advantage for the home club under the lights. They batted like fiends out on the road, but the club average took a violent nose dive since the return to Washington park. Stengels Hens are here for two more games, tonight and Thursday afternoon, which gives the Hoosiers a chance to even the series. The Tribe pitching has improved and the defense got together Tuesday and turned in a fine game. Fred Bedore was especially active at second base and teamed with Montague in splendid fashion. The new inftelder is fast and is a real hustler. He got one of the team’s six hits Tuesday. Koenecke’s double and Walker’s single accounted for the Indians’ run in the first session Tuesday and in the fifth singles by Bedore and Riddle and Burwell’s out scored the other Tribe tally. The two Toledo markers preceding F. Walker’s

! National Collegiate Athletic Association championship at Stagg field Friday and Saturday. “‘lt’s the climate,’ is the usual answer to why our athletes excel those of other sections,” said Cromwell, “but that is not the most important reason. “In my opinion it's because the boys set out to be champions, train like champions and conduct themselves like champions on and off the field of competition. None of my boys knows what the taste of alcohol is and few of them have ever tasted tobacco. They never stop training.” With Stanford out of the national collegiate meet, Southern California is virtually certain to run away with the title. OHIO GRIDDER ON MAT Dug Marcell of Canada and Roy Duncan of Dayton, 0., have been matched for the semi-windup on Friday night’s mat card at Riverside.
