Detroit Takes Firmer Hold on American Loop Top Rung as Heavy Hitting Keeps Up Gehringer Going .690 Clip; Giants Slug Out H-5 Win Over Braves as Ott Hits Two Homers; Cubs Demote Cardinals to Fourth Place. By United Press NEW YORK, June B.—Four fellows who swing bats for Detroit are in a fair way to club the outfit into the most dangerous contender for the American League pennant. They are Messrs. Gordon Cochrane, the manager; Goose Goslin, who tried to bust into the Babe Ruth racket for Washington some years back; Hank Greenberg and the ferocious Charles Gehringer. In less than a week this quartet has boosted Detroit to the top of the loop. •

Today they are most cemented in that post, due to rain in Boston and mighty slugging in Detroit, where the Tigers again marked up Cleveland, 11 to 4, while the Yanks fretted in idleness. Browns Perk Up Gehringer, leading second baseman of the junior circuit, has hit over .690 in Detroit’s recent surge to the top. With Cleveland sinking, the Browns perked up yesterday, scoring three in the ninth to appear out of the ruck and win, 5 to 3, over the White Sox. They are within a game of third place. Pepper tripled to do the business, scoring two. The Senators, with Earl Whitehill performing, climbed on the Athletics in the sixth for five runs, which won, 7 to 3. Whitehill cur-

tailed the Philadelphians with seven hits and breezed through. The leading Giants again opened a barrage on the visiting Braves, slugging their W’ay to a 14-to-5 decision after the Bostonians had been teased along with a four-run lead going into the seventh. The home club became ill-natured, rolled over six runs in that chukker and seven in the next. Mel Ott hit his eleventh and twelfth homers. Pirates Keep Pace The Cubs further dem’oted the formerly leading Cardinals, jolting the Red Birds into fourth place in a shut-out performance by a fellow named Weaver, who was once kicked out of St. Louis. Yesterday he limited the Cards to seven hits and no runs, W'inning 1 to 0. The Herman boys, Babe and Willie, engineered the Chicago run, Willie singling, edging to third and coming in on Babe’s blazer. Pittsburgh continued its unobtrusive march forward, staying with the leaders on a 2-to-l win over the Reds. Red Lucas divided four hits among the Red legs, all singles. Brooklyn, after three hysterical starts, managed to organize a victory over the Phillies, and it turned out a wow. Emil Leonard, 24-year-old Dodger, hid behind a single home run w’hich Lon Koenecke oummeled out of the park in the first, and mowed down the Phils in masterly fashion, winning 1 to 0. George Darrow', rookie southpaw, held the Dodgers to four hits, but one was enough.

The score was 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. Nourney is Germany’s second ranking player. This match marked the first time that France had taken the court in a challenging role for seven years.

Following the Princeton meet, Sears and Perry Zahn, Ft. Wayne, Butler half-miler, are expected to accompany Ivan Fuqua and Charles Hornbostel of Indiana university to California by airplane.

U. runners will return to Milwaukee for the annual A. A. U. games. Two other Butler trackmen, Robert Welch, high-jumper, and Billy Davis, pole vaulter, both of Indianapolis will end their season tonight unless they turn in exceptionally good marks. Sears has had little outdoor competition this season, although participating in meets every week but one. He made 9:27 in winning the state title a few weeks ago. Blistered feet have bothered his preparation for the four big meets.
