The Tribe was in last place when the trip opened at Louisville on May 29 and it was in Derbytown where the team really got going by trouncing the Colonels three out of four... . It was the first step in the long climb to the first division to a position where first place is not far away. ... And at one stage of the early race Red Killefer’s pastimers were 11 games behind the American Association leaders. . . . The boys found their batting eyes out on the road and consistent biffing of the horsehide boosted the club hitting average above .300.

Four Western rivals will invade and then Louisville and Columbus. . . . Since the Tribe departed, Buck Fausett, regular third sacker, has been shifted to shortstop and Bob Kahle, the Richmond youth, stationed at the hot corner... . Kahle was a high school star and is just beginning to blossom as a Class AA performer. . . . This is his fourth season on the Indians’ reserve list and he gained valuable experience in the little minors as a Tribe farm hand. . . . Young Bob batted .336 with Greenville in the Cotton States League last year.

Nats Triumph, 2-1, as Wes Holds Tigers; Red Sox Beat Chicago.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 17.—Sometimes a change in uniforms works wonders with a ballplayer. That seems to be the case with Wesley Ferrell and Buck Newsom. They were discontented and a couple of large headaches to their respective managers. On June .10 Washington shipped Newsom and Ben Chapman to the Boston Red Sox in return for the Ferrell brothers, Wes and Rick, and Mel Almada. The shift in scenery transformed Newsom and Ferrell into pitching fools. They both won their second games within a week for their new teams yesterday. the Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Wes Ferrell hurled Washington to a 2-1 victory over Detroit in 12 innings. Prior to their shift, record was three games won and four lost and Ferrell's three games won and six lost Newsom had been able to pitch only two complete games and had been knocked out in four of his last five starts with the Senators. Ferrell hadn't been able to win a game since May 26 and had been pounded out in three of his last four starts with the Red Sox. Three Days’ Rest

In his first start for the Red Sox, Newsom beat the Tigers, 5-4, allowing only six hits. Ferrell set the White Sox down with four hits in his first game with the Senators. Then with three days rest, they both came back to win again and keep their records at 1.000 per cent for their new teams. Ferrell limited Detroit to eight hits yesterday. His brother, Rick, scored the winning run in the 12th after he hed singléd, advanced to third on two infield hits, and came in.on a wild pitch by Jake Wade. Newsom permitted only five hits in notching his second win. His wildness (walking 10 men) had him in hot water several times. After walking the first three men to face him he didn’t allow a hit until the sixth. Gene DeSautels’ double with the bases loaded provided the Red

Sox’ big punch.

Gomez Whiffs 5 in Row

The New York Yankees increased their American League lead to two games by turning back Cleveland, 4-1, behind Lefty - Gomez's six-hit pitching. Gomez fanned the first five men to face him, and struck out nine altogether. George Selkirk’s double with the bases loaded accounted for three Yankee runs. Home runs by Harland Clift and Tom Carey tied the score and Beau Bell's single after two St. Louis batters walked enabled the Browns to beat the Athletics, 3-2. It was the A’s fourth straight loss. - An eighth-inning rally which scored three runs enabled the New York Giants to come from behind to trim Pittsburgh, 5-4, and moved within .005 percentage points of the league-leading Cubs who were rained out. The Pirates made 15 hits off Smith and Schumacher, but had 10 men left on base. The Giants nicked Blanton, Swift and Brown for only eight hits, but they were timely. Mel Ott’s single drove in the two tying runs and Gus Mancuso’s single drove in the winning tally.
