The only reason the situation isn't | larming is because no club can | | ake advantage of golden opportuaity. The White Sox, who've been | hanging at the Yanks’ heels, went | into a nose-dive at the crucial mo- | ment, dropping two in a row to Washington. Detroit is doing the | best it can with a shaky pitching | staff. The Yanks have lost five out of their last seven games. What's worse they looked terrible even when | they won. Their pitching has gone sour, with their two aces, Ruffing and Gomez, being belted hard in their last two starts, losing three | out of four. Their fielding has been | bush-leaguish. Only Joe Di Maggio, | Lou Gehrig and Tommy Henrich | have been hitting, and Henrich now | is laid up with water on the knee. |

Tribe Batting Eyes Weak in Series Opener

Vance Holds Redskins to Six Blows; Page on Losing End.

(Box Score, Page 17)

Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo. July 29.— ‘Five games back of the leagueleading Minneapolis Millers, the Indians hoped to regain their batting eyes in the second of the series with the Kansas City Blues here tonight

and do something about defending their position in fourth place. The Tribesters lost ground in the initial road tilt at Muehlebach Field last night when Joe Vance outpitched Vance Page and won, 2 to 1. Joe held the Redskins to six blows and the Blues collected nine off Page. In the ninth Mickey Haslin, recently of the New York Giants, delivered the hit that batted in the winning marker for the Blues. Oglesby launched the final stanza | with a single and was forced by | English. Stumpf flied out, Breese | beat out an infield hit and Haslin found a safe spot to tally English with the victory run.

Umpires Fail to Show

Marty Hopkins of the Blues and Bob Logan of the Indians served as umpires. The regular officials were delayed in reaching Kansas City on account of the All-Star game at Columbus Tuesday night. The play on Breese at first base in the ninth was close and the runner appeared out from the stands. He was ruled safe by Logan. The Blues tallied the first run of the contest in the second frame on doubles by English and Stumpf. In the seventh the Hoosiers tied it up on safeties by Berger and Fausett and an error hy Matheson, the former Louisville infielder. In the eighth Sherlock of the Tribe tripled and tried for a steal of home, but Danny Taylor swung at the pitch and fanned for the third out as Vincent hit the dirt. Berger got two of the Tribe's six safeties and Marchand, Stumpf and Haslin each weighed in with two for the Blues. Riddle and Eckhardt, two of the Tribe's best stickers, were unable to solve Vance's assortment and drew blanks at the plate. It was a well-played contest and required only 1 hour and 32 minutes. The game started 15 minutes late on account of the absence of the umpires. The remainder of the series will be played off in a single battle tonight two games tomorrow night and a single fracas Saturday.
