Minneapolis Takes Over Leadin A.A.

Millers Annex Pair From Milwaukee While Blues Split.

By United Press Minneapolis assumed the leadership of the American Association today and on the basis of its recent showing appeared prepared to make a strong bid for a long stay

in first place. While Kansas City was dividing a doubleheader with St. Paul, Minneapolis was defeating Milwaukee twice, 7-5 and 6-5. A four-run wally in the eighth inning won the first game for the Millers. Pitcher Elon Hogsett contributed to his own cause in the second game by slashing out a triple during Minneapolis’ four-run assault in the fourth. Minneapolis now has & half-game lead over Kansas City. The Blues won their first game from St. Paul, 2-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Johnny Babich, but a 10-hit attack in the second game was t00 much for the Blues. They were held to two hits by Merritt (Sugar) Cain, who in winning a 7-1 victory turned in one of the finest pitching performances in the Association this season.

Ruling of N. B. A. Defied by Lewis

PITTSBURGH, June 28 (U.P) .— John Henry Lewis today defied the National Boxing Association, which has declared his light heavyweight title vacant, and announced he intended to continue fighting “until such & time as I lose my title in the ring.” The N. B. A. several days ago ruled that Lewis was no longer champion. The ruling was made after three physicians decided that the Negro fighter was partially blind in one eye. Lewis’ announcement was a reversal of an earlier decision to abide by the ruling of the N. B. A. and retire.
