Cathedral scored again in the second period on a pass from Schmutte to Andy Chatman, a x half, -to-make-the score 14 to 0 for Cathedral. The touchdown drive was again sparked by the plunges of fullback England. Washington's lone tally came in the third quarter as a rejuvenated team took a Cathedral punt early in the period and started to drive. Leppert ran for three first downs on quick opening spinners and reverses to take the ball to the 10-yard marker. He then passed from a fake reverse to Jack Smith, left end, for the score. The placement was wide to make the score 14 to 6 for Cathedral. England and Chatman combined again in the fourth period ds the Irish drove from the 26 to the 3-yard marker on four first downs.

Sox and Yankees drew the fanfare and the furor. Cleveland, who ylelded first place to the Red Sox Aug. 26 after

leading the league for most ofthe yesterday by beating the Detroit: Tigers, 10 to 1, behind. Gene Bearden’s six-hit pitching. Climbing to within three-and-a-half games of the pace-setting Red Sox, Cleveland clubbed three Tiger hurlers for 14 hits, including three hits by Manager-Short-stop Boudreau and three by Third Baseman Ken Keltner. DiMaggio Hits Homer Joe DiMaggio’s home run with the bases loaded in the 10th inning gave the Yankees a hardearned 11-to-6 decision over the Red Sox. The defeat snapped Boston's nine-game winning streak and cut the Red Sox lead to 21% games over the secondplace New Yorkers. DiMaggio’s game-winning wallop was struck off veteran Earl Caldwell, fourth Bdston pitcher. The Yankees added another run in the 10th before they were retired by Tex Hughson. New York took an early lead when Tommy Henrich belted his 22d home run in the first inning with one on off Jack Kramer, After Boston tied the score, the Yanks drove Kramer to the showefs in the sixth when they took a 6-2 lead. The Red Sox chased starter Vic Raschi from the mound with three runs in the last of the sixth. Frank Shea, who relieved Raschi, held Boston to one run the remainder of the way and registered his ninth win.
