The Athletics pulled into first place, half a same ahead of the idle Vunkoes, by defeating' the Tigers at Detroit, 1 to 8, in a game which left eight pitchers draped upon the ropes, while the ltruvca shoved the Cubs Into u deadlock with the Ht. Louis Cards in the National league by shading the McCarthymcn In twelve inn ings, 0 to 6. The Cardinals, moving Into a tic for tho lead in John Hoydlor's cir cuit without so much ajs u number ing a bat, thus profited from Idle ness at a moment when tho Yan kees found It costly.

DIXON BEATS EASTERNER IN SIXTH ROUND . IOHTLAND, Ore.. May 15 (A I') -GeOrgio Dixon, Portland, made good In his comeback last night by knocking out Willie Keldmaii, New York, In the sixth round of their scheduled -10 -round mulit event. They are middleweights. Dixon fought with the old tigerish fury he displuyed a year ugo and his deadly right was much in evidence. Until the final round, Keldman fought buck, pumping a swift, pun ishing left hand against the negro's nose and - frequently measured his wide-open Jaw with one-two punches direct to the chin. But he' could make no impression in Dixon and only seemed to' spur the latter on. In tho fifth, ufter a good start, Keldman was nearly knocked out by Dixon, but staged a great rally. The punishment he took showed In the sixth und Dixon soon had him helpless, tho referee stopping the battle. League Standings l'arinc Coast Lcaguo Standings Mission I.oa Angeles ......
