New York, Sept. 18 (U.R)
The roar of the Detroit Tigers
was heard far and wide today
as the hectic American league
pennant race settled down to
tooth and toenail fight over
the last two weeks.

and generally accredited as the
"team to beat," the Tigers com
plcted their traveling for the
season yesterday with a surprise
twin victory over the Celveland
Indians and returned home to
await the arrival of the New
York Yankees, who open a three
game stand there tomorrow.
. The doubleheader victory
came as a surprise because it
was authored by the Tigers'
third and fourth string pitchers
and allowed the victory twins,
Hal Newhouscr with 25 tri
umnhs. and Dizzy Trout, with
24, to rest up for the important
Yankee series. Frank (Stubby)
Overmire pitched a six hit, 7-2
win for Detroit in the first game
and Rufus Gentry put the Ben
gals out in front, a half game
ahead of the St. Louis Browns,

cap. Overmire received ample
and encouraging batting support
from the Thiers late season hit
tine ace. first baseman, Rudy
" York, who collected a triple,
' double and two singles In five
annearances.
Gentry's effort was nothing
. short of remarkable. He display
ed Dlentv of stuff and had a no-
hitter working until the ninth
inning when he issued a single
'. and double as he shut-out the
; Tribe, 3-0.
The Browns, who had opened
, the day's play In first place,
maintained their position
. through the first game, beating
.the Chicago White Sox 5-1, but
. took an 8-2 beating In the finale
' to fall back Into second.
The New York Yankees, In
. first place on Saturday, dropped
' Into third when the giant k. 111
i lng Philadelphia Athletics de
feated them twice, 5-4 and 2-1.
r The Boston Red Sox dropped
, to four full games off the pace
when the Washington Senators
. came up with a six run second
inning and went on to, win 7-6
. in a slnglo game.
The slumping National league
leading St. Louis Cardinals
lumped further when they
dropped two games, both 2-1,
r to the Chicago Cubs for a rec
ord of 13 losses In their 20 games
this month.
! Philadelphia copped Us fourth
and fifth straight over the New
. York Giants, 1-0 nnd 5 4. while
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati split
the Piratds taking the opener.
7-1, and Cincinnati edging out a
3-1 decision In the 10-lnning
finale.
Brooklyn and Boston also di

first game 3-0, and Brooklyn the
second, 3 2.

Fhiladcluhla Eagles today ap
peared a serious contender for
the National Professional Foot
- ball league title this season an
the basis of their showings In
