Frank Hayes, the iron-man catcher obtained from the Phil adelphia Athletics last week in the season's most surprising swap, and Lambert Meyer, ob tained early in the season from Detroit, played prominent parts in helping Pitcher Klieman win the game. Hayes opened the second in ning with a single, moved to third on a hit and a fielder's choice, and scored on Meyer's single through the box. Again in the ninth Hayes and Meyer collaborated to score, this time with some help from a third tradee" Don Ross, formerly of the Tigers. Hayes walked and Seerey, Ross, Rocco and Meyer singled in succession. These blows chased Bunham with his fourth straight defeat. The second-place Detroit Ti gers failed to take advantage of this Yankee slip, since they could do littla more with Hausmann of the Boston Red Sox than New York could with Klieman. Haus mann hurled six-hit ball in a 3 to 1 victory. The St. Louis Browns shut out Philadelphia for the second time in two days. Kramer was the winner by a 9 to 0 score, giving only four hits.v Rick Ferrell drove in four runs as Washington beat the Chicago White Sox, 8 to 1.
