Indians Tighten Grip as A's Rally Threatens Lead
Cleveland holds a slim margin atop the league as Philadelphia and New York push. Tommy Byrne, a Yankee lefty, hurled two scoreless innings in a 7–0 bid after a late return, while Joe Dobson and Boo Ferriss kept Red Sox and Browns low. In the NL, Braves and Cardinals pulled away with Sain and a six to four win for St. Louis, and Chicago split with Philadelphia as Meyer shined in one win and lost the nightcap.
