Holloway on the Rampage

Holloway went on a rampage. He knocked the pill out of the park twice, made the Tribe infield dizzy by stealing four bases and scored as many runs' himself as the entire Indian line-up drove across the platter all afternoon.

At Washington. the third-place Boston Red Sox were upset by the Senators, 3 to 1. While the rookie hurler, "Bill Zuber, was keeping Boston's niñe bingles far apart. his mates gave bim all the lead he needed in the first two stanzas.

Singles by Jimmy Bloodworth and George Archie in the second inning a accounted mostly for the pair of Washington runs which put the game on ice.

Another under-dog had a good day when the cellar-resting St. Louis Browns trimmed the Detroit Tigers. 3 to 1, before the latter's home crowd. The 1940 American League champions held a one-run lead up to the ninth inning, but the Browns managed to knot the count in the final frame and went ahead to clinch the argument with a two-run assaut in the first extra inning.

While showers kept the Cards and the world-champion Reds in their homes in St. Louis, the Dodgers missed a chance to regain the National League leadership when they lost a tough one to the Braves, 3 to 2. Leading 2 to 1 up to the fifth inning, the daffy ones saw the game slip through their fingers when Max "West doubled and Carvell Rewell homered for the pair of runs which gave the Beantowners the argument.
