The Cleveland Indians gained a half a game yesterday in their desperate but tardy pursuit of the league-leading New York Yankees by trimming the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 3. The win boosted the Tribe to within one game of the idle Yanks.

Meanwhile a Giant defeat today would give the National League flag to the Dodgers. The Giants face the Braves in a doubleheader at the Polo Grounds.
