MATCHES ·
New York, July 4. The New York Yankees made one of their occasional slips in the American Baseball League to-day when they were only able to share a double header with the Boston Red Sox, who won the first match by a single run.
Detroit Tigers are still holding on to their position and are not far behind the leaders. To-day they beat Cleveland Indians in a double header.
The New York Giants, leaders of the National League, are receiving little opposition from the other clubs and a double victory against the Boston Braves has further consolidated their position.

Worcestershiro sprung the biggest surprise of the defeat Derbyshire, who had all cason by being the first county to the worst of a bowler's pitcll.
Henry Cotton played brilliant golf at Leeds yesterday in beating A. Compston by 3 and 2 in the second round of the Yorkshire Evening News tournament. The match overshadowed all others, for he found no opponent robbed yesterday when of his ability by timidity. Far from it, for Compston, one feels, would be a grund man as company in a scrap, one in whom Open champions are opponents to be beaten and nothing more.
Compston act out to match shot for shot, the shadow of a lasting illness left behind. He was benten for the most part by putting near- ing the phenomenal, fer however unattractive Cotton's putting may appear, he is transforming him- Belf into n. machine on the greens. From the seventh to the twelfth he required only 17 shots, and dur ing that stretch he went from one down to three up, and holed for two at the seventh from 16ft. In reply to one a little longer. A putt of six yards went down at the ainth for a winning two; at the twelfth he holed over the length of a cricket pitch for two.
