Who Won

P: The Detroit Tigers, leaders in the American League: three baseball games out of five against the New York Yankees, in a series which may decide the race for the pennant; in Manhattan.

P: Thomas Montgomery Howell, Chicago corn speculator: a world's record for tuna fish; by catching a 956-pounder, off Liverpool, N. S. Last fortnight, Mr. Howell caught a 792-lb. tuna after a 62-hr. fight. Not because he is 5 ft. 4 in. and weighs 130 lb., but because he discovered that in England last year L. Mitchell Henry landed an 850-lb. tuna, the feat made him feel "rather small." Last week, the first fish Mr. Howell caught weighed 830 lb. Disappointed, he set out again, felt a strike almost immediately, landed his record tuna on a light linen line and hickory rod after 3 hr. 38 min.

P: Morton L. Schwartz's racehorse Observant : the 65th running of the Travers Stakes, oldest horse race in the U. S.; by four lengths, with Collateral second; at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. C. Earl Leonard Mefford's trotter Lord Jim: the Hambletonian Stake, richest ($26,000) trotting race in the U. S.; by winning two heats out of four, with Muscletone second, and Princess Peg third, with one heat each; at Goshen, N. Y.
