Roger's 1930 APBA Replay

Week 10 is completed and the replay charges ahead. Every team has moved past the 50 game mark, and several have touched 60 already, so the half-way point draws near. Washington had seen their lead dwindle down to 1.5 games at the end of last week, but thanks to the Indians winning three in a row from the second place A's have seen their lead expand back up to 4.5 games.

St. Louis (AL) (H) 6 Washington 1 Shortstop Red Kress hit a two-run homerun in the fourth to give Lefty Stewart (9-3) and quick lead, and then the Browns added three more in the fifth, and Stewart did the rest. After having a batting average in the .130's a month ago Brown's first baseman Lu Blue is now up to a robust (?) .191. Note: Second baseman Buddy Mye...
