The first general intcrsectional
conflict in the major leagues finds
the east Boosting of five victories
against single defeat.
Four games in the American
League found the Atlantic seaboard
triumphant in every instance. The
west got what consolation it could
out Of an even split in two east
west contests in the National
League.
Babe Ruth's big bat and Herb
Pennock's effective pitching en-
abled the New York Yankees to
crush the Chicago White Sox at
New York. 10 to 4. The Sultan of
Swat went to bat four times, pound
ed out his sixth homer Of the sea-
son, double and two singles. and
scored two runs. II remained for
aging Joe Dugan. however, to de-
liver the most telling blow Of the
game. Jumping Joe" came to bat
in the first inning with the bases
full and promptly cleaned them
with a four-base drive into the
bleachers. Pennock allowed 13 hits
in chalking up his fifth straight
win but 13 Sox left languishing on
the bases spoke eloquently Of the
lefthander's effectiveness in the
pinches.
Ruth Even With 1927 Record
Ruth's clout, driven into the right
centerfield bleachers in the sixth
inning, put the Bambino even with
his record pace Of last
year. In 1927 he drove out his fifth
and sixth homers in his sixteenth
game OH May l. His first half-doz-
en- this campaign have been accumu-
lated in exactly the same number
of contests although he is a few
days back Of his calendar schedule.
At Philadelphia, Connie Mack's
! Athletics resumed their interrupted
: winning streak by pounding out a
: 40 to S verdict over Detroit. Six
runs in the third inning decided the
issue. In this frame, Sammy Hale
| init "A homer with two on and
Unser Joe" Hauser followed with
his fifth round-trip clout Of the
year, with one on. Fox got in on
the fun with another drive into the
bleachers with one on in the fifth.
At Washington the Senator'S
, hammered five st. Louis Browns
pitchers for Is hits and carried off
a Ii to 6 decision. A five-run rally
in the fifth gave the Senators a
safe lead.
Red Sox Beat Indians
Danny MacFayden outpitched
Willis Hudlin at Boston and the
Red Sox nosed out the Cleveland
Indians, ) to 2, in the only game Of
the day in which the winning team
failed to score 10 or more runs.
Each club got seven hits but the
Red Sox punched their quota in the
fourth and fifth frames for their
three runs. The Indians scored two
in the first and called it day.
The New York Giants added an
other win for the east in National
League encounter at Cincinnati
where they bowled over the Reds.
IL to Z. Seven pitchers saw duty
and 81 safe hits were made. The
Giants got IS off four Red mounds
men. Lefty Faulkner stopped the
Ohioans dead after Barnes and
Chaplin had been severely pum-
1ncleu. ria Hurdy, sensational
Cincinnati outfielder, suffered a
sprained ankle when he slid into a
base in the third.
Pirates Get q Hits
At Forbes field, the Pittsburgh
Pirates recorded the vests sole
triumph with the Boston Braves as
the victims, l3 to 3. The Pirates
unbiased ferocious batting attack
against three Braves pitchers. Kent
Greenfield, nemesis of the Corsairs
last season, was knocked out Of the
box in the first inning. Before it
was over DOME Bush's rampaging
crew had collected 81 safe hits. Paul
IWaner and Pie Traynor accounted
Tor four each, big poison's" string
including two doubles and a triple.
