YANK VICTORY
Second Tilt He's Won
In 2 Days; AS De-
feat Browns Twice;
Red Sox Take One
BY HERBERT W. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


Babe Ruth is nothing if not oblig-
ing. He has slugged three homers in
the past two days and they have won
two ball games for the New York
Yankees.
On Wednesday Wiley Moore needed
three runs in the last inning if he
was to save himself from defeat at
the hands of the up and coming Chi
cage White Sox. The Yanks got two
men on base and they scored ahead Of
Babe when he slammed homer No. SO
high and dry in the right field stands.
Against the same White Sox Thurs
day Herb Pennock was unsteady most
of the way but the Babe pulled him
through 10 a six to four victory by
propelling his thirty-seventh and
thirty-eighth circuit clouts into the
stands. each time with Earle Combs
on base.
These two Ruthian drives put the
"Big BAN" twenty-seven games,
twenty-nine days and eight home runs
ahead Of his 1927 schedule when he
slammed go for a new record.
Alphonse Thomas pitched well for
the Sox but the Yanks are a jinx TO
him. He's been beaten by the cham
plNHS ELEVEN Aiilte III tic last 49,
seasons. BY the way eleven times is
exactly the number of times he's
faced them.
Tht Athletics shaved half a game
off the champions lead by turning
back the st. Louis Browns in both
ends Of a double bill, 2 TO 0 and 4 10
3, the latter in IL innings. Both
games were pitchers battles.
Owen Carroll pitched the Detroit
Tigers 10 a Q to 3 triumph over the
Washington Senators in the first
game of a double header but Milt
CASTOR reversed matters in the sec
ond, the Senators walking off with
an easy Z to 2 win.
Ed Morris registered his 18th
pitching victory Of the year as the
Boston. Red Sox evened the series
with Cleveland. 8 TO 2 in II innings.
Roll:ngs' double, a sacrifice fly by
Ken Williams and Taitt's single &C
counted for the winning marker.
In me National league the st. Louis
pace-setting Cardinals added more
woe 10 the unlucky Phillies. The
Cards Just barely nosed out a 8 TO .
verdict that marked the pills elev-
enth straight defeat. Hafey and
Harper of the Cards, and Hurst of
the Phils. each hit their twelfth home
run of the season.
Meantime the Brooklyn Dodgers

champions, the Pittsburgh Pirates. 3

edge on the young Pirate %southpay,
Fred Russell, the Dodger hurler &C

Boston finally managed 70 end a

out a 9 10 4 verdict over the Gin

four pitchers TO stem in the tide but
il wa sto no avail. Thirteen hits and
one Red error gave the Braves the
game with plenty 90 spare.

WITNESSES GRILLED
Money Trail of Teapot
Dome Reveals Another
Surprise.
BY United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 The
came suddenly today upon the trail
of 100000 or more of the strange
Continental Trading Company prof
its of oil men in 1921.
Karl Schuyler, attorney for Fl. NJ.
Blackmer, Denver oil man, first re-
vealed that Blackmer had held
$750,000 of the Continental bonds
and that they are now secreted in
safety deposit box No. 1904, of the
Equitable Trust Company, New
York.
Later, John Mooney of Blair and
Company, a New York brokerage
house, revealed that the Hyva COM
pany-personal holding corporation
of Harry F. Sinclair, indicted oil
man-had sold some of the bond
profits in 1924.
The exact amount was not reveal
ed but Mooney said the Continental
bonds were in a lot of $1,000,000
in bonds sold by his concern for the
Hyva company.
Schuyler said Blackmer had felt
the $750,000 he took was payment
for services he rendered in the Con-
tinental transaction. He did not
say to whom these services were
rendered.
Senator Walsh of Montana
brought out that interest coupons of
the bonds had not been cashed and
that Blackmer had not said whom
he represented in the Continental
| deal.
Schuyler's testimny brought the
traced total of Continental profits
to $1,919,60 and left s., ,160, 400 yet
to be traced.
Bonds Identified
Walsh indicated that of the ST..
100000 lot about $250,000 were in-
dicated to be Continental bonds.
He also found $4,000 of the
! bonds were among those later held
by James f. O'Neil, missing oil
man, who shared in the Continental
| deal.
The evidence was procured by
checking the serial numbers of the
Continental bonds with those sold
by the Hyva corporation. Mooney
identified some of the numbers read
him as being those of bonds he sold
for the Sinclair company.
Harold Kenwell, assistant treas
urer of the Hyva corporation, then
was called to produce books of the
company.
Walsh believed he may have
found even more of the bonds when
Kenwell testified that the Hyda did
not collect interest on large num-
Der of Liberty 31a percent bonds.
All the $3,0S0,000 profits of the oil
deal We're converted into 31a per-
cent Liberties.
In June 1925 there was $539,0
in interest yet uncolleeted, Kenwell
said.
