NEWCOMER PITCHES TANKS
 TO VICTORY OVER RED SOX
Leaders Gain No Ground in Pennan Race as Athletics Bowl Over Senators-Simmons Laces Out Homer in Sixth Inning With Bases Loaded - Cardinals Forced to Bowto Revivifed Pittsburgh Pirates - Only One Game is Played in National League
By the Associated Press.

Back in the big leagues after a years penance in the minors, Fred dy Heimach. big left-hander from Camden. N. J.. has come to the res- cue of the perishing Yankees.
 Purchased from St. Paul of the American association to bolster Miller Huggins' tottering pitching stad. Hetmach. who once wore the hveries of the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox. pitched the champions to four-hit, 10 l vic tory over the Red Sox yesterday in his first start on the come back trail
 The Red sox's only run was scored in the first inning on two paAses-the only ones Heimach is- sued-F1agstead's single and Re- 1an's sacrifice fly. Heimach famed eight men and never had an un- easy moment once the Tanks be- gan clubbing Ed Morris and Burney Griffith freely and to the point.
 Heimach came up to the big leagues with the Athletics in 1920, but did not become a regular until two yea3 later. The only winning season he had in the big show was in 1924 when he scored 14 victor tes against l2 defeats with a fifth place club. In 1926 he again start cd the season with the As, but had tfaveled to Boston before the sea- son was over. The following year found him at St. Paul. He turne. in . brilliant record in the association this campaign and thus caught the eye of Huggins when the mite man. ager recently decided that pitchers were what he needed and needed badly.
 Despite this victory the Tanks gained no ground on the high flying Athletics who bowled over the Washington Senators. 8 to 3, behind Howard Ehmke's three-hit pitching. Al simmons 12th home of the year came in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. This broke the Sena- tors heart and the As romped on to an easy victory that enabled them to remain no farther than four and . half games back of the leaders.
 Only one game was played in the National league, but that one saw the St. Louis Cardinasl lose a little more of their advantage over the New York Giants. The Cardinals found the revivified Pittsburgh Pi- rates bit too much for them and bowed to the 1927 campions. 5 to 4. The Giants. although idle. moved up to within four games of Mckech- nie's league leaders.
 Jess Haines was pounded out of the box in the fourth inning after the Pirates had cracked him for four runs and had men on the bases "ath none out. Art Reinhart went to the rescue of cause that already WAS lost and pitched fine ball to the end. although he could not prevent the Corsairs from driving in their nftn run in the fourth inning. Frankie Frisch hit homer in the seventh with one on but it served only to make the score more pre- eentable. Marmen Hill pitched a strong game but was yanked from the box in the ninth with two out when Douthit doubled and Grimes induced Hahn to roll out, retiring the side.
 It was the Corsairs' eighth straight victory and their o4th in their last 31 games. The Pirates now rest only game back of the fourth place Cincinnati Reds and only a game and half back of the Chi cago Cubs who hold third rung in the ladder.
