YANKEES BEAT RED S0X
 IN ABBREVIATED BATTLE
Dabe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Hit Successive Homers in Third Inning - Athletics Blank Senator's to C. Browns Drop 10 to 6 Decision to Cleveland Indians White Sox Swamp Detroit Tgers-Cards Shade Reds-Pirates Take Game 1t Chicago

 Although rain swept out the-east- ern schedule of the National league yesterday the Yankees managed to beat [ e storm by a hair at the Ruppert stadium to defeat the Red 6ox by , to 0 as the Athletics shut out the Senators in Washington by to 0. The Yankee victory, the third over the Bostonese in two days, was | legal game only because of the early start made in view Of the scheduled double e-header.
 The game was ended by rain after two New York batters had been re- tired in the fifth. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig raked Jack Russell for successive home runs in the third, and Fred Heimach was turning back the Boston invaders with regularity. The Babes blow was his seventh, GehriS's his ninth.
 Although the champions gained nothing on the victorious Mackmen, who swept their Washington series, tho Ruppert lines were established more securely in second place. The Browns finally ran into an afternoon of indifferent pitching. and saw the Cleveland Indians dash of with a 10 to 6 decision. That left the Browns one full game behind the Yanks and two and one-half contests to the rear of the Mackmen.

 The final victory of the Athletics in Washington was made possible by the hne box work of George Wal berg. who gave the Senators only sAven scattered hits. The Macks hammered Burke, Hopkins and Mar berry artistically and imparttally to scere their seven runs.

MAN 0' WAR LINK
 HAS BEEN BROKEN
Clyde Van Dasen's Victory Drs'
 matiC Addition to History

NeW OFk, MAy ~ WI ne Jlnx that seemed to beset the renowned Man O'War and his illustrious line in quest of the most coveted of American turf prizes-the Kentucky Derby-has been broken by the vic- tory of that superlative mud runner, Clyde Van Dusen.
 Man O. Wars sire. Fair Play. fail- cd 10 produce Derby winner. The famous son of Fair Play-Mahubah WAS himself denied the chance to compete in the classic at Churchill Downs in his three year old, 1919. although later that year Man O. War conquered the Derby winner. Sir Barton, in a special match race.
 Bad luck, moreover. seemed to strike the offspring of Man O. War as they came later to the races. A number started in the Derby but none even broke into the money until Clyde Van Dusen, gelding, came splashing home Saturday un- der fine ride by Pony" McAtee to beat 20 rivals and win nearly s54,o00 for his owner, Herbert P. Gardner of Amsterdam, N. Y.
 Sired by Man O. War, named for his trainer. bred in Old Kentucky but owned by an customer, Clyde Van Dusen's victory was a dramatic addition to the long and colorful his- tory of the Derby.
 Only seven geldinss are among the Derby winners but they loom con- spicuously nevertheless. No victor was more popular or more renown- ed than Old Rosebud. the great geld ing that set the Derby record of c:03 e-5 for the mile and a quarter in 1914. Then there was also Willis Sharpe kilmer's Exterminator. famiiiarly known as "Old Bones" and "Old Slim," which won in 1918.
 On the way back to New York. discussing the biz race as calmly as though 1t was just an every day gal lop. Jockey McAtee said:
 After that first turn, I never felt any doubt about winning. tough as the going was. Clydt Van Dusen was cinch to handle and did every- thing l asked of him.
 Eve been lucky enough now to win twice in three years (McAtee was in Whiskery in 19e7) and l would like to equal or beat the rec ord of old Ike Murphy who rode three winners.'
 Murphy, the only thre- -time win- ner and a Negro, piloted Buchanan in 1884. then Riley and kinsman ip successive years, 1890 and 1891.
 The college track and field stars, it seems. must do more work this season to hold their jobs
 Stanford has been using her pole vautl star, Ward Edmonds, in both the low and nigh hurdles. But Princeton. not to be outdono. is us- ing Ben Hedges Olympic high jump place winner, in the broad jump and high hurdles as well. Hedges won in all three specialties against Yale Saturday.
 On the basis of spring slugsing, heres how an all-star major league team might take the field:
 First base-Bill Terry, New York Giants.
 Second base-Frank Frisch, st. Louis Cardinals.
 Third base-Willie kamm, Chica go White Sox.
 shorstop-Ba:ney Friberg, Phil lies.
 Catcher-Heving. Boston Braves,
 outfield-O'Doul Phillies: stc- phenson and Cuyler, Chicago Cubs.
 This gives the National League A wide edge but there would be no particular loss of hitting power by subbins Clancy Of the White Sox or FoHS of the Athletics for Terry, or GchrinSer of Detroit for Frisch

were safe. They moved up a peg when Belair tossed Bergeron out at first. Blanchard then drove a shot to short that was too hot to handle and Bucheri tallied,
 In the fourth, Yankaskas doubled. Buckland singled and Belair erred on a Eroufder to give the Sox their last run.
 The center fielders furnished the thrills. Both men robbed each other of almost sure hits with circus catches. Bergeron nailed a drive with a leap and back handed spear that brought the crowd to its feet.

wasn't until a week later that the
truth was revealed to the two
stunned and furious women.
Kent Johns felt that he was
through. That life held no more for
him. When he had read every line
Of the truth about the girl he had
thought he loved so long, he felt
he must die.
What had he done to deserve the
stunning blows of the past few
months? There wasn't a thing
under the sun that could happen
now. His faith in everything was
wiped out.
He would be the laughing stock Of
the whole world. Everyone in Ben
der knew that he had made up with
Dovie. He had even been reckless
enough to be seen in public with
her. Everyone would know what a
fool he had been!
First, he had thrown all his mon
ey away like so much dirt. Then
he had let q woman make a fool
out Of him-not only once, but two
times. He had believed her. Loved
her-and placed her on a pedestal
above the whole world, when she
had been worS than the dirt under
his feet.
The page had fallen by the chair
and Kent lay with his head back,
ashen and too weak with shock to
move. He did not hear Vivian come
down the stairs. She came down
singing, and stood in the door.
She looked ut him a moment, and
moved slowly toward him.
Kent! Kent!" she cried, ARE you
i'll? What has happened?"
He opened his eyes slowly. He
would rather die than have her
know what a fool he had been. But
she would find it out some time,
Why not now? He reached down
mechanically. And, without a word,
handed the damning page to her.
Vivian sat down weakly and be-
gan to read. When she had finished
most of it was not news to her
anyway, since Bark had told her a
great deal of Dovie'S life in Paris
she sat for a moment, looking pa
thetically at Kent, sitting SO broken
and spent in the big chair.
She wanted to weep for him then.
For his broken dreams and his hu-
initiation and his heartbreak. Again
she felt a thousand years older than
the boy who had built his house Of
dreams on the shallow sands of dis
illusionment.
What could she do? What could
she say that would ease his hurt
or help him just a little? Nothing.
She had never felt so helpless in her
life. But, she was drawn to his
chair with the ache in her own
heart, and sat down on the arm and
put her arm around him.
It was what his mother might
have done. She drew his head to
her, as she had once before when he
had been SO hurt, and stroked his
hair silently. In a moment he looked
up at her and she saw there were
tears in his eyes.
Kent crying! She threw herself in
his arms and wound her own arms

Highway Crashes Need CURLING

regular endemic Of automobile accidents on
Valley highways in the past two weeks cllmaxeo oy
injuries to two persons by hit and run drivers pomVS
to the seriousness of traffic conditions.
A need for more Efficient service driving or pollclns
or both, is shown very clearly.
Additional policing of the highways might serve
to lessen in some degree the number OF accidents
Nv causing the guilty drivers to be brought to &C
count and by preventing reckless handling OF auto
mobiles.
Anv appreciable decrease in the number Of persons
manned and killed, however. must be brought about
by more careful driving. More careful driving can
be secured partially by enactment OF proper laws
and by their enforcement, but it must be largely the
result Of a desire on the part of the drivers to
handle their cars in such a manner as to protect
themselves and other motorists.
This desire can be created in most drivers by edu-
cation in the rules Of traffic. Another safeguard
would be prohibiting young children from driving.
There will be some inclination to charge the number
of highway accidents in the Valley in the last sew
eraI days to the Texas law which permits driving at
a speed of As miles per hour. It is doubtful if this
law has had much to do with it. In the first place,
almost all motorists already were driving at As miles
per hour, except when a traffic officer was known
to be in the vicinity. In the second place, As miles
per hour is not a dangerous speed when an automo-
bile is in the hands of an experienced and careful
driver.
There is a vast difference between fast driving and
reckless driving. The new state law recognizes this
fact. "A reckless driver can become a menace to ev-
eryone on the road when his car is not travelling at q
speed Of more than IS, or even IS hiles per hour. On
the other hand a skillfull and careful driver can skim
along at a 50-mile clip without endangering other
people on the road.
But for the hit-and-run driver there is no rem
edy. The only curb is a policing system which will
assure the guilty person being unprecedented. And
after he or she is caught no mercy should be shown.
A penitentiary sentence should be melted out in every
case and the law should be so framed as to make
It only necessary to prove that the person on trial
failed to stop and render aid.
Any driver who hits a person and then runs away
is a criminal at heart and deserves no mercy.
