n n EMORIALN day provided two
I'M things that will 1inger long In
the memory Of the Takoma Tt
gers. Those two things were
in the form of double-bill trouncing
at the hands of the Northern Athletic
Cub.
When the Red Birds walked of the
field with 14-to-3 and a 4-to-2 swim
victory over the Tigers, they proved
several things, one of them rather dis
maying to the Howard A. French nine,
whom the Northern meet on June at
the Grifflth Stadium in a game that
should go a long way toward deciding
this years independent unlimited cham

Bill Flester's French team went TO SiIT
yer Spring to engage the Tigers. ex-
pecting a victory over. their younger
opponents, and was very much sur
prised and panied ball club when these
same Tigers took a well-earned 8-to-6
decision.
Now that the Red Birds have beaten
the. team that licked the Trenches, who
under the colors of the Georgetown
Athletic Club won the championship last
season, they will go into the game on
June as slight favoriteS.
Little pre-game interest has attended
this affair at the Griffith Stadium, but
It's pretty certain that when the time
comes for these two teams to take the
field, more than the usual interest in a
sandlot game will be expressed.

One is the test the Tigers have given
each team: the other is the fact that
the Pullman team, which now Is leading
the. Terminal "Y" League by a COM
Portable margin, Is composed almost en-
tirely of Howard French players. while
Express, their most dangerous rival, Is
made up of several members of the
Northerns. Yet Pullman has beaten
Express in every game played between
these teams.
To the casual observer this data may
cause him to lean toward the side of
the Trenches, but there are exactly six
reasons why the Red Birds could be
made pre-game favorites. And they
are: Tots" Long. Willie Wolfe, Brother

PHILADELPHIA, May 81 d.
Howard Ehmke. veteran right-hander
of the Athletics and the hero of the first
world series game between the Athletics
and Chicago Cubs last Fall, apparently
is on his way out of the majors
Manager Connie Mack has announced
that the big pitcher would be given his
unconditional release as soon as the
necessary waivers are received from the
Is other major league clubs.
II think his arm is gone" Mack said.
Under the rules, If any club should
claim him. would have to notify them
of this fact. 1 am sorry to have to let
Ehmke go, because he is fine Charac-
ter. but I have to make room for an
extra man who will be of more use
to u.s."
Should Ehmke be waived out of the
majors it will mark the end of pitch
ing career which started in Los Angeles

right all season, Clyde Beck was moved
into English's spot at short, and the
Hardly was the shift made before
Hornsby was hurt. Mccarthy sent
Clarence Blair to second.
Blair celebrated by playing the game
OF his life yesterday. He did no hit
ting in the morning game. but in the
afternoon broke loose with a pair of
doubles and home run. His first
two-baSe knock sent over two Cub
runs and his homer accounted for
three more. The second double sent
in the tieing run that made an extra
inning necessary. He fielded fault
lessly in both games, handling total
of IL chances without a slip.
Foot Catches, Bone Snaps.
The injury to Hornsby occurred in
the third inning of the morning con-
test. He had doubled and on a wild
throw by Orsatti. attempted to go to
third. In trying to slide away from
Picher Sylvester Johnson's quick throw
his foot caught and the bone snapped.
Hornsby today had business of sort
on the fleld-accepting the most valu-
able player" prize for 1929, a bag of
gold containing 81 900 and a gold
medal. Following the game he plan
ned to return to his home, in st. Louis,
to recover from his injuries.

French Il. C.. Takes Due Notice

Bill Flester's club and who may make
up the difference. They are Jack Mat
tingly, Navy Yard third baSeman. and
Marcus Chaconas, who Flester calls the
best batter on the local sandlots.
Both teams have shown in games to
date that hitting Is not che of their
weaknesses. Buck Grier undoubtedly
has the better infield. His pony infield
of Long, Spauldlng, Wolfe and Harding
is one Of the best ever to perform here
about. The French A. c. probably has
the better battery in Lefty Mcintyre
and Fee Colllere, while in Bob Lyon,
Flester has another good hurler.
So when these teams take the field
one week from tomorrow, it will be
more than another Pullman Express
battle, and to attempt to establish one
of them as favorites is taking risk.

SIX DOUBLE Wins
SHAKE STANDINGS
Dodgers Gain Two-Game
Lead by Beating Pills.
Yanks Climb to Third.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IN a pair of pennant races as
close as those in the two major
leagues have been through
the early part of the season,
the results of the double headers
of Memorial day came as some
thing of a surprise. Eight pairs
of games were played yesterday,
and only two were divided, while
the rest figured to a considerable
extent in shaking up the stand
ingS.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, weakened by
injuries to their pitching staff, got an
even break with Cincinnati. and the
st. Louis Browns chung to sixth place
by splitting with the White Sox.
Cincinnati, with Red Lucas outpitch:-
ing Leon Chagnon, took the morning
game from Pittsburgh. to /. In the
afternoon the Reds gave away a lead,
then came strong, but lost, to g.. The
Chicago Americans had to go to 10 In
nings to win the first game, to 4, but
they failed to give Ted Lyons proper
support in the second, committing six
errors, and the Browns pulled out
4-to-3 victory.
Dodgers Take Lead.
Brooklyn's slugging Robins accom-
plished the most in two games, going
from tie for first place in the National
League to a two-game lead by beating
the Phillies, IL to and IL to o. The
Robins hammered out 81 hits in the two
contests. The Chicago Cubs refused to
let their troubles get the best of them
and took two games from the st. Louis
Cardinals. They won the first, 2 to 0,
behind Charley Roots fine pitching, but
lost Rogers Hornsby, who fractured an
ankle sliding into base. But still Chi.
cage kept on fighting, and took q 10
inning afternoon contest, 9 to 8, going
into tie in games with Pittsburgh for
third place.
The Boston Braves brought about
another change in the National League
standing as they took two 6-to-5 deci.
Sions from the New York Giants on late
rallies. The Braves pulled out the first
game with two runs in the ninth in
ming, then repeated the act In the sec
ond, scoring the winning run in the
ilnal frame after Wally Berger's twelfth
home run had tied it up in the eighth.
AS the result of the double victory Bos-
ton went to fifth place and New York
to sixth.

The Philadelphia Athletics clipped
Washington's margin of leadership from

ing the entire season of 1929, and
it's long way to the Fourth of
July yet!
And, say, this Lyons Yields big
stick, too. But why not? He wasn't
named after Teddy Roosevelt for
nothing! On May 81 last he beat
Detroit, to 3, batting in three runs
himself with three timely bingles,
which more or less repeated a VIC
tory he scored over Herb Pennock
and the Yankees last August, when
he got three hits, including double.
Who says pitchers can't hit?
Ted Lyons was born in Louisiana
in December. 1900 He was working
with the Baylor University ball team
at Waco, Tex, in 1923, when Ray
Schalk of the White Sox stopped
off to watch the athletes perform.
The Cracker" caught some of the
collegian's offerings and was so i'm
pressed with his pitching that he
signed the youngster up to report
to the South Siders upon the COM
pletion of his college work. So Ted
became a member of the Pale Hose
the following June.
Wonder where the White Sox
would be this season without Mr..
Lyons right-handed pitching?

Yanks and Tigers Pull
A Trade InUolUing FiUe

NEW YORK, May 81 (P.-On the
theory that a change of scenery
may prove beneficial, the Detroit
Tigers and New York Yankees have
completed a flve-player trade, the
biggest base ball transaction of the
season. The Yankees have given up
Waite Hoyt, veteran right-handed
pitcher, and Infielder Mark Koenig
for Owen Carroll, pitcher: Harry
Rice, outflelder, and George Wuest-
ing, in fielder.
Hoyt and Koenig were mainsprings
in the pennant-winning Yank ma
chimes of 1926-27-28, but Manager
Bob Shawkey apparently believes
they have outlived their usefulness.
Both have been sad disappointment
this year just as Carroll and Wuest-
ling have been to Manager Bucky
Harris of the Tigers.
