EXTRA BASE HITS SWAMP MACKMEN IN SHIBE STARTER
Yanks Double Up on As as Ruth, Byrd Feature With Willow
By JOHN S. sCHoELKE

Philadelphia, April 12-Eight of the dozen hits Colonel Jake Rupert's Rifemen be1ted from the offerings of Big George Earnshaw were of the double, triple and nomeric variety, which is ample reason why Joe McCarthy's Tanks outscored Connie Mack's efstwhile world baseball champions by 8 ra- tio of two to one before 18,000 cold customers at Shibe park this af- ternoon. The final count was 12-6 and uniformly speaking, the Tanks matched their twelve hits with an equal number of runs.
 Early Start
 The fans had not long to wait for their first thrill. The best man of baseball, George Herman Ruth, met the first pitch of the veteran Earnshaw with a whack that shiv- cred Connie Mack's timbers, the hit an easy home run, scoring two ahead of him. In the third he got another, then Gehring got one and sammy Byrd tied Ruth with a couple of four-base clouts which completed a Yankee home-run orgy that put the homers of Foxx and Simmons very much in the shade. Earnshaw gave way to Deshong in the fourth, but the pa- rade of doubles, triples and hom- CTS continued, with Lefty Gomez doing great work until the final inning when he was clipped for four straight hits, one of them a homer by Simmons, which brought Charley Ruffing into the box in 9 hurry.
 And among the flock of batting thrills, the game produced another ensation-Gehrig stole a base. The score:

During the spring training season at Clear water. one day Lefty drank pint of milk at breakfast and another pint at lunch. That afternoon he made four hits. He has been drinking his pint of milk at break fast and lunch ever since. They Like Foncsca

CRAWFORD IS
 AUST TRALIA'S
 BEST WHITMAN
Tennis Star Meets United States Tn Philadel-
 phia Today

HAVANA, May 27.-Jack Clem- finger, non-playing captain of Aus tralia's Davis Cup team believes that Jack Crawford, Australia $ number one star could take Nor man Brookes, G. R. Patterson, or any other of that continents ten his greats and, at their palmiest, thrash them soundly
 Cleminger rates Crawford = blond, strapping six-footer, with worlds of power in his shoulders and forearm-one of the present era's few really great players. Hes undeniably the man the United States will have to beat in Davis Cup play" he said here. And he'll take lots of beating
 His game is all round, has no weaknesses. He serves with ef- fortleSs ease, but the ball comes off the ground with zip that will bother any player
 Called "15" Better
 He's equally accurate off either side, and there are very few fore hand drives in the world to match his And his overhead and volley- ing measures up.
 "Wilmer Allison beat Crawford in five sets at Wimbledon in 1880. But Crawford is now 15' better" "
 The blonde giant from far-away Australia in practice session, has displayed uncanny ability to place his shots and, in every department of the game, has borne out Clem- fingers estimation of his play
 Its most formidable feature, how ever, in the team captains opin- ion, is his consistent stroking of the ball off the half-bounce.
 Hes on top of his opponent continually" Cleminger comment ed, never letting him get set, and for that reason he's a diff cult opponent for any player"
 Third Year of Play This is Crawford's third year in Davis Cup play, as it is Harry Hupman's, another member of the team. Cliff Sproule, the third man, received his baptism of fire in the contests with Cuba.
 "Sproule and Hupman, too, Cleminger said, "can rise to great heights. We've as good & team as any this year"
 Victorious over Cuba without the loss of a match, Australia meets the United States in the North American zone final at Phil adelphia today, tomorrow and Mon- day

There is a reason to believe that the major leagues before long will be obliged to follow the lead of the big minors in effecting further re- trenchments.
 In number of spots the spring gate receipts have exceeded expec- tationS; in others the drop has been more pronounced. Bad wea- ther has hit the eastern clubs es- pecially hard.
 Prices are not likely to be re- duced, generally but the tendencq to trim payrolls and, where ad- vantageous, to unload high-priced player ivory, will increase. Even now quite few magnates are will ing to admit they did not wield the axe on salaries as vigorously as they should have done.

HUNDREDS ARE INJURED, RIOTS
Bombay Soothing with Dis orders Between Mos
 lens and Hindus

BOMBAY, India, May 16.-Thir- ty persons are dead and approxi- mately 600 are injured as the re- suit of rioting between Moslems and Hindus which has been in progress for three days.
 The police fired into mobs in several parts of the city.
 The situation is considered so serious that Sir Frederick Sykes, Governor of Bombay, who left Saturday for Manabaleshsaw, re- turned posthaste by airplane.
 The casualty list rose rapidly from Is to 24 deaths within a few hours after the riots broke. The list has risen to 30 deaths and nearly 200 injured in the first few hours in today's battle.
 The riots began when two Hindu boys were attacked by a group of Moslems who stoned street cars carrying Hindu passengers.
 Attempts are being made to pacify the mobs.

Susan Lenox,' Come. Clean and Harry
 Lauder a Capitol

Three notable shows on one pro- gram again constitute the offering at the Capitol theatre Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rise" with Greta Garbo and Clark Gable in the leading roles; Come Clean" with Stan Laurel and Oliver Har- dy as the principals, and 'Roamin' in the Gloamin, and other song cfaracterizations by Sir Harry Lau- der will be presented for the last times tonight at the popular play house.
 In Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rise" Greta Garbo has IS changes of costumes. In the picturization of the David Graham Philips mo- vel Miss Garbos wardrobs in- cludes a carnival dancers spangles, ultra-modern evening gowns, pa jamas, ensembles, sport suits, farm girls clothes, Follies tights, hiking outfit, gingham frocks, lounging robes, oilskins and boots and boat ing costumes.
 Robert z. Leonard Directed
 Robert z. Leonard directed the feature from Wanda Tuchock's ad- aptation of the famous story. The film setting encompasses a wide latitude of action, necessitating the great variety of costumes worn by the star.
 Besides Miss Garbo and Clark Gable the cast includes Jean Her sholt, John Milan, Alan Hale, Hale Hamilton, fIiida Vaughn, Russell Simpson, Cecil Cunningham and Ian Keith,
 Try to Hide Women
 Come Clean" is the screamingly pitiful story of two inexperienced men trying to hide woman, a desperate woman, from their wives. The woman, a character of rather uncertain reputation, Is portrayed by Mae Busch, and she certainly puts the comedians through their
 
 paces. As we'll as Miss Busch, Lin- da Loredo and Gertrude Astor have important parts as the respective wives of Laurel and Hardy.
 Conspicuous in connection with the appearance of Sir Harry Lau- der in his presentation of Scoth songs are the richness and var iety of his Scottish plaids.
 Finest Scotch Wools
 The plaids utilized by Lauder in his kiltie costumes are all woven from the finest Scotch wools and they are infinite in design and coloring, Every Scottish clan has it's own plaid, and woe to Lauder if he ever sang song typical of a wee lassie of the clan of the MacPhersons or the Macdonalds in the plaid of rival clan.

ANKENSTEIN' WILL BE SEEN TUESDAY NIGHT
Weird, Century-Old Leg end Will Be Present
 ed at Capitol

Scientists, philosophers and med ical men have for centuries strug- gled With the most pertinent fact of life. That fact is life itself, The literary case of Frankenstein, who created a monster, is of course a weird idea.
 Frankenstein, it must be remen- bered, was the man who made the monster and not the monster somebody made.
 The idea of creating human life is centuries old But the Fran kenstein legend in literature Is only 100 years old.
 Written By Shelly's Wife
 ''Frankenstein" was written by Mrs. Mary Wollstonecrpft Shelley wife of the well-known British poet. It was written In a cottage on the shores of Lake Como in a compe- tition with her own husband and two of his friends. The cornpeti- tion was to produce the most un- usual story. The others all give Mrs. Shelley the palm, and for one hundred years there has been no story as unusual as Fran kenStein."
 Published in Every Language
 In book form ''Frankenstein" has been published in every lan- guage and is issued in a tremen- dous number of editions.
 Coming down to more pertinent facts to the theatre -goer in con- nection with the presentation of "F'rankenstein" at the Capitol thea tre tomorrow night, Colin Give plays Frankenstein, who created the monster; Boris Karloff plays the monster, Mae Clark plays the fd- ancee of Dr. F'rankensteifl, and John Boles plays the other man in Mae Clarke's life.
