Associated Press sports writer,
lust about every time the
fans start saying that Babe
~ Ruth is through" at last,
base balls great slugger
and great Snowman steps out and
shows them there's life in the old
hoss yet.
The Babe has been a wide open
target this season with his extra
load of weight and years and
with the old spring and speed
visibly missing. And when the
Yankees came back from their
Western tour with Ruth's home
run total just where it was when
they left, at 5, the rurnors came
thick and fast.
Ruth made his reply yesterday, when
more than $4,000 fans were out at the
Yankee Stadium to see for themselves.
He clouted three homers, hit q single
that led to another important run and
personally led the Yanks to a double
victory over the Chicago White Sox
that assured them Of holding the Ameri-
can League lead for while longer at
least.
THE scores were 2 to l and 8 to z.
i Ruth's contribution was to sock a
homer in the first inning Of the
opener, single in the sixth and score the
winning run, and then to paste the Of
ferings Of Milton CASTOR and Red Faber
for circuit blows eight and nine in the
second clash. The total of nine tied
him with Lou Gehrig for the American
League lead. The double defeat dropped
the Pale Hose down into fifth place. a
half game behind the Philadelphia
Athletics and Cleveland Indians, who
gained a virtual tie for third, even
though the AS lost to Washington and
the Indians broke even with the Boston
Red Sox
The second-place Senators pasted
Rube Walberg for six hits and four runs
In the eighth to beat Philadelphia, IA.
Cleveland climbed out of the second
division by pounding out an 11-2 VIC
tory after Bob Weiland's six-llit pitch
ing had enabled the tail-enders to beat
Oral Hildebrand So in the first game.
After five hitless innings the st. Louis
Browns landed on Elon Hogsett for
four runs and defeated Detroit, 5-3
THE st, Louis Cardinals clambered
L into second place in the National
League by sweeping q double
header with the Phillies, 81 and So.
They came from behind with late
attack on Flint Rhem in the opener,
in which they were aided by five Philly
errors, then made their winning margin
in the first inning of the second clash
Brooklyn's Dodgers knocked their
neighbors, the New York Giants, out
of second place and gained sixth for
themselves with a 5-4 victory when
they piled up enough runs off Carl
Hubbell in the early frames to with
stand a four-run Giant rally in the
eighth.
The champion Chicago Cubs moved
up another notch, beating the Boston
Braves twice, ST. and 80 to run their
winning streak to five straight games
and tie Cincinnati for fourth place.
Timely hitting won the opener and
Lonnie Warneke continued it to string
up his seventh mound victory in the
nlghtcap. His hit put Bill Jurges in
position to score the winning run in
the ninth after he had doubled to
drive in the first Cub run.
The Reds gained an even break with
the pace-setting Pittsburgh club when
Eppa Rixey. an old Pirate LINK" pitched
fve-hit ball to win the second game
