Yanks Take Shellacking.

THE league-leading Yankees ran
Il into what was a l4-to-2 shell
lacking at the hands of the Chi
cago White Sox. Ted Lyons pitched
six-hit ball to give the Yanks their
sixth defeat in seven games in the
West while the Hose piled up Is blows,
including homers by Jimmy Dykes,
Lyons and Al Simmons The defeat
was less costly than the others, how
ever, as the Red Sox halted Cleveland,
Us, with a three-run assault in the
ninth.
Pittsburgh and Chicago, the Ma
tional Leagues leading pair, suffered
Setbacks. Fred Farmhouse limited
the Pirates to five safeties while Bos-
ton battered Heinie Meme and Waite
Hoyt in the last innings for a 6-to-l
triumph. The fourth-place Giants
took care of the Cubs, to 2, giving
Guy Bush his first defeat after seven
pitching victories.
The Brooklyn Dodgers came to the
aid of their New York enemies by
slapping a 5-to-3 defeat onto the
third-place Cardinals, reducing the
st. Louis margin to a half game.
Harvey Hendrik's timely hitting en-
abled the Phillies to defeat the last
place Cincinnati Reds, 3 to 2, in a
mound duel between Phil Collins and
Benny Frey.

Myers Error Ruins Stewart.


"A S 1T was, Myers error shook
~ Stewart to such an extent the
pitcher was yanked before the
second inning was over. Russell came
on for his first work since last Thurs
day, when he had a foot gaShed by
spikes during a Cleveland game, and
a good job of hurting he did through
the fifth. Then McCoil had not SO
good two innings against the Browns
and Priln a strong single round
Ten hits in all were cleaned off the
first three Washington moundsmen.
The same amount was made off the
delivery of the eccentric Buck New
som and the Browns right -hander
was unsteady enough to issue four
passes. But he struck out seven and,
outside of the seventh inning, when
Kuhel's homer driven to the top of
the right field pavilion followed
Myers two-bagger, Newsom got off
handsomely.
The Browns opened quickly against
Stewart. Cliff, who was such hit
ter during the series in Washington,
began the first frame with a single
West bunted down the third-base line
for a hit and Burns sacrificed. A
homer by Pepper, drive into the
left-fleld stand, meant three runs.
Bejma started the Browns second
turn with double, but had to remain
at second as Newsom was chucked
out by Travis. A loft by Cliff did
not help Bejma, but Myer, with a
third out at hand, let VESTS grounder
get away and a run went in. Burns
double chased over another.
The Nationals first passed up a
scoring chance in the fourth, when,
after Manush went out, Newsom
walked Cronin and Harris in success
sion But Stone flied out and after
Travis infield single filled the bases
Phillips drilled into force-play.

TECH HIGHS ball-playing
teachers are a cocky lot
today. After six long
4 years of failure they
finally overcame the Eastern
faculty team in their annual
game yesterday, 11-9.
The match was called at the end
of the sixth inning, much to the relief
of both players and spectators.
Techs strategy told. Heretofore it
has been sending Artie Boyd, basket
ball coach, to the box. Now Artie
is a good basket ball coach. Every
one admits that. But that doesn't
mean he also is good pitcher. Past
performances indicated to the Tech
tacticians it would better put Artie
back of the plate this year and put
E. G. Foxley, base ball coach, on the
mound. The combination worked
first rate. The fasteners, however,
point out Tech was aided no little by
Joe Keegin, an Eastern all-high
player, who was loaned to the Nc
Kinley team, and Cox, a shortstop.
Chief Guyon, who has been pitch
ing Eastern to victory each year over
Tech, faltered yesterday, but it must
be said the genial mentor was not
altogether to blame. His support de-
cidedly was anything but alright.
Both teams shone at the fine sup
per that was served after the game.

When got thrown out of the
game. they give me real hand.
Which only goes to show that you
never know where you are"
On the whole, though, Casey is con-
vinced that the fans of Brooklyn are
for the club and the new regime.
What other sixth-place club is
gonna draw 5000 people on a Mon
day?" he inquired. They tell me in
the Office that we've averaged IL 200
or 10000 a day this year at home. I
got them coming out to the park, and
if the club slips into the first division,
like it might, we'll break all attend
ance records
The new players are getting fol-
lowing. This is a great town, you
know, for following some particular
player. Half the time he's getting
booed and half the time it's cheers,
but he has his following I guess Zack
Wheat and Rucker were the only
Brooklyn players that never got booed.
I can't think of any one else that
didn't get it some time or other.
Now, the fella that's got the fol-
lowing so far this year is young Frey.
They seem to like him, and he's liable
to turn out to be real colorful ball
player. I'll tell you this, as far as
the club goes, he does us more good
than harm. He's a nice hitter, he's
fast, he can run bases and he's full of
fight. Then his fielding is picking up.
He makes some real brilliant plays in
there at shortstop. And you heard
about those three terrific wallops he
got in St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Chi
cago."
Mr.. Stengel forgot the vagaries Of
the crowd and fell into a discussion

HORNSBY HORNETS
BIG PEST TO EAST
Rise From Seventh to Tie
for Third in Two Days.
N. |. Leaders Lose.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

.THE st. Louis Browns
haven't yet become the
sensations of the Ameri-
- can League, but since
they settled down at home : to
face the Eastern clubs they have
turned in some successful per-
formances.
The Brown have taken two out Of
three from the Red Sox, duplicated
that performance against the Ath-
leticS, and opened third series yes
terday with smashing 6-to-2 triumph
over Washington.
Buck Newsom, the big rookie from
Los Angeles, hurled a neat game al
though he allowed 10 hits, as many as
the Brown got. Another recruit, Ray
Pepper, supplied the scoring punch by
knocking in four runs. The triumph
climaxed the Browns two-day climb
from seventh place into a three-way
tie with the Senators and Detroit for
third as st. Louis reached the 500
mark for the first time.
The Tigers lost their exclusive hold
on that berth when three of their
pitchers failed to halt Philadelphia S
l5-hit attack and the Athletics won
an ll-to-5 decision.

Cl1C.
The challenging of Vests arm was
a foolish piece of business, but not
nearly as foolish as refusing to stick
fast at second on Stones hit. There
was no base ball locic in attempting
to get an extra sack under the cir
cumstances, not with Harris club five
runs behind.
So Travis third single that fol-
lowed could do nothing more than
send Stone to second Phillips popped
out and the scoring chance was gone
when Dugas picked up Russells bat
and forced out Travis.
After Kuhel hammered his homer
in the seventh Manush got single.
Cronin, though, lofted out and Harris
drove into a double play. Thereafter
the Nationals never had a chance.
Hemleys double was all the Browns
got off Russell They gave McColl a

"I never heard so many different

me to put Danny Taylor at third base
and bring back Lombardi to catch.
Another wants to see Wilson, Fred
erick and Babe Herman in the out

that Medwick to Brooklyn"
Casey paused to reflect.

CR0N|N CONFIDENT
OF WINNING PACE.
Champs Boss Has Pitching
Doped Out for Rest of
Trip-Lose but Rise.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

CT. LOUIS, May 24.-When
his Nationals tackle Joe
McCarthy's Yankees in
- New York next week the
two clubs will be battling for
first place in the American
League race, Manager Joe
Cronin predicts. And that de-
spite the setback suffered yes
terday in the opening game OF
the series with the Browns.
Although beaten, 6 to 2, in their
first game in St. Louis this season
the Nationals actually improved their
position. They rose from fourth place
to a tie for third, sharing the latter
berth with their conquerors and the
Tigers, and still remained but three
games behind the front-running New
Workers.
That difference, Cronin maintains,
will be lessened before the Nationals
Jump into their three-game series
with the YankS. He also declares
he is confident his club will make
more headway in the next five games
than the second-place Indians or
occupies the show place in the cham
pionship chase
Despite the early licking the spe-
cially primed Walter Stewart took
from his former team in the inaug-
ural set-to of the set here, Cronin
continues to profess faith in the abil-
ity of his pitchers in the main to
carry on successfully. So much so
that he already has planned his
pitching slate for the remainder of
the tour.
I'm going along here with Weaver
and Whitehill as originally sched-
uled," the Washington pilot an
nounced this morning. And I'm
counting on Burke. Crowder and
Thomas to handle the games in Chi
cago. Thomas will be in good shape
for that series. Then I'll come right
back with Stewart, Weaver and White
hill against the Yankees.
