Yanks End Losing Streak.

COMPLETING the days roundup
for the portsiders, Rookie Vito
Tamulis of the Yankees proved
effective in the pincheS and the New
Yorkers ended q four-game losing
streak with a 6-to-3 triumph over the
league-leading Indians. A radically
revised lineup, occasioned by Ben
Chapman's return to action, started
the Yanks off to 40 lead of Oral
Hildebrand in the first two innings.
Chapman lasted less than two innings
before his "charleyhorse" again be-
came balky and he dropped out. Billy
Knockerbocker, Cleveland shortstop,
who was stricken with appendicitis be-
fore the season started, made his first
appearance of the season as pinch
hitter.
Chicago's White Sox, ousted from
the lead Thursday. lost a chance to
regain it when they took a second
beating from Boston, II to 2. Rallies
for four runs in the first and f1ve in
the sixth drove George Earnshaw out,
while Gordon DUSTY Rhodes pitched
almost perfectly until an error cost
him a shutout after leading, Ito.
Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren, rookie
first baseman, smacked two homers,
each with a man on base, to top the
attack, while Zeke Bonura smacked
his seventh four-master for the Pale
Hose.
The entire National League program
was rained out.

had been no obscene language
used, though, according to Harris
and the players. Moriarty, how
ever, had had his dander up from
the start of the joshing and several
times had stepped from his posi-
ton near first base to address the
bench.
Finally, as the Nationals were
about to begin their fourth bat
ting turn, the umpire blew up. He
strobe to the Nationals dugout,
tongue-lashing the players while
on the way. Moriarty glared from

out Fred Sington, chuckling at the

A CCORDING to Jensen it was a

Hadley so wild for years in his

Sponsible for Hadley leading the
American League pitchers in total
bases on balls issued year after year.
Jensen guaranteed to relieve the arm
ailment, but insisted that it would be
up to the pitcher himself to master

For a time it looked as if the opera
ton alone had cured Hadley of his
wildness. He appeared able to pitch
Just where he wanted in his early en-
gagements this Spring. But it was
vastly different yesterday as he faced
the Tigers. Then Hadley made Jen-
sen sound quite right.
In his seven and one-third innings

Hadley tossed up seven bases on balls.
But he was even wilder than that.
He went to long counts with most of

though, did this wildness tell heavily
against his ball club. When he issued
his sixth pass virtually he passed the
ball game to a Tiger team that had
been battled bitterly from the start
by the Nationals.
! Hadley in the seventh had dis
posed Of Bill Rogell. Then Gerald
Walker, unable to knock the ball by
the infeld in the first two times at
bat, came up to thump a three
bagger against the rightfleld end Of
the bleachers. The score was 2 all,
but it looked as if the Tigers would
break the deadlock.

~ ALTIMORE, May 11.-Over the
K oval where her mother raced
to victory II years ago. War
rem Wright's Nellie Flag.
daughter of the famous Nellie Morse,
today sought to avenge her defeat In
the Kentucky Derby when she faced
William Woodward's Omaha, victor
at the Downs, and seven other s.
year-old thoroughbreds in the forty
fifth running of the $25,000 Freak
ness at Pimlico.
Beaten but not disgraced when she
finished fourth in the Derby. Nellie
Flag came up to today's race with
both her owner and trainer, Burt Will
liams, confident she would stop short
the parade of WoodWard's big red
horse to the championship of the di-
vision. Her workouts this week have
consisted of nothing more serious than
short breeZes, but from the stable
came the word she was ready to ac-
cept the issue over the one-and-three-
sixteenth-mile jaunt.
The glory that was hers prior to
the running of the Derby went to
Omaha, however, for it was the son
of Gallant Fox that was made the
6-to-5 pre-race choice to duplicate
the 1880 triumph of his gallant sire
Omaho was so we'll fancied by the
advance delegations of the expected
crowd of $4,000 or $4,000 that he was
expected to answer the call to boots
and saddles at even money or less.

Yanks Seek Clincher.

DOISTERED thus with a 20 lead,
D the United States can clinch the
series today if Bulge and his
California partner defeat Cheng and
Kho in doubles. In that event the two
final singles matches tomorrow would
be merely a formality.
Yesterdays play was somewhat
spotty. perhaps because all four con-
testants were handicapped by the high
altitude. Grant especially was er-
ratio In the first set Of his match with
Cheng. He netted frequently or drove
outside while the Chinese was strictly
on his game. Grant rallied, however,
at the outset of the second set and
thereafter he was in full control.
Bulge played the best tennis Of the
day except for a momentary lapse in
the third set when he seemed to tire
and lost control. In that set Kho
put over five service aces and pulled
up from So to win the set.
The winner of the current series will
play Mexico in the zone final next
week, the ultimate survivor to qualify
for the interzone matches abroad.

OPERATION FAILS
TO BRING CONTROL
Bumps Passes Send GriffS
to Defeat in Opening Tilt
With Tigers.
BY JOHN b. KELLER,
etan Correspondent Of The Star.

~ ETROIT, May ll.-Some Of
these days Bump Hadley may
acquire control and when
he does he will be one Of
the greatest pitchers in base ball.
Until he gets that control, though,
the ball club to which he belongs
likely will suffer any time he is at
work on the hi|.
It was lack Of control in his
pitching yesterday that largely &C
counted for the s-to-4 beating the
Nationals took in their first encounter
Of the season with the champion
Tigers and for his second defeat in
the campaign. This inability to pitch
to a spot is nothing new in Hadley,
although it had been thought by
those in charge of the Washington
club that his control had been i'm
proved after the treatement the
chunky chucker's arm had received
during the training period from Lee
Jensen, Chattanooga's famed muscle
manipulation
In his first four games Of the
season Hadley revealed so little wild
ness that he gave only eight bases
on balls and Bucky Harris was led
to believe that the pitchers control
at last was nothing to worry about.
And that despite Doc Jensen's warn
ing that the pitcher following the
arm operation still might be a trif1e
highty in his finging for a month or
two.

v1P TO that time Hadley had al

over the left field wall. The Nationals
had begun the scoring with Clif Boil
tons homer in the second, a lift over
the right field fence. They had tied
the game In the sixth when Hadley
doubled and Heinie Manush singled.
After that Tiger rally, however,
the Nationals could get only two more
scores OF the left-handed Sullivan.
With O single, o double and o walk
they had the bases crowded with none
out In the ninth. A wild pitch let q

Loses Weak Hitter.

HOWEVER, the home side had to
be aided by Bumps wildness to
get ahead. Following Walker
at the plate was Owen, a notoriously
weak hitter this season. In his two
previous turns at bat, Owen had rolled
to the shortstop and fouled to the
first baseman. And Hadley's first two
pitches made Owen appear just as
weak this time. The first went by
the batter to be called a strike. Owen
swung at the second, a wide curve,
and 1t was two strikes. II Hadley
could get Owen the Nationals still
would be in the ball game. Here
came the break against the Nationals,
however. With his next four pitches
Hadley could not get the ball across
nor even throw one good enough to
cause Owen to swing. So instead Of
the second out he had seemed des-
tined to become, owen walked, and
the way to a five-run rally by the
Tigers was opened.
Joe Sullivan got O scratchy single

walked Mickey Cochrane to I'LL the
