Pivot Pair Surprising.

4 MOTHER factor in favor of the
Yankees is the unusual stamina
displayed by Tony Lazzeri and frankie
Crosetti, the second-baSe combination
Tony usually bogs down for awhile at
this time of the Summer. when the
infields become hard from sun and
heavy use. This year the veteran is
marching through the blistering
weather without sign of fatigue, and
the same is true of Crosetti, who OBJ
viously has benefited by the added
poundage he is carrying.
Joe Mccarthy was obliged to bench
Jake Powell for light hitting and Myril
Hoag stepped into the slot and not
only is hitting, but fielding with great
er brilliance than Powell. With the
Yankees it's a case of them as has

HOMICIDE SQUAD
R0UTS MAIN FOES
New York Club Generally
Gets Pitching When Its
Rivals Press.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HICAGO, July 28.-Those New
York Yankees are breaking
down like the Rock Of Gibral-
~ tar. That Yankee power may
be muffled for a time, but never long
enough to permit any rival to make
an appreciable cut into the grip on
first place.
The Yankees have way of reduc-
ing the team that is challenging their
lead at the particular moment. Re-
turning home from their first Western
trip of the season, the Yankees pull
verized the hopes Of Boston's Red Sox.
During their last stay in the stadium,
New York blasted Detroit, which was
enjoying a mild recurrence of pen
nant fever.
On Saturday last those Yanks came
into Chicago and found the town glib
bering over the sensational dash of
the White Sox That matter also was
handled in jig time and New YORK
pulled out for Detroit with the Sox
uprising thoroughly Gained.
After Homer Record.
NEW YORK Is shooting to excel its
home run record of $50, made in
the 1882 season, when George Herman
Ruth, Combs ct al were adding their
might to that of Lou Gehrig. The
Yankees have made around 120 hom-
ers in "a games and, with so remain
ing to play, may not only better their
own distance record, but also that of
the major leagues, made at 173 by
the Philadelphia Athletics in 1882.
A homer Is likely to erupt from any
part of the Yankee batting order.
Gehrig, Of course. is the chief dis
turber of distance, but Di Maggie,
Dickey and La3zeri are right handy
at skipping the ball out of the lot.
The Yankee pitching may be CLASH
fed as the best of poor lot and it's
the best chiefly because of tremendous
support. Also the Yankees have the
faculty of getting well-pitched game
when occasion demands. New York
came into Chicago after a poor stand
in st. Louis and Red Ruflng put hand
cuffs on the aspiring White Sox.
Johnny Broaca followed with a seven
hit performance that also saw the
Yank sluggers come to life with 13
hits and home runs.

in
nj dock-Schmeling fight is out
of chancery at last. and the
champion and the challenger
are actually going to fight each other
between September "a and 80 in Mad
ison Square Gardens haunted hole.
or bowl, hard by the largest ash-pile
on Long Island.
News of the $3.50 settlement be-
tween the Garden and Mike Jacobs,
which two rival units will promote the
fight together on terms of the deepest
and frankest mutual distrust, came as
welcome tonic to the gnarled ears
of Mr. Jimmy Braddock. the heavy
weight champion of the world. Mr..
Braddock promptly threw away the
crutch with which he planned to prop
himself up, and the comb with which
he expected to hoe his long white
beard, during the next 80 years of de-
bate and litigation over this same
fight.
mo kidding" said Mr.. Brad
dock, "I'm glad they kept it out
Of court.
II don't know nothing about legal
stuff, but I was beginning to have
dreams about the months and months
of yammering and arguing that would

my chance to put the slug on Schmel-
ing. No kidding, was afraid would
be an old man before I got to fight
the fella."
Braddock Bank Roll Threatened.
NATURALLY, the darkest of Mr..
Braddock's dreams was the dream
Of poverty. Jimmy was just one hop
of the relief rolls when he licked Max
Baer for the title. and since that time
he has accumulated little or nothing
in the form of ready sugar. The Baer
fight didn't net him much. He made
a few bobs here and there with exhibi-
ton stunts, but certainly not enough
to keep a healthy family fed and wa
tered for life.
He was banking on his next title de-
fense for a permanent browsing and
sluicing fund, and when James john
ston and Mike Jacobs went to the mat
with howls of II will not yield If 1t
takes so years." the unhappy cham
pion was haunted in his waking and
sleeping hours by the specter of that
old relief job on the docks of Jersey.
In q word, Jim was squarely
in the middle.
It looked to him as though Messrs
Johnston and Jacobs would be trading
torts and malfeasances and writs Of
habeas corpus long after the bone Of
contention CMr. Braddock) was bone
In more ways than one. Jim was like
the wards in chancery, and, If you
read your Dickens, you know that the
wards in chancery frequently cussed
the day they were spawned.
Well, the Garden and Mr.. Jacobs
have kissed and made up, and old Jim
is free to defend his title in September
and to stow away few pieces Of eight
In his gipsire against the next attack
of hard times. So that's all right.

Rowe Yields Only Five Hits.

CCHOOLBOY ROWE, whose fiinging
~ had been a standout among the
recent Detroit performances, was the
main factor in the Tiger triumph. He
limited the league leaders to five hits
and had shutout in hand until
Frankie Crosetti belted a homer in
the eighth.
Rowe virtually won his own game
in the third inning, when he drove one
of Lefty Gomez pitches out of the
park with Ray Hayworth on base to
start a three-run rally. He singled
home two more tallies in the seventh,
when Detroit fell on Walter Brown
and Ted Kleinhans for six more tallies
after Gomez had gone out for pinch
hitter.
The defeat did little damage to the
Yanks' lead, as the Indians game with
Wasthingon was rained out, while the
Browns, led by the aged and ailing
Jim Bottomley, knocked of the third
place Red Sox, Us.
Bottomley poked out two doubles

BOULEY PETITION
 LISTED TOMORROW

Spirited discussion concerning a change il the zoning laws govern ing property at Bouley manor is expected tomorrow night when the board of aldermen conducts pub- lie hearing on petition of Mrs. Ledn M. Bouley calling for a change in restrictions now existing. The entire board of aldermen will sit as a committee to hear the pro- ponents and opponents of the pe- tition.
 The change calls for transferring four lots in the Bouley manor tract from the residential to the business zone. The change is asked so that stores may be erected. Mrs. Bouley claims that the size of the neigh borhood warrants the change in the zoning ordinance 50 that certain business places may be opened to serve the area.
 A few monhts ago a similar re- quest was turned down following a heated public hearing before the board of aldermen. The request at that time, however, involved much more area than the new one that will come up for consideration to- morrow night. Only four lots are involved ill the latest petition. Nevertheless, considerable objection is expected to arise at the hearing, judging from advance reports.

DRUM CORPS. IN INITIAL BOW.
Bunker Hill Boys Make Ex- ceIIent Showing; Party
 Arranged for Funds

The first public performance of the recently organized Bunker Hill Fife and Drum corps was held at the school auditorium last night before an audience of 150 persons who thoroughly enjoyed the musi- cal program. The affair was spon- sored by the Bunker Hill Parent Teachers group.
 The corps of boys is under the able direction of Nicholas Montello and Frank Austin, to whom great deal of credit must be given. Mrs. J. Winifred Beecher is chairman of the music committee and Mrs. Earl Anderson is in charge of the uni form committee.
 It was announced last night that the 25 boys who make up the unit will march in the 4th of July pa- rade here and that dessert bridge will be held at the school auditor ium on April 27 to raise funds for the continuation of this new group. It was also stated that any Boy Scout who has not joined as yet and desires to do so should get in touch with Ralph w. Darlington.
 In connection with P. T. A. activi- ties, 1t was formally announced that Miss Anna Mcdonald has been chosen as delegate to the Water bury County Council and will serve in that capacity for the next two years.
