RECORDS
HITTING 4 HOMERS
Blows Help PhlIs Vanquish
Bucs-Yanks Get Sweet
Revenge on Tribe.
BY SID FEDER,

T<HE home record, which had
been giving the National League
the laugh for just three days
short Of 80 years, exists no
longer.
Chuck Klein. whose specially is do
ing big things with his big bat for the
Phillies wiped out both the laugh and
the record yesterday by parking four
home-run balls in the right-field
stands Of the Pittsburgh Pirates
Forbes Field
The last time a National Lacquer
did that was on July Is, 1895, when
Ed Delehanty. also Philly clubber,
turned the trick Before him only
one man performed it and since then
only Iron Man Lou Gehrig OF the
New York Yankees.
AS result. Klein's clouting gives
him tie with Gehrig for the modern
major league record and sets up
modern National League mark for the
boys to shoot at. since DelehantyS
performance comes under the AN
cient" listing.

lock with Gehrig for the modern
oig-time mark for most extra bases
on long hits in game, IL, and sets
new National League record for most
total bases in a game. Is. tying Gehrig
and Ty Cobb in the American League.
Klein's prodigious pounding, just
about running the Pirate pitching staff
for the day and enabling the Phillies
to come through with a s-6 decision
in 10 innings. was the standout of a
program Of sparkling performances
throughout both leagues yesterday.
Gehrig took over the major league
home-run leadership from Jimmy Foxx
and Hal Trosky by smashing out two
4-base blows to bring his total to %.
as the Yankees gained revenge for
their previous days clubbing at the
hands Of the Cleveland Indians by
coming through with an 1870 win.
Cards, Cubs Maintain Pace.
PUCK NEWSOM allowed the Tigers
one lone hit as he pitched the
Nationals to SO victory. The St.
Louis Cardinals held onto their slim
half-game lead in the National League
by coming from behind a 40 disad-
vantage to ruin a pitching masterpiece
by Carl Hubbell and nose out the
Giants 5-4 in Is innings.
Vernon Kennedy won his sixth
straight hurting triumph by turning
back the Red Sox with seven hits. as
the White Sox came through s-2.
For the second straight day the
Boston Bees upset the Reds, winning
to l behind Danny MacFayden'S
fine hurling against his former team
mates. The Chicago Cubs remained
hot on the heels of the Cardinals by
downing the Dodgers. 60.

seems to have succeeded.

.JUNGALEERS BACK

BY DILLON GRAHAM,

TT HAS been just a month since
Mickey Cochrane, Detroit's nerve
ridden. exhausted pilot, turned the
Il skidding. discouraged world
champions over to Del Baker and
hurried TO hospital bed.
Today Baker. the veteran coach.
has the Tigers roaring through the

spirited team that won't regard its
cause as lost.
Tearing through all opposition the
Detroiters have won l3 of their last
IS games In the short month Coch-
rane has spent in sick bay and on
Western ranch regaining his strength
the Tigers have moved along at an
average Just below the 500 mark.
Baker Not Daunted.
1T STILL looks TO be an almost i'm

considered New York's big margin,
but anything can happen in base
ball
That's the way we feel. The Ysnks
have a huge advantage and they're
going good. but bigger leads than
theirs have been shot away and moth
ing is impossible. We're going stead
lily forward. winning every game we
can and waiting for the breaks. The
Yanks may find some stormy weather
somewhere down the route"

The Greek papers carried regularly
a small ad that a practically new

The Italian writer's declared Ethiop-
