Yankees Boast
Murderers Row.

The thrill-packed exploits Of the
New York Yankee 'murderers'
row" of the Ruth era are still the
standard of excellence in the mat
ter of annihilating the opposition,
but even they had their limita-
tionS.
Today the Yankees present a
ball-powdering brigade that in
cludes even the pitcher-when
Monte Pearson, the ex-Indian, Is
doing the pitching.
The Yankees routed Schoolboy
Rowe with six-run attack in the
first inning yesterday and went on
to a 14-to-3 victory over Detroit,
with Pearson numbering the Tigers
going md coming.
He drove in four runs with q
homer and double to qualify for
"murderers' row." and in the mean.
time pitched three-hit ball against
the world champions.
After sending Rowe to the show
erS, the Yankees got five more
runs off Lawson in the fifth and
three in the sixth.
Every Yankee made at least one
Of the IA hits and scored one Or
more Of the IA runs.
The Tigers hitting for the day
was confined to two singles by AL
Simmons, who drove in all three
runs, and single by Gehringer.
In spite Of all that, the YanKS
did not gain anything in the fight
for league leadership with the Bos-
ton Red Sox, who remained a half
game in front by beating the st.
Louis Browns, 7 to 4. Marcum
pitched the win, his first of the
season.
Gleason, Trosky and VoSmik
.smacked homerS as part of Cleve-
lands 11-hit attack against the
Athletics, who lost by Z to l.
Johnny Allen. the ex-Yank, pitch
ed the victory.
Cubs Hold Lead
The Chicago Cubs remained in
front in the National League by
q half game over the Cardinals,
both leaders winning. The Cubs
made Is hits and beat the Bos-
ton Bees, 8 to 6. Demaree hit
homer for the winners, but Bax-
ter Jordan led hitters for both
teams with a homer, a double
and two singles.
Dizzy Dean pitched the Cards
to their victory over the Phils,
who lost on two errors that let
in the tying and winning scores
in a 3-to-2 battle.
George Earr1shaS, after previ-
Gus faulty starts, pitched a six
hit game for the Brooklyn
Dodgers and they won from the
Cincinnati Reds, S to 2.
The Pittsburgh Pirates came
from behind to tie the New York
Giants in the ninth, but lost the
game in the tenth, 6 to S.

MCLarnin Ready
For Canzoneri

NEW YORK, May Jimmy
McLarnin, the 2e-year-old baby
faced Irishman from Vancouver,
British Columbia, packed away
his training equipment today and
settled down for an undisturbed
rest until tomorrow night when
he will meet Tony Canzoneri,
world lightweight champion, in
Madison Square Garden.
"I'm in as good shape as /
ever was" the little veteran Of
more than q decade in the ring
said. He expects to weigh 145
pounds and hold an advantage of
eight or ten pounds over Can
zOneri, whose title is not at stake.
In nearby Marlborough, Can
zoneri tapered off today with
light calesthenics on his farm.
McLarnin has been established
as a 6 and Z to favorite because
of his weight advantage, but even
money by the time the fight starts
is predicted.
Canzoneri hackers are depend
ing on the 30-year-old champion
to outpunch McLarnin, who has
been idle since losing the welter
title back to Barney Ross nearly
a year ago. Canzoneri, meanwhile,
has boxed nearly monthly.
