Heinrich SWdts
Yankees Into
First Place

NEW YORK, May 17.-That
long overdue bad dues from the
New York Yankees apparently had
arrived today for the rest Of the
American League clubs.
After floundering around for
nearly a month while fettered
with injuries and an epidemic Of
batting slumpS, the Yanks finally
have crashed through to league
leadership.
The old standbyS are not hitting
as they might be and some ailing
members Of the squad still haven't
recovered, but, with that good for
tune characteristic Of the cham
pions, they've found another star
to carry on in lieu Of the missing
dynamiters. He's young Tom Hen
rich. Moreover, they already are
getting some pitching from Red
Ruffing.
Those two combined yesterday
to knock the Philadelphia Ath-
letics out of the league lead with
an 8-to4 victory before the biggest
crowd that ever saw a baseball
game in the Quaker City. The
turnout was just short Of $4,000,
and got a run for its money, al
though the Yanks provided it.
Sent To Newark
Heinrich, a broad.backed out
fielder from Ohio via Milwaukee,
who was freed from the Cleveland
Indians by Commissioner Lands,
personally picked the Yanks as the
club he wanted to play with soon
after the start Of this season-and
promptly after singing up was sent
to the Newark farm.
However, the trading Of Roy
johnson and the loss Of Jake
Powell through an appendicitis
operation created shortage Of fly
chaserS and he was called to the
big show. He's been playing like a
man inspired. In four starts he
has garnerned a homer, two
triples, a double and three singles
to virtually win two games single
handed.
He contributed the four-baser.
one triple and one single yeSter-
day when the AS were knocked
off the top, and Ruffing, making
his first start after that long hold
out, pitched the victory, although
he failed to finish. He allowed
five hits and walked five. going
into the ninth.
Pirates Continue

man earning his fifth victory Of

win Of the season, and the Dodgers

He crossed the narrow. weed grown
road slowly, with backward glance
at the sunny old wall and the children
at play in the vacant lot. In the first
house on the opposite side, Eric Grim-
lev came to the door. Hostilely he re-
garded the intruder and demanded,
Well what do YOU want?'
The stranger asked his question
somewhat timidly. Eric replied with
sharp No" Then weak voice from
the interior of the house called, What
does he want, Eric? 1t isn't the doctor,
is it,"
"You hear that?' the young man
asked. That's my wife. She's going
to have baby any day now. and how
I'll pay the doctor or buy food for the

honestly. Once, in similar situation,

his old fashioned bag and began turn

Grimley, looking down, saw that
these apparently consisted of night
clothes and one or two books. Grimley
went on, You think want my kid
to grow up in Tombey Street with
those ragged brats on that rubbish
heap?"
Still bent above his bag, the stranger
spoke: Il wonder where the boy Lin

bank note IN his hand, the stranger
was walking across the little patch of
weedy grass to the next house.
He passed that house and the two
succeeding ones without pauslng.
YEARLY, almost with an air of guilt,
he continued to walk, beneath the
tipsy sign and across the wide, we'll
paved city street. Soon another bus
stopped and swallowed HIM Up.
Yet, before he passed from the sight
OF Tombey Street forever, the strange
chain of events which his coming set in
motion began happening, for Miss
Barbara Hudson, carrying a sickle,
emerged from her door and started to
attack the weeds that choked her
small front yard.
-Four years later block party was
held in Tombey Street. A platform
had been erected against the wall at
the end of the street. Gay lanterns
hung along both sides of the roadway.
The houses all showed lights in their
windows. Even the street sign, newly
painted white letters on blue back
ground, partook of the festive IL
Elimination - someone had hung a
lantern on one end of the sign.
Tombey Street: The qualntest street
in Wildmore. The street that artists
came to paint and writers came to
write about. The street with the lovely
communal garden. The street which,
tonight. the mayor and the president
of the local Women's Civic Better
ment Association were honoring by
their presence.
The mayor spoke first. He stood on
the raised platform with his back to
the brick wall and looked down upon
the lot where Tombey Street had once
thrown its rubbish. but where, now,
the people of the street raised flowers.
Roses and pansies and spicy pinks like
miniature carnations and sweet peas
and great bell-shaped petunias were
indistinct in the dusk. but all the air
was sweetened by their presence.
He said he was proud of Tombey
Street and even prouder of its people.
In a period of great economic distress
when many other sections had fallen
into disrepair, this street had seemed
to take a new lease on life 1t was not
that much money had been spent
there Indeed. no one in Tombey Street
had much money to spend. But time
and effort had been spent and had
brought marvellous transformation.
He was delighted with what had been
done, And frankly" he added. I'D
like to know how it all started. We
might be able to work the same scheme
in other parts of the city"
He sat down amid a polite surge of
laughter and applause, and the presi-
dent of the Women's Civic Better
ment Association rose and said that
she was glad to give the mayor the
information he asked for

years ago. when economic conditions
were at their worst, these two public
spirited ladies decided that the morale
of their tenants might be upheld by
united effort to improve the condition
of their own street. Miss Barbara
Hudson has told me-" she added play
fully. "of the small beginnings of the
-er - may one say movements? One
morning Miss Barbara simply went
out with her garden sickle and began
cutting her own lawn. 1t occurred to
her that Tombey Street, with its old
brick wall and its quaint old houses
was too precious monument to be
lost. So - she stirred up interest in
sort of community house cleaning, I'd
like to suggest to other communities
that they follow the splendid example
of our friends here . -
She was off on her favorite topic.
When she had finished and the guests
of honor had departed, the crowd laid
aside their company manners and
began to talk naturally among them
selves. Children, who played in the
garden by day, resumed their games
in the shadowed paths A babel of
voices rose toward the darkening sky,
Young Doctor Miller, encountering
MIR. and Mrs Eric Grimley, paused to
chat with them. What did you think
of the mayors speech?' he asked.
Eric Grimley laughed. Good enough
speech, but why didn't somebody tell
the truth about how all this started?'
What do you mean?"
why, Miss Barbara and her sister
used to sit inside that house and never
show up until they came to collect the
rents - and not pleasant word out
of them then What brought her out to
cut her weeds and talk to the rest of
us was nothing more than plain female
curiosity - because she wanted to
know what the man wanted who came
through the street that day"
"Female curiosity?" said little Mrs.
Grimley. Eric, I'm ashamed of you.

Young Doctor Miller said absently,

wasn't, save in an indirect way, think

thinking of himself and how that par

Moon Mountain Changes
Call for Explanation

Washington.-While astronomical
findings indicate that the moon is
lifeless and, indeed, probably with
out an atmosphere, there are some
matters of lunar topography that
need more explanation. Appearing
in the magazine Popular Astrono-
my, published by Goodel Observa-
tory of Carleton college, are draw
ings made of mountains on the
moon which show changed mark
ings from time to time that must
be attributed to something-haze,
melting snow, or jets of steam.
Pico, an 5000 foot peak on the
moon, was the mountain chosen for
study by G.. W. Rawstron, amateur
astronomer of liverpool, England.
Some 40 drawings of the mountain,
made with a four-inch diameter
telescope, show that light and dark
areas on the lunar mountains vary
from time to time.

FLOOD RELIEF GIFT
HONORS ROOSEVELT
Officers and Crew of U. S. S. In
dianapolis Donate $500 as Token
of Esteem for President.

The officers and crew of the cruiser
o. S. s. Indianapolis, aboard which
President Roosevelt recently made his
South American trip, have donated
$500 to the American Red Cross for
the flood sufferers. as a special token
of high esteem for Commander in
Chief Roosevelt, the Navy Department
yesterday announced.
Capt. H. K. Hewitt, commanding
the indianapolis, wrote the Chic. Ex-
ecutive that since the return of the
Indianapolis from South America. the
officers and men of that vessel have
given much thought to the selection
of suitable memento which it was
their unanimous desire to present to
you as a token of the hig esteem
which they hold for their Commander
in Chief. and to show their appre-
citation of the honor of being chosen
to fly your flag on such monentous
cruise"
Because of the widespread suffer-
ing, occasioned by the floods, the cap
tain said, the officers and crew de-
cided that, instead of purchasing "a
material symbol of their respect and
admiration" they wished to increase
their contribution to the Red Cross.
