 New York, April 30-(UP)-The familiar cry, Stop the Yankees" again reverberates around the American league. The world cham pions have intact 8 winning streak of five games longest of the young season-and are setting a killing pace of .8S3.
 The Tanks old extra base power has been missing in early games, but they get runs just the same. In six games they have made only one homer (LazzerD and one triple (Selkirk).
 New York beat Washington yes- terday, 4-2, with only nine hits. They needed only hits, however, Their first run resulted from Pear sons single Crosetti's double and an infield out. Then walk, sac rifice, another walk, Rolfe's single and Roy Jonnson's double account ed for the other three.
 Monte Pearson let the Senators down with six hits yesterday fol- lowing on the heels of Lefty Gomez's five-hit game. In the past two games the Tanks pitchers have allowed only 3 runs and II hits.
 What may the Tanks do when they get their full strength if they can spread-eagle the field with patchwork lineup? Joe DiMaggio has yet to play a game. Lou Geh- rig is playing with a lame finger. Bill Dickey is struggling along on charley-horse. Red Ruf1ng is still 8 holdout.
 Lost But One
 The St. Louis Cardinals kept up their sizzling pace in the National league by winning their sixth game in seven starts, 8 6-1 victory over the luckless Cincinnati Reds. Lon Warneke registered his second Car dinal victory, keeping the Reds 8 hits scattered. The Cards made only five hits off Peaches Davis and Lloyd Moore, but three of them were triples by Medwick, Bordaga- ray and s. Martin and one a double by Medwdick.
 Pittsburgh held its place half a game behind the Cardinals by nos ing out the Chicago Cubs, 6--5, in 13 innings. Bill Lee, who relieved Clyde Shoun in the eighth, walked P. Waner, Dickshot and Arky Vaughan after Todd's single to force in the winning run. Manager Char lie Grimm was elected from the game for protesting Umpire Charlie Moran'S decision on Demaree in the eighth. Demaree tried to score on Hartnett's double and was called out with what would have been the winning run.
 Freddy Fitzsimmons held the Dodgers to five hits in pitching the Giants to a 90 victory over Brook lyn. Fitzsirnmons also hit single, double and homer.
