TWIR[ERS KEEPING
CHAMP MP|0NSATT TOP
Only One Homer, One Triple
Hit in Streak-GiantS
Bombard Dodgers.
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Don't look now, but something queer
Is going on in the Bronx base ball
business-Champio Inc, Of the dia-
mond world.
The famous clouting circus, New
York's Yankees, who cracked about
every long-distance record in sight last
year and averaged better than q homer
a game, isn't hitting hard enough TO
dent cream puff, so far as extra base
blows are concerned
The Yanks have produced in six
tits just one lone home run, "pooshed
up" several days ago by Tony Lazzeri.
and single triple.
And the queerest thing about the
whole business is that the team keeps
right on winning ball games! Despite
Lou Gehrig's ailing hand and the abb
sence on Tonsil-less Joe Di Maggie,
their winning streak is the longest Of
the young season-five straight.
Yanks Hurting Surprises.
MAYBE (and this is only being
whispered as yeti the victories
are coming because the lightly-regard-
ed Yankee pitching is fooling the boys.
Rated, as usual, as the weak spot, the
fingers have been ace high in recent
days, despite the absence of hold
out Charley Ruffing. In their last
three starts, they've allowed the enemy
IT hits and 4 runs in 27 innings.
The Bronx base ball faithful are in
even more of dither over the antics
Of their other representative in the
diamond wars, the Giants. Bill Ter

putting the burden on their pitchers,
and in recent days have emphasized
that habit with a profound batting

him. Griffith can block such
move II he holds the big fellow
in any esteem at all. Incident
ally, our Yankee informant had
good word for Walter.
Nobody seems to know how good
Brown really is" he said. THE Yanks
don't use him enough. He probably
isn't a great pitcher but he'd do a
club like Washington more good than,
say, a kid like Lanahan, who ought to
be pitching every four days for some
minor league club"
Sooner or later, depending upon how
many games they can play in a row
without postponements, Washington's s
hitters are going to get started. OF
this nearly everybody is certain. There
are too many established 300 hitters
in the lineup for really weak Of
fensive. But the pitchers, now that
formal competition is well under way,
show no such promise and potenti-
alities.

MONROE, La, April 30.-The
Lake Charles base ball club
Of the Evangeline League had
good snake story, but it must pay
a fine just the same for riding an
umpire.
The club climbed to the roof of
its dugout in unit Tuesday night
and from that vantage point
heckled the umpire in the game
with Lafayette.S
The arbiter ordered the team
back into the sdugout. With no
response, he imposed the fine.
The Lake Charles manager
called League President J. Walter
Morris to explain:
There were three snakes down
in that dugout," he said. You
couldn't expect ball team to sit
in dugout of snakes"
Morris said it was a good story,
but not quite good enough.

firmly entrenched in the American
League cellar than ever, the Griffs,

Following a final fling at the
Yankees today Manager Bucky Harris
will lead his downtrodden band to
Philadelphia for two-day stand and
thence into the West, where Washing
ton ball clubs are not in the habit of
winning.
If there is any genuine cause for
felicitation at this moment the bou-
quets belong to Monte Weaver.
Whether the spindly ex-professor can
hold up is question. but thus far
Monte definitely has proven that he is
the most capable pitcher on the club,
hollow as this may be as distinction.
This, too, in the face of the Griffs'
latest setback, Al defeat charged

cidentally, the fifth defeat in a row

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-- Secretary of State COrdell Hull this afternoon announced that official reports confirm ed that Japanese surface vessels machine gunned the United States gunbOat Panay after that craft was bombed last Sunday by Japanese naval fliers, and then sunk.
 Secretary Hull further said that the official advices also confirm previous unpublished reports that before the Panay sank, two Japanese Army motorboats approached the ship and machine gunned it land that some Japanese boarded the Panay and re- mained aboard about five minutes although the Ameri- can c0lors were flying and were clearly discernible.
 The Secretary of State said the information makes the Panay incident more serious than appeared at first.
 Secretary Hull said the in- formation was transmitted to American Ambassador Grew at Tokyo for presentation to the Japanese Foreign office in the form of representations supplementing facts already set forth in the United States Governments formal note of protest to the bombing and sinking of the Panay.
 The attack by machine gun ners was given out in press re- ports and confirmed also by survivors of the Panay who have arrived at Shanghai.

SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT

TOKYO, Dec. 16.-Foreign Min ister Koki Hirota announced at the Japanese Cabinet and Council today that the Foreign Ministry is trying to devise satisfactory settlement on the Panay incident, and that both the United States and Great Britain are apparently showing more signs of understanding a most unhappy incident than previously and likewise public opinion in the respective countries seems more fav- orable toward Japan"
 The Navy Ministry also announce ed that company of Bluejackets has been detailed to honor the yic- tims of the bombing of the Panay at the spot where they were killed
 A formal Naval salute is an un- precedented gesture, the authorities said, the highest possible voluntary tribute of one nation to another.
