Lou Gehrig, New York Yankee first
sacker, hopes to play in his 2,000th
consecutive game before the end OF
the month. It is just possible for
him to get in the needed seven games
unless he is injured or bad weather
interferes. Including yesterday, he
had played in 1894 games in row.
His streak, which began when he
replaced Wally Pipp as first base
man of the Yankees on June l. 1925,
is not his sole claim to fame. Always
a heavy hitter, even when pitcher
for Columbia University and first
baseman for Hartford, Conn, the iron
man of baseball is regarded as one
of the greatest sluggers of all time.
The terrific power he gets into his
swing. shown IN the above picture.
which was made at the Yankee
Stadium this season, has earned for
Gehrig a major league batting aver

which Bucky Harris team scored their

Zeke Bonura, the right-handed hit

went hitless in five trips to the plate,

AL Simmons, another right-handed

two hits. but they were singles and
did no particular damage.
If it had not been for Rick Ferrell,
Mills would have had an easy day.

Count Tied in Second.
The Senators got of to one-run
lead in the first when Mills lived up
to his reputation by wild-pitching
man over the plate. but Buster Mills
doubled and Cliff hit his second homer
of the year in the Brownie half. Rick
Ferrell's first double and Bluege's sin

Browns went ahead in their half on
McQuinns double, Heath's infield hit
and an infield grounder on which the
Senators turned a double play. AL

scored from first on Rick's second two

The score then remained tied until
the thirteenth, when Cliff opened with
q single to left, advanced on a sacri-
flee, took third on q wild pitch and
scored after McQuinns fly to Almada.
Monte Weaver retired for pinch

ris thought opportunity was knocking

SMALL FIELD DUE
FOR RAUTO CLASSIC
Motor Troubles Hit Many
Seeking Places in Big
May 80 Race.
BY the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.-The pos
sibility that a reduced field of cars
would face the starters flag in the
annual 500-mile Speedway race, May
80, was seen today as motors were
tuned for additional qualifying trials.
Plenty drivers were available-but
cars, able to stand the strain Of the
25-mile qualification test, seemed to
be scarce.
Regulations provide for a starting
field of 80 cars, but this year i'll luck,
in the form of mechanical difficulties,
has prevented a number Of mounts
from appearing for trials.
Petillo Has Car Trouble.
Nineteen cars, all of them with
"big-name drivers" have qualified.
Only Kelly Petillo Of Los Angeles,
Calf, a former winner. is missing.
Petillo dogged by mechanical trou-
bles. has failed to get a place in the
starting field in two of his allotted
three attempts in qualifying runs.
Harry Beeder, Eastern dirt track
champion and newcomer to the track,
skidded into a wall on the south turn
yesterday in qualifying attempt.
He was not hurt, but it was believed
the car, owned by Leon Duray, could
not be repaired in time for the race.
New Block for Winn's Racer.
Harry Miller, the race-car designer,
has three new mounts at the track.
He, too, is unable to get satisfactory
motor performance. Billy Winn, driver
of one of the cars, cracked q block in
a practice run yesterday. A new one
is being rushed from Pittsburgh.
Railbirds also predict that the race
this year will be a "two-in-one" af-
fair. They say the newer and faster
cars will turn the track in one group,
followed by section made up Of the
older and slower mounts.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Racing fans
can take heart. There's chance that
Seabiscuit and War Admiral may meet
after all.
Charles S. Howard. owner of the
Biscuit. announced yesterday he had
hopes of getting his horse ready for

cap at Belmont Park Saturday, and
the $4,000 Brooklyn Handicap at
Aqueduct June 25.
Its still too early to say definitely"
said Howard, "but if Seabiscuit rounds
into condition his next start will be in
the Massachusetts Handicap"
Howard plans to ship the entire
stable, including Seabiscuit, scratched
from his Memorial Day match race
with the Admiral, to Suffolk after the
close of Belmont's meeting next week.
The Biscuit will be given every
opportunity to regain his form at

LEADERS PRESSED
BYBOST0N'SD
Hubmen Score 4 Overtime
Wins in Last 7 Games.
Tribe Boosts Lead.
By SID FEDER,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
If some one can find out how Wis
iting team can win an extra-inning
game from the Bees in Boston he prob
ably could make himself nice piece
of change selling the secret to seven
other National League managers.
Casey Stengel's stingless outfit has
played four overtime engagements at
home in the last seven games and has
finished on top in each of them.
The Bees aren't hitting much harder
than the size of their shoes, as usual,
so they're relying on the aging arms
of their big four pitchers-Deacon
Danny MacFayden, Jim Turner, Lou
Fette and the 3l-year-old rookie, Milt
Shoffner. Added to that flinging
strength has been a lot of fight that
Prof. Stengel brought back to the big
leagues with him.
MacFayden Stops Reds.
The combination resulted in two vic
tories in IS innings against the Pitts
burgh Pirates on consecutive days, an
thinning decision over the Chicago
Cubs, and, as recently as yesterday, a
2-l win over the rude Cincinnati Reds
inanother thinning affair. In this
one MacFayden turned in seven
hitter to best Paul Derringer.
All told, the Bees, in third place,
have won nine of their last 10 games,
and have caused Bill Terry and Cholly
Grimm of the front-running Giants
and Cubs no end of anxious moments
The Cubs. spanked by the three-hit
pitching of Larry French, handed the
doddering Dodgers To setback,
stretching the Brooklyn losing streak
to five straight. French drove in the
final three runs with base-clearing
tWo-bagger.
Another hitting pitcher. Hal Schu-
macher, showed his stuff in the Giants
Cardinals game Prince Hal not only
hurled six-hit ball, but also produced
the winning tally with home-run
smash. The result was 81 victory
for the New Workers.
Tribe Adds to Lead.
Over in the American League, mean
time, Cleveland's red-hot Indians
gained full game on their nearest
rivals by knocking off the second-place
Boston Red SoX, Ga. on the strength
of four-run rally in the seventh.
The Yankees, staggering in third
place, continued to look far off form
as they dropped IA decision to the
Tigers, with four home runs, two each
hv Rudv York and Hank Creenberp
accounting for all the Detroit scores.
Rookie Howard Mills hurled 13 full
innings as the St. Louis Browns out
lasted the Nationals, 4-3. The White
Sox clouted three homers to topple
the Athletics, IA
Bucky Walters flve-hit pitching and
young Emmett Muellers homer gave
the Philles the best of a pitching duel
with the Pirates.

Bees Eunng Porer Givs Giants Cubs Anxious Moments
BROWNS BAFFLED
BY RICK FERRELL
Catcher Shines, Despite
Mats Defeat-Appleton
Has Fans Dizzy.

ST. LOUIS, May 26.-Even in de-
feat, Rick Ferrell demonstrated the
importance of catching as he per-
formed brilliantly behind the bat to
checkmate one Brownie rally after
another with his excellent throwing
and his keen diagnosis Of Brownie
strategy.
With Buster Mills on first and one
out in the third, Rick caught a hit
and-run sign, or guessed right. His
pitch-out helped him to nail Mills at
second by such a wide margin that
Buster stopped and died in run-up.
In the same inning Rick picked Kress
off first, but only two umpires were
working and Cal Hubbard was out
of position. And did Zeke Bonura
complain.
Rick put on a hit-andrun that
was about perfection in the Senators
fourth. Almada was running and
Rick whacked one against the left
field wall, easily scoring the fleet
footed Melo.
Beau Bell, in bad hitting slump,
covered a wide right field to prevent
several pop flies from falling safe
with the Brownie infield playing in
close. He took fluke hit away from
Bonura in the seventh after racing
in behind short for wind-blown pop
off Almada's bat in the sixth.
Appleton never fails to amaze the
fans with his trick wind-up, as he
plucks the ball from his glove during
the preliminary manual operation.
Jimmy De Shong. with record Of
two and two, will face Buck Newsom
in the final of the brief series.
After playing slovenly ball recently,
the Browns performed like champions
against the Senators, who incidentally
looked one of the best-balanced teams
in the league. All Harris has to have
is pitching and he will have what 1t
takes to be up there.
With the Browns in a slump, the
series opener attracted only 1,248 cash
customers.
Howard Mills was in the Navy when
the Browns found him and bought his
discharge. He was helping airplanes
land on airplane carriers.
