Threatening to wipe Babe Ruth's
record Of go home runs in one
season from the books, Hank
Greenberg, slugging first baseman
Of the Detroit Tigers, today pos
sessed IS four-sackers after one of
the most amazing hitting sprees
in baseball annals.
Greenberg, who at present is
one home run ahead of the Bam.
bino's record pace Of 1927, cul.
minated a week of terrific clout-
ing by getting his thirty-fourth
and thirty-fifth homers which
made seven homers in one week
as the Tigers defeated the Phila.
delphia Athletics yesterday, 9 to 2.
GREAT WEEK
It was against the same Ath-
letics that Greenberg started his
streak last Sunday with a homer
with the bases loaded. Then on
Tuesday and Wednesday, he tied
the major league record by get
ting four successive home runs
against the Washington Senators.
In addition to two circuit clouts
yesterday, Hank connected with a
healthy double, driving in four
runs for a total Of 73, which
places him right UP among the
leaders.
AS the Tigers triumphed behind
Eldon ANker's eight-hit pitching,
Charley Gehringer contributed his
twelfth home run.
The league-leading New York
Yankees maintained their one
game lead, pulling out a 4-to-3 vic.
tory over the Chicago White Sox
by getting two in the ninth on
two singles, a walk and an error.
Lefty Gomez hurled his ninth
victory.
ALLEN, TOO!
In the only other American
League contest, Johnny Allen
held the Senators to eight hits
and hit a three-run homer and a
double to give the Cleveland In
dians a 12-to-4 decision. Hal
TroSky hit two homers for the
Tribe and Buddy Lewis hit one
for the Senators.
The Pittsburgh Pirates remained
five games out in front Of the
National League, taking 7-to-6
win from the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Bucs scored their winning
run in the eighth on Pep Young's
double and Lee Handley's single.
Cookie Lavagetto hit a three-run
homer for the Dodgers to tie the
count at sail in the fourth.
Gus Mancuso's single drove in
the winning tally in the ninth
inning as the New York Giants
turned back the Cincinnati Reds,
