NEW TANKS ARE ALREADY PROVEN TEAM TO BEAT
Won l9 of Last "A Games Red SOx Hold Runner=
 Up Spot
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, May 20-(UP)-The Yankees were roaring along the pennant trail today at such speed that the American League race promises to be a joke by July 4.
 The Red Sox, playing .714 per- cent baseball, which would be good enough to lead the National League by two full games, are in second place by 2 1-2 games. By a quirk of the schedule, the Tanks and Red Sox play only three games against one another before July 1 and by that time the race may be over.
 Yankee dominance of the Amer ican League was never greater. They've lost but five games out of "A. They won nine straight and IA of their last 16. And they are 8 rebuilt ball club. The old Tanks have passed on, or nearly so. The new Tanks are beginning to make their presence felt. The decline of Gehrig and the injury which bench ed Di Maggie only served to show that the Tanks are better equipped for the future than any other club. In yesterdays triumph over the White Sox, Az, three Yankees Keller, Gallagher and Dahlgren- were first-year men. Gordon is playing his second year, and Hen rich his third.
 Few Double Plays
 The new Tanks have all the old time Yankee punch and have added speed and defensive strength. There's only one slow man on the Yanks-Bill Dickey and he's a left handler who hits line drives. It's getting harder every day to pull a doutse play against the Tanks. They've hit into only IS, fewer than any other club.
 Not forgetting the Tanks punch they lead the league in batting with .294; in runs with 156; in tri- pies with 12; in homers with 23; in runs batted in with 146.
 In the other American League games, the Red Sox slaughtered the Browns, 15-7; Cleveland capitalized on five Washington errors to lick the Senators, 8-4; and the Athletics climbed out of the cellar by bump ing the Tigers, 11-6.
 Cincinnati climbed within .009 points of the National League lead by nosing out the Phillies, 4-3, after 12-inning uphill battle. Ernie Lombardi hit his second home run in two days and his fifth of the season to win the game. The league leading Cards were idle.
 Nice Work
 The Giants beat the Cubs, 11-5, as Harry Gumbert won his fourth game. Billy Jurges' single with the bases loaded stad three hits by Frank Demaree aided the Giants cause. Hank Leiber had 8 for g..
 Tapping Rip Sewell out of the box in the second, the Boston Bees piled up five runs in the first two frames to defeat Pittsburgh, 5-2. Dick Erickson relieved Lou Fette and held the Pirates safe in the last 6 2-3 innings.

United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 20. tUP)-Do you speak polo?
 Few persons do.
 To most of us such expressions as on-side, near side, chukker and 1ree hit are just something we occasion ally see on the horsey pages of the newspapers or run across in an old COY of Spur in the dentists office.
 AS a result, little attention has been paid to the fact that when America meets England for the in- ternational polo cup at Meadow brook next month, out side will con- sist of four 10-goal players. This is really a remarkable Set-up, be- cause when Mike Phipps, Cecil Smith, Tommy Hitchcock and Stew art Iglehart ride out it will be the first time in the history of the game any country has ever f1elded a team that, judged by polo standards, is perfect.
 Ten Goals "TOpS"
 The first ranking polo player gets is one goal AS he improves he is raised to two goals, then three goals, and so on. Ten goals is the limit, and you don't need many more fingers than you have on your hands to count all the men in all the world who have reached that status.
 So you see, that is truly an astounding side that will gallop out for us at Meadowbrook June 4. Hitchcock, MT. Polo" himself, who first rode against the British as long ago as 1921. Iglehart and PhippS, the eastern youngsters who were born to the saddle, and Smith, blue-eyed cowhand from Texas who'll ride right on through you if you don't make way.
 To fully appreciate what the Eng fish players are up against, one must translate polo into other sports. Take tennis, for example. If the United States were to field a Davis Cup team theoretically as strong as the combination of Phipps, Smith, Hitchcock, and Iglehart, it would be composed of Bill Tilden, Ellsworth Vines, Don Budge and Little Bill Johnston.
 Comparison
 In boxing four British heavy weights, to face a task equal in size to that of their polo players, would battle with, say, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmons.
 The English, however, are not downhearted. The sun never sets on English polo enthusiasm, it would seem. They feel they have a good chance to lift the trophy for the first time in almost a decade.
 Before you ask why in the name Of goodness they can have such optimism I'll tell you-ponies. Uh huh, ponies, no matter how good a polo player man is, he cannot do much without proper mount. The British combed the empire for the best polo ponies-and got them. They have ponies from Australia, India, and other far-fiung outposts.
 They are counting on the ponies to be so much superior to the American mounts, the man-power will be equalized.
 It won't however. The American side will win in straight-uh-uh- what is the polo word?-Oh yes, heats.

and two from Glasgow Celtic, are reported in tip-top shape for their first real test of the invasion against a selected team of the American Soccer League, including half a dozen veterans of international competition.
 Won Exhibition
 They had a minor game in Mon treal last Tuesday, the third day after their arrival from Glasgow, outclassing a selected Canadian pro- vincial eleven, go, but tomorrow's struggle under the brow of Coogan's Bluff will formally inaugurate their tour which will take them into a dozen cities of the U. S., Canada and British Columbia. They are re- turning, after their coast-to-coast swing, to New York for second game at the, Polo grounds on June 18-this time against the pick of the U. s. Football association, the uni- versal team sports national govern ing body here.
 The traditional parade around the field tomorrow will be colorful, led by the Dangenham Girls Pipe Band and Dancers which is one of the attractions of the Merrie Eng land exhibit at the fair.
 The Scots leave New York for Detroit on Monday and tomorrow's contest, which promises to be one of the finest exhibitions of the sport ever staged on this side of the At lantic, will be played regardless of weather conditions. The invaders represent $4O,000 worth of playing talent, at the current rate of trans fer fees, and experts class them as the foremost foreign team ever to come here.
 At 2 o'clock the eastern final of the national junior challenge cup competition, in which the Baltimore Apaches clash with Bayonne Rang CTS, will get under way as cur tain-raiser to the feature contest. Probable lineup:

 This Weeks Results
 Leavenworth 9, Wilby 2.
 Crosby 13, Sacred Heart 0.
 The standing shows Leavenworth with two wins, but there is still the matter of that replay of the first game with Crosby in which Tech used an ineligible player.
 Crosby vs. Wilby! The long stand- ing rivalry between the two schools will no doubt crop up in this con- test and provide some interesting action.
 Jack Manherz's lads produced the first shutout of the season by blank ing Sacred Heart high 13 to 0.
 After allowing the Hearts only one hit the previous week, Wilby got a dose of their own medicine last Monday night when Mike Thompson and Lefty Heaton yielded but one bingle to the Wildcat Cubs.
 Sacred Heart has lost two games. The Wolcott street pupils are now going through that stage of school athletics which Wilby and Leaven- worth underwent. Crosby once ruled the roost in high school sports. Wilby and Leavenworth were the weak sisters. In recent years, how ever, the Wildcats and Techmen have been coming along nicely to provide a more even-Steven argu- ment in all branches of sport. Watch Sacred Heart in few years!
 Rev. John Dial, principal of Sacred Heart high and Coach Johnny Sheehy, deserve lot of credit for their work with the boys of the Catholic school.
 Charley Gerace of the league ar- bitrating staff knows the game from A to 2. Gerace attended a big league umpiring school last season, and 1t is quite noticeable in his work. He and Shorty" Guglielmo are proving themselves worthy of the confidence placed in them by the league officials.
