 New York, April 22.-(UP).-It's the same old story with the world champion Yankees-too much home run oomph!
 Two games, two victories. Homers have won both of them. Bill Dickey's homer was sufficient to win the opener from the Boston Red Sox and yestreday Joe Dimaggio and Joe Gallagher, the broth of an Irish boy who has stepped into Yankee job with minimum of fam fare, clouted a pair of round trip- pers to submerge the Senators, 6-3.
 Trailing 3-1 the Tanks manufac- tured five runs quickly on two homers, and Left Gomez did the rest. Crossetti singled and then Dimaggio poled his home. Gehrig and Dickey walked and Gallagher bounced a drive off the distant left field fence in Griffith stadium, Washington, and circled the bases. That was enough for Joe Krakaus- kas, 8 lefthanded Yankee nemesis of year ago.
 Vice-President Garner, Post master General Farley and many senators were in the throng of 31,- 900, one of the largest in Washing ton history. The other five openers yesterday brought the days total att tendance to 1O3,373, making total of 286,755 for the 16 games played thus far. Seventeen games have been postponed and it's been touch and go between raidnrops and chilly blasts. The St. Louis Browns are still at the post, trying to unveil their 20-game horse, Buck Newsom, against somebody.
 The Chicago Cubs finally got away yesterday. Home runs by Joe Marty and Stanley Hack were the damaging blows as they downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2. Big Bill Lee. rapped for Il hits, was effec- tive in the clutches. Those stories about the seriousness of Dick Bar- tells rheumatic joints seemed a trife far-fetched as "Rowdy Dick" played shortstop for the Cubs.
 National League pace-setters are none other than the Boston Bees, who gave the Giants 10-3 shel- lacking in the Polo grounds opener. The Bees have won three straight. Weakest offensive team in the ma jors last year, the Bees slaughter ed Melton, Wittig and Coffman for 13 hits as Danny MacFayden blank ed the Giants for eight rounds. In the ninth he weakened, and John Lanning had to get the last man out.
 Brooklyn and the Phillies went Il innings to a 2-2 draw. Vito Tamulis allowed the Phils only five hits but walked in a run in the eighth, and Glen Gabrielson's single drove in Philadelphia's tying run in the ninth.
 The outstanding pitching per- formance of the infant season was by Bob Teller, who struck out 10 men, pitching Cleveland to a 5-1 victory over Detroit in the Indians opener. Teller allowed only three hits, two of them by the Tigers brilliant rookie center fielder, Bar- ney McCoSkey, who his Q homer and a single. Teller had great control, walking only two.
 Jim Bagby, one of last years brightest freshmen, pitched the Bos- ton Red Sox to a 9-2 win over the Philadelphia Athletics. He gave up only five hits, one of the ma homer by Frank Hayes with 8 man on. Roger Cramer's base-clearing dou- ble and Joe Cronin's single and double ledt the Red Sox attack. Roy Parmelee, one-time wild man of the National League, started for the As but disclosed that year in minors did him no good. He walked five, hit 8 batter and uncorked a wlDd pitch in six frames. Connie Mack got him out of there before he con- pleted the circuit with a balk.
