t939 BasebaIlers Show No Mercy in Attack
 on Records
By The AP Feature Service

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Those New York Yankees have made it a re- cord year for big league record -mak- ing.
 They've pounded the ball around in a manner showing no respect at all for marks of old and venerable standing, and their most recent dis play of audacious powerhousing tied record that had been good for ga years.
 That was the 2l-0 massacre of the Philadelphia Athletics, the most merciless beating administered a major league club since the Detroit Tigers did the same thing to the Cleveland Indians in 1901.
 The Tanks haven't been alone in the assault upon records. A few other clubs have figured in it col- lectively and individually, but Mc- Carthy's crew leads the way.
 Philadelphia Victim Again
 A few examples:
 They pounded hapless Philadel- phia hurlerS June 28 for eight homers in one game to break a seven-homer record they had shared with four other clubs The old mark was first made in 1886. Their five homers in the other half of a doubleheader that day added up to

WIRT GOING TO
 TURN LECTURER
 FOR N0RTHLAND
Newsman of Juneau 10 Drop Pencil for Time
 Being-Going South

Declaring that Alaskas future would be in jeopardy as long as the people of America considered it glorified ice cave, Sherwood Wirt Juneau newsman, today announced his plan to spend the winter lec- turing on the north country in the States.
 Americans are just as ignorant on the subject of Alaska today as they were in 1867 when they named 1t Stewards Icebox," he said. Its time for them to listen to some one who isn't a blubber- eating Arctic explorer or a hello-and- -skidoo trav- el writer.
 The story of Alaska is fascinat- ing enough to capture the imagina- ton of any audience in the nation, if it is painted in it's true colors. And, when run out of paints, I'll use Kodachrome.'
 Wirt intends to show colored mo- tion pictures in connection with his lectures, which will be given before church, school and fraternal groups in the Middle West. He is leaving tonight on the Mount Mckinley for Seward and Matanuska Valley to fill a journalistic assignment and obtain movies, and expects to return here in a couple of weeks, before proceeding south.
 Wirt has lived in the Territory for four years and has travelled through it as far north as the Arctic Circle, making the Yukon River trip in rowboat for 1000 miles last summer.
 T am sorry to be leaving Ju- neau," he said, but am maintain ing my residence in Alaska and hope to be back next summer with boat load of educated tourists, who won't have to inquire whether Mendenhall Glacier was caused by a PWA dam or froze to death in a cold winter.

All signs from an A m c r n League view point to an early fall for the opponents of the Yankees. They squelched the Brownies of St.. Louis in a doubleheader yesterday and this must have convinced doubters that the McCarthymen are planning to stage the same mercl- less finish they did last year.
 Switch About
 Boston lost the second straight game yesterday dropping Chicago ward. ten and one-half games be- hind the Yankees.
 At this rate the Yankees will clinch the title before the so-called crucial series.
 Here's Situation
 The Browns and Philadelphia are already mathematically eliminated from the race Washington will join the is-outs with one more loss. Sundra pitched eight hit ball while his teammates got IT hits in the first game. Gomez pitched a three-hitter in the nightcap.

 This 175-pound halfback, play ing with Atmore high against Grove Hill, threw 29 passes and completed 27 of them. Tn the first half he threw 20 passes right hand ed to an end named Kettles and connected every time. On one of these passes, good for 72 yards m the air, Williams hurt his right arm. So, in the second half, ne started pitching with his left and completed seven out of nine.

a new record of l3 circuit blows in a double feature.
 They tied a major league record by scoring in every inning against St. Louis July 26.
 Individually. Lou Cehrig's 2,l30- game consecutive playing streak - established when he retired this summer stands as the greatest mark but Rookie Richard Alley Donald broke an old first-year pitching record by winning his first 12 games. Harry Krause of the Philadelphia Athletics won 10 in 1909.
 Di Maggie, SelkirK and Dahlgren teamed up to tic a major league record June 28 by hitting home runs in succession in the same inning. Ben Chapman, Trosky. and Heath of Cleveland had done the same thing three days before.
 The Tanks tied one record on the unusual side. playing an en- tire game July IA against Detroit in which they scored only one as- sist, that by Gordon Crosetti had the only assist in a game in 1894.
 Outside Contributions
 Record accomplishments from other clubs included:
 New York Giants, with five home runs in one inning against Cincin- natl. broke a four-homer record sct by Pittsburgh in 1894. Cincinnati tied a record with four consecutive doubleheader triumphs, the last coming on July 30
 Jim Tabor, Boston Red Sox rookie, tied two major league records by hitting four home runs in double header and hitting two home runs with the bases filled during a single game.
 Ben Chapman of Cleveland rapped out three triples in a game to tie a major league record, and Marvin Owen of the Chicago White Sox tied one with four doubles in one game.
 Brooklyn entered the record lists in typical daffy fashion-the Dodg- CT outfield went through game with the Pirates July Is without making a single putout or assist.

 Stated in geographical terms this itinerary means that the flight involves many feats which. although not unprecedented, will test capaci- ty for a long g-continued flight dem- onstration under an extraordinary variety of transport conditions.

 The first section of the journey outlined means a flight up near the top of the world, where Nome, Al aska, already has served as 8 guide-post to several aviators bound to or from the Orient. The trip down the west coast of Nortf America to San Diego involves nc great hazards or difficulties, anc there are well-charted course! across the continent to New York.
 The Central and South American points of call are all on regularly established airline points. The trans. Andean crossing from Santiago tt Mendoza, Argentina, involves higf altitude flying, and since the Japa. nese aviators are not familiar witt the the crossing of the Cordillera this accomplishment will be req feat.
