dinals may have given the Cincin.
natl Reds a close chase in the Ma
tional league last year, but even the
most ardent st. Louis fan had to
admit 1910 seems to be another year.
The champion Reds topped off
their 1875 victory over the Cardinals
yesterday by sweeping a double
header today in equally convincing
manner, 7 to 1 and 10 to 4.
It's true the Cardinals had some
what of a makeshift lineup on the
field, both Terry Moore and Martin
Marion being out with Injuries, but
they had first-line pitchers firing
the ball at the Reds-and the Reds
were firing the ball back for long
hits.
Ival Goodman smashed a home run
in the first inning of the opening
game, and three Cincinnati players
Frank Mccormick, Lonnie Frey
and Harry Craft-came through
with circuit clouts in the nightcap.
The Cardinals fell apart on the
defense, making a total of seven
errors. At bat, they were consistent,
scoring a for every four hits.
Four singles were all they were able
to make off Paul Derringer in the
opener, while in the second game
they pounded Jim Turner for 16
hits but couldn't group them to
score more than four runs.
Bill MCGEE started the first game
for the Cardinals and Lon Warneke
the second, but neither was around
at the finish. Having the starting
pitcher knocked out is nothing new
for the Cards. They have had only
two complete games so far this sea-
son.

Big Highlander Allows But
Six Hits For 40 Victory;
Southpaw Jinx Broken

NEW YORK, May 12.- Up The
world champion New York Yankees
got back in the groove today, after
losing eight straight games, and
shut out the Boston Red Sox 40 on
the six-hit hurting of big Red Ruff
fling.
Operating with perfect support,
Ruffing easily earned his second vic
tory against two defeats, striking
out eight, walking only two and
never letting a Boston runner get
past second base. He even made
two hits and a run himself.
1t was the first loss in seven
games for the American league lead
ers and their first shutout this sea-
son, but the shaken up Yankee line
up never gave them a chance. Twice
double plays wiped out threats.
The game was won in the third in
ming when an error by Joe Cronin
and singles by Bill Knickerbocker,
Red Rolfe and Joe DiMaggio ac-
counted for two runs.
In the seventh inning Ruffing
doubled and loped home on a two

eighth Joe Gordon doubled, Ruffing
beat out a hit to Cronin and Doc
Cramer dropped Knickerbocker's fly
to let Gordon score.
The victory. charged against Fritz
Cstermueller, snapped a long streak
of ill luck against left-handed pitch
ing for the champions. Every man
in the New York lineup except
Buddy Rosar and Babe Dahlgren hit
safely at least once as the Yanks
accumulated nine hits.
Joe DiMaggio, after singing home
a run in the third, was passed pur-
posely his next two times at bat,
but each time Rosar, who followed,
ended the inning.
Among Rulings strikeout victims
were Jimmie Foxx and Johnny Pea

North Carolina and Richmond base
ball teams, each with Z perfect c
ord in Southern conference play this
season, aimed for further victories
this week in the hope of winning the
conference title now held by Duke.
The Tar Heels have ten wins and
no defeats, a record better by one
victory than that of the Richmond
Spiders, but they have several
games remaining this season, while
Richmond has only one barrier to
hurdle before closing out it's con
ference season. Duke, practically
out of the running in defense of it's
title, may yet upset the conference
leading Tar Heels this week and
spoil North Cardinals perfect record.
Clemson, although dropping a

kept its third place rating. Wake
Forest added two victories last week
to its win column to remain in

plenty of persons with whom he is
not so popular but even those have
to admit that the Jersey Nightstick
has beer about the only lively look

SO bad Max Baer in a fight that Will

Louis-Godoy affair. His appearance
here Thursday night will be among
his last before going in for what
serious training he ever does for a

Tony is that he talks a good fight
and maybe he'll do some tall talking
here this week.

A North Carolina delegation, head
ed by Senator Josiah W. Bailey, has
been assured by President Roose-
welt that he will visit Eastern North
Carolina on a fishing expedition this
summer, with Vice-President Garner
ACCOMPANYING him.
The announcement leads the Wins
ton-Salem Journal to comment: I'VE
have an idea that Mr.. Roosevelt will
long remember this venture as a
highly delightful one. The fishing
off the North Carolina banks ranks
with the best in the world, and u
patriotic Tar Heel fish will bite free
ly for His Excellency, we are sure.
All this should make some very
good advertisement for the Carolina
fishing grounds. And we only hope
that European affairs along with a
third term and all that sort of thing
don't keep him away.
