The reason Billy Myers was out

was that Eddie Joost made only
one error in 81 games at short

that every round was just another

Butcher HurlS Pirates
To 81 Win Over Reds
Five-Hit Pitching Plus Mates
Eight-Hit Attack Gives
Pittsburgh Victory

PITTSBURGH, May % -R-
Holding the Cincinnati Reds to five
hits, big Max Butcher rang up his
first win of the season today as
the Pittsburgh Pirates hammered
cut an eight hit attack to score a
5 to 2 victory.
1t was the first time this year
the last place BUGS have beaten
the National league champions.
With Arky Vaughan and Elbie
Fletcher leading the way with two
hits apiece, the BUGS got six hits
off Junior Thompson and two off
Jack Hutchings who relieved
Thompson in the sixth inning.
Vaughan scored the first Pirate
run in the second inning, racing
home as Johnny Rizzo made a
poor throw to the plate on Maurice
Van Robay's long fly.
Vaughan opened the fourth with
a triple with the bases empty, then
romped home on Fletcher's single.
Frankie Cuisine raped out a dou-
bic to score Fletcher. Cuisine
brought in the third run when Vir-
gil Davis hoisted a high fly to
Frey.
The BUGS got another run in the
eighth on a squeeze play. Cuisine
laid down a perfect bunt enabling
Fletcher to scamper home.
The Reds scored in the fourth
frame after Bill Werber doubled.
Mccormick walked and Ernie
lombard bounced into a double
play as Werber went to t h r d.
Rizzo was passed and then Harry
Craft beat out a slow bounding
single to Jeep Handley, scoring
Werber.
Werber blasted out a homer in
the eighth for the Reds other
counter.
The Pirates played tight ball be-
hind Butchers pitching, their lone
error being a harmless tumble by
Vaughan. Rizzo and Bill Myers
were credited with two errors for

Dual Victory Sends New York
Into First Division; Bill
Dickey Gets Homer

NEW YORK, May 2S.-R-Bat-
ting up the hill toward the first
division, the world champion Yam
KEGS snatched both ends of a dou-
bleheader from the Washington
Senators today, II to 4 and 8 to /,
for a record of six victories in
their last seven starts.
The first tussle was a slugging
adventure with the Yanks collect
ing IA hits and the Senators -
while the nightcap was a tight
pitching duel between Rookie Mar
vim Breuer of New York and little
Rene Monteagudo, Washington's
Cuban southpaw.
Breuer gave up only seven scat
tered hits in obtaining his fourth
victory and the only run scored
against him was a homer by Buddy
Lewis in the fourth.
Monteagudo permitted nine hits
and baked with the bases loaded
in the first to let il New York's
initial run. A fly let in another in
the same inning and in the third a
single by Joe DiMaggio, a double
by Bill Dickey and a fly accounted
for the final run.
Dickey, who has been in a slump
most of the spring, took a big hand
in deciding the first game-along
with Joe Gordon. Dickey hit a
home run with two on and a single
with two on, getting credit for four
runs batted in. Gordon hit his
fourth homer and two doubles.
Each team scored a run in the
first, but the Yankees sewed up
the victory with four runs off Joe
Haynes in the second on two dou-
bles, a wild pitch, a hit batsmen
and three singles. Sid Hudson took
over for the Senators and finished,
but couldn't stop the Yankee slug
gers.
Marius Russo opened on the
mound for New York and got cred
it for the victory. Although shelled
hard, he kept out of serious trouble
until the eighth. when a double,
three singles and a walk gave
Washington its last two runs and
brought Fireman Johnny Murphy
hurrying to the rescue.

% CARS TO START
In RACE THURSDAY
Starting Lineup For 2Sth In
dianapolis Event Includes
81 American Drivers

INDIANAPOLIS, May 2S.-G)-
| Thirty-one American drivers, one
Argentine and a Frenchman with
a damaged car will make up the
starting field Thursday for the 2Sth
running of the 500-mile race at
the indianapolis motor speedway.
The French entry is the Italian
Maserati driven by Rene Lebegue,
a French soldier.
The car threw a piston arm
through the crankshaft this morn
ing.
Bernard Musnik, manager of the
French team, first said the car
could lot be repaired. Then he said
it could be repaired. A third state
mert was that it would be possible
to transfer to Lebegue's car the
motor used in the one driven by
Rene Dreyfus, eliminated today by
qaalifiers with superior speed.
Musnik declared Lebegue's car
will be repaired in time for the
race" He said Lebegue will start
the ear" and that Dreyfus would
serve as alternate driver"
T%hirty-six cars qualified for the
classic but three of them, includ-
ing Dreyfus' machine, were crowd
ed out today by entries making
faster qualifying speeds. Only 80
cars may start.
Others eliminated were those
driven by Louis Durant of Her.
rington, Kans., and Tony Whitman
of Milwaukee.
Billy Devore of st. John, Kans.,
and Floyd Davis of Springfield,
ILL.,, won starting places today. Will
man eliminated Durant and then,
in turn, was knocked out by Davis.
Devore, driving the same car in
which Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis
won the 1887 race, showed the best
time today. He ran his 10 miles at
122.179 miles an hour. Davis speed
was 120.797 miles an hour. Whitman
turned his 10 miles at 1884 miles
an hour. His first two laps were
at approximately 1913 miles an
hour but motor trouble slowed him
to lis on each of the next two
turns of the oval.
The average qualifying speed for
the SO starters was slightly under
1928 miles an ~hour-slower than the
1886 average a year ago.,

New Crosstown Bus Line
Investigation Is Ordered

A new investigation of a proposed
crosstown bus line to run from
Westmoreland Circle to Bladensburg
road NE. has been ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission in re-
Spouse to renewed demands by
citizens associations for establish
ment of such a service.
A public hearing is expected to be
scheduled in January or February.
The proposal was considered by
the commission more than a year
ago. While final action was deferred,
the commission ordered an extension
of bus service in the Northwest area,
between Westmoreland Circle and
the Bureau of Standards, which was
considered then as a possible link in
the crosstown line.
1t has been suggested also that
the Park road bus, which runs from
Klingle and Adams Mill road NV.
to ~ltholic University and the
M oe street line might be used,
in part, as other links in cross
town service.
When the proposal was considered
at earlier hearings, officials of the
Capital Transit Co. doubted whether
there would be sufficient patronage
to pay expenses under conditions
than existing, suggesting delay.

1000 Poinsettias
On Display in Show
Al Botanic Gardens
Steviu Serrutu and
CycIumen Also Can Be
Seen at Exhibition

After an official inspection by
members of the Joint Committee
on the Library, the big Christmas
flower show of Congress opened in
the Botanic Gardens Yesterday with
a record breaking firSt-day attend
ance.
There are more than 10000 poin-
settia blooms in the show, on more
than 1000 plants attractively ar
ranged with a background of large
bay trees and palms in the east and
west display chambers and along
the main corridor. These plants
we're especially grown for height
this year so that the visitors could
more conveniently examine the
blooms and the large red petals
without the use of pedestals and
staging. Many of the plants are
upwards of 6 feet in height. Also
in the main corridor are $50 plants
of stevia serrata, with a dainty,
sweet-Smelling bloom which are an
added feature of the show.
Through cooperation with the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
and the railroads, William A. Fred
erick, director of the show, has
arranged for at least 20 excursions
from the Eastern States to visit
the poinSettia display in the ex-
hibition conservatory on First
street between Maryland and indie
pendence avenues at the foot of
Capitol Hill.
A committee from the Washing
ton Florists Club which visited the
show yesterday told Mr.. Frederick
that it is the finest display of poin-
settias they have ever seen.
David Lynn, architect of the Capt.
tol. who is custodian of the Botanic
Gardens for Congress, said that
from now on there will be a series
of flower shows, as the plant ma
terial comes into bloom, and that
the azalea display this season will
be much larger and with a wider
variety of blooms than ever before.
In addition to the poinsettia dis
play. there is a showing of cycla-
men in the growing houses and an
enlarged collection in the orchid
house, with a number of unusual
blooms
The poinsettia show will be open
daily from 9 am. until pm. and
on Saturday from to II. 1t will
be open to the public until after
New Year-just as long as the
blooms continue in good condition.
1t will not be open Christmas Day.
