strongest man in this department

officially, the former White SoX

winter period that he did not have
ball TO toss around and to keep
himself in shape. Frank would play
any place on the team just TO De

base-any one of them is good
enough for him.
When he returned to San Jose
in the California state league tins
spring his hitting began to PICK
up and he has been chopping the
ball at a 300 clip.
In Fridays game against the Los
Angeles Angels, Frank pounded out
two singles in three times up and
scored one OF the Padres runs.
We like the way Roy Robertson
throws himself into his art while
umpiring a B league softban game.
The vim and yigor with which he
exerts himself is a pleasure to the
eye. At least the batter knows
whether he's safe or out when Roy
calls them, as well as the center
fielder against the wall $50 feet
from home plate. Roy's resonant
voice echoes and vibrates through
out the park as he calls the balls
and strikes. Nice work, Roy.
Although the Yankee western
trip turned out almost disastrously
for them in the standings as they
dropped nine out of IA, the bank
roll of the club owners wasn't hurt.

YANkS ON TOP AT
FOURTH, THANKS
T02FORGOTTENS

NEW YORK, July 4. UP)-A
baseball tradition is that the team
that leads the league on July 4 will
play in the World series in Septem-
Der. The New York Yankees-no
matter what happens in their dou-
bleheader with the pressing
Boston Red Sox today, will lead the
American league at sundown and
their thanks should go to a pair Of
almost-forgotten> frankie Gro
setti and Spud Chandler.
The YankS were in dire trouble
yesterday when they pulled into
Boston for a three-game set. Man
ager Joe Cronin had hustled his
team to within three games of the
pace-setting champions and a clean
sweep would have meant tie for
the lead. But excitable, bird voiced
CroSetti ano easy-golng Chandler
combined to defeat the Red Sox,
5-3, and increase the Yanks' first
place margin to four games.
HITS A PAIR
Frisco Frankie hammered out two
hits and drove in two all-important
runs.
Chandler registered his ninth VIC
tory and limited the Red Sox to
eight hits. He famed six and walked
three.
Young Hal NeWhouSer, Detroit'S
mound contribution to the all-star
game, hurled the Tigers three e-hit,
ST., triumph over the Cleveland In
dians last night.
Walt Masterson let the AS down
with five hits and pitched Washing
ton SO triumph over Philadelphia
in another night game.
Brooklyn added a full game to
its National league lead by beating
the PhilS, 81, while the Pittsburgh
Pirates kayoed the runner-up st.
Louis Cardinals, 5-4.
Pittsburgh pummeled HoWie Krist
for the winning runs in the eighth.
A walk to Elbie Fletcher, singles by
Bob Elliott and Jim Wasdell and
a double by Vince DiMaggio &C
counted for the runs. Fletcher and
DiMaggio homered for the Pirates.
The New York Giants outSlugged
the Boston Braves to win free
hitting contest, 1916. Mel OFT hit
his 18th homer with one on and
Johnny Mize followed suit with No.
13, both in the first inning.

a little mental exercise, how about
a nice strenuous game of checkers?
Mrs. Kendall will be in charge of
the proceedings at the park on
Seventh and Park streets and will
be ably assisted by a number OF
subordinates.
Later on, the program will be
elaborated to include softball, horse
