The New York Yankees seem
to win their remnants by break
ing the hearts as well as the
backs of their rivals.
This year the Chicago White
Sox were supposed 20 lie one of
these rivals, but the Sox couldn't
get going and they languished in
the American League ce ] r
while the other clubs drew away
from them.
Then Chicago started winning
and pieced together surprising
streak of seven games to get out
of the dark for one fleeting day
- until the Yanks blew into
town and burst the bubble.
ONE-RUN YANKS
Yesterday the Sox sent out to
the mound a chunky southpaw
named Ed Smith, who hadn't
won a game this year and had
been beaten five times. Smith
| pitched well, held the world
champions to one run, and still
they beat him.
It was Smiths misfortune to
have to match his 0-5 record
against the SO star of the Yam
kee hurting corps, Ernest (Tiny)
Bonham, the big highlander
who promptly pitched his fourth
shutout and sixth victory OF the
season.
The 10 score was determined
in the fourth inning when Smith
walked Buddy Rosar with the
bases loaded to force in a run.
Bonham allowed only three
hits, two of them bunts, and
all in the first three innings.
He issued only one walk
his fifth in six games. The
huge star now has allowed
only one run In his last So
innings.
There was good pitching in
all the days other games, too.
Sid Hudson pitched SIX hit
ball to lead the Washington Sen
ators to a So verdict over the
st. Louis Browns although his
teammates almost sabotaged the
job with six errors. A two-run
homer by Bob EStalella in the
fifth helped to take the pres
sure off him and clinched de-
feat for Bob Muncrief, one of
last years better curriers' VINO
now has not won since opening
day. Muncrief and frank Bis
can gave only seven safeties.
ATHLETICS WHIP TIGERS
Phil Marchildon, looming as
one of the seasons finest fling
ers, held the Detroit Tigers 10
six hits as the Philadelphia Attn
letics hammered three pitchers
for II blows and on 11-3 tri-
umph that lifted the AS into
fifth place. 1t was Marchildon' s
sixth win. Lou Blair led the
attack with a grandslam homer
in the fifth and a double and
single.
Rookie Tex Hughson pitched
seventh ball for the Boston
Red Sox against the Cleveland
Indians and Ted Williams drove
In four runs, two of them on his
ninth home run of the season,
for an 8-3 victory.
This knocked the Indians back
full game from first place,
with which they had flirt e d
earlier in the week while the
Yankees were idle.
Only one game in the Ma
tional League escaped the
weather and in this the Phila-
delphia Pills nosed out the Gin
cinnati Reds 3-2 as 81 Johnson
bested Paul Derringer in hurl-
ing duel. Johnson held the Red
legs TO six hits, one a mer by
Eddie Joost. Derringer, w h o
suffered his second defeat with
out a win yet this year, was
tapped for seven and the tail
enders made them timely.
In the fifth a single by Lloyd
Waner, triple by Danny Lit
whiler and a single by Al Clos
sop provided two runs and in
the eighth Nick Etten tripled
and Litwhiler brought him home
with a single
