Today We not only have the Grit
men bathing New York's once prac-
tically tnyincible Yankees for clear
claim to b llrst-division berth. but
Also these records-five stolen bases
against the home club In one game
In Yankee Stadium and an even
break for the Washington club in
its tirst four games Of the season

Yankee followers, already upset by

by Philadelphia's Athletics. are be-
ginning to believe there are clubs
In the circuit other than Joe Nc
Carthy's band.
Pitching Rules Yankees, Too.
The Yankees themselves are be-
ginning to believe they are no bet
ter than their pitchers, too. No
longer are they confident Of their
power to crush anything they face.

day when there were two mates on
base failed to convince them they
still can step out at any time and
rout the opposition.
All that blow did was to make the
score fairly close in the 6-to-4 game
In which the Mats always held the
upper hand.
Credit for the amazing base steal
ing feat goes mainly to George
Myatt, who enjoyed q big day all
around. Myatt stole three Of the
bases-once getting home in a dual
theft with Joe Kuhel-and got four
hits, one q double, in -four legal
times at bat. He walked to first the
other time up.
In all, Myatt scored twice and
drove across two other runs.
But he wasn't Washington's whole
game by q long shot. The Mats
helped themselves to II hits, their
biggest splurge at bat since they
peppered the AS pitchers for Is In
the opening game Of the season in
Philadelphia II days ago. And they
were in command, 6 to l, up to the
time Crosetti, in his first appear
ance at the plate this year, hit his
homer.
Mickey Haefner went the route for
the Mats for his first victory Of the
year and as he turned back the club
that knocked him out in the fifth
inning to spoil the Washington
baseball inaugural a week before,
Mickey did all right. The Yanks
got nine hits OF him but they didn't
score until the sixth inning and six
of their hits came In the last two
rounds. It was cold in Yankee
Stadium and near-gale was blow
ing against the pitchers, so it was
excusable that Haefner tired toward
the fag end Of the engagement.
The Yanks had their scoring op.
