Mosterson, Hoefner,

By. Burton Howkins

The Mats were considering it
moral victory when they hoisted
ball out of the infield yesterday at
Griffith Stadium. They got three
scratch singles of Spud Chandler
and the result was 80 triumph
for the Yankees, who moved into
first place without bothering to
shift gears.
Washington never made contest
of it. The Mats advanced only one
performer to second base against
Chandler, who was registering his
second shoutout and third win of
the season, and only one of Wash
ihgton's hits was untainted.
Sherry Robertson slammed Chan
dlers first pitch of the game
through the box for single which
Second Baseman Joe Gordon
knocked down. The Mats then re-
manned hitless until Cecil Travis
thumped a liner off Chambers
glove with two out in the seventh.
George Binks' meek tap with two
out in the ninth, in fielding which
Chandler fell down, rounded out
the Mats hitting for the afternoon
Early Alone Reaches Second.
With one out in the third, Jake
Early was granted the dubious dis
tinction of becoming the only Nat
to reach second. He was safe when
Catcher Aaron Robinson dropped
his pop fly in front of the plate and
shifted to second on Walter Mas
terson's sacrifice before Robertson
fouled out.
Some 1885 chilly customers saw
the Yankees produce two runs of
Masterson in the first inning and
coast to victory behind Chambers
superb pitching. 1t marked the first
time this season the Mats had been
BANKED and was Chambers second
win over the Mats, who suffered a
6-1 beating from him previously.
With one out in the first inning,
George Stirnweiss walked, moved to
third on Tommy Henrich's single to
left and scored as Jerry Priddy FUN
bled Joe Di Maggio's hard grounder
Heinrich took third and Di Maggie
continued to second on the muff
and the bases were loaded when
Charley Keller purposely was passed.
Nick Etten brought Heinrich across
before Masterson refilled the bases
by walking Gordon, but Robinson
grounded out.
A walk to Stirnweiss and a lusty
Heinrich triple off the right field
fence netted another New York run
In the second inning and the
Yankees blasted Masterson for two
runs in the fifth as Keller. Etten
Gordon and Robinson singled sue
cessively with two out.
Gordon Wallops Homer.
Mickey Haefner was clipped for
four consecutive singles by Di Mag
gio, Keller, Etten and Gordon in the
seventh, which boosted the Yankees
into a TO lead. That situation ex-
isted until the ninth, when Keller
greeted Marino Pieretti with a triple
high off the right field fence and
scored as Gordon whaled a home
run into the left field bleachers.
Gordon's homer was the 10th swat
ted this year at Griffith Stadium
where only seven were hit all last
season.
The Yankees, who took over the
top spot as Boston was rained out,
mustered II hits as Keller and
Gordon collected three each.
Gil Coan, minor league sensation
last season with Chattanooga, made
his major league debut in the eighth
inning when he batted for Haefner
and grounded to Gordon.

Give Browns Victory
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 27.-Vern Ste
phens combined his hitting with the
shutout pitching of Sam Zoldak to-
day as the Browns defeated the Chi
cago White Sox, 20.
Zoldak, making his first start for
st. Louis, stopped Chicago with,
three hits.
Stephens put st. Louis in front in
the fourth inning when he smashed
one of Orval Groves pitches into
the left field stands. In the sixth,
after Al Zarilla had tripled, he
singled to drive in the second run.

But all things must have an end and 1t was reported today that Oc- car, who travelled aboard the Can adian ship under the assumed name of Midnight Son, is now ln custody of Federal authorities on charges of violation of the Jones Act and travelling under an as- sumed name.
 Story in the Daily Alaska Elm pire, which brought fame to Os- ear, Wrangelrs travelling crow. ap- peared as follows:
 "The crew of the Princess Louise sailed away from the Juneau dock Saturday with heavy hearts and many a backward look
 It seems they had lost a very. important passenger. He embarked at Wrangell without a reservation. and he left the ship at Juneau without reason or caws.
 He was Midnight Son., the residential crow from Wrangen.
 When Midnight Som boarded the ship, the Princess crew was definitely surprised. For years he has screamed raucous epithets at ships arriving in Wrangel's port. He has denounced townspeople and tourists alike. He has stolen orange peelings, whistles, bits of paper, children's rag dolls and even once, it is said, the Mayors cigar. But he has never before demanded pas sage on a ship Evidently he is most discerning crow.
 'The men aboard the Louise were just a trifle flattered. Some how being selected the one ship out of all others landing at Wran- gell was distinction of sorts. They thought possibly it proved something favorable about CPRI ships So when Midnight Son flew amidst the rigging, they let him stay. (Not a man aboard will ad- init it, but getting a twO-fOoted off a boat is undoubted- ly easier than removing a two winged one.)
 "The pompous and rather aloof visitor said nothing about his plans, but the Louise crew accepted him as a round-trip guest. When he departed just before the gang plank was down in Juneau, there was much agitation aboard the Princess.
 He really wasn't a bad guy said one officer aboard the ship. And I don't think the nennla in Wrangell will like our putting him ashore in Juneau
