Different Hardwood Tree

There is a broadleaf tree, called
the ginkgo, which botanically is not
a hardwood. This tree has the dis
tinction of being the oldest remain
ing species of a prehistoric order of
trees. It is used as a street tree in
many cities. Most broad-leaf trees,
however, are hardwood.

Lifted into national prominence
on a string of "a sfutout innings,
olive-skinned Walter Masterson will
attempt to approach the records of
pitching wizards tonight when he
takes the mound at Griffith Stadium
against the Chicago White Sox,
against whom he launched his clus-
ter of circles.
Three runners have reached third
base against the towering right
handler over his span of scoreless
pitching, but on each occasion
Masterson eased out of difficulty and
he now is within hailing distance OF
marks established by Walter john
son and Carl Hubbell.
Hubbell holds the National League
record of 461s innings, set in 1888,
but looming as a formidable barrier

the 56-inning string of zeros COM
piled by johnson 81 years ago.
Suddenly Acquires Control.
The most improved pitcher in the
majors, with suddenly acquired con-
troll and the addition of a battling,
tantalizing slow curve, Masterson
has walked only two batters in his
last two games and over the entire
stretch has been forced to bear
down due to the Mats light run
production.
Masterson started his compilation
of goose eggs at Chicago in an 18-
inning affair won by the Mats, 10.
Walter travelled 16 innings in that
game, then followed with a stirring
10 victory over Hal Newhouser and
the Detroit Tigers. His last tri-
umph was 80, two-hit job against
the st. Louis Browns in which no
runner reached second base.
He'll be attempting to prolong
his succession of scoreless innings
against a team which has defeated
the Mats 8 times in 10 games and
against a pitcher, Ed Lopat, who
beat Washington in his only appear
ance against the Mats this season.
Chicago achieved its latest con-
quest of the Mats, 1916, with an

Taylor YawI Rounds

ABOARD U. S. s. POWER, June
24.-The Baruna, Henry Taylor's
72-foot yawl from New York City,
rounded Chesapeake light vessel to-
day at the head of fleet Of SO
yachts sailing to Annapolis from
Newport in the 466-mile ocean race,
Following close behind the Baruna
were De Coursey Fales' schooner
Nina from New York and the Naval
Academy schooner Highland Light.
A dying northerly wind, meanwhile,
threatened to slow down the fleet
again after the racers had been
given a new lift yesterday with a
smart easterly wind. Earlier today
it had appeared that the leaders
could be snugged down off Annapolis
Yacht Club by noon tomorrow.
One thing was pretty certain
aboard this destroyer-Baruna was
pretty close to taking the Commo-
dore Magruder Memorial Trophy for
the first yacht to finish.
Conditions have been good for the
smaller yachts comprising Glass B.
Frank Greenman's sloop Alsumar
of Annapolis and Arlington, Donald
Patterson's cutter Elda from Gibson
Island, and c. w. B. Whites little
cutter White Mist from Mystic,
Conn, were among leaders in their
class yesterday.
Unless it blows up, a B class yacht
might come through with the best
corrected time to take the Blue
Water Bowl, top prize for the race.
Because of light airs the first two
days, Baruna's average speed over
the course up to pm. yesterday
was only 46 knots. The fresh breeze
from the east may have saved the
race from equalling last years snail
pace to Bermuda, and get other

Tanned Tigers Miss Greenbere More Every Day
Tenth Straight Setback
Is Only Three Shy Of
1o2OLosing Streak
BY Joe Reiehler
A..oeio,.d pr..sspor,s Write,

Currently closer to the cellar than
they are to the top, loyal Detroit
followers couldn't help but ponder
whether their clawless Tigers
wouldn't be in a higher position
today if they still had last years
American League home run king,
Hank Greenberg.
Not that Big Hank is making
National League pitchers run for
cover. He is nowhere near his 1885,
1910 form when he clouted four-bag-
gers on an average or nearly one
every three days.
But even the l947 edition of Green
berg has hammered IL home runs
and driven in 80 runs. With Pat
Mullin, their early season sensation.
slumping to below the 800 mark. no
one on the Tigers can match Green
berg's figures. And with July and
August around the corner, Green
berg, a warm weather addict, figures
to improve on those figures the way
he did last year when he wound
up to finish with A home runs and
LIT runs batted in.
Tigers Lose 10th Straight.
A year ago today, Greenberg had
clouted 16 home runs for the Tigers,
almost half Detroit's entire total
of IS this season. That was the big
reason-besides the brilliant pitch
ing of Hal Newhouser-why the
Tigers were in third place, four full
games ahead of this years fifth place
pace.
Newhouser hasn't been as effec-
tive this year, but 1t is doubtful II
he would have dropped four shutout
decisions, as he already has. with
Greenberg's bat behind him. In the
eight defeats suffered by Newhouser,
his mates have been able to get only
nine runs for him. That means
that only shutout pitching could
have turned most of those defeats
into victories.
The faltering Tigers could put to-
gether only two runs on six hits
yesterday as they went down to
their 10th straight defeat when the
Boston Red Sox walloped them 81
at Fenway Park behind Denny Gale
house, their recent acquisition from
the st. Louis Browns.
Red Sox Continue Pace.
The defeat left the Bengals only
three behind their worst losing
streak in American League history.
The 1920 Tigers dropped Is straight
that year to wind up seventh, their
lowest finish ever. No Tiger team
ever wound up in the cellar.
The victory enabled the second
place Red Sox to remain two games
behind the front-running New York
Yankees, who defeated the Cleve-
land Indians 8-5 at the Yankee
Stadium.
Tommy Henrich's double with the
bases loaded drove IN three Yankee
runs and broke up a SIS tie in the
eighth inning. A three-run homer
by Les Fleming had given the In
dians Az lead in the fourth.
Cards Trounce Braves.
With Enos Slaughter hitting a
three run homer while batting in
four runs and Terry Moore getting
two hits in his first two times at bat
to extend his hitting streak to nine
straight, the red-hot st. Louis Car
