Pitching Duties
Assigned Today
To Rookie Sima
Will Oppose Reynolds
Byrne's String Of
Eight Victories Ends
BY Burton Howkins
Sfor Stcf Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 28.-Bucky
Harris has a measure of revenge
today, with his Mats holding a
80 edge over the Yankees who
dismissed him two years ago. and
a big factor is the conduct OF
Eddie Yost, New York youngster
whose apprenticeship with Wash
ington has ceased.
1t was Mickey Vernon who sup
piled 3-run twelfth inning homer
to project the Mats to 4-3 victory
over the Yankees here last night
before 1927, but it was Yost who
provided an eighth inning home
run which locked the score at IL
and it was Eddie. too, who touched
off Washington's winning rally
with his first triple of the year.
After three full seasons with the
Mats, the 23-year -old Yost has
been converted from a crude semi
pro into polished product who
apparently faces a brilliant future
He's a .313 hitter at the moment,
leading the Mats, in home runs,
doubles and runs scored.
Byrne's String Snapped.
Yost. who came to the Mats as
l7-year-old graduate of New
York semipro ranks, has bios
somed as a respected batter after
hitting .238, .249 and .253 the last
three seasons. He slammed nine
homers last year, already has
matched that output this season.
Yost and Vernon collaborated in
dealing Tommy Byrne his first
defeat in two months, swapping a
string of eight successive triumphs
to give the Mats a 81 record at
Yankee Stadium. That's a COM
paratively spectacular achieve
ment for the Mats, who in three
previous years won only five games
and lost % here.
The Mats bumped the Yankees
Az games off the pace of The
league leading Detroit Tigers.
The Yankees, who have lost
six of their last seven games,
were to- send Allie Reynolds
against Washington today and
Harris gambled on a long shot.
He employed AL Sima. fresh from
Chattanooga as his starting
pitcher.
Sima pronounced Seema), is a
27 year old Hungarian -Slavish
left-hander who won eight games
and lost five for Chattanooga for
one of his better marks in an
undistinguished minor league
career. He joined the Mats yes
terday and was given a hasty
introduction to major league base
ball when Harris named him to
work today.
Sima Served with Seabees.
Sima previously saw service with
Bristol, Va; Jacksonville, Rich
mond, Jersey City and Minneapo-
lis, serving as a reliever with the
latter two clubs last year before
clicking as a starter with Chat
tanooga.
The bespectacled Sima, who
served as a stevedore with the
SeabeeS at Tinian and Okinawa,
was to make his major league de-
but % miles from his home town,
MahWah, N. j. He turned down
an offer from Cincinnati. when he
was II, refusing to abandon other
high school sports, then was
signed by the New York Giants
while pitching for a semipro club
at Mahwah.
The Yankees gave the Mats nu-
merouS nervous moments before
absorbing defeat last night. after
Yost tripled, Merrill Combs walked
and Vernon rammed his homer
into the Yankee bullpen in right

a $l2,500 campaign loan was from

The report. filed yesterday, now
shows Maryland's new Republican
Senator received the money from
c. E. Tuttle and Arthur C. Lev
ering and not from the Mercantile

The bank denied the loan, for

SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 9.-The in
vasion of Korea by Chinese Com.
munist forces of close to one mil.
lion men has thrown Korea's civil
population into turmoil.
United Nations authorities esti-
mated 80 to 80 per cent of the
civilian population in North Korea
l-5.6 million to 63 million-were
fleeing southwark in advance OF
the Chinese Reds.
The economic subcommittee of
the United Nations Commission
for Uniflcation and Rehabilitation
of Korea in making this estimate
pointed out that only 20 per cent
of the population moved out when
U. N. forces were advancing north
South of the 38th Parallel
another great exodus is under
way. The people of Seoul recall
their bitter experience during
three months of Red occupation
last summer.
Carrying babies on their backs
and bundles on their heads, wom-
en-, old men and many children
are seeking refuge from the new
Communist invasion.
They are walking south by the
thousands. Others, more fortu-
nate, are using every means avail
able for f1ight-oXcarts, pushcarts
even a few trucks. They are TAX
ing only necessities. Many per-
sonal possessions are left behind.
In the north, an 9th Army
spokesman said, civilians are be-
ing driven out of areas already oc-
cupied by the Chinese armies. But
! the bulk Of the displaced are
