The Indians next hit came
with one down in the eighth,
when Pinch-hitter Hank Foiles
singled to center. Their other
hit was Dave Pope's single to
left with two out in the ninth.
Vernon tied the score at ii
in the fourth when he slammed
his seventh homer into the right
field seats. After Vernon walked
to start the seventh, Sievers
belted his sixth homer over the
leftfield fence to give the Sena-
tors their first triumph here
since August Is, 1853. Washing
ton had dropped IA successive
games in Municipal Stadium.
Sievers has been sought by the
White Sox and perhaps that rare
display of muscle will stir more
chatter between Frank Lane,
Chicago general manager, and
Washington officials.
After losing a 80 decision to
Cleveland April 26, McDermott
has allowed the Indians only one
run in Is innings, whipping them,
80 and 81. His win last night

SANTEE WINS IN 4O12
First Three Americans
Better 4:O2 in Mile

Belgian Castor Reiff holds the
world mark Of 8:40.4.
Ashenfelter, winner of the
8, ,000-meter steeplechase in the
1882 Olympics, had predicted he
would crack the American mark
If conditions were right.
The weather was good and the
track near perfect. Bob McMil-
len ran the first mile in 4::23,
with Ashenfelter right on his
heels. Then the FBI man took
off and ran the final lap in 63.6.
AShenfelter was named OUT
standing athlete of the meet.
For half of Santee's race it
appeared he had his best chance
of eclipsing four minutes. Pace
setter Jim Terrill was clocked
in 2 minutes fiat, with Santee
just one second behind after
laps of SO and 81 seconds.
But then Terrill begged down.
Dwyer realized it and made q
move late in the third lap, but
the damage was done. Santee
was right with Dwyer as the
final lap started, but the time
was 3:04.

Horace Ashenfelter, the flying

It was a thrilling finish, but
o 63-second third lap was too
much for Santee to overcome in
his latest bid to become the first
American to beat the 4-minute

CLEVELAND, June 4.-Maury
McDermott. Mickey Vernon and
Roy Sieyers, principal figures in
the Senators recent trade dis
cussions with three clubs, seem
to have supplied some accelera-
ton for proposed deals with
their heroics in last nights 81

Hank Greenberg, Cleveland gen.

where. Vernon later contributed
a home run and a tainted single
to the Senators meager six-hit
attack against Bob Lemon and
Don Mossi, but if Greenberg
was impressed he concealed it.
Colavito Sought
Greenbefg and Dresser may be
throwing up smokescreen, but
it isn't likely. The Senators have
been insisting on young players
in general and Rocky Colavito,
slugging outfielder hitting 1925
with indianapolis, in particular.
Colavito is rated by Greenberg
as one of the future stars of the
game and Hank is unwilling to
part with him.
A bit brighter are the Wash
ington hopes of doing business
with the Yankees. Bill Dewitt,
assistant general manager of the
New York club, repeatedly OBJ
served McDermott last night
when he restricted the Indians
to three hits.
McDermott seldom has been
sharper. He was 1icked for the
Indians lone run in the first
inning when Bobby Avila walked
and AL Rosen sent a long fly to
right field. Carlos Paula played
the ball as if it was contaminated

making a belated lunge for the
ball 3 feet in front of the

STANTON, Del, June 4.-Only
eight 3-year-olds have re-
sponded to the lure Of the $25,-I
00O-added Kent Stakes, which
will be run for the 18th time at
Delaware Park this afternoon.
Nine were entered overnight,
but Mrs. John R. H. Thouron'sI
Fast and Far, one of the choices,
was scratched this morning.
Leap Tide, with 108 pounds, will
represent Mrs. Thouron.
Indicating the thin quality OF
the 3-year-old crop except
for Nashua, Swaps and Saratoga,
there is not a distinguished colt
in the field.
The likely favorite is William
Ewing's Alibhai Lashes, who won
a mile race in 1865 at Belmont
Park last week. The son OF
IAlinhai will be ridden by Willie
Hartack, and that won't help
his price any.
High weight of the field is
Roslyn's Farms Go Lightly, who
earned the dubious distinction
10y his victory in the Gotham
Stakes at Jamaica. Go Lightly
finished a distant last in the
IPreakness last. Saturday, but
should be much closer today.
The son of Faultless will be rid
den by Joe Culmone. who is a
hot rider at Delaware Park so
far.
Most notable absentee in to-
days Kent is the Montpelier
Stables Saratoga. who ran such
a gallant second to Nashua in
the Preakness. It is understood
that Trainer Frank Bonsal had
entered the colt early yesterday,
but Withdrew the colt to await
next Saturdays richer Leonard
Richards Stakes. The Leonard
Richards will gross $4,000 or
more.
Trainer Bonsal viii not take
the afternoon off, however, as
he will saddle Breckenridge
Longs Westward Ho. Nick Shuk
will ride Westward Ho, who fin
Iished fifth in the Suffolk al"
last week.
James F. Edwards Craigwood,
second to Commonwealth in the
I"2l," also will be well backed
by the weekend throng. Logan
IBatcheller will ride Craigwood.
Others trying for the money
are Barclay Stables Blazing

Stenge|' 'sFears
Confirmed as
Yanks Get JOLT
White Sox Tighten
Race as Hurshmun
HuIts New Workers
BY the Associated Press

Apparently Casey Stengel
knew what he was talking about
when he declared recently that
the honeymoon was about over
for his Yankees.
The grizzled New York man.
ager made the remark in a few
thousand words after the Yam
KEGS, who had fattened up on
the Eastern second division
clubs and then on the Athletics,
had left the friendly confines
of Kansas City's Municipal Sta
dium and headed for Chicago'sI
Comiskey Park, home of the
Pesky White Sox.
The Yankees wee riding high
on q record of 10 victories -
20 games. including IA out of
Is against their favorite SPAR
ring partnership Senators,
Orioles and Athletics. And their.
record since leaving home stood
lat I'll.
But last night they arrived
at Comiskey Park, where STEM
Igel predicted the trouble would
start. It did with the White
Sox winning, 80, before a crowd
of 10000. behind the hitting and
pitching of Jack Harshman.
Since the Cleveland Indians were
unable to take advantage of the
Yanks' setback, losing, 81, to
Washington on Maury McDer-
motifs three-hitter. The top of
the standings tightened.
White Sox Near Second
Three games still separate the
Yanks and Indians, but the
White Sox now are only a half
game out of second place.
Harshman, a former first
baseman who turned pitcher, had
la hand in all three of the Chi
cago runs last night. He set up
the first one on a single after
Johnny Groth had walked in the
second inning. Nellie Fox singled
Groth home.
Harshman drove in the second
run with a single off Bob Turley
in the fourth and accounted for
the winning run on a sacrifice fly
in the sixth. 1t was the fireball-
ing Turkeys third defeat in II
starts.
Harshman pitched a crafty
game in giving up nine hits and
two home runs. It was his first
triumph over the Yankees after
suffering four losses to them last
season.
The Yankees couldn't connect
with men on base as they scored
their two runs on homers by Bill
Skowron and Mickey Mantle.
In other American League
games. Detroit defeated the
Orioles, To, as Ned Carver won
his first game in more than three
weeks and the Athletics edged
the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, on Will
mer Shantz' 2-run homer.

Himself After

they approached their home it was
stated that he had a minor acci-
dent with the car and his wife
jumped out and started back a.
cross the field to the truck stop.
He then seized a 20 gauge shotgun
and fired at her. His aim was bad
and after missing her he turned
the gun on himself and died in
stantly.
