The Philadelphia Athletics, wide- ly-heralded_as the only team in the American League capable of giving Huggins’ murderous hitters a run for their money, fell twice before the champions bats at Philadelphia yesterday. The Yankees now hold a three to one edge in the first four engagements of .. six-game “cru- cial” series. Lou Gehrig's eighth home run of the season with two on the paths in the sixth enabled the champions to turn back Howard Ehmke and the Athletics in the opener, 4 to 2. Herb Pennock, southpaw ace, held the tribe of McGillicuddy to seven scattered hits. Ruth Gets Two Homers The nightcap was a rout fcr the Philadelphians, who suffered a 9 to 2 beating. Babe Ruth hit his fifteenth and sixteenth home runs of the season while “Jumping Joe” Dugan also smashed out two. Rube PARSHALL, 1-0 Strong Northwest Club Re- ceives Setback, at Hands of ‘Big Boy’ Peterson Sanish, N. D., May 26.—Big Boy form and let the strong Parshall team down with three hits, the San- ish Club winning a seven inning game 1 to 0. This is “Big Boy's” has shown opposing teams that he is going to be hard to beat anytime during the remainder of the season. Bill Drake, the Parshall mounds- man, was working well but the San- ish hitters gathered six blows off his delivery, three in the sixth which netted them the one run that won the battle. The only time that Peterson was in danger was in the first inning, | when errors by Jerde and Peterson and a hit by Cronin filled the bases. Then Peterson settled down and| gave the fans a real treat by strik- ing out the next three men in or- der. The game went scoreless rntil the sixth when Jerde started the inn- | ing with a hit and was forced out at second on Drakes roller to short. | Hungate, the next man up hit a hot to third. Then Anderson brought in the winning run with a neat single over sccond. Hungate was called out at the plate trying to score. 8 Wild Rose Sanish_ will meet the Club at Sanish Sunday.

Philadelphia retained its leader- ship in fielding with a percentage of .980 although it dropped three points during the week. Boston was Yanks third with .972.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Cambridge, Mass. May 26.—It’s an old saying with the Yankees that ‘As Ruth goes, so goes the team.” Eric Krenz, 22-year-old Babe Ruth of track and field sports, seems to wield a similar influence upon Leland Stanford’s mighty team, favorite today to romp off with the fifty-second inter-collegiate A. A. A. A. championships for the second straight year and take the historic title back to the Pacific coast for the seventh time in eight season. Eric, the curly-haired sophomore who tosses the 16-pound shot and discus around with the same reck- less abandon that Ruth hits home runs, was in record-breaking form in yesterday’s trials, from the mo- ment he stepped out on the Harvard turf to hurl the shot to a new record of 50 feet 1 inch until, a few hours later he wound up a busy day by tossing the discuss a new record distance of 154 feet, 11 inches. “As Krenz goes, so goes Stan- ford.” Easy Victory Expected Erie sets the pace but he isn’t the whole team, .by any means. Twelve and possibly thirteen others stood ready to contribute to Stan- ford’s score, which experts expected to produce a one-sided victory for the Cardinals as well as to estab- lish the highest point total in at least 10 years, if not 30 years. I seemed probable to observers that Stanford, in spite of keen oppo- Cornell, would ern mark, set by Cornell in 1918 and possibly threaten the all-time high-mark of 57 points, registered by Pennsylvania in 1899. Yale, the east’s only hope and a slim one, surprised even its ardent supporters by sticking close to Stan- ford in the qualifying competition yesterday, which cut the entry list of some 500 performers down to 106 jn 18 of the 15 championship events. The Cardinals’ margin over the Elis was only 13 to 11 in the number of qualifiers but the proportion of scor- ing power embodied in the Stanford ae ‘was much higher than that in the blue brigade. There was a wider gap between Stanford’s scor- ing machine and other outstanding squads, such as those representing Cornell, Harvard and Southern Cal- lornia, each of which qualified eight men yesterday.

Wilson is batting .346. Pirate Hitters Lead Pittsburgh dropped to .305 in club j batting last week, but remained well jahead of the second-place Cardinals, who showed an average of .285. Cincinnati, which is winning many games by smart fielding, was tied with Chicago for top honors in the club fielding column. Each had an average of .972. Frank Frisch of St. Louis gath- {ered a triple coronet for himself by his activities of the last week. The averages revealed the Fordham flash in front at scoring, with thirty-one runs; in driving team-mates across the plate, also with thirty-one, and in stealing bases, with ten. Frisch also tied with Bottomley of St. Louis and Traynor of Pitts- burgh in doubles. Each had twelve. Lloyd Waner and Wright of Pitts- burgh led in friples, each with six. Douthit’s card showed the greatest number of safe hits—fifty-eight. Following Blake in the pitching average are Haid of St. Lonis an Delaney of Boston, each with two victories and no defeats.
