The clouting Athletic now playing third base, not only the leading batter of the majors, ac- cording to records which include Fri- day’s games, but he topped both cir- cuits in the number of hits made, in home runs and runs batted in and Jed his own circuit in scoring. In gaining his .467 average, which showed a nine-point gain over the week before, Jimmie had made 50 hits, scored 32 runs, batted in 36 counters and hit 11 home runs. He also Jed his own league with five triples and with another Philadel- phian, Pinkey Whitney, Babe Herman of the Reds, and Bob Worthington of the Braves was tied for the larg- est hit total with 44 blows. He also was second in his league in two res- pects with 27 runs batted in and six Stolen bases. The other major were Blue, White So: and seven stolen bases; Myer, Sena- tors, six triples: Terry Giants, 30 runs batted in and nine homers; Paul Waner, Pittsburgh, 22 doubles; and Frisch, Cardinals, eight steals. Although the “first 10 regulars” in the batting averages of the two leagues included seven men whose | names did not appear last week, the digures remain about the same.

Reaching for the ball causes a ten- sion in the spinal column which must be avoided in the golf swing. Due to a round and compact swing no doubt you have often noticed that you can shoot straighter with the shorter sticks. The golfer can achieve this swing if he will keep the hand: close to the body. This is impossibl> if one reaches for the ball. Reaching often will overthrow bal- ance, causing one to fall into the stroke, with a heeled or missed shot the result.

Bill Killefer, who has ideas of his own, has upset the best traditions by jkeeping Jim Levey, the club's one and only .341 hitter, in eighth position, just one step above the pitcher. As a result, the Browns present a sort of “double-barreled” threat to op- posing hurlers, something novel and apparently effective. There are two separate and dis- tinct “clean-up” batters, Goose Gos- lin, the club’s second best hitter, in fourth place and Levey in eighth, each with his own supporting case. The scheme, designed to sustain a rally once started, has worked like a charm since the Browns caught fire ‘on their recent visit to Washington. Monday they burst loose with five runs in the seventh to come from behind and down Detroit, 7 to 6. Levey made three hits. Goslin’s only hit drove in two more. The day's other best feature in the American League also was witnessed in the west, where Milt Gaston of Chicago White Sox beat Cleveland, 4 to 0, on two scattered singles. Red Ruffing’s tight relief pitching {in the ninth, when he replaced Pip- gras with one out and the tying run ters, enabled the Yankees to pull out with a 6 to 5 win over the Athletics, jbreaking the A’s winning streak at seven straight. Washington's ski ding Senators took a 6 to 2 beating from the Boston Red Sox. Stubbornly refusing to “crack,” de- spite the exhortations of all and sun- 10 innings to shade Brooklyn, 5 to 4, and climbed back to the National League top. Rabbit Maranville’s line single over first scored Worthington with the winning run after two were out in the tenth. The Giants kept hammering away and finally captured a messy affair | from the Phillies, 9 to 7. Three pitch- ers worked for each side during the see-saw struggle. With only the two games sched- uled, the Chicago Cubs slipped back to second place without a chance to defend themselves, AMERICAN LEAGUE i Yanks Beat A’: | New York—New York spiked a flourishing athletic rally in the ninth ie ae Yankees nosed out Philadelphia R H E Philadelphia 000 030 011-5 8 2 New York. 004 002 O0Ox—6 6 1 Mahaffey, Bowman, Krause and Cochrane; Pipgras, Ruffing and Dickey.

Darkness prevented three others from playing their first round match- es, these being Dave Martin, Califor- |nia champion from Culver City; Charles Sweeney, brother of Robert and also a member of the Oxford |team; and Joshua Crane of Brook- line, Mass. Beaten Monday in the first round were Paul Azbill, former New Jersey golfer who lives in England; Clive Al- vord of Greenwich, Conn.

By diligent research we discovered that back in 1929, in the last game of the season which started the A’s on their pennant streak, the Red Sox found Grove relaxed and beat him by 10 to 0. What odds could we have had against Grove being trimmed twice within a week before the first of May? Possibly 100 to 1. It was June, the roses were in full bloom and the A’s in full cry before Grove absorbed his second defeat in 1931. Thereafter, to correct matters, he won 16 in a row before bowing to Dick Coffman of the Browns in a 1-0 duel. He lost only four games all sea- son, Dissension Rumors Again There is always the sinister sug- gestion of dissension, of clubhouse warfare, when a championship club and favorite manifests inability to get off the skids. Consequently it is not strange to hear stories that the St. Louis Cardi- nals, as well as the Athletics, have resorted to scrapping among them- selves, in lieu of any effective scrap- jping against the opposition on the field of play. All of this may well be taken with! a shaker of salt. It is just as well to! remember that pennants are neither | won nor lost in the first month of the campaign.

One jockey was killed and two oth- ers injured, one of them critically, jwhen five horses piled up in a strug- gling mass in Monday afternoon's third race, a $600 claiming event for four year olds and up. Charles Pegg, 20, of Cantonsville, Md., up on Chorister, received fatal injuries and died in an ambulance. Jose Hernandez, 18, of New Orleans, and William Carroll, 20, of Covington, Ky., were in a hospital, Hernandez with a fractured left arm and possible internal injuries, and Carroll injured internally and in a serious condition. Tracy Reno, up on Erin Go Bragh, went down in the pile-up, killing his mount. Reno and Lee Hardy, the fifth jockey figuring in the smash, managed to roll out uninjured. None of the jockeys was able to give a coherent account of what happened, but spectators said the horses piled up when Hernandez’ mount, Phi Del- ta, bore out from the fence and in- terfered with the field.
