They're tending strictly to their baseball knitting, winning games by hard, timely slugging, especially by Danny Taylor, Linus Frey, Sam Leslie 1 SUST LEFT THAT BIG BREEZE, "KZ Ly MENULTY, AN!

Home runs by Frey and Tony Cuc: cinello contributed heavily to the Dodgers’ two big scoring outbursts in! the fourth and sixth when they scored 10 runs. Dolph Camilli’s Johnny Moore's third brought the Phillies two runs in the second and two more came across in the third after which Emil (Dutch) Leonard called it a day. Bill Clark, who received credit for the victory, ‘nd Dazzy Vance pitched effectively for the winners thereafter. ‘The world champion St. Louls Cardinals and the New York Giants, Meanwhile, moved up to take second and third places. The Cardinals wal- Joped the Chicago Cubs, 9-5, behind Paul Dean's seven-hit pitching while the Giants ruined Babe Ruth's home- coming by beating the Boston Braves, 6-5, in the 11th on Mel Ott’s single. Ruth, making his first New York ap- pearance in his Braves’ uniform, at- tracted 50,000 to the Polo Grounds but failed to get a hit. Pittsburgh drove Tony Freitas out of the box in the sixth with a four- run assault and beat the Cincinnatt Reds 4-3. Red Sox Win in Sixth Developments in the American league were marked by the Boston Red Sox’ sixth victory in seven starts, @ 7-4 conquest of the New York Yan- kees. Red Ruffing allowed only one hit in the first 21-3 innings but had to retire because of a lame back. Johnny Murphy came in and was slugged for eight hits and all Boston's runs in the next three frames. A crowd of 20,500 saw the Red Sox’ home opener. Joe Vosmik’s triple was the big blow in a ninth-inning rally that gave the Cleveland Indians two runs and @ 7-6 victory over the St. Louls Browns that left the Indians in second place with four triumphs against one defeat. Chester Morgan, Rookie outfielder of the champion Detroit Tigers, drop- ped a fly with the bases filled and two out in the fourth and the Chicago ‘White Sox went on to score five runs and win the ball game, 7-2, behind Sam Jones’ effective pitching. Wash- ington turned back the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-4 with a three-run rally in the eighth.

He speedily won his way into the second shell and, when the Crimson crews went outdoors early this month, his improvement Was so great shat he was put into the first varsity. Whiteside tried him out on several slides and Young Roosevelt's form and drive were so impressive that he was assigned to the No. 6 oar right in the “Poweriouse,” and the veteran Jim Gardiner was demoted. ‘BIFF’ IN NEW POST Oklahoma City, April 24.—()— Capt.
