Bengals 12 to 3 Behind Whitehill’s Tossing (By the Associated Press) Don't look: now, but” something queer is going on in the Bronx base- ball business—champions, inc., of the diamond worltl.” The famous clouting circus, New York’s Yankees, who cracked about every long distance record in sight last year and averaged better than a homer a game, isn’t hitting hard enough to dent a cream puff, so far as extra base blows are concerned. ‘The Yanks have produced in six. tilts just one lone home run, “pooshed up” several days ago by Tony Laz- zerl, and a single triple. Win Five Straight And the queerest thing about the whole business is that the team keeps right on wifviing ball’ games despite Lou Gehrig’s ailing hand and the ab- sence of tonsil-less Joe DiMaggio, their winning streak is the longest of the young season—five straight. THURSDAY'S STARS Freddy Fitzsimmons and Bur- gess Whitehead, Giants — Former pitched five-hit ball and hit hom- er; Whitehead clouted two homers in 9-0 win over Dodgers. Tony Cuccinello, Bees—Hit five- -for-five, including homer with one on for winning runs, as Phils went down, 6-4. Earl Whitehill, Indians—Limited Tigers to seven hits and struck out five in 12-3 win. Monte Pearson, Yankees — Fan- ned seven and pitched six-hit ball in 4-2 win over Senators. ‘ Johnny Dickshot, Pirates—Two singles drove in two runs, in 6-5 win over Cubs. Monte Stratton, White Sox— Blanked Browns with eight hits for 12-0 victory. Lon Warneke, Cardinals —His eight-hit pitching beat Reds, 6-1. Maybe (and this is only being whis- pered as yet) the victories are coming because the lightly-regarded Yankee pitching is fooling the boys. Rated, as usual, as the weak spot, the fling- ers have been ace high in recent days, despite the absence of holdout Char- ley Ruffing. Thursday Monte Pear- son turned in a six-hit job, fanning seven batters, to whip Washington's Senators 4-2, the Nat's fifth straight setback. In Batting Slump The Bronx basebail faithful are in even more of a dither over the antics of their other representatives in the diamond wars, the Giants, Bill Ter- ty’s terriers have long been noted for putting the burden on their pitchers, and in recent days have emphasized that habit with a profound batting slump. Thursday, however, when they real- ly didn’t need to get excited, they fielded a revised lineup, reversed themselves all the way, and bombard- ed Brooklyn’s Dodgers, 9-0, Fat - Freddy Fitzsimmons’ knockleball muffled the Dodgers with five hits, but more remarkable were the two homers contributed by the light-hit- ting Burgess Whitehead, and the one ‘walloped by fat Freddy himself. Win in 13th Frame The Giants’ two chief rivals re- mained in the thick of things. Pitts- burgh’s Pirates gave up an early lead and then took advantage of Bill Lee’s wildness in the 13th inning to down the Chicago Cubs 6-5. Lon Warneke threw an eight-hitter for the Cardi- nals to whip Cincinnati's disappoint- ing Reds, 6-1. Cleveland’s heavy-hitting Indians clubbed Detroit 12-3 behind Earl Whitehill’s seven-hit hurling. The Chicago White Sox pounded out 19 hits as Monte Stratton pitched the American League's first shutout, blanking the Browns, 12-0. Tony Cuccinello collected five-for-five, one of them a game-winning homer in the 11th, to give the Boston Bees a 6-4 decision over the Phillies. The Athletics and Red Sox were rained @ut for the third stragiht day.

D., Apr. 30.—(@)— Nearly 50 colleges and high schools in five states have registered for the 15th ‘annual renewal of the Dakota Relays scheduled for-Friday and Sat- urday, with prospects of some record- breaking performances if the weath- er is favorable.
