The American League's clouting champions were backed up today by the fine pitching effort of Monte Pearson, curve-ball righthander, who thus followed Gomez and Ruf- fing into the victory column. Loses Control Pearson gave up only five hits after pitching to just 12 men in the first four innings He suddenly lost control in the ninth inning and after loading the bases on two walks and a single, was taken out. But Johnny Murphy, the League's best relief p!tcher, was called in and ended the game by forcing out Jerry Danning. Giants Look Bad The Terry men looked worse in their own park than when they appeared across the Harlem river. They were unable to furnish any- thing in the way of an attack. Schumacher Hit Hard The Yankees collected all their runs and every one of their hits off Schumacher in the first six innings and then quieted down before the relief work of Melton, pitching in his second straight game, also vet- eran Don Brennan. Disappointing Crowd There was a disappointing crowd at today's game, only about 37,000 fans. The crowd was the smallest since one game in 1933, Gehrig tied Babe Ruth’s all-time |record of 33 runs batted in dur- ing world series.
