“Mickey g o e ATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1949 'YANKS SHOW STUFF: WIN FOUR STARTS By JACK HAND Casey Stengels New York Yankees, unbeaten in four starts, are the surprise team of the majors in the first week of the season. When the crippled “Bombers” polished off Washington 'in three straight, the critics said, “wait until they start playing the big leaguers.” Yesterday they took the Boston Red Sox 5-3. Maybe it's time to take them seriously. Nobody gave the Yanks much ot a chance at the pennant, even be- fore Joe DiMaggio's heel started acting up. When DiMag was hos- pitalized and lost for an indefinite period, the club appeared doomed to the second .division. Cleveland’s Gene Bearden, went the distance to trim Detroit, 4-3, in 10 innings. It took a single by Vernon, celebrating his 81st kirthday, to score Larry Doby with the winning run. Clark Griffith got the night sea- son under way at Washington in the Nats’ second home game. A crowd of 9,011 turned out to watch Carl Scheib of the Philadelphia A’s blank Washington with four hits, 2-0. The Chicago White Sox staged a four-run rally in the fourth in- ning tc down the St. Louis Browns, 5-2. - Ralph Kiner started his cam- paign for the home run title by blasting one with the bases loaded in Pittsburgh’s 5-4 victory over Cincinnati. Al Brazle set down the Chicago Cubs with four hits as the St. Louis Cardinals broke into the win col- umn for the first time, 9-2. Rain and ' darkness forced the umpires . to call the New York Giants-Boston Braves game at the end of nine innings with the score tied 6-6. e SKAGWAY.ELKS IN LEAD OVER JUNEAU BOWLERS, 2 GAMES| SKAGWAY, Alaska, April 23— ks from Juneau are bowling the Skagway Elks in a hot tourney and as the result of two games rolled last night, Skagway is 152 pins in the lead.

The victory .in the season’s cpener moved Wenatchee into a three-way tie with Yakima and Vancouver for the loop lead. ¢+ Raindrops on the west side of the mountains cancelled the Salem- Tacoma curtain raiser on the lat- ter's home field and idled Yakima at Victoria and Spokane at Van- couver: o 4 : —— e —— FOR SUNDAY DINNER "Baked Ham or Roast Turkey, at!!

The horse was ‘“never setter” in a workout the day before, he said. He said DeLuxe’s condition after the pace left him little hope of zetting the horse ready for the| Blue Grass stakes next Thursday and the Derby May 7. | Ponder, the No. 2 Calumet Derby | candidate, was a close fourth in yesterday’s race, won by .
