SIPORTS, - Yankees Are Making a Runaway Race: Brooklyn Is Sensation of National League CHAMPIONS HAVE TAKEN 17 OF THEIR LAST 20 GAMES One Reverse in Detroit, Two in Philadelphia and Clean Sweeps in St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago and Here Their Road Trip Record. BY DENMAN THOMPSO! B Y running rough shod over every team in the circuit—Philadelphia alone excepted—the Yankees are exceeding the fondest expecta- tions of their suporters and justifying the worst fears of all fans| in_the seven other citics comprising Ban Johnson's organization. They seem headed straight for a third successive title and another all-New York world series struggle with the Giants, who are traveling true to form far | ahcad of the National League procession. Taking both ends of the holiday bill herc yesterday, the first by 6 to 4, the second by 9-3, the Hugmen completed the most successful road trip ever undertaken by a New York American League club. Since leav- ing their own lot to open a swing through the west on May 8 the Yankees have won seventecen out of twenty games. They finished on the short end of one game in Detroit and met two reversals in Philadelphia, but made a clean sweep of their engagements in Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington. This practically tics the record achieved in a similar period by the Giants, who have had the advantage of playing at the Polo Grounds, while | Warwicks and the Che the Hugmen have been appearing before hostile crowds on alien fields. A measure of credit for the recent sensational spurt of the Yanks must b attributed to the weapon-wielding prowess of Battering Babe Ruth. the callph of clout. who seems to have recovered h slugging sight after getting away to a slow start The Bambino unlimbered a pair of circult smashes yesterday, Walter Johnson feeling the weight of his wagon tongue in the morning game, while George Mogridge was the vi tim in the afternoon encounter. These ‘were the only safeties chalked up by Babe on the holiday, but they a counted for a quartet of the Yankees' fifteen runs, for two of his mates were on the cushions when he con- nected in the getaway game. Ruth’s home runs for the current meason now number eleven, and his lifetime total fs 210, while he has av- eraged one for every two games in the past three weeks, having made Tine in his last eighteen contests. Poor Pitchiniz Again Costly. Inefficient twirling—the bugaboo of the Nationals this season—was the cause of their double defeat yester- day. Three flingers were cailed on by Bush in each of the games and rone displayed any class. Pennock proved far from a puzzle in the morning affair, bingles being bunched off him in two different rounds. but, like Bush, who hurled for the Hug- men in the afternoon pastime. he proved far better than the collection of ‘veterans and recruits who opposed him. Johnson started the morning game &nd retired after vielding three runs in the first three innings. Hollings- worth, who got his job, then eased along with only one unearned run due to an error by Peck, until the eighth when he loaded the bases with one down by handing out three walks in a row. Zachary, who failed to last more than one inning against the <champions Tuesday and who has the poorest record of all the hurlers on the local roster as a relief pitcher, was selected to step into the breach. Jezebel disposed of Witt, the first man to face him..but was combed for a ringing single to center. by Dugan, which gave the Gothamites the two- Tun margin by which they won. Mogridge Knocked Out. In the vespers engagement Mo- gridge looked good for two rounds. but was summoned to the side lines in the third. when four successive safeties, including Ruth's homer, gave the visitors three runs. War- moth essayed the rescue role and suc- ceeded in retiring the side, but had 1o be withdrawn in the next frame after jamming the corners, with none out, through a single, a pass and a hit ‘batsman. Zahniser, the Memphis acquisition. who followed him to the #lab, was roughly handled in the re- mainder of that frame and during the next two. Following the sixth the Yanks subsided. possibly because they had the battle sewed up and were weary from their previous ex- ertions. Ruth's first circuit slam cleared the high part of the fence nearest the right-fleld foul line. For his second homer of the day Babe found a better spot than the one he picked in the forenoon encounter, when the bases were unoccupied. 1t was in the third inning of the p.m. pastime when Witt and Dugan were on the runways by virtue of singles that the Bambino boosted one of Mogridge's fast balls over the scoreboard. a feat that drew enthusiastic applause from the sensa- tion-loving bugs, despite.the fact that 1t put the Yankees in the van. Griffs Take Lead In Nightcap. When the evening joust got under way it appeared Joe Bush was in for a ‘rough afternoon. Bluege was forced by Harris after Ossie walked. and with Rice disposed of Bucky stole second. Two markers material- jzed when Goslin poled to the limits in left for three bases and Judge fol- Jowed suit in the other direction. Joe was left at the far corner when Wade rolled to Ward A neglected opening was presented in the third. Bluege singled over the midway. moved up when Buch heaved Harris' sacrifice to centerfield and advanced with the captain on Rice's suicide. Goslin then fouled to Rengough. greatly to his disgust, and Ward made a snappy play on a rap off Bush's glove to retire Judge. Mogridge was beckoned to the bench during the Yankece barrage in the third and Warmoth, his succes- sor, also got the hook in the follow- ing frame when the lugmen in- creased their run total by two. It happened when Bengough singled and Warmoth walked Ward and wounded Scott to fill the bases. Joe Bush, first 10 face Zahniser, rapped into a dou- ble play that cashed Bengough, and Witt's single to center tallied Ward. Pipp's triple to left and Ward's one-baser gave the champs a counter 4n the fifth and they acquired three more in the following frame on a Eingle by Bush, Witt's triple and a Texas league safety to center by Meusel Bestirning themselves in tne eighth, three of the Bushmen rogistered on | aingles by Rice, Goslin and Judge, followed by Wade's triple, but Ghar- rity ended the rally with a loft to Meusel after Peck walked.

They point out the fact that eight of ten cars finishing in the money, incl; uding the first seven in order, were of American make, as proof that the United States still maintains the superiority in mechanical designs gained during the war. It is more remarkable, they say, in that while the quest of European designers after the best possible small light car of low gasoline consump- tion is prompted by the direst necessity, the interest of American design- crs is purely a theoretical one. No real necessity for the building of small cars confronts the United States for _That the tiny 122-cubic-inch piston displacement ‘racers proved them- was the consensus of au-! tomobile men. The fact that numerous cars were forced out early in the race, through mechanical and engine trouble, means little, for these de- fects may promptly be remedied. the That the tiny racers could stand the grind of the 500-mile derby and come through in such ex- cellent condition was a matter of astonishment to automobile men Drivers of the foreign-made speed creations had no comment to make regarding the relatively poor show- ing of their cars.

Now Georgetown, Holy Cross and the pair defeated yesterday are on even terms so far as losses to col- lege nines are concerned, with the race for the title due to end this week. To realize on its stock, however, Georgetown wlill have to carry on with grim determination. Following its tilt with Providence College at Providence today, the Hilltoppers are to meet on successive days, Boston College and Holy Cross, the last men- tioned the G§-to-2 victor yesterday over the Boston bunch.

Overcoming defensive weaknessde in the infleld and rounding his pitch ing staff into excellent form. {son has converted a rank outsider, into a possible dangerous pen Nt o contender. The Infield problem ap- parently has been solved by installing - the veteran Jacques Fournier, ob- tained from the St. Louis Cardinals, at first; moving Jimmy Johnston from short to second; Andy High from - third to short and filling the hot corf ner with Bill McCarren, a_product of , the Eastern League. Ray French, ob- tained from the Pacific coast, also showed promise at short until an jury forced him from the line-up. Cadore, Ruether, Vance and Grimes, among the pitching veterans, have developed winning form, while Robin- ¢ son has unearthed two likely-look ing youngsters to round out the hur ing corps. One is Dickerman, ob-j tained from Memphis, who won flves straight before he was beaten yester- day b the Giants. The other js “Dutch” Henry, obtained from the St Louis Browns, who performed sen- sationally in_his first Brooklyn as- signment by blanking the Giants last Tuesday. The Dodgers won National League+ pennants in 1916 and 1920 with clul of much the same character as Robin son has assembled together this year. _ AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
