The victory served to again move the Nats to within three games of the fifth-place Indians, who lost Boston. facing probably Julio Bonetti, Nats were seeking their straight over the Browns. The Yanks, double winners over the second-place White Sox, may lack for gerious opposition but it must be recorded at this moment that Wash- ington is the best-looking ball club in the league. That was the Nats' tenth victory in the last 13 games and this is no pace to be denied for long. the second International. Rochester_ 1 Toronto 7 Newark. &: Buffalo. 4 Baltimore. 10 Montreal. 2.

The 1937 model has red and blue stitches and is hard as a rock. The “1938 model” has green stiches, which are wider and higher than the red and blue. The cover, according to the manu- The official description (from the manufacturer) is that the difference in the covers is approximately the thickness of a sheet of ordinary writing paper. Pitchers Like New Ball. WES FERRELL, who does pretty well with today's “rabbit ball,” confessed that he had not thrown next year’s ball but he was weighing it in his hand in the club house and saying it wouldn't make him mad if they adopted 1t. “I'd win a lot of ball games by pitching this thing,” said Wes, fondly regarding the raised seams and prob- ably pondering the tricks he could make the ball perform. “Let's see, I don't quite remember the exact year but when I was with Cleveland one season there was a ball that I could twist up pretty good with my hands. “I used to twist it here (and he displayed a spot where the seams run close together) and it really did things. I got a hunc] the same thing could be done with this ball.” Mr. Syd Cohen, the southpaw, is enthusiastic about the ball, too. “It sure would cut down home runs,” said Syd. and Di Maggio would keep getting | homers from time to time but not at the rate they get them now. They really would have to hit that ball on the nose.” “Dead” Ball Okey With Griff. I.{IS nibs, Mr. Clark Griffith, likes the new ball. Mr. G. used to be a good pitcher himself and maybe that | explains it. Or maybe he figures that teams like the Yanks always will have & terrific pull over other clubs if a lively ball is used. Anyway, he heartily indorses the green-stiched thing except for its tendency to grow lop-sided. “It puzzles me,” the Old Fox was saying. “It is supposed to be the same ball that is used today, except for the cover. And that is only slightly thicker. That shouldn't make it grow cockeyed. “Look,” he continued, pointing to his desk. On it were half a dozen of the “1938" balls which were used in practice. There were X-marks here and there on the balls. “They are to show where they got flat,” explained Griff. “I'm sending them to Will Harridge (president of the American League) to show him how lop- sided they become. “I'm in favor of deadening the ball. T'd like to have Mr. Harridge take the covers off these balls and make sure they are the same inside as the pres- ent ones. If they are not I'd like to see them adopt a ball with the same | thickness of cover but with a deader inside.” As if afraid he was making his case for a less lively ball too strong, Mr. Old Fox hastened to add: “But this ball still can be hit a long way. This is practically the same kind of ball we used in the 1933 world series. You remember it, don't you? Well, Goose Goslin hit one of these balls outta sight in that series. That proves it can go, doesn't it?” Mr. G. thinks differently than his bell players. Unfortunately for him, the Goose went, too, and so he can't prove much as regards that kind of ball. exactly right.

A series for the league lead, an all-star game, or a world series gives many a team the blind | staggers. But not Col. Ruppert's boys in white. The Yanks just swing their bludgeons and bring home the bacon. They reserve their most momentous feats for days when the competition 15 tight and the stands are full. Employing their time-honored home- run technique—"hit 'em where they can’'t possibly be’'—the Yanks blew down the Chicago White Sox in both games of a double-header yesterday 7 10 2 and 5 to 3, and pushed their league lead to seven games. The season’s largest crowd, 66,767 fans, was on hand. Home Runs Decide. OME RUNS, trade mark of the Yankees since 1921, won both games. Bill Dickey hit his nineteenth with three on in the eighth inning of the second game to climax a bombard- ment that had begun when Lou Geh- rig, starting his 1900th consecutive game, had shot his No. 22 into the stands with two mates aboard in the first inning of the opener. In between these two wallops the Yanks batting banditti, Joe Di Mag- gio and Tony Lazzeri, took care of the scoring. Joe hit No. 32 with two mates aboard in the seventh inning of the first contest and Tony got one in each game. Red Ruffing muffied the Sox in the opener for his fourteenth victory and Vernon Gomez seemed headed the for three runs in the seventh and eighth. But when the Yanks came up in the latter inning Rolfe singled, Di Maggio doubled, Gehrig walked and Dickey lined one into the stands. The Sox, who came to New York with gaudy dreams of a four-game sweep, are burdened with a two-game deficit, and- the series is half over. For the moment their pennant ambi- tions are squelched. Gehrig, as chipper as a rookie in the field and at bat, was presented a watch between games for being the league's most valuable player in 1936. Cubs Gain Ground. THE Chicago Cubs, with Bill Lee, Gabby Hartnett and Frank De- maree hitting homers, subjugated the Phillies, 4-1, as Lee hurled his twelfth vietory. The win gave the Cubs a seven-game lead in the National League over the Giants, who dropped a tight one to the Reds in the tenth, 3-2. The Pirates picked up a game and a half on the Giants by beating the Dodgers, 5-4 and 10-4. The pugnacious Al Todd led the Bucs at bat in the second game with two triples, a dou- ble and a single.
