Sterling likewise is becoming more accustomed to night ball” Sterling’s first home run came at the start of the opening game. Jchn Danyo, one of his team- mates, put the Hats out in front by belting one over the wall with two men on bases, and Sterling increased the DeLand lead by poling out his four-bagger almost to the same spot. DeLand took the tussle by a 10-9 score. In the second game, a runaway for DeLand by a 7-1 count, Ster- ling put bis team out in front in the third when he lifted another over the fence with two aboard to demolish a one-run .lead_ by Cainesville Aside from the two homers, Sterling, a recent bridegroom, hit five out of eight trips to the plate in the two games, knocked in four runs and took part in a dou- ble play In a letter to his father, Ulric Sterling. Clayton said DeLand fans, after his two homers, had presented him with $5 in grocer- ies, more than $4 in cash and a arton of eigarettes. The elder Sterling said his son has hit 16 doubles since the season opened. Before leaving for DeLand, the Key West swatter predicted he would pi up frequent homers over the short leftfield wall at the Red-Hat park. The fence in the DeLand park is only 325 fect from home plate, while Sterling had been banging them out for 360 feet or more consist- ently in Key West. eom- since TRAVIS TOPS SWATTERS OF BIG LEAGUES SENATOR CLIPPING BALL AT 553 PACE; THREE NATION- AL LEAGUE HITTERS FOL- LOW (Special to The Citiven) NEW YORK, May 1.—Travis, ot ta Washington Senators, is setting ‘the pace for major league hitters with the bigh .mark of 553.

LEAD; TRIBE NOSED ATHLETICS DODGERS SCORED ‘THIRD STRAIGHT VICTORY OVER REDS; YANKEES BURIED BROWNS (Special to ‘The Citizen) NEW YORK, May 1.—The St. Louis Cardinals yesterday after- noon slipped into leadership of the National League, four points ehead of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The change, accomplished despite the fact both clubs won their games, is due to the lesser num- ber of losses credited to the Red- birds, although the Flatbush | gang has won three more than the Cards. | Enos Slaughter, third leading hitter of the majors, brought vic- tory to the Gashouse team with a homer in the fifth, scoring a teammate ahead of him. ‘That made the score read: St. Louis 6, New York 4. Mize also poled a round-tripper. The loss was the second in a row for the Giants at the hands of the Cardinals. Brooklyn stretched its season- al victory string to nine and the third against the Cincinnati Reds by edging the world’s champions, 4-3. Two circuit clouts in the eighth and a pair of doubles in the ninth provided the margin of triumph. Vander Meer, who had won his previous two starts, suf- fered his first defeat. Chicago Cubs pounded out a 9 to 4 win over the Boston Bees, , featured by a four-run uprising in the first inning, and Pitts burgh’s Pirates fell deeper in the cellar by bowing to the Philadel- phia Phillies, 8-4. A home run with one on in the ninth gave Cleveland Indians a 6-5 decision over the Philadel- phia Athletics and provided their sixth win ina row. The Tribe maintained its game lead over the Chicago White Sox, who claimed their fifth straight triumph, a 5-1 shellacking of Washington’s Sen- ators. . Four runs on two hits in the eighth settled the issue in fa- vor of the Chisox. Buck Newsom won his first game in four starts for the De- troit Tigers, although he was relieved. Tigers lambasted four Boston Red Sox moundsmen for f! 18 safeties and a 12-8 victory. Rudy York poled his fourth hom- er and two doubles that scored five runs.
