Habit is a powerful force, as may be seen from the standing of the clubs in the American league today. Yes, there they are, with a percent- age of 760 just when everybody had agreed that the pupils of Prof. Mil- ler Huggins were plunging into the midst of a batting slump overdue for almost three years. At the precise moment when the other seven clubs began to take hepe, the Yankees began to hit—and they haven't stopped yet. Eight solid blows of Sammy Gray in eight rounds and two more off Ed Stre- lecki in the ninth netted the cham- pions enough margin for a 7 to 3 victory over the Browns at Sports- man's park yesterday, a clean-up of three games in St. Louis, six straight o in the West and seven straight, East ® and west. sesssernespacensey smsecescrnsaesvcerTe * The death blow yesterday was|Mcl o dealt by Signor Antonio Lazzeri. s who thoughtlessly drove one of : Gray's choiceebenders into the left field seats in the sixth after Koenig « had doubléd and Ruth and Gehrig « had singled.

The Yankees ave a traditional habit of knocking off in person any club that seems dangerous, and it appears that the “ Browns unwittingly advertised them- Selves as something of a ball team by cleaning up the West before the + champions arrived. The Athletics matched strides . with the Yanks yesterday by winning « their final clash in Chicago by 9 to 2 behind the steady pitching of Gaorge Earshaw., The Macks now have' only Cleveland and Detroit te face but s0 have the Yankees; which makes it unreasonable to suppose that the McGillicuddy troops will register any marked gain through the rest of the invasion.

Pyle Appears About fo Get 1 “Break” on Eveat New York, May 10 UM—Well, the celebrated bunion derby has covered some 1,800 miles, more than half the trek from New York to L. Angeles. The answer to this may be to yawn and Inquire: “What of it?” On the other hand, it ‘may also be worth noting that Mr. C. C. Pyle, in his second transconti- nental journey, seems about to get a “break.” The race may not be bigger and better in all the respects that Mr. Pyle anticipated. He has had his troubles and attachments. But the 1929 grind is faster and closer than last year's contest. What is more important from the promoter's view- point, it gives promise of profit, where a year ago the enterprising gentleman from Wheaton, Ill., found himself something like $100,000 “in the red” when he reached New York. ¥rom Mr. Pyle, at Sherman, Tex- as, comes this word by request: “Financially I am $75,000 better off now than I was at this stage last year, and if things continue &s they have since we crossed the Missis- sippi river I can expect to mak reasonable profit on the ventur Evidently the eastern half of the country takes its bunion derbles us they come and without much en- thuslasm, by comparison with the wide open spaces. But is Promoter Pyle discouraged?
