- YANKEE STAMPEDE SEEMS TO BE ON IN EARNEST ‘Champions Batter Tigers for a 10 to 5 Decision—In- dians Whitewash Athletics, 9 to 0—Browns Shade Red Sox, 4 to 3—Washil ngton Sets Down White Sox 4 to 2—Reds Subdue Braves—Pirates Swamp Phil- lies—Cubs Beat Giants The stampede is now on in earnest. Will the Yankees again beat their field to a pulp by May 30, as | wsual? Another step in that direc- tion was taken yesterday when the champions battered the Tigers for a 10 to § decision at Navin fleld as' the Indians upset the whitewash bucket on the Athletics, 9 to 0. That combination of events gave Yanks their eighth straight victory, and increased their lead over the second-place Mackmen to one and one-half games. The Yankee attack consisted of 13 hits for 23 bases, including Babe Ruth's gixth homer and Bob Meu- sel's third. Both of these big blows were concentrated in the fifth inning, helping the Yanks into a lead of 5 to 1, but the Tigers scored four times in their own half to tie it. Leo Durocher's fumble and Har- ry Heilmann's homer with one on helped. Taking matters into their own hands, Rill Dickey and George Pip- gras. Yankee battery partners, led an eight-round assault which rent Vic Sorrell to the showers and net- ted Professor H ns four rums. Tt was Pipgras’ third victory and his; second complete game. Walter Miller, the Cleveland southpaw. officiated at the obsequies over the Athletics. The Indians raked Rube Walberg for four runs in the third and four more in the fourth before Mr. Mack called far help. By that time help was un- necessary. The Browns recovered from the Yankee blow sufficiently to shade the Red Sox by ¢ to 3. Jack Olden had just that much edge over, Charlie Ruffing. Washington round- ed eut the day by setting down the White 8ex in Chicago, 4 to 2. While Earl Clark the Boston cen- ter fielder, set & new major league | record by snagging 12 Cincinnati flies and making one assist at Braves field the Reds busied themselves with the mere serious business of | subduing the Braves. 5 to 3. They had to have the help of Rabbit Maranville's first 1929 crror to do it. ‘The defeat dropped the Braves more firmly into third place. with the Pirates only half a game distant fol- lowing their 13 to 9 victory over the | The Buccaneers margin of Fhillies yesterday. overcame an adverse seven runs scored in the first inning. |- The more serious fighting on the Nutional league front saw the Cubs d the Cardinals lock-step their way threugh the Glants and the < Robing respectively.
