By the Associated Press. Although rain swept out the~east- ern schedule of the National league yesterday the Yankees managed to beat 1" e storm by a hair at the Ruppert stadium to defeat the Red 86x by 3 to 0 as the Athletics shut- out the Senators in Washington by 7 to 0. The Yankee victory, the third ever the Bostonese in two days, wad & legal game only because of the early start made in view of the acheduled double-header. The game was ended by rain after twe New York batters had been re- tired in the ffth. Babe Ruth and Leu Gehrig raked Jack Russell for successive home rund in the third, and Fred Heimach turning back the Beston invaders with regularity. The Babe's blow was his seventh, Gehrig’s his ninth. Although the champions gained nething on the victorious Mackmen, who swept their Washington series. ihe Ruppert lines were established mere securely in second place. The Brewns finally ran into an afternoon of indifferent pitching. and saw the Cleveland Indians dash off with a 10 to ¢ decision. That left the Brewns onc full game behind 't Yanks and two and one-half contest té the rear of the Mackmen. White Sox turned the tables | oit at Navin field. winning by , but the Chicago team lost vices of its star outfielder, Mostil, who snapped the mo in his right ankle in the fourth as he slid over the <Clate. Lyons pitched for Chicago. The final victery of the Athletics jn Washington was made possible by the fine box werk of George Wal- bers. who gave the Senators only shven scattered hits. Th~ Mac hammered Burke, Hopkins and Mar- berry artistically and impartially to acere their seven runs. The Cardinals narrowed the Na- tional lesgue fight for the top by i shading Adolfo Luque and the Reds | at Cincinnati, as Burleigh Grimes pitched the Pirates to a 4 2 to 1, te 1 decision at Wrigley field. Thixi a turn of affairs left the Bruins margin of only half a game over the Red Birds. Grimes’ victory was his sixth of the season, with the defeat yet to he entéred against his record. The big spit-baller leads his own circuit and stands second in the majors only to Géorge Uhle of Detroit, who has won | seven. Pat Malone and Arthur Neht werked against Grimes. Sylvestér Johnson had something ! of an edges over Luque in the bat- ¢ of the Cardinals at Cincinnati, but his superiority was registered on the scereboard only in the eleventh inning, when the National league chdmpions manufactured a single run to win by 2 te 1. \ The Giant-Robin postponement in ' re-; Bréeklyn was immediately scheduled for today, originally an open date.

The famous son of Fair Play—Mahubah was himself denied the chance to compete in the classic at Churchill Downs in his three year old, 1919, although later that year Man O’ War conquered the Derby winner, Sir Barton, in a special match race, Bad luck, moreover, scemed to strike the offspring of Man O' War as they came later to the races. A number started in the Derby but none aven broke into the money until Clyde Van Dusen, a gelding, came splashing home Saturday un- der a fine ride by *“Pony” McAtee to beat 20 rivals and win nearly $54,000 for his owner, Herbert P. Gardner of Amsterdam, N. Y. 8ired by Man O’ War, named for his trainer, bred in Old Kentucky but owned by an easterner, Clyde Van Dusen’s victory was a dramatic addition to the long and colorful his- tory of the Derby. Only seven geldings are among the Derby winners but they loom con- spicuously nevertheless. No victor Was more popuuAT Or mére renown- ed than Old Rosebud, the great geld- )nx that set the Derby record of 3 2-5 for the mile and a quarter in 1914, Then there was also Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Exterminator, familiarly known as “Old Bones” and “Old 8lim,” which won in 1918. On the way back to New York. discusting the big race as calmly as though it was just an every-day gal- lop, Jockey McAtee said: “After that first turn, I never felt any doubt about winning, tough as the going was.

Keith CORBIN RED SOX DROP FIRST GAME TO MYSTIC iLocals Show Plenty of Class in Opening Battle of 1929 Season—Home Club Gets Brace of Runs in Fourth Inning to Put It in Lead; 4 to 3—Center Fielders Furnish Thrills in Robbing Each Other of Almost Sure Hits—Account of Game. Despite a defeat in its first start of the scason, the Corbin Red Sox basebali team showed plenty of promise against Mystic Saturday fternoon. The local crew came out on the short end of 4to3 lattie but it was anybody's battle right up to the end of the game. The Rad Cox went into the lead 3 to 2 in the fourth frame but Mys- tic scored two in its half of the in- ning and these were enough to win. No scoring was done for the rest of the nine innings. Mystic scored its first run'in the opening inning when Banaclough beat out a slow hit to third. He went to second when W. Chapman walked and he scored on Walsh’'s hit to right center. Foote opened the third with a smash to right and scored on ‘W. Chapman’s double over Berger- on’s head. In the fourth, Cragan reached first on a fielder's choice. He took third on Belair's poke along the right field line. Mills popped a bunt that Buckland just missed. Cragan scored and Belair counted on Foote's single to center. Had Buck- land got the bunt, it would have been an easy double play as the squecze play was on. Blanchard started the Sox scoring in the second on his shot to left, a pass to Fields, Yankaskas’ infield single and Sullick's fielder's choice. In the third, Bucheri singled into right and when Foote mussed up Jackson's bid for a hit, all hands . were safe. They moved up a peg when Belair tossed Bergeron out at first. Blanchard then drove a shot to short that was too hot to handlc and Bucheri tallied. In the fourth, Yankaskas doubled, Buckland singled and Belair erred on a groufider to give the Sox their last run. The center fielders furnished the thrills. Both men robbed cach other of almost sure hits with circus catches. Bergeron nailed a drive with a leap and a back-handed spear that brought the crowd to its feet.

One inning was all that Kensing- ton needed to sew up the game. This was the fourth and this not only wiped out a 1 to 0 lead held by the Red and Gold crew but it gave Kensington 10 hits and 12 runs. After this, Kensington never even threatened to score but the damage had already been done. The high school played brilliant baseball behind the neat pitching of Henry §chmarr for three innings. Then the team went to pieces. Loose playing coupled with the terrific hit- |ting and several passes gave Kens- ington its chantce to run wild. | The pitching of “Huggy" Carlson and “Chick” McGrath, latest addi- tion to the south-end twirling staff, featured for Kensington. Two sen- sational catches in right field by Billy Ross were the features of the high schoel pley.

(BY JIGGER) With the greens and fairways in the best shape s0 far this season, 44 golfers paired in foursomes at #huttle Meadow and played in the regular Saturday tournament, The event was a fourball, best ball, one-quarter added handicap affair. That meant that the best score on each hole would be select- ed and one-fourth of the average handicap of the feursomes would be deducted for net acores. inder these conditions most any- t! might happen. High handie cap men have & surprising tendency to sheet some good golf on a few holes each round. With two of them playing in a foursome with two fair players, the combination is hard to beat. Matched up that way, two outfits scored one over par on the lower nine and another quartet exactly hit par on the upper half of the course. The most remarkable card of the day was turned in by the foursome, captained by “Keck” Parker, chair- man of the house committee, On it were eight “threes” which, in ad- dition to par figures on all the short holes, represented birdies on the fourth, fourteenth and seventeenth, That gave Parker and his part. ners & 73-3-72 and tied for Afirst place. Curt Booth, Perce Platt and Mac Hayden were the other mem: bers of his crowd. Frank Shields captained a team made up of Logan Page, l.en Morse and Clarence Barnes. Irank laid out the plan of battle against par and proved to be a good strategd He coached his cohorts to shoot par and twice stepped in to even up on par when his troops wavered. He and Morse did the sharp shoot- ing on the lower nine, On the way in, putting fever in. fected the eutfit and pars were missed at the 10th and 11th. Then Morse and Page both git fours at the 12th and 13 proved to he e 4| Page shot a nice birdie three at the next hole. RBarnes, who was having trouble with his tee shots and had not heen of much use, drove the 233 yard 15th hole and got a three, After playing the 17th the fourseme was one down to par and needed a birdie four on the difficult home hole, Captain Shield placed a Beau- tiful third shot twelve feet beyoud the pin and made a noble try for the long put which stopped just short of the hole. But the foursome's 75-3-72 tied for first place. Led by Bill Cowles and managed by Bill Costello, a quartet with George Rogers and John Abell as its other members, played a neat 76-4- 72 and divided the honors of the day.
