By_the Associated Press. ‘Those gargantuan numbers on the backs of the Yankees wiil come in handy on the banks of the Harlem today. Somc of the boys are going to be missing, and strange, if not altogether new, faces will appear in | their stead. Habitues of the Ruppert ramparts may strain their eyes, but they won't ind Bob Meusel, for in- stance, in left field. Miller Huggins admitted this as home fortifications before dawn to- his shattered forces retreated to day under cover of benevolent dark- ness. While confessing that Meus- el's failure to start either of the two games in Washington was due to no mistake In handing in the batting order, the midget manager surrendered other items of social in- terest, Mr. Mark Koenig, he said. would give up third basing for a time in faver of Gene Robertson, the bench hand; Leo Durocher also would res place Mr. Lynford Lary at short- stop. Corporal Huggins continued. He disclosed sl this juggling with the attitude of someone who intends to close his eyes and hope for the best, topping off his remarks with the amsertion that he would bench even Ruth if the exigencies of the situation scemed to demand it. The Yankee shake-up was greatest since the seventh-place y of 1925. It included Bob Meusel for the first time since the big Cali- fornian joined the club in 1920 The desire of Mr. Huggins 1o get a new deal for the Yankees no doubt was inspired in part by the pranks the Athletics have been play- ing. Fighting fire with fire in a sort of curtain-raiser to the gencral out-| break of intersectional strife sched- uled today, the American league ieaders matched hard knocks with the Tigers at Shibe park yesterday. But to a ninth-inning ambush of Eddie Rommel, who nevertheless es- caped with his life, the Bengals out- shone the Macks on safe hits by 15 to 14, bgt Mr. McGillicuddy march- ed screpely irom (he premises with the decislon in runs, 9 to 6. This victory stretched the Athletis lead to five games over the Browns and to eight over the Yankees. Jimmy Foxx again won the hiting nalo with his ninth home ru triple and a single. Howard EKhm- ke started, but left the game after gaining & good lead in seven innings. Owen Carrol and Emil Yde offered no puzsle to Athletic batsmen.

The Red Birus again repulsed Cincinnatli without trills or cerémony, this time by » 16 1, as the heavy guns of the Phil- lles fired a broadside which sent the Pirate craft to the botfom. The figures were 10 to 7. The result of these Dhattles sent the Cardinals Into_ first place again, with a margin of Sne game over ti-. Corsairs.

Machine Landers moved into undisputel possession of first place in the In- dustrial baseball league last evening when it downed the Stanley Rul: team 7 to 5 at Stanley Quarter park. The winners proved to have too much punch for the Rulers al- though the latter put up a stubborn battle and proved to be a much stronger team than last season. Landers moved into the lead in its first turn at bat when it scored twice on a pass to Charlow, a bunt which Goeb beat out and a triple to right by Vincent, The Rulers were not dismaye however, and stepped into the lea. in their turn af bat in the same frame when they scored three times when Jeyvis got a life on Charlow's wild heave after he had made a wonderful stop, a single by Jacob- son, a double by J. Argosy, Preis- ser's wild heave to second and an infield out. From this time until the fifth neither team scored although eacin threatened. It was due chiefly ‘o the brilliant fielding by both teams that no runs were registered during this time. In the fifth the winners tied the |score when Charlow tripled after jone out and rode home on a gingle by Preisser. The losers failed to count in their half of the frame anl Landers sewed the game up In the sixth with a three-run rally, Hillstrand opened this frame with a single and stole second. He raced to third when Zapatka let Corrazzo's throw got away from him. Fitzpat- rick flied out but Ostertag singled and Hillstrand scored. Lindgr:n followed with a one-base blow, Os- tertag reaching third and the hit- ter second on the throw to the far corner, Charlpw grounded to Schaetor who threw to the plate too la catch Ostertag and Lindgren reach- cd third while Charlow was safe ut first. On a delayed steal Charlow was caught at second but Lindgre: scored. In the seventh the winners last run on a hit hy Vincent, a sacrifice and an error. The losers made their final bid for the game in the ecighth wh-a| they scored twice. With one gone J. Argosy singled. Zapatka walked and they both came home when Jervis drove a double to left which Goeb made a great try but! missed by inches. The features of the game were the hitting of Argosy, a great stop and throw by Vincent of Zapatka's grounder in the third and a fine W. s 1 1 1 0 [ nt's clout in the The summary: LANDERS third. it 1 - 12 SHOP 34 RULE Al It Corvazz, Gill, ot wolf, p Casey, B Totals Landers 1 S dinefer for | by Simon of ' ] I Take Back In 1924, Urban Charles Faber pitched = mes, of which he lost 11.
