By ths Associated Press. The present chills and dampness of spring appear to be storing up troubls for major league baseball teams almost as fast as they arc piling up double headers. Only one club so far, has played all its games. The Chicago Cubs have this honor, 4nd the St. Louis Cardinals and De- troit Tigers also have escaped seri- ous consequences with but onc post- ponement apiece. More cold weather yesterday caused the postponement of all but two major league games and neither of these proved very profitable to the club owners. Only about 1,000 St. Louls fans turned out to see the Browns beat Detroit, 12 to 4, while about three times that number ap- peared at the Cubs park in Chicago to see the St. Louis Cardinals down the National league champions, 9 to 2. For the rest, the cold was piling up mor The Boston Braves, for example, seem headed for some- thing like the slaughter of Septem- Dber 1928 when they played four suc- cessive double headers against the New York Giants and lost all eight games. The Braves now have flve iwin bills to play against New York and each one makes the prospects look better for the Giants, who have less need to conserve their strength. The New York Yankees are in similar difficulties, Out of six games Scheduled against Philadelphia Ath- letics, they succeeded in playing only the opener in each city. And the Yankees have a rather small staff bf starting pitchers, 11l fitted to en- dure the rigors of a succession of twin bills while the champion Ath- letics seem ready to go as far as they like with overtime play. The Chicago White Sox also seem on the way to trouble with six double headers scheduled against the Cleve- land Indians and St. Louis Browns, beth of whom have more pitching strength to throw into the battle. Although St. Louis gained all the glory in the two games that did survive yesterday, the teams owe it to a select few players. George Fish- er, slugging young outfielder, played the leading role as the Cardinals downed the Cubs, scoring one run and driving in four with a single, 1wo doubles and a sacrifice in four trips to the plate. Chick Hafey fol- lowed the example Fisher set in the previous inning when he tripled with the bases loaded to bring in three of | . Louis scored in that | the five run. inning. Sylvester Johnson hurled the entire route for the Cards. Fred Schulte and Chad Kimsey di- vided the honors in the Browns' {ri- umph over Detroit. Schulte did most of the heavy hitting while Kimaey stepped in as a relief pitcher when Herman Halshauser began to wab- ble and shut out the Tigers without a Bit for four innings.

He took his stance and except for his clothes looked exactly as he did when le stepped out of obscurity last fall to baffle the Cubs, win the first game of the world series for the A’s, and pile up 13 strikeouts. “Most new pitchers place the for- ward part of the right foot on the rubber so that the foot points direct- ly at the batter. During the wind up they must turn the foot so that it points to third base. That throws the body out of line, the rhythm i lost, and the ball doesn't go exactly where you want it. point your foot to third base beforc you start the wind up.” Then Ehmke bent over as though he had a golf club in his hands. He still looked like Ehmke, the pitcher. “It's the same principle in golf,” he explained. “I play a fair game but when I sway backward—like this—as I swing, I lose my rhythm and slice. I've moved the wronyg part of the body. It affects m trol of the ball just as twistin foot affects the pitch. “Youngsters should pick out four good pitchgrs and study their styles instead of trying to copy something from every thrower they see.

BALTIMORE’S WINNING STREAK 1§ SHATTERED In the Only TInternztional League Game Yesterday Leaders Are Swamped By Montreal. By_the Assoclated Press. Baltimore's winning streak in the International League finally has been halted. In the only league game the weather man permitted yesterday, the Orioles were swamped under a fleck of Montreal Royal hits and went down to their first defeat in seven games, 12 to 4. The Royals put the game into the winning column as early as the sec- ond inning when they bunched hits oft Chambers and Hearn for five runs. After that it was a proces- sion of Royal batsmen around the bases. All told the Canadians col- lected 19 hits, including five home runs and four doubles. Haines got two of the home runs and had three doubles. Herb Thormahlen pitchel just well ecnough to kecp the Orioles from threatening. He was touched for nine safeties but the Orioles could not bunch them sufficiently to keep within striking distance ¢f the Royals. The three postponements of yes- terday brought leaguc total so far to fifteen. Schenectady, N.
