Yankees Crowding
Cleveland in Race
For League Flag
By JUDSON BAILEY
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
If the New York Yankees never
had had their super-teams of su
per stars Ruth, Gehrig, Gomez,
Lazeri and the rest this year's
club might bo called great.
The Yankees are In second
place, to be sure, but they have
beaten the pace-setting Cleveland
Indians seven times In 10 games
and didn't really get rolling nn
til recently.
They have won 10 of their past
12 games and looked Impressive
In doing It. In lfi consecutive
games they have walloped 27
home runs. Joe DIMagglo has hit
safely in 33 straight contests,
matching the great streak of Rog
ers Hornshy In 1922 In the Na
tional league, Charley Keller has
hit a home run In each of the
past four games.
This was the sort of slugging
the Yankees threw at the Detroit
Tigers yesterday for a 14-4 vic
tory. DiMaggio collected four
hits.
Cleveland was beaten 7-6, by
the lowly Washington Senators
In a loose game that Included 30
hits and three errors.
The Boston Red Sox, outhit for
once, managed to beat the St.
Louis Browns, 4-2, In the only oth
er American league game.
The Brooklyn Dodgers Improv
ed their position In the National
league by clipping the Cincinnati
Iteds, 6-2, behind the three-hit
pitching of Casey.
The New York Giants scored
five runs In the eighth Inning of
a night game at St. Louis to heat
the Cardinals, 6-2, and cut their
first place margin to two games.
Lefty Larry French pitched
four-hit ball to bring the Chicago
Cubs a 5 0 shutout over the Bos
ton Braves.
The Philadelphia Phillies, who
lost a big lead and their ball
game to the Cardinals Thursday,
repeated the same trick against
the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday.
A three-run homer by Ettcn In
the seventh gave the Phils a 6-2
lead. But the Pirates scored four
times in their half of the sev
enth and won, 7-6.
nounced later. Jacobs, In select
ing Nova from a long list of chal
lengers, including Billy Conn,
pointed out that Lou was the only
one of the group that had not had
a shot at the title.
Nova staged a great comeback
to qualify for the title shot after a
year away from the ring because
of Illness following his defeat by
Tony Galento In September, 1939.
The Californian punched Pat
Comlskey all over the ring to win
a ten-round decision last January
and then knocked out Max Baer
for the second time In the eighth
round.
Louis, showing signs of state
ness In his knockout of Conn last
Wednesday, will take things easy
for the next two months.

If the Dardanelles, the narrow

This would isolate Britain from

The speed, mobility and fire
power of raiders surface, sub
surface and aerial have increas
ed significantly since world war
days when gun crews were plac
ed aboard merchant ships.
Some quarters here believed
that in the event Germany re-
lected tile U. S. protest, the nresi
dent's message would furnish the
groundwork for some decisive ac
tlon. And there were few, if
any, who felt that the reich, in
view of Its previous attitude to
ward the episode, would submit
to the demand for reparations.
