Includ ing Babe Ruth, within a week's time, something even worse has arisen to make Joe McCarthy prematurely grey, j-ua new YorK YanKoes nave taken to lapwing mentally In the pinches and to nay that McCarthy Is perturbed Is putting It lightly. . As the outrlKht result of two rarely unintelligent gestures over tho weekend, tho Yungees lost the same number of ball games and dropped out of first place in the American league, a position they had held without a break since opening day. Tho Cleveland Indians, rained out both days, took over the top with out a struggle. Mow Thinking McCarthy's boys pulled the first one Saturday, when Chapman be came confused on where to toss the ball at a vital point In the tenth In ning and didn't make up his mind until after the Red Sox had scored the winning run. But that was scarcely anything compared to tho rare skit given by Lou Gehrig' and Lyn Lary yester day at Washington. Lary was on base whon Lou smote one far into the center pavilion. Lary, rounding third, looked back In time to see tho ball bounce back Into a field-1 er's hancl, thought It had been caught for tho third out and hoaded for the duuout. Beforo thov could steer him back on tho baso .path. I of speed and crow tied tho pinto. There went to runs, the exact margin by which the Senators eventually won, 0 to 7. Chapman later hit one into the stands with a fellow Yankee on base and the whole team turned out to escort them safely past third. Carl Fischer relieved Marberry in the third to get credit for the vic tory, striking out ten batters dur ing his tonuro. The Yanks used a quartet, Including Oeorgo Plpuras, who made his first appearance ol the yeur.4 ' ? -""r"Z7-.. " r,"- """ . I mi sly comko injtimi hospital squad when ho fell going i ulng.

Sorrell and Sullivan allowed tho White Sox only threo hits, while the Tigers mauled three Chicago curvers for 11, Including Stone's fifth home run of the year. l'llclilug Duel In tho National league, Holno Melno gavo only four hits in pitch ing Pittsburgh to a 1 to 0 triumph over St. Louis. It was the season's second defeat for tho champion Car dinulu and their first shutout. Two walks, a stolen bus and au outfield fly, gave tho Pirates tholr only run off Bill Hullahuu. Charley Root, veteran Chicago right haundcr, started, finished and won his third straight game In down lug Cincinnati, 3 to 1. Root has permitted only four runs In 27 In- ! nlngu. Rogers Hornsby again led his team's oUeuuo Willi three hits in five trips. Rain spiked tho day's festivities at Brooklyn, New York, Boston and Cleveland.

Lieb was next-in-command in 1929. ofter his return from Wisconsin, and shouldered a big share of the respon sibility that year with Rock forced away from the field by the condition of his leg.

I Following that season, Lieb re- ! celved an attractive offer to coach at I Loyola of Los Angeles and accepted, on Rock's advice, especially as the i latter seemed fit to take full charge again. Anderson was recalled from St. Louis to take, over the Job as line coach and first assistant. Although younger and less experi enced.
