Yankees Ousted
From First Due
To Double Loss
By Ciavltt Tal hot Jr.
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
As If It wasn't bad enough to lose
three of his best outfielders. 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 ' ?

In the day's only other American
Lcnguo engagement, Detroit sscored
its fourth straight victory at the
expense of Chicago, 8 to 4.
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.

But for brie of those things "they"
call fate, Tom Lleb, Instead of Hunk
Anderson, now might be the "senior
coach" at Notre Dame, carrying on for
the old master, Knute K. Rockne.
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.
There was talk then that Lleb
would be the selection for greater
responsibility li Kockne's condition
was such as to force him into semi- !
retirement. 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. Jack Chevigny, the "Junior
coach" under the new arrangement,
was perhaps closer to Rock than any
of his aides. Chevigny accompanied
Rockne on many of his personal trips,
as a sort of aide and body-guard. In
this way he had a rare opportunity to
absorb Rockne ideas and philosophy.
