By Oayle Talbot
(Assoclte Prees 6 porta Writer)
With the big league ball season
ana (rigid week old, It begin to
look aa If the champion St. Louis
Cardtnala will receive a run for
their money In the national league.
In losing their fourth etralght
home game yesterday the champions
set a new low for the last two sea
sons, dropping Into seventh place.
Their 1 o n g e a t losing stresk at
Sportsman's park last season was
three straight, and only once did
they drop four In a row on the
road.
Long Climb Ahead
Where they started last season
with a succession of triumphs, win
ning eight of their first eleven
games and taking a lead they never
relinquished, they found themselves
today with only two wins In six
starts and a long, uphill climb be
fore them.
It Is probtble Sergeant Street's
boys will collect themselves soon
and move around the top, but the
odds are long against their making
another such runaway as that of
last yesr. Charlie Root of the Cubs
set them down with four hlte yes-
terdav and would have scored
shutout but for an error by Bookie
Bill Herman In the ninth. The
score was 8 to 1.
Giants Also Slow
The one cheering note for the
Cardinals la that the New York
Giants, generally regarded aa their
most dangerous rivals, have an even
worse start. Walter Betta of the
Boston Bravea handed the McOraw-
men a 7 to 1 beating yesterday.
sendlni them definitely Into the
basement.
Led by Bsbe Herman and Bay
Kolp, the Cincinnati Beds further
aroused their constituency with a
6 to 0 win over Pittsburgh. Kolp
held the braves to five bit while
Herman drove In four of the Reds'
runs with a double and a home'
run.
Babe Phelps, a sensation for
Brooklyn In 1930 and a flop In
1931, made his debut by blanking
the Phillies. 8 to 0, on six hits.
Solons Dnib A's
The Washington Senators supplied
the fireworks In the American league
with a crushing 18 to 7 triumph
over the Athletics. Wslt Johnson's
proteges topped things off with , a
six-run splurge In the ninth, to
which Sam West and Joe Judge
contributed homers.
Wes Ferrell rang uphls second
victory aa Cleveland stopped the
Chicago Whltesox, a to 1, Vlo Pras
ler pitched sterling ball for the
losers, permitting five hits In eight
Innings, but the Sox made six er
rors behind him.
Whitlow Wyatt of Detroit like
wise scored vlotory No. 3 as the
Tigers took a loose one from the
St. Louis Browns, 14 to 7.
The Yanks and Red Sox were not
scheduled.

FOOTBALL INQUIRY
BRINGS CRITICISM
ON RULE REVISION
WILMINGTON, O., April 19.
(AP) The revised football rulea, re
lating to the klckoff, were exposed
to a coach's criticism that they
were responsible for the critical In
jury of one of his players.
Tom Williams. 19. a Wilmington
high school player, suffered a brain
concussion in a practice game yes
terday while trying to block an
opponent.
Coach Amos Smith said Williams,
playing as guard, on the defensive
team, was exposed to great possi
bility of injury because the new
rules prevented him from meeting
the full speed of an opposing play,
er with equal force.
The Wilmington team went thru
a 10-game schedule last season, un
defeated and without a serious In
Jury, but Smith predicted the new
klckoff rule will "result In more
Injuries than ever."
