Detroit, Sept. 14. Yan
kee power, dormant for three

ioned violence today ai the
world championi slaughtered
the Detroit Tigers, 16 to 7, be
fore a crowd of 58,697 fans.
The victory lifted the world
championi to within two games
of first place in their belated
quest for a fifth straight Ameri
can league pennant. Despite the
defeat, the Tigers stayed on top
of the standings by a half-game
inasmuch as the Boston Red Sox
mowed down the second place
Cleveland Indians, 6 to 1.
Almost every hit meant a run
today as the Yankees combed
six Detroit pitchers for 18 safe,
ties that included two homers
by Joe Gordon and one by Bill
Dickey. All of the Yankee scor
ing was confined to the space
of four innings, the victors get
ting five runs in the fourth and
seventh Innings, four in the
sixth and two in the fifth,
Joe DiMaggio, fighting to win
the American league batting
title, furthered his cause with
four blows in five trips and
drove home three runs. Gordon
had a single in addition to the
pair of homers which lifted his
season total of circuit blows to
27.

I Something Like This Will Occur Monday
mM'fo'"':
Above Is an action shot of a recant battle royal in Klamath Falls between six ol Promoter
Mack Llllard's grappling huskies. Identified In the picture are the two Chick brothers. Dude
and Bobby. The rest of the boys are in too much trouble to reveal their faces. Monday night's
wrestling card in the local armory will be started off with a battle royal, and more of the
same action Is expected.
BULGARIAN PLANS
TO AID ARMENIAN
IN BATTLE ROYAL
Mike Nazarian, the Armenian
grapple toughle, may not be a
man without a friend, after all,
when six of Promoter Mack
Lillard's pachyderms bust loose
all at the same time in Monday
night's armory battle royal.
When the free-for-all was first
scheduled Nazarian, with ques
tionable bravery, yelled that it
was good enough for. him and
he could wallop all five of the
other matmen one at a time
or in a bunch. But yesterday,
Promoter Mack ' Lillard an
nounced that Steve Nenoff, alias
Tiger Taskoff and a grapplcr
of Nazarian's ilk, had intimated
he would not cooperate with the
four clean boys in ganging up
on the Armenian horror.
Nenoff, It seems, plans to
come to the aid of Nazarian if
and when the quartet of scien
tific gents advance on all fronts.
Steve figures, according to Lil
lard, tlot he and Nazarian can
stand off the four legitimate
matmen even though the latter
group will outnumber them two
to one.
So far as Ernie Piluso, Whltey
Wahlberg, George Wagner and
Jack Hagcn are concerned, it
doesn't matter to them what
Nenoff does. He can cost his
lot with Nazarian or remain
neutral; it won't make a bit of
difference in the battle plans
of the four. They will attack
Nazarian en masse, and that is
that, they claim.
Three regular bouts will fol
low the battle royal, opponents
to be determined in the order
of their elimination from the
ee-for-all. The two finalists
will tangle in the one-hour
main event.

western amateur championship
to her collection today with a
6 and 5 victory over Marion
Miley of Lexington, Ky., in
their scheduled 36-hole match.
They were even-up at the end
of the first 18 holes, but Betty
took command on the very first
hole of the afternoon round to
square accounts with the girl
who gave her such a lacing, 7

Betty went out in the after
noon in 36, one under par, then
birdied three of the next four
holes to wind up four under
par for the final 13 holes. Vrt

hooks and slices at vital points,
