Once Mighty Yankees Must
Smoke Up in Home Contests
New York, June 8. (U.R) The once-mighty New, York Yan
kees boarded a train for the east today with their hearts consid
erably heavier than their bats and convinced that their home
play would have to far exceed their road average if they ex
pect to repeat as American league champions.
The Yankees completed their
worst road trip since their first
outing last year by splitting a
doublcheader yesterday with
the Cleveland Indians for a
record of eight games lost on the
western tour and only five won,
a road percentage of .383 as
compared with their over-all
average of .550. In 1843 the
champions fared much worse
on their first western Junket,
losing seven and winning only
one, with seven games Deing
rained out.
The Yanks were extended to
11 innings to win their first
gome yesterday, 64. The Tribe
took the second, 4-3 with a three
run splurge in the eighth which
broke a 1-1 tie.
The Chicago White Sox, In
last place on June 1st, climbed
into the first division with their
fifth and sixth consecutive vic
tories, at the expense of the
Washington Senators, who
plunged from fourth place to
last. The Sox won their opening
win, 6-3, in 10 innings. The sec
ond game was hardly a contest,
Chicago winning 0-1.
Detroit and Boston split a
pair, the Tigers winning the
first, 2-1 and Boston the second
5-1.
Philadelphia at St. Louis split
two 4-3 decisions.
Homers, instrumental In
carrying the Giants to a seven
game winning streak last week,
were largely responsible for the
first of two pastlngs they took
from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Five circuit clouts. Including
two each by Babe Dahlgren and
Jim Russell, gave Fritz Oster
mueller a 0-4 triumph In his
first start as a Pirate and hand
ed Bill Volselle the loss. The
Pirates won the finale 7-4 with
Preacher Roe receiving the
credit.
Cincinnati bounced back Into
winning stride with a pair of
four hit victories over the Bos
ton Braves. Rookie Arnold
Carter won the opener, 2-1 and
Clyde Shown won tho nightcap,
7-3.
The Chicago Cubs won the
first game of a scheduled double-bill
from the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 6-5 but the nightcap
ended in an 8-8 tie with the
game called at the end of the
10th inning because of dark
ness. wow tiie&

non-contest game of the current
Medford-Camo White league, the
Station Hospital nine won a nar
row 11 to 10 victory from the
Western Personnel Reassignment
Center. .
The game, a scoring race from
the start, came to grief in the
seventh frame, when the entire
battery of the Station Hospital
team become casualties from a
collision. Lucldo, WPRC fielder,
attempting a bunt, popped up
between Pitcher Steuber and Re
ceiver Hunt of the Hosoltal
squad. Both worthies. In a fran
tic attempt to make the out, col
lided head-on and both hit the
dirt somewhat dazed, each with
a broken nose. Neither one made
the catch and the ball rolled free.
Lucldo made the base, and two
runners scored, but the umpire
ruled that Lucldo was out and
the scores ruled out, and runners
