New York, Aug. 26 (U.R)
Frank (Slubby) Overmirc, a lit
tle man with big stuff, handed
the St. Louis Browns their third
shutout In a row, 5 to 0 today,
the victory putting Detroit only
four games behind the rapidly
retreating league leaders.
Overmire, who can't even
beat five feet, seven inches, In
his spiked shoes, got able assist
ance from First Baseman Rudy
York, the Tigers' late summer
slugger, who hit his 14th and
15th homers to account for
three of the five Tiger runs.
His first blow in the sepond
inning gave Overmire, smallest
pitcher in the Majors, a work
ing margin and the little fellow
didn't need any more help.
. York drove over the second
homer in the third with Miachel
(Pinky) Higgins on base and
after Slgmund Jakuckl settled
down, but it was too late.
The 32-year-old fast-pitching
rookie, who had shut out the
Tigers two times In a row, gave
up 10 hits, but might have had
a chance had not the Brown
batting attack remained' dor
rnant. The Browns, shut out in both
of their games here, have failed
to score in their last 27 innings,
having been blanked in their
final game at Washington.
York, who rarely gets his
long range batting eye in focus
until into in the season, moved
Into a four way tie for the
American league home run lead
Why not get the most

NEW RECORD SET
Pensive Finishes Fourth
Jockey Woolf Rides Three
Winners.
Chicago, Aug. 28 (U.R)
Georgie Woolf booted Alfred
' Parker's By Jimminy home In
2:03 in the mile and a quarter
added American Derby at Wash
ington Park today to clip one
second off the previous record
for the race established by Cav
alcade and Whirlaway, making
the black colt runner-up for
honors in the three-year-old
class.
An estimated crowd of 23,000
fans witnessed the 34th runnnig
of the Derby on a fast track.
Despite the fact he was re
united with Conn McCreary, the
Jockey who rode him in the Ken
tucky Derby and the Preakncss,
Pensive made only a temporary
bid for the upper money bracket.
He broke fourth, jumped into
third place at the half, but
dropped back into fourth place
In the stretch and ended in
fourth place, seven lengths be
hind By Jimminy.
The fourth place $2,500 prize
he won boosted the total for the
Calumet stables this year to
$484,250, all-time high. Pensive
carried the Calumet colors
alone; Miss Kecneland, the
farm's other entry, was scratch
ed. By Jimminy's record of 2:03 ,
broke the American Derby mark ;
of 2:04 established by Cavalcade
in 1934 and equalled by Whirla
way In 1941, and was only one'
second short of the track record
of 2:02 held jointly by Gallant
and War Knight.
The victory gave Jockey
Woolf three consecutive winners
In the American Derby. Last
year the Canadian-born Woolf
rode Askmcnow and the prev
ious year he was up on Alsab.
Woolf's record of consecutive
winners equals that of the great
Negro Jockey Isaacs Murphy who
rode the first three winners,
1884, 1885 and 1886.
Woolf sent By Jimminy to the
front immediately after the
break, kept him there by run
ning smoothly until they hit the
stretch, then booted him under
the wire with a good six length
margin.
