By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Associated Press Sports Writer Arc light baseball has no greater foes than the New York Yankees, but the absence of the sun doesn't seem to' bother the world champions when they begin wiping runners off the base paths with their defensive specialty, known to the trade as the double play. Holders of the major league record for twin killings In a season, the Yankees established a new mark for a single game last' night when they completed seven while walloping the Philadelphia Athletics, 11-2. The old record for nine innings was six, set by the Cincinnati Reds In 1925, and tied by four other teams. The Washington Senators, only American lea guers sharing in the record, were the last to tie it in 1933. By killing two "birds" with one play in every inning except two, the Yankees stretched their total of two-ply executions to 150 for 111 games. In another night contest, Mort Cooper hurled the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-0 decision over Cincinnati, blanking the Reds on two hits At New York, King Carl Hub bell tossed a four-hitter at the Philadelphia Phils as the New York Giants triumphed, 5-2. Two ot the Philadelphia hits were homers by Danny Litwhiler and Don Northey, but the Giants got Hubbel more than enough runs to give him his seventh win In a victory string that is the long est In the National league. "Bean balls" were forgotten at Brooklyn, where the Dodgers walloped the Boston Braves, 10 -0 and 7-3, in the first meet ing of the two teams since their their "duster" throwing provok ed a new league rule against the practice. The Chicago Cubs downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-1, backing up Lon Warneke's seven-hit pitching with an 18-blow attack, including homers by Bill Nichol son and Stan Hack. In the only other game in the American league, Hal White tossed a four-hitter at the Chi cago White Sox as the Detroit Tigers triumphed, 7-1.
