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.
