Free Day Gives Majors (
Time to Consider Ball
Senators, Yankees Take BatebH
Battles Even With New Batata Pill
By JUDION BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The major leagues are as confused about the balitln ball a
a bunch of freshmen at the Junior prom and perhaps It Is a food
thing today Is an open date ao that everybody can take stock
of themselves and of the balls that are bolng used.
In games played at Brooklyn ngulnsl the Phillies this week
end leftover supply of last yenr's balls was used, the change
over being made In the third Inning of Saturday's struggle. But
other clubs In both leagues still are using the new 1043 model
even though all parties conrern -
ed say it Is dead
The Herald-Tribune In New
York raised the question today
of whether or not It was legal
for the Dodgers to use a dif
ferent bull from other major
league clubs and pointed out
that the National and American
league were bound by agree
ment to use exactly lhe same
hull dead, alive or maimed.
Dead ball or not, the Wash
ington Senators made IB hits
and scored 12 runs in the first
game of a doublehrader yes
terday. They also scored five
runs on six hits In the night
cap to sweep the bargain bill
from the Philadelphia Athletics
12-2 and 5-0. Alex Carrnsquet
pitched two-hit bull In the
nightcap.
The New York Yankees also
succeeded in milking 12 hits
while blasting the Boston Red
Sox 7-1 to continue unbeaten
in first place in the American
league. There was one game in
the National league in which 20
hits were mndo, ten by each
team, as the Pittsburgh Pirates
conquered the Chicago Cubs
0- 2.
All of theso games were play
ed with the "dead" ball and In
asmuch as the batters managed
to stir up quite a commotion,
there was room for suspicion
that maybe the reason the St.
Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati
Reds played another 1-0 game
could be attributed to good
pitching or weak hitting or
both.
Yesterdny It was Lefty John
ny Vandor Mocr who lost the
decision to Lefty Howard Pol
let of the Cardinas as the two
western rivals grappled In their
hilling vacuum at Croslcy field.
Vendor Mcer, who had won the
1- 0 nod In 11 Innings on open
ing day, allowed Just four hits
to Pol!ot's five, but In the fifth
Inning Walker Cooper tripled
and came home on a squeeze
bunt by Buster Admna.
The Reds received two other
setbacks. Catcher Ray Mueller
Miffcrcd a split finger and Out
fielder Mike McCormlck went
home to visit before bolng In
ducted. The Dodgers were handed
their first victory, 3-2, as
Rookie Jack Kraus, former
Brooklyn farmhand, held Leo
Durocher's dandles to six scat
tered hits. Philadelphia's scor
