BIX HEHALO AND NEWS Small Crowd Greets 1st Night Ball Go In Bronx Rain Twice Forces Halt; Yankees Get Peek At League-Leading Sox Today ; . Br JACK HAND JUioeUUd Press Sport Writtr Joe McCarthy's New York Yankees get their first peak at the league - leading Chicago White Sox today but it's bound to be a letdown after the first twilight game in the Bronx and in which the Yanks defeated the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-0. . The house that Ruth built and MacPhail bought opened its doors at 5:45 p. m. last gloam ing to a paid attendance of only 6622 for tne first of a series of tarry MacPhail experiments. Those in the know claimed the MacPhail influence 'at last was to be felt in the haunts of the conservative New York club that always looked down its Hottest Row Seen In 4th Place Fight ; Three California Clubs Tied In Number Four After '. Tuesday Night Ball Tilts By Th. Associated Press -Hottest battle of the Pacific Coast league was centered tem porarily on' fourth place today as. three California clubs were tied for that spot following last night's games. -. A loss by San Diego and Sac ramento's win knotted them with Los Angeles, which was idle. Each has a .500 percentage rating. Oakland, in third,' moved up half a notch on Seattle, which enjoyed p day .of. rest, .while the league-leading Portland Bea vers ended a four-game losing streak to increase - their margin over the Rainiers to four and a half games. -Portland's 5-2. victory over San' Francisco was at the ex pense of Bob Joyce, the. Seals' star pitcher, who was the victim of poor support. The Beavers, trailing 2-1, scored four un earned' runs in .the last of the fifth after their first two batters were safe on bad throws to first. Portland's 1 e a di n g pitcher, Southpaw Roy Helser, went the distance and. received credit. for the win. The Acorns, playing on then home field, edged out San Diego 3-2 in a 10-inning contest, with young Vic Picetti, Oakland first sacker, again providing the win ning punch. . -The. Oaks, behind 2-0, counted once in the seventh and tied it up in the eighth when Scarsella doubled and scored , on Picetti's single. Then in the 10th with men on second and third, Picetti pushed across the winning run with a line drive too hot for the San Diego infield to handle. ' Hollywood lost 14-4 to Sacra mento for its 35th defeat in 50 starts. . The.. Stars took a two run lead in the first frame, but were unable'to clteck-the-Salons after a three-run attack ' in the third.

Storm clouds twice forced the umpires to halt the game. The second time, just after the legal, five innings . had been played, Coach Al Simmons of the A's argued so strongly with Ump Art Passarella that it should have been called earlier he was run out of the park. Only bright part in the Yank Slcture was the shutout spun by ank Borowy and Jim Turner. Borowy. troubled recently by a sore arm, developed a blister on the middle linger of his pitching hand in the seventh and had to yield in the midst of a four-hitter.. Turner; for- the seventh time this year, sparkled in relief but the victory went to Fordham Hank, his sixth. Rookie Catcher Herb Cromp ton. called into action despite a .135 average because of Mike Garbark s hitting slump, drove heme all the Yank scores with a brace of singles. It was his biggest hitting day in the ma jors. Steve Gerkin, an army dischargee, was Connie Mack's loser.. After the contest, MacPhail asserted he had grown luke warm on the subject of twilight games and. would have to talk thineS over with McCarthy be fore making future bookings in Yankee stadium. However, an other supper hour tilt with De troit may be scheduled for May 31. Night ball for the Yankees, a certainty in . postwar days when MacPhail can engineer the eauicment for his stadium with its envisioned capacity of 100,000, appears to be out lor this vear.- Althoueh the front office had talked about playing some after-dark ' tilts in the neighboring Polo Grounds and the Giants had expressed inter est, MacPhail said it was a re mote possibility for 1945. Twenty-eight arclight g&mes, 14 each-in Brooklyn and New York, are' enough for the city in Larry's opinion. Ail otner clubs were unscnea- uled, either, playing exhibitions or traveling preparatory to opening the second intersection al. series of the season. Br JOHN FOSTER .

'Jeep' Rated Gotham's Top Derby Horse By ORLO ROBERTSON NEW YORK, May 23 (iP) Un. til proven otherwise, Col. C. V, Whitney's Jeep must be rated the metropolitan area's No. 1 candidate for- the Kentucky Derby. In winning the Experimental Handicap at Jamaica's opening Monday, the son of the Eng lish Derby winner, Mahmoud, showed 42,179 fans,- much to their surprise, that he has plenty of speed as he stepped the six furlongs in 1:11 35 - to pay $30.90 for $2. v But even more important for a horse that is headed for the mile and one-quarter of the der by at Churchill Downs, June 9, he showed every trait of a dis tance runner. Bred to run far and fast, Jeep came off the pace to win going away by two lengths from William Helis' Greek Warrior, another off spring of Mahmoud. "I liked the way he ran," said Trainer Lydell Ruff after the race. "He trained well in Cali fornia last winter and I never let up on him after returning east early in April. The next race will be the mile and sixteenth Wood Memorial, May 30, and then, if he runs as I know he can. we'll head for Kentucky."
