YANKS DEFEAT MACKMEN, RECAPTURE LEAD DIMAGGIO NEARS SISLER>S RECORD New Yorkers Leading Bj Margin Of Six Percentage Points Over Csr^'-r PHILADELPHIA, June 28 UP) As has been their habit recently, the New York Yankees won a ball game today, and this is what hap pened. Joe DiMaggio clouted a double and a single, marking the 40th straight game in which he has hit safely and leaving him just one away from the modern major league mark George Sisler set in 1922. The Yankees climbed into first place in the American league by a margin of six percentage points as the Cleveland Indians lost to J. J. Dykes' Chicago White Sox. Keller Gets Homer Charley Keller hit his 15th homer of the year, boosting to 23 games in a row the major league record in which one and, or another Yank has walloped at least one four-bag ger. Oh, yes—the score of the ball game was 7 to 4, with the Athletics serv ing as the Yankees’ victims. If the above mentioned proceed ings aren’t enough, you might also like to hear that Atley Donald, the Yanks’ pitching starter and winner, was given the old heav-o in the ninth when he put in a too vigorous "beef” at the way Umpire Bill Summers was calling his deliveries "balls.” Giving the A’s something to talk about, Benny McCoy whacked a three-run homer in the fifth inning to put the game in a tie at that point. This standoff wa3 immediate ly shattered by a Yankee run off Johnny Babich in the sixth and blown apart for good on Keller’s two-run circuit off Chalmer Harris in the seventh, which ended the scoring. Altogether, Keller knocked in four runs. The Yanks went right to work on Mr. Babich, scoring four runs in the first three frames. The last of these was brought in by DiMag after he opened the third with his double. His single arrived in the ninth hut di-’ not figure in the scoring. The actual deciding run, one that counted in the sixth, was produced on Bill Dickey’s triple and Phil Riz zuto’s single.

The rookie second baseman staged a one-man show to lead his Chicago matee to an uphill 6 to 4 triumph over the Indians before 13,000 ladies’ day customers. He not only lined two circuit drives, but Aleo got a single and stole four bases—including home in the ninth for Chicago's sixth run. Kolloway with an unofficial .168 batting average before today got his first circuit drive in the fifth inning to put Chicago only a run behind at 3 to 4. His second, in the eighth, knotted the count. After an out, Dario Lodigiani drew a walk and Luke Appling got his second triple to put Chisox a run ahead. Lefty Thornton Lee went the route for the White Sox, scoring his ninth victory of the season. He gave up eight hits, but was gen erally effective with base runners on the sacks. 3 CHICAGO— Ab B H O A Kolloway, 2b _ 5 4 3 3 3 Kuhel. lb--- 4 0 0 8 0 Lodigiani, 3b_ 4 2 12 0 Applign. ss- 4 0 3 4 3 Wright, rf_ 3 0 0 2 0 Krevich, cf___ 2 0 0 2 0 Hoag, if- 10 0 10 Chapman, lf-cf_ 4 0 12 0 Tresh, c- 4 0 0 3 0 Lee, p- 4 0 10 1 Totals - 35 6 9 27 7 CLEVELAND— Ab B H O A Boudreua. as _5 1111 Weatherly, cf_*51100 Keltnre, 3b_ 5 12 12 .Heath, rf- 4 12 3 0 Trosky, lb___ 2 0 0 9 0 Walker.

Fenelon Captures First In Brooklyn Handicap NEW YORK, June 28—(iP)—Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, the friendly little fellow who likes nothing better than to surprise race-going folks right in his own back yard, pulled another one out of the hat yesterday. Just a year after he sent Isolator out to whip the highly-regarded Eight Thirty in the Brooklyn Handi cap at Aqueduct, where he stables his string, Fitz did the same today with' William Woodward's Fenelon in the 53rd running of the same stake. Mrs. George D. Widener’s Your Chance wras considered so much the best in the mile-and-a-quarter that the 19,501 sweltering fans backed the big winner of the recent Suburban Handicap down almost to even mon ey. Fenelon was better than 2 to 1, second choice in the field of six. So. Fenelon, under Jimmy Sout’s handling, caught the leaders at the three-quarter mile point, passed ’em flying and won in hand by three lengths. Your Chance, bothered in the early going, managed to close only enough ground to finish third, half a length behind Arnold Hanger’s Dlt. The oldest European-settled city in the United States, St. Augus tine, Fla., recently celebrated its 375th anniversary. 3 . J i BRAVES OVER BROOKLYN, 3 TO 2 Dodgers And Their Kirby Higbe Run Out Of Gas At The Same Time BOSTON, June 28.—UP)—'The Brooklyn Dodgers and their high priced pitching specialist, Kirby Higbe, ran out of gas at the same time today, dropped a ball game to the Braves and sank a full gnme out of the National league lead. 'Bama Rowell caught hold of one of Higbe’s slants with a mate cn base in the sixth inning, knock ed it out of the park and enabled the Braves to come from behind to take a 3-2 decision, ending both Brooklyn’s six-game winning streak and Higbe’s four-game vic tory run. Since the league leading Cardi nals’ tussle with the Reds was rained out, the Dodgers lost half a game in the standings. After last night’e proceedings they had been half a game back. For six innings, it looked like the old jinx the Dodgers have held on the Braves all season. They had met six times previously and the Braves always wound up with a lot of fun—but a loss in th« standings. Today, Higbe gave them a run In the first inning, when Dixie Walker muffed Sibby Sisti’s fly for two bases and Buddy Hassett sin gled the tally across. But the Dod gers took command in the fourth when Pete Reiser’s double was followed by Cookie Lavagetto’s homer, and it looked like the same old story. However. 'Bama’s clout brought a different ending, and Errickson, allowing only three hits over the last five frames, came ud with his third win of the year. For Higbe it was the sixth loss of the 6eason against ten wins. 4 BROOKLYN— Ab R H O A Reese, ss _r—- 4 0 0 2 5 Herman, 2b_ 4 0 0 2 0 Reiser, cf _ 3 110 0 Lnvagetto, 3b- 4 12 2 3 Medwiek, If_ 4 0 2 3 0 Camilll, lb- 3 0 1 11 0 Walker, rf- 4 0 12 0 Franks, c_ 4 0 12 2 Coscarart, xx-_- 0 0 0 0 0 Higbe, p_ 2 0 0 0 1 Riggs, X_ 1 0 0 0 0 Brown, p_ 0 0 0 0 0 Wasdell, xx__ 1 0 0 0 o Totals _-_ 34 2 8 24 11 xBatted for Higbe in 7th. xx—Ran for Franks in 9th. xxx—Bntted for Brown in 9th.

Dixon Brooke, Of Virginia By FRITZ HOWELL COLUMBUS, O., June 28.—UP)— Earl Stewart, Louisiana State’s red-haired 150-pound junior, climb ed to the national intercollegiate golf throne today, firmly grasping as a scepter the magic putter with which he won the right to rule. Ripping two strokes off par, the straight-shooting kid from Dallas, Tex., turned in a 3 and 1 vic tory over Ray Brownell, six-foot three-inch Stanford sophomore, in the 38-hole champonship match to succeed F. Dixon Brooke of Vir ginia, eliminated yesterday. Freckled-faced Stewart, possess ing all the nonchalance of Walter Ilagen and all the shot-making ability of a Byron Nelson, started out the tournament by taking the driving contest, outhitting all the giants despite his small stature. Then he brefezed through the quali fying round in 142 strokes, a new record for the course, to take medalist laurels. Today s finals developed into a ding-dong battle after Stewart had taken a three-up edge at the end of nine holes. The Stanford ace cranked through for three birdies on the back nine, holing putts ot 10, 12 and 35 feet, to draw even at the end of 16. They halved 17, and then came the match’s big break. On the 18th, Stewart hooked into a grove of trees while Brownell was in the middle of the dog-legs fairway. Stewart’s caddy dropped his bag hitting and moving the L. S. U, youth’s ball about two feet. Referee Ted Payseur of North western University immediately awarded the hole to Brownell, who said T don’t want it that way. Let’s play it out.” They played and Stewart won with a par four, going one up at the halfway mark instead of being one down but for Brownell’s top flight sportsmanship. Stewart still held only a one up advantage at the 27th, but he took the 29th and the 31st to go three ahead. Brownell got one back with a birdie on 32nd. Then on the 180-yard 35th, Stewart holed another birdie to win by 3 and 1. PIRATES’ INNER DEFENSE CRACKS Approaches Two Major Loop Records But Club Loses To Cubs, 3-2 CHICAGO, June 28.—I*)—1T h e Pittsburgh Pirates’ inner defense approached two major league rec ords for activity today, but crack ed on two critical plays that al lowed the Chicago Cubs a 3 to 2 victory. The Chicagoans scored one run without a hit in the fourth inning— on a pass, a sacrifice and an error by Second Baseman Frankie Gus tine. Then they came from behind a 2-1 deficit to win when Pitcher Max Butcher picked up a bunted ball and threw it into left center for a two base error that turned one single, an intentional pass and a couple of outs into two runs. Vince Di Maggio hit his ninth homer as the Pirates totaled 11 hits off Vem Olsen, who went the route for his fifth victory. The Pirates’ innter defense han dled 21 assists, five short of the record, and the infield, witnout me battery, handled 18, three shy of the mark. The Cubs also had a busy day afield with 18 assists for a game total of 39, five short of the National league mark. The start of the game was de layed an hour by rain. The victory was the Cubs second in eight games. 3 PITTSBURGH— Ab R H O A Anderson, ss - 4 0 3* Handley, 3b- 4 ° 3 1 * Collins, lb- 4 0 0 11 3 Elliott, rf - 4 0 1 0 0 Van Robays, If- 4 1 2 1 0 DiMaggio. cf —_3 1 2 2 0 Gustine, 2b- 3 0 2 4 7 Lopez, c —-_- 3 0 0 2 1 Butcher, p_ 3 0 10 2 Totals _-_ 32 2 11 24 21 CHICAGO— Ab R H O A Hack. 3b- 3 0 0 2 4 Stringer, 2b —-.-3 2 16 3 Cavarretta, cf- 3 10 10 Nicholson, rf - 8 0 2 0 0 Dallessandro, If -- 4 0 12 0 Dahlgren, lb- 4 0 0 8 0 Geoger, c- 4 0 14 3 Sturgeon, ss- 3 0 14 6 Olsen, p- 3 0 10 2 Totals- 30 3 *7 27 18 Pittsburgh - 000 100 100—2 Chicago - 000 100 20*—3 Errors: Gustine, Butcher.

Prelim Casting Tourney To Be Conducted Today Winners Will Be Entitled Jo Enter Championship Event On July 13 The New Hanover Fishing club will hold its annual preliminary casting tournament at Wrightsville Beach this afternoon. Competition will include an ac curacy event and a distance con test. In the accuracy tests, the par ticipants will be required to make casts at stakes 50, 55, 60 and 65 yards distant. In the past a fixed distance of 60 yard was used for this event.

The distance event will be run off in three flights, with the tips used by contestants limited to 7 feet, 6 inches in length. The first flight will use No. 15 line or larg er; second flight, 12; and third flight No. 9. There are no restric tions as to weight of sinker used. The winning casters today will be entitled to enter the champion ship event on July 13. Plans are also being considered to arrange a tournament for boys and another for ladies.

WILLIAMS HOLDS TO BATTING LEAD Successor Must Top 400 Aver, age; Ted Still Going Strong CHICAGO, June 28—(A>>—It begin j to appear that the American League slugger who ousts Ted Williams from his no. 1 hitting role will have to muster a .400 averag.e a figure the Boston outfielder has monopolized for the last six weeks. For a time Joe DiMaggio threat, ened to begin a climb that w ould land him there. Then it was Cleveland’! Jeff Heath, and now it is Roy Cul. lenbine of St. Louis. Cullenbine, batting at better than .50-0 for the week, jumped from ninth place to third on a 23-point gain.
