HITTING FE ATURES EARLY CONTESTS New York, April 19—(U.R) Terrific hitting has markeii, tW-opening of the major league pennant races. From pte way the boys have started pelting the ball it looks as if some new records might be established this season. Cold weal her in the east undoubted ly Is partly responsible for the in-! effectuality of the pitching, but 22 j home runs in 17 games played in the first three days have the statisticians and the "I-remember-when" men back on their heels. Six clubs which had remained idl' for the first two days of the season owing to cold weather and rain finally got into action yesterday, and the carnage was terrible. The lowly Phillies drove out three homers, and loath to the Giants. The almost equally lowly Robins made three homers, and lost to the Boston Braves. It takes more than three homers to a side to win a major league ball game this spring. Babe Ruth and Ron Gehrig, the home run twins, lost no time in getl ing into the swings of things, both; hitting for the circuit. The Babe's! clout came on his first time at bat. | O'Doul, who was traded by the Giants to the Phillies, drove two! home runs against his former teammates, while Charley Grimm of the Cubs slammed his way into the United Press' home run club with his second circuit clout of the year. Earl Averill, sensational Cleveland rookie, is the third major leaguer of the season to hit two homers, with the league pennant races barely under way. The Chicago Cubs have made 38 hits in the three games they have played, including seven two baggers and five home runs. That is hitting in any man's league, and indicates that Joe McCarthy's club will be hard to stop when the boys really get their eyes on the hall and settle down to work Hat k Wilson in particular has been a demon at bat. The advent ot Rog- | ers Hornsby, who was awarded the clean-up job, forced Wilson to take a back seat. “O. K. by me," said Hack. "They’ll be easier to hit when they get down to me. after pitching to Cuvier and Hornsby. I’ll bat fifth, and lead the league." Wilson has made a fair start. He got four hits out of five on Wednesday and three out of five yesterday, including a homer. Speaking of hitting Lou Blue, assigned to the lead-off position in the batting order of the St. Louis Browns. | made two hits out of four times up | in the opener, four out of four Wed nesday and two out of four, including a double and a home run yesterday. o YESTERDAY'S HOMERS O.Doul.
