GERHIG'SHOME RUN IS WINNER New York, April 17 —(U.R) —Lon I Gehrig clicked oft' three homers I in ihe season's first four games. ' Io it’s a 10-to-l shot hat the | Yankees' slugging first baseman w'l not wind up the pennant race I as home run king of the American ' league. Jimmy Foxx, Babe Ruth. Al Simmons or Earl Averill probably will heat him out. because the Yanks of 1933 are so powerful. Yankee officials believe that if Gehrig were playing with a seccn ’ division club he might break I Rabe Ruth's all-time mark of GO . circuit clouts. They rate him the pro" est potential batsman in the I maiors —greater than Jimmy Foxx, j "nd the most valuable man in ! 1 aseball. But they don't figure , h : m to lead the league in home mn". simply because he doesn't I have to. However, 'they do depend on I Irm to win ball games. He's one I of the greatest “winning players'' of all time. Columbia Lou believes pomes are played to be won. He's 1 interested in scores and pennants, j I'e'll break his neck to win a g’me, but when its won or virf.»oi|v won. he’s the first Yank to take things easy and coast along. His clubmates have talked to h ! m many times about this coasting business, but Gehrig is not | in'crested in records. Although he's apparently trying to break ' Deacon Scott's mark of 1307 consecutive games, club officials are e-nfiden-t he would remain out of — 1308th contest if his absence ;

Bob Johnson gave the i A's their first run in the fifth with a homer. The Mackmen out- ' hit the Yanks 8 :o 7. but the New I Yorkers bunched hits and walks off Rube Walberg and Tony FreiI tas. Don Brennan and Wiley Moore pitched for the Yanks. Cleveland registered its third straight victory by humbling the St. Louis Browns. 7 to 1. This victory may have been costly to the Indians because their ace hurler, Wes Ferrell, pulled a tenj don in his shoulder and was reI lieved in the seventh by Clint I Brown. The Browns got six hits. ! while the Indians pounded Lloyd I Brown. Sam Gray and Jack Knott | for 13. Rain washed out Boston at i ' Washington and Chicago at De- ; troit.

GATEWAY LEAP TO BE REMOVED Indi napolis Ind., April '« — (Special)—Gateway leap—a haz.irdous hump in the bricks at the end of the home stretch of the Indiana polls Motor Speedway which has been a perilous hurdle for drivers shil l' the Hoik » s built may be iemoved for the Decoration Day race this year. The hump a real leap for life at 100 miles an hour —is the end of the , stretch and the beginning of the first turn and is located at the gate ' way through which race cars leave the track. Although drivers have thrown epithets of derision as well as their speeding cars at the bump for many years, there never was any real movement to remove it. Older driv- . ers looked upon It as one of the natural driving hazards of the most difficult speedway course in the land. “This is no cream puff race”. Ralph De Palma, who has driven more miles in competition than a.ny ] other driver, used to say, “and they hang a real purse on the finish wire for the real driver who can lap the course 200 times." So the younger drivers never complained. But with the first three cars to finish last year's contest breaking i, the record of 101.13 miles an hour held by Peter De Paolo since 1925 ! speedway officials decided that in ’ the interest of the faster cars some- , thing should be done to take off out ! of “gateway leap." Engineers now are surveying the' hump and will make their recom-! me: dations immediately. Some, drivers want the bump removed. 1 Others say it is an asset to better drivers and a handicap to less capable pilots and should remain a part of the historic brick course which has not been altered in any way since the first 500-mile ranjg in 1911.
