CHICAGO SOX “ REAL MENACE New York, Apr. 19 — (UR) The acquisition ot Al Simmons. Mule Haas aad .Jimmy Dykes seems to injected a menacing punch iii.o Chicago’s White Sox.

Lew Fonseca s men clicked off 56 hits in five games for the impressive average of 10.2 hits a game. The Cleveland India:-; are their nearest competitors with an average of 8 6 hits a game. Simmons, Haas and Dykes are proving mighty useful. They've driven in ten. five and six runs, respectively. However, other members also are doing well at the plate, including Manager Fonseca. Ralph Kress. Frank Grube and Luke Appling. Despite comparatively poor pitchiig. which has allowed an average of 8.6 hits a game. Chicago took two straight from the St. Louis Browns, then lost two and won one from Detroit. Bucky Harris was given first hand pnof of the Chisox batting power yesterday’ when they smashed the Tigers. 12 to 0. Sad Sam Jones, the first Chicago pitcher to go the route this year, limited the Tigers to seven hits while his mates pounded Bridges and Hogsett all over Navin field for 15 safeties, including a home run in the seventh by Ralph Kress; five Detroit errors contributed to rhe victory. Continuing their show of strength the Boston Red Sox won their second straight game from Washing-
