Joe Di Maggio, under one arm and the American league lead under the other, took his New York Y'ankees and headed west today after the most successful home stand in many seasons. Joe was all smiles when he bundled his tribe off for St. Louis because the Yanks had just routed the Boston Bed Sox from first place and because of the new "murderers row" uncovered by the Yankees in winning 10 out of 12 home games. Five New York regulars—Chapman. Dickey, Crosetti, Gehrig, and

Di Maggio ate hitting more than .355. "Climbing into the top hole means a lot to me right now.” Marse Joe admitted, "It meiins that if we run into a slump later on, we can weather it, then fight I back to the top." The Yankees clubbed out u 7 to 12 victory over the Philadelphia | Athletics in displacing Boston from the league lead yesterday. DI I Maggio pul the Yanks in the lead 'by smashing his first major leai gue home run in the first inning, 'and Bill Dickey put the game on ice when he homered with a mate aboard in the fifth. Buck Newsom showed a sharp return to form and blanked the Red Sox us the Washington Senators won, 4-0. He gave up only six hits. The victory enabled Washington to climb above the Detroit Tigers into fourth place as the Tigers lost a bitter 15-inning struggle to j the Cleveland Indians. Hughes triple and Pytlak's single did the damage. Marv Owen, who hit only two home runs all last season, col-1 lected a pair for himself yesterday and Al Simmons connected for one. I Chicago at St. lamis was post-' I poned because of rain. The St. Lnuis Cardinals moved lout further in front of the National chase by winning their third straight over the Chicago Cubs. 5 to 1, in a contest clipped short by rain. Paul Dean gave up only three hits in the five innings play-1 ed.. Paul Derringer, in his first pitch-■ ing role since lifting of a suspen-, sion incurred for failing to slide home last Sunday, blanked the second place Pirates. 6 to 0, as the Cincinnati Reds collected 10 hits off Tising and Swift. Bill Terry, playing first base again for the New York Giants led the way to a 6 to 2 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. Tony Cuccinello broke up a 12inning battle by driving out a i single to push the winning run I across in the Boston Bees’ 5 to 4 1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers ' Yesetrday’s hero: Roy Hughes of’ the Cleveland Indians, who tripled i in the 15th inning to drive the I winning run home against the Detroit Tigers.

BALL PLATERS REPORT HERE :! FORTRYOUTS Local Semi-Pro Nine To Play First Game Os Season Sunday t * Two former minor league ball J players, both residents of Cleve--1 land, reported for a tryout with ' Decatur’s semi-pro baseball nine 1 , Sunday afternoon. I These players are Pete Mihailo, an outfielder and Johnny Doljack. ■ a second sacker. Mihallc has seen 1 experience in the Central and 'j South Atlantic leagues, while Doi I jack has played in the American 1 ' Association, Texas and Southern ' i leagues. The Decatur team will be known as Mutchlers. A large number of Interested fans watched candidates for the local nine go through their paces at Worthman Field Sunday. The Mutschlers will open the season next Sunday afternoon. May 17. with the Garrett Shamrocks playing at Worthman Field. Several loads of dirt are being hauled on the field today to level the diamond and the infield will Ibe skinned an additional 15 feet to ( better playing conditions. "Molly" Mies, minor league vet eran. manager of the Mutschlers. stated today that the field will be in the best possible condition for the opening game Sunday. The entire field will be enclosed with a J large canvas. L -—♦ Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) Chicago, May 11 — (U.R) —They still go by the nicknames of Dizzv and Daffy, but those colorful handles no longer fit the brothers Dean. Dour and sour would be much more in keeping with the temperaments the pair of hominyfed right-handers are showing to ' the baseball public these days. I sat with them in the St. Louis dugout for a half hour or more be- , fore the Cards game with the Cubs ■at Wrigley Field yesterday, and ■ during that time not one quip, not I one laugh, not one playful gesture ' came from them. All ahout uh the rest of the Cards, the most boistrous gang in baseball, whooped and yelled and cussed, but the Deans, dour and sour, kept apart. They were particularly bitter toward autograph seekers, these, two who a few yeans ago auto- > graphed the toes of their own . w-hite shoes simply for the pleaI sure of writing their names. When one admirer, a bit more adI venturesome than his fellow box | seaters. climbed on top of the slug--1 out and stuck his head over the ' edge and waved a scorecard, he was greeted with a surly: "Go chase yourself! Cant you guys let a fellow alonei” ‘That’s the way to do it.” said Sour, formerly Daffy, as the fan. blushing with embarrassment. ’

ducked out of sight. "Those guys’ll run you nuts. They make me nick. People try and tell me it's those kinds of birds who pay us. I don't believe it. I get paid because 1 can get out there and produce. I ain't one of those glory i boys. I'm in it for the dough.” "So’tn 1.” echoed Dour, formerly Dizzy. "1 ain't gonna leave this dugout. Sure as I do there'll | be ten thousand of 'em hanging around up there saying 'sign thio, sign that, sign this." From down the bench l>*o Durocher called to Sour, formerly Daffy, to poll out that Lynwood King, rookie i enterfielder, who wa.s swinging in practice at the plate, was lifting his right foot , much higher when he took a cut at the ba,l. "He's copying the style of Paul ! Waner,” Durocher said, "and he's I hitting better." i I "Better quit copying.” answered Sour, formerly Daffy. “It won't do him any good. You can't copy your way to the top in this busi-, ness. You gotta deliver. That’s I all what counts.” "It's helping him,” answered Durocher. "Yeah,” said Sour, formerly Daffy, “if you can copy yourself into la three-fifty hitter, why don’t you start copying that Vaughan of Pittsburgh, and quit popping to! short. Durocher abandoned the argument. More autograph huntens stuck their heads around the corner of the dugout, and all were given the same treatment—a sort of bum's rush without the actual laying on of hands. I report this change in the Deans more in regret than anger, for they were sweet copy while dispositions were sweet. The Dizzy Dean who came xwaggering out of the bushes in 1932 came close 'to being your ideal ball-player.

- , Cocky, crazy, and courageous. h« just about had it all. And the > i same was true of his brother, • ! when he came bouncing out two 1 years later. They were a pair. I what with their antics and ability. Nobody expected them to stay | I just the same, when their namee •; began hitltng the black headlines. ‘ and the big dough began rolling | ‘ in. That would have been too ' good to be true. But they might ’ | have spared us this abrupt swing to the exact opposite. Nobody wanted them to hold plow handles I In their hands all their lives, but ' there must be a happy medium between a plow handle and a check book. ■ (Copyright 1936 by United Presa) —— Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
