YANKEE SLUMP WORRIES FANS Despite Long Lead, Yankee Slump Is Source Os Worry New York. July 14 (U.R) New Yorkers, although still confident that half of the nevt world series will be played on the bunks of the Harlem river in the "House that Ruth built." were apprehensive today lest the New York Yankees' week long slump turn into a midseason tailspin. They were still confident because of the Yanks' eight and one-half game lead in the American league, but they were fearu— because they remember the winning starts and the losing finishes that the Ruppert Rifles have staged for the last three years. The Yankees have lost five out of their lust seven games and the Detroit ligers are creeping up. On July 4th, the Bronx bombers were 11 games in front. The Tigers have picked up two and a half gamts since and today trail the leaders by eight and one-half games. New York lost its second straight -.■lies to invading western clubs , yesterday when Johnny Whitehead pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 6 to 3 triumph. Detroit gained a full game by bowling over the Philadelphia, Athletics. 5 to 2. The Washington Senators pounded out a 9 to 3 decision over the St. Louis Browns to take third place in the league. | Boston's Red' Sox tumbled from third into a fourth place tic- with the Cleveland Indians who won their second straight over the Yankeynten. 11 to 3. yesterday. The- Chicago Cubs took possession of first place in the seesaw 1 battle in the National league, three: ' percentage points over the St. I Louis Cardinals who were idle. The Cubs beat the Giants, 1 to 0, although Carl Hubbell allowed them only two hits compared to i four given up by Bill Lee. The sixth straight victory of the western road trip was chalked up 1 by the Boston Bees who downed the Pittsburgh Pirates. 4 to 1. , Fourth place in the standings was taken over exclusively by the (’in- ] cinnati Reds who snapped their slump with a 6 to 4 decision over the Philadelphia Phfflies St. Louis and Brooklyn played their scheduled contest in a double . header Sunday.

TERRY REFUSES TALK OF TEAM Manager Os New York Giants Refuses Discussion Chicago. July 14.— <U.R> lh ' New York Giants are playing »t< losing baseball that Manager Hi Terry crawled back into Bh « n today and refused to discuss why bis club is muticle-bound in th* second division. When the Giants are in stride, Terry is the first to tell the world. He'll even draw pictures to prove his point. But his staggering Giants, with a record of only one victory on the current road trip and floundet ing behind such impertinent teams as Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, just "aren't news as long as they aren't going good." "1 don't want to talk about baseball," Terry muttered. "There's nothing 1 can say about the Giants the way they’re going now. Just leave me out of it." In three games with the Chicago Cubs. New York didn't leave Terry much to talk about. Give the Giants pitching and Terry would bare tbe team tee * thought he had a year ago when he praised his 1935 dug a*t "the greatest 1 ever saw " l It because apparent in the Cubs series ending today that New York pitching Tiegins and ends with Carl Hubhell. The one good game they played was the day Hubbell pitch--1 ed and lost — on just two scratch 8 singles. Harry Gumbert, the 22-year-old ’ rookie, has a better won and lost average that Hubbell — 8 and 2 against Carl's 10 and 7 —but that 8 record doesn't tell the victories ’ saved for him by relief workers. The losing jag has hit Terry hard, especially since he finally had to bench himself .and face actual retirement as a player because 1 of an old injury. It's also hit the team's morale. 1 The Giant jitters broke out twice ’ in the last three days. Dick Bar- ? tell muffed an easy fly ball back of shortstop and gave the Cubs an opportunity to push over three runs after the side should have been retired. Even-tempered Hal Schumacher broke loose an inning later with a fiery display of temperament over the way balls and strikes were being called on his f pitches and he was ejected from s the game. 1 Both episodes were attributed 1 to "the shakes." ‘ “But just wait till the next time 1 my Giants come back to Chicago, Terry promised. “I'll have plenty to say then.”

AUTO ENDURANCE RECORD BROKEN Englishman Shatters At Least 20 Auto Speed Records Bonneville Salt Flats, Ntah, July 14. —(UP) —Capt. George E. T. Eyston of England ended a record smashing duel with time today, shattering at least 20 world automobile speed records including the 48-hour endurance record. Eyston’s time for the gruelling 48hour run over Utah’s broad salt flat speedway was estimated officially at 135 miles an hour, approximately 26 m. p. h. faster than the old mark of 109.89 tn. p. h. established by the Frenchmen, Perrot. Dhone and Girod, at Mophlekery, France, in 1934. Records fe'l like ten-pins before the onslaught of the Briton’s blunt nosed crimson racer, s.peed of the wind, which officials estimated had covered approximately 6,550 miles since it was pushed away from a standing start at 8:29 M.S.T. Sunday. At the same hour yesterday, A. C. Pillsbury, head of a corps of AAA timers clocking Eyston’s run, officially recorded a new world 24hour record of 149.09612. After completing the run which gave him the official world's record for the 49 hour test, Eyston continuued for another lap around the 10 mile circular oval to establish an American record as well. World records are made from a standing start.
