YANKEES TAKE TOP POSITION IN AMERICAN Yanks Trounce Athletics To Take Junior Lea-« gue Lead New York, Apr. 27. — (U.PJ - The Yankee artillery is finding the range. Opposing American league pitchers are starting to dodge and duck. For the * Yankees have cracked out 41 hits iu games, and are setting tie pace iu the American league. They lost their opener and then won three in a row , Connie Mack's Athletics came to town yesterday leading the league. The Yanks laid down a 13 hit barrage on Harry Kelley, one of last year's prize rookies, and Lee Ross, who beat them three times last year, for a 7-1 triumph The Yanks made a triple play in the eighth when Tony Lazzeri intentionally dropped Chubby Dean's line drive. j The play went Lazzeri to Crosett; to Gehrig to Rolfe. Johnny Broaca. the bespectacled ex Yale boy. held the A s to 6 hits and became the first Yankee pitch er to go the route. The Yanks', first three starters. Gomez. Pearson and Hadley, all had to have relief. Broaca, a Lithuanian by descent, learned to pitch out of a boys' magazine which carries a series, "how to pitch,” and keeps a diary on the day's happenings at the ball park and his impressions of books he heads, people he meets, and cities he visits. The Yanks lost another regular when catcher Bill Dickey, after ma If ng two hits, pulled a charleyhujpe in his left leg. Joe Di Maggio. who had his tonsils unfl adenoids clipped II days ago. is recovering rapidly and may be able to play by May 5. Pitcher Red Ruffing is still a holdout. The Yanks have withdrawn their offer of a $15,000 contract to him. The Boston RDM Sox scored a cqjjjly 12-5 victory Wver the Washington Senators. Bobby Roerr. brilliant second base rookie, was hit in the head by one of Ed Linkes pitches and will be out of action a while. Roger Cramer, Ri|* Ferrell and Melo Almada majJe three hits each. The Red Sox collected 15 hits off Deshong and Linke. The Boston Bees, who scored only four runs in their first five games, hammered out a 9-5 victory over Brooklyn. The Bees pounded Luke Hamlin to cover in the first, and continued their attack on Birkofer and Jeffcoat for a total of 13 hits. Lou Petti- St. © Paul rookie, was credited with the victory, but had to be aided by 39-year-old Bob Smith, who reliev- j ed him in the 7th and protected his lead to the finish. Babe Phelps, Brooklyn catcher, had a perfect day at bat with three singles and a double in four trips, and Gil Brack. Dodgers freshman center fielder, alsogpoled out four hits in five times up. — Yesterday's hero: Burleigh Grimes. Brooklyn's scowling pilot' who kept the flatbush fans entertained by objecting too strenuously to a called ball by Umpire 1-arry Goetz and was ejected from hisi second game in two days. ——o o j ♦ « Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ♦ New York. April 27 U.R>—“Oh i to be in England, now that April's tffere . . . ” Robert Browning dash'ed off j that line, and a very handsome line it is. too. But if Robert were alive today I bjlieve he would have written it this way: "Oh to be in England on any day save April 27. 193<.” That doesn't scan, you say. No, I guess it doesn’t, but it packs a great truth. Because on April 27th—today — Kingfish Levinsky, the mental rigor mortis, and Jack Doyle, the Irish thrush, come to blows in England, in what has laughingly been billed as (F prize fight. Any country in which Levinsky and Doyle are matched to fight is a sterling country to stay away from. Offhand, I would say that the best seat from which to watch a thing of this sort is a seat located on an adjoining continent. The only appropriate thing about this fight is that it is booked for Wembley Stadium. That's where the dogs usually run. you know. You may rest assured that there will be plenty of running tonight. The last time I saw Levinsky was In Chicago, a few minutes before he was scheduled to walk into the ring with Joe Louis. His knees beat together with the speed of a drum tattoo, his eyes bulged like I those of a bulflrog given to keeping tom-ism, and his ears waved ■ after the manner of distress slgi nals. In short, he was scared to ! death. And it took the threat of I a blackjack over his noggin to get , him out there with Louis. And . one minute after the first bell he slumped in a corner and, covering

Only j the ropes prevented this gallant underwater bid Finally Buddy Baer caught up with him and hit him with a v,icious right cross to the wishbone. At the moment of impact Doyle, with a great sigh, clasped his middle and dropped to the floor, claiming foul, foul. foul. This cry was taken up by Judith Allen, at that time his wife. Miss Allen, a movie queen of sorts, then staged a scene that would have wrung a golden bathtub from the eye of Cecil De Mille v She screamed. She fainted. She revived She tore her Uair. She—well, she acted an utt-y; damn fool. In away, I'm glad Levinsky is fighting in England tonight. It serves the English right. Sort of pays thenfc bapk for the stamp act they inflicted on the American colonies years ago; for the suffer iiiF Washington endured at Valley Forge: and for the burning of the White House in 1812. The Kingfish will avenge all that. Twelve rounds of Levinskv and the English will have paid for

BEDS TO RENEW PIRATE BATTLE Cincinnati To Entertain Pittsburgh At ThreeGame Series Cincinnati. Apr. 27.- Renewal ot the feud that started in Pittsburgh last Friday when pitcher Lee Grissom of the Reds and catcher Al Todd of the Pirates engaged in a fist fight during the ball game tietween the Cincinnati and Pitts I burgh clubs, will occur at Crosley Field starting Saturday. The Reds and Pirates are scheduled to play a three game series starting with the Saturday feud renewal, with the Monday game listed as a ladies' day. The Satur- , , day and Sunday games will start at 2:30. and the Monday game will start at 3. It is very likely that Grissom will be given another opportunity to pitch against the Pirates in this series. Lee looked very well in his first appearance against the Corsairs until the fists started to fly. He and Todd were both ban ished after the battle, of course. The feeling between the two clubs Is pretty high. The Pirates] don’t like the Reds' manner of! running the bases. They don't. like their rough play, so it's natural that there should be a feud between the two teams. There has been a drastic shift in the predictions of the baseball ! experts since the National league season opened. The sensational start of the Pirates has caused the realization that this club really in strengthened aud now must be rated as one of the leading pennant possibilities. Because of the addition of Ed Brandt and Joe Bowman to the pitching staff, the Pirates are regarded as having their best pennant chance since they broke through with a championship in 1927. j Fans in this territory will be interested in watching Johnny Dickshot, the spectacular rookie outfielder from Buffalo, who was good , enough to break into the crack unit of Jensen and Paul and Lloyd Waner.
