YANK PITCHER HOLDS SOX TO SINGLE SAFETY Monte Pearson Nears Hall Os Fame To End Yanks’ Losing Streak New York Yankees’ retreat was at an end today and the tnan who stopped the panicky flight came close to the hall of fame. MontA Marcellus Pearson, 28-year-old right-handed pitcher, in breaking the Yanks' four-game losing streak — longest since 1935 — narrowly missed a nonhit, no-run game. He allowed one single, luirry Rosenthal. White Sox outfielder, was the second man up in the first inning and he singled to right. After that the White Sox got only two men on bases, both on | passes, and one of them was nulli-1 ♦ — Last Time Tonight — Don't Miss It—lt's Glorious! •MAYTIME” JEANNETTE MacDONALD NELSON EDDY John Barrymore. 10c-25c Feature Starts at 7 P.

I tied by a double play. In one I stretch Pearson set down 16 men |in order. He fanned four men. Pearson was the Yanks' second i best pitcher last year, winning 19 games, but this season he promises Ito be their No. 1 moundsmati. He ; has won his first three games, j Pearson Is a mild sort of fellow, i He smokes a pipe almost constantI ly off the field and looks like a ■ collegian. He reads western storI ies, his favorite being Zane Grey, i Oddly enough, it was one of Pearson's pitching favorites, Ted Lyons, who bowed to him yesterday. Tlie Yankees 7-6 victory enabled i the world champions to move back ■ into the first division, tying with Detroit for third place. Joe Di Maggio hit , two homers and Selkirk one tor the Yanks. 1 Pittsburgh increased its National league lead to 21* games by a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bees. Bill Swift held the Bees to eight scattered hits. The Pirates won the game in the first inning, scoring three runs off Lou Fette. Clyde Shoun, rookie southpaw, halted the Cubs' three-game losing ' streak by pitching Chicago to a 4-3 victory overt the New York i Giants. He kept the Giants nine hits scattered and struck out four. Another Cub player joined the | casualty list when shortstop Jurges ! came up with a stiff wrist, mak- • ing six Chicago regulars out of the i game. Hal Schumacher lost his i third straight start. Van Mungo set the Cardinals down with four hits as Brooklyn beat St. Louis. 8-2. He fanned six i and walked three, scoring his fourth victory. The Cardinal defense again fell apart, with Cutteridge, Bordagaray. Brown and Orgodowski making errors. The Phillies pounded out a 10-3 victory over Cincinnati while Bucky Walters held the Reds to four hits. Whitney hit a homer and Browne. Johnny Moore and Hershel Martin hit doubles. The Philadelphia Athletics kept up their torrid pace by winning from Detroit, 95. Luther Thomas went the route for tlie A's allowi ing only eight hits. The A s knock■ed out Tommy Bridges, and con--1 tinned their attack on Clyde Hat--1 ter. Chubby Dean drove in four runs with three singles. Cleveland beat the Boston Red Sox. 6-5, in 11 innings and remained tied with the A's for the lead. Manager Cronin's wild throw let Cleveland score the winning run. The Indians made 17 hits off five Red Sox pitchers. The St. Louis Browns won front Washington, 6-3. behind the 5-hit pitching of rookie Julio Bonetti, who blanked the Senators until the ninth. Beau Bell made three of the Browns' nine hits. Yesterday's heros: Rip Collins. | Chicago first baseman, who hit a j homer will: Frey on base to give the Cubs a 4-3 victory over the Giants, and Monte Pearson, Yankee pitcher, who blanked the White Sox, 7-0, holding them to one hit. o LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct.

BLUFFTON NINE BEATS JACKETS . AGAIN MONDAY B 1 Yellow Jackets Fail To Connect In Pinches, Lose, 8-3 Despite being outhit, the Bluffton Tiger nine humbled a crippled . Yellow Jacket team at Worthman j Field Monday afternoon, 8-3. Playing without the services of McConnell, shortstop, who has an infected foot and Brodbeck, first- . string catcher, the Jackets garnered seven bingles to six for the TigI era but failed in the pinches. £ Schnepp, rookie first baseman, 1 was the outstanding hitter of the I game with a perfect record of four singles in as many times up. Gaunt, left fielder, hit two safeties in three official times up. Bleeke L rapped out the other single. Macklin, second baseman, continued his getting-on-base streak, , wnen he was hit twice by Beatty, Bluffton hurler. He was also hit twice in the Huntington game. Beery did all the hurling for the locals until Jim Highland made his initial appearance on the mound for the locals in the last frame. , Beatty was effective for Bluffton.

Saturday last was filled with gentlemen who wrote that when War Admiral whipped by the judges stand the winner. Man O’ War stopped munching grass at Glen Riddle farm, kicked up his heels, said "Holcha. My Boy." and hurried off to the corner drug store to brag about his offspring. . Just how Man O' War learned of the victory is a bit obscure, despite one fellow's explanation that the old horse is a personal friend of Clem McCarthy's and listened in on the broadcast of the race . . . my argument is that anybody who would eat grass and like It—is too stupid to keep up with th- racing news . . .

How many of the 75.000 persons who packed the Downs last Saturday really saw the running of !he derby . . . my guess would be that fully 10,000 never saw a j single horse take a single sten . . and of these. 5.000 never knew when the field went to the post . . the explanation is that there is room for only so many, and those silly periscopes the hawkers re- 1 • linquish for a dollar bill are valuable in theory only. . . 1 tried to peek over a man's head with one and all I saw was the reflection I of my own cat-green eyes . . .

MIES PLANS TO POT BASEBALL TEAM IN FIELD Decatur To Be Represented In Semi-Pro Field This Summer That Decatur would again have a baseball team in the setni-pro field this year, was assured today by Molly Mies, local hurler and manager of last year's aggregation. Mr. Mies called for local talent to report at Worthman Field Wednesday evening at 4:30 o’clock for preliminary tryouts. All local play ers interested in semi-pro ball are asked to report at that time. Several veterans of last year's team held a light workout at the field Monday night. Mr. Mies, in announcing Decatur would again be represented with a semi-pro club, stated that he was interested in affording an opportunity to all local men to try out. Several well known players in setni-pro ball are expected to be called here for the l team this year, he stated. Mr. Mies plans to go to Cleveland later in the week to cantact several semi pro stars 1 there, who are being sought for the local nine. The local nine expects to open the season at Worthman Field in two or three weeks, with several outstanding teams already booked. The complete schedule is expected to be released soon. o RETIREMENT OF CCoNTINL' EL> FROM JfAQB. ONEj might become a precedent for others. Departure of even a single conservative justice probably would retire the Roosevelt court bill to the darkest corner of the most obscure senate pigeon hole. Associate Justice Brandeis is 80. the oldest member of the court. Early in this session congress enacted retirement legislation permitting justices to retire on full i pay. 820,000 annually. The United Press learned today I of a campaign to. hold the court bill in senate committee pending court adjournment. Interested legislators said that strategy would avoid embarrassment for all concerned if the court problem ultimately is to be solved by resignations instead of legislation.

But those dlscussioits were prior to Feb. 5 when Mr Roosevelt startled congress, the court, uncl the country with his, plan to add six jualices to th<> ■ bench to supplant or assist the half dozen members who are 7o or more years of age.
