ROOKIE LEADS YANKEES BACK TO TOP PLACE Henrich Paces Yankee Sluggers In Hattie With Athletics New York. May 17.—,<U.R> —The New York Yankees prise rookie berth, left vacant by Joe Di Maggio’s graduation into the second year class, was filled today by Thomas David Henrich, the Ohio boy who saw Babe Ruth blast three straight pitches over the fence and decided to become a ballplayer. t Declared a free agent this spring by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Henrich signed a Yankee contract. was shuttled to the Yanks' Newark farm club, then hurriedly recalled last week when outfieluer Jake Powell was operated on for appendicitis and Roy Johnson was sold to the Boston Bees. He stepped into the breach so capably that the Yanks won three out of the four games he played in and improved their American league position from fourth to first. This 21-year-old lad who learned to play softball in his home town of Massillon and participated in organized ball only three seasons before skyrocketing to the majors admits ‘‘l got a break ' and is out to show the front office he is a bargain at $20,000. the bonus New York paid him for signing. He played the major role in the Yanks' 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics yesterday, driving in four runs with a homer, triple, and single. The day previous he cleaned the “>aded sacks with a triple to give New York a 6-5 triumph over the A's. Henrich has hit .412 in his four ! major league starts, hitting safetly seven times in 17 trips. Four of those blows were for extra bases. Philadelphia dropped into second ’ place by the defeat, but they'll get a chance to go back ahead today before New York departs for home.
