YANKEES SCORE EIGHT RUNS IN : NINTH TO WIN 1 Win Two Games Wednes- ■> day In Ninth; Cubs Beat Cardinals New York. Sept. 9. — <U.R) —The Yankees can’t be beaten — even I when there are two out in the ,; ninth. They have scored more . ninth Inning victories this season j than any other club in the majors. Just how tough it is to beat the < Yanks was demonstrated yesterday 'J when the Boston Red Sox took aj j. one-two punch from the Bronx, - bombers and flopped into the ( sec-| ' I ond division. In the first game the ; I score was tied 2-2 in the ninth with ; i two out but the Yanks won. 3-2. In I | the second game the Red Sox went j,' into the ninth leading. 6-1, but 1 eventually lost, 9-6. Buck Newsom held the Yanks to : five hits until the ninth inning of' the first game. But when Di Mag gio and Gehrig stepped out of the I I dugout in the ninth, Newsom lost ' I heart. He walked Di Maggio and I Gehrig singled to left. He got [ Dickey and Powell out, but Myril I 1 Hoag singled to center, Gehrig, I scoring the winning run. The Red Sox almost had the ! Yanks in the second game. They I had shellacked Pearson and Makos- [ I ky for 14 hits and held a command-; Jing 6-1 lead. When the Yanks | , came to bat in the ninth Jack Wil-. ; j son had them eating out of his I hand. Then Gehrig strode to the plate. > ,He walked. Powell flied out but | Hoag walked. Then Glenn field , | out. With two on and two’out . | Don Heffner, a .250 hitter, came > i up and belted a triple to left, scor- [ i ing two runs. Bill Dickey batted ' I for Makosky and doubled to right. | (scoring Heffner. Crosetti rolld to 1 Cronin and it looked like the end. i But Cronin booted the ball and ; then threw it over Foxx's head for I a double error. Saltzgaver, who I ran for Dickey, scored. Rolfe walk- ‘ ■ ed. Di Maggio cracked a single, , ( scoring the tying run. Al Thomas . canTe in to relieve Wilson, and then . Gehrig blasted homer No. 33. ‘ I The double victory increased the , I Yanks’ lead to 12 games over the . Detroit Tigers who divided a pair | I with Cleveland. Johnny Allen storied his 10th straight victory. 6-1, in j . I the opener, and Hank Greenberg 11 cracked out two home runs to lead I the Tigers to a 10 5 triumph in the’ nightcap. j The Giants maintained their 2% game lead In the National leaguei by outslugging Brooklyn, 9-7. Johnny McCarthy hit a homer with two mates on base for New York. ' Larry French ouldueled Dizzy | Dean to give the Chicago Cubs a' 4-0 victory ovet the Cardinals. The Cubzs’ southpaw held St. Louis to five singles, and fanned ten men for his 12th victory. Gabby Hartnett hit a homer with one on and a double to drive in three runs. In the other National league games Pittsburgh won a double-1 , header from Cincinnati, 7-6 (10 in- ; nings) and 8-2, and moved into; • third place. The Phillies and Bees split. The Phils capitalized on six Boston errors to win the first game, i 6-3, while Milton Shoffner. 32-year-> old rookie from Scranton, Pa., held the Phils to three hits in winning , the second game, 1-0. The Chicago White Sox crept closer to second place in the American league by shelling the Browns, 1-0. Jack Hayes’ three hits drove in four runs. Washing-. ; ton and Philadelphia engaged in ; two pitchers’ battles, the A's taking the opener. 2-0, behind Caster’s six-hit pitching and the Senators capturing the nightcap. 1-0, ' behind Appleton's four-hit twirling. | , Brucker drove in both runs in the, first game, while Travis’ double I and Sington’s single won the sec- , ond. Yesterday’s hero: Larry French, I Cubs’ southpaw, who hurled his (third shutout in outpitching Dizzy Dean for a 4-0 victory over the Cards. j*, * II Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) New ork, Sept. 9 —(UP) —If the utter foolishness of the All-America football team business wasn’t re-, vealed in its full glory by the game between the Eastern Collegians and the professional New York Giants last night, then I’m a twohorned I Ibex and should spend the remainder ?f my days in a zoo.

— (even listed with the “honorable ! mentions," Yet Kobrosky at Little , Trinity, and Smith at Little Buck I nell, have been playing football in I the east for four years. It is logical ' Ito assume that they have been bang-up performers all these years. Yet somehow they managed to escape the eyes of the All-America selectors. This seems strange, because everyone who picks an All-. America always inti educes it with a boast that no player, no matter I ' how obscure the college, was overb.,ked. Which, of course, is a laugh ; With so many boys -playing the' game, a selector is lucky to cover ( partially the ’ name’’ schools. New York hasn't seen a sweeter back than Kabrosky in years. A t-rrific runner, a good kicker, and a superb passer, He overshadowed I any back on the field, even the il- . lustrious Tuffy Leemans of the s Giants. And speaking of Leemans, ’i he was completely overlooked by the All-America boy? when he was ; a student at George Washington, j Yet 1 have it from Washington I sportswirters that he was every bit , as good fn wJlege as he is tcday. Smith was a great workman last night. His duty was to back up the line, ai>d he did a smashing job, making his more famous comrades 1 appear puny. He was all-over the [ j field, tireless, making tackles from , | end to end. The two most noted players on I the field were Kelley and Meyer, ( ; and the little soldier man was much ( I the better of the twe-. Kelley was ' inept on defense, getting knocked 'out of the way whenever the pros, decided to work his side of the line. And he was no scorching flame on the offensive. He misse<> a perfect pass that might have tied the score, and spoiled a beautiful quick kick > (by knocking it over the geal line I when even your Little Freddie 1 could have drowned it on the Giants I-yard stripe. The professional who most intri-, gued me was Tarzan White, lale of i Albama. It is reported that Tarzan turned down a good job in H.qJlywood (as a stand-in for a Gorilla) to accept the job with the Giants. He stands 5 feet 8 inches, weighs 220, and is covered with a luxurious coat of fur. Last night’s game was his first as a pro and he was very pleased with the Rugged manner with which the professionals played. "Everybody on this club is very rough and tough,’’ he said through a week’s growth of beard. “And I

THE FUN

1. In a room darkened so that you can barely distinguish articles, stand over or near an unlit light. Pick out some picture or object across the room. Turn on the light for 8 or 10 seconds, then turn it off. Try to distinguish the object on which your eyes were focused. 2. Place a match box or other small article on the edge of a mantlepiece or have someone hold a pencil vertically at eye level. Walk

hear the other pro clubs are even meaner. That's mighty nice, i There’s nothing I relish more than ( , playing for keeps.” Tarzan then explained that he I meant by "keeps.” Anything you ' yank off an opponent, such as an | arm or leg is yours to save as a i memento.
