GIANTS CLIMB INTO TIE FOR TOP POSITION Take Double-Header From Phillies To Share League Lead N-w York. April 28 (U.R) All is right along the Harlem river today Beneath Coogan's bluff and through out the Bronx there is cause for shouting. The (Hants, on one side of the river, gave the Phillies the one-two and climbed into a tie with the sprinting Pittsburgh Pirates for the National league lead The Yankees, from just across the river, found the range for the ; first time this season and shelled the Athletics for a 9-2 triumph and hoisted themselves into the first division. Those spring time hopes , of Manhattan for another nickle . world series may not be day . dreams aftei all. Just as the ma- I jority of the experts predicted, the Giants and the Yanks are still the I two clubs to beat in the major league pennant races. The Pittsburgh* and the Clove-1 lands can have their spring spurts - the Cubs can command the headlines with their Dizzy Dean -the ; Washington Senators can stick around the top—Boston's Bees and | Red Sox can travel with fast company—but the Giants and the Yanks are still the two clubs to j beat. For the first time this season j

Meyer Ranks Top Man Os Indianapolis Race Ft z— INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Every time Louis Meyer drives in the Indianapolis motor classic another record goes by the boards. In 1936, the calm Californian raced to his third victory in the 500-mile race, repeating his triumphs of 1928 and 1933. It was a feat never paralleled in a quarter century of racing. Last May. Meyer was shooting for another victory, and the alltime competitive mileage record held by Ralph DePalma. Lou finished fourth in the race won by Wilbur Shaw. But he did not fail in his record attempt. He drove the 500 miles without relief, and now the official records reveal he has whirled 4,385 miles in competition at Indianapolis. DePalma had driven 4,061 miles, and stands second on the list. Meyer has built a new car and with it he hopes to gain his fourth checkered flag this May 30. His admirers are wagering that he’ll do it. though 32 other great drivers say he won’t. Dale Mankey Heads Happy Hoosier Club The Happy Hoosiers Boys’ 4-H Club held their organization Bieeti ing Tuesday evening at the Kirkland High School. Seventeen members were present. The officers elected for the year are as follows: Dale Mankey, prettident; Paul Worthman, vice-presi-dent; Carl Martkey secretary; Harvey Smith, news reporter; and Donald Shady, song and yell leader.

I cars, airplanes and motorcycles, I ' was back at the Indianapolis mot-j ■or speedway today supervising the 'conditioning of his speed stable, for the 500-mile race despite a narrow escape from serious injury, late yesterday. Thorne, making his first trial run in the front drive, four cylinder car he qualified for the Memorial day classic last year, crashed into the inside guard rail at about | 120 miles an hour when a chain , link on the rear of the racer > snapped, throwing it out of control. The trim little auto bounced off i the rail and careened down the straightaway for about 300 yards, before Thorne could bring it to a ' * stop. He was considerably shaken I and shocked by the crash, j Later he announced that his crew of mechanics would repair j the damage and prepare the cari for another trial. Meanwhile, two other cars, built, l in Thorne’s Los Angeles racing plant at a cost of more than K/.-, 000. are being groomed for trial spins on the brick oval. The young i sportsman said he has engaged Jimmy Snyder of Chicago and Ronny Householder. Los Angeles., to drive them in this year's 500mile race. Snyder holds the track lap record of 130 miles an hour and the! I qualifying record of 125 miles an hour, both set last year.

"SAFETY" BALL IS GIVEN TEST I 1 Ne w Lemon - ellow “Safety** Baseball Is Given First Test New York. Apr. 28. KU.RI - The 1 new lemon yellow "safety base- i I bull, tried for the first time in 1 ! competition by Columbia and Ford- ' ham universities, brought expressions of general approval from players and coaches today. It was agreed, however, that the one test was not conclusive. Neither the score nor the hitting gave any indication that the yellow sphere was of higher visibility than the white hall. Cjtlumbia won the game 8-7 with aslx run I rally in the ninth, despite being out hit, 15-8. "I'm inclined to like the ball.' Coach Andy Coakley of Columbia said, “but of course ons game isn't enough to decide definitely. Coach Jack Coffey of Fordham said he believed that the yellow ball j made no difference in the field, but that it seemed to be bigger than the white ball when they were at bat. It made little difference from the spectators' point of view. F. H. Rahr. New York color engineer. developed the new ball and believes it will give added safety ■ to the batsmen. "Yellow is the most visible color for a fast moving object,” he , said, “and the danger of a batter I being hit by a pitched ball should be vastly lessened." o LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct. * Lavagetto.
