YANKEES MOVE INTO TIE FOR ; LEAGUE LEAD World Champions Move Into Tie For American League Lead i New York. July 5— (U.R) —The world champion New York Yan-: Itees were back on their old famll-| far stamping ground today—at the 1 head of the American league pen-1 nant race. True, they had to share the top with the Cleveland Indians, but it I was like coming back home for the I McCarthymen who have held a I virtual monopoly on first position for the last two seasons. Until today, the Yanks hadn’t been in first place but once this year and that was on May 11 when they held a half game lead over Washington. The Senators took over the lead the next day and Boston came to the top two days later to hold it until the 19th when the Indians moved in. At times the tribe’s margin dwindled to n half-game and at other times was up ns much as ■ 4’;.. It began to go down steadily I on June 25th when the Yankees , began a nine-game winning streak f that wasn't broken until yesterday when they were held to a 13-jnningi 4- tie by the Washington Senators ■ in the second game of a double-, header. The Yankees had taken the first game 10-5 although Red Ruffing had to be relieved in the seventh. It was the first time a Yankee pitcher had failed to go the route since their winning streak began. It looked like Bump Hadley was going to pitch the Yanks into undisputed lead of the league when he wont into the last half of the ninth with a 4-2 lead, hut the Sen-. ators put on a two-run uprising to create a 4-4 deadlock that never i was broken. The game had to be called on account of darkness. The single victory allowed the Yankees to gain 1% games on the Indians who were knocked over twice by the Detroit Tigers, victims ot three straight defeats by the last-place St. Louis Browns before the Cleveland series began. ' The Tigers won yesterday 7-3 and 5- Elden Auker outpitcher Bob Feller in the opener, limiting the Indians to six hits, and Harry Eisenstat turned in a fivehit performance for the nightcap victory. ‘ The Boston Red Sox pulled to J within 2% games ot the tied leaders when they bumped the Philadelphia Athletics 8-5 and 5-2. Fritz , Osterinuller scattered 10 hits to the ; A's in the first game as his mates I pounded two pitchers for 15. In the second, young Jim Bagby scored his sixth victory by distributing 10. The Chicago White Sox took two from the St. Louis Browns. 5-4 and | 5-1, Johnny Whitehead going the I route to win the opener, and Jack , Knott turning in a six-hit performance in the second. The New York Giants retained : their game lead in the National j league by blasting the Brooklyn! Dodgers, 3-0 and 16-1. Hal Schumacher pitched a six-hitter in the first and Castleman a seven-hitter in the second. The Giants collected five home runs, Dick Bartell clouting one in each game. The second place Pittsburgh I Pirates also won a pair. 2-1 and 3-2. over Cincinnati. It ran their winning streak to seven and gave I them 23 victories in their last 31 games. Blanton and Swift went the route to score for the Pirates. The double defeat dropped the Reds eight games from the top. Chicago and St. Louis divided a pair by identical scores, 4-3. A three run rally in the eighth gave the Cubs the opener and a four run rally in the eighth gave the Cards the nightcap. Boston and Philadelphia also split, the Bees pounding out 14 hits 4o win the first 10-5, and the Phils coming back with a 10-hit attack ( to take the finale, 10-2. Yesterday’s hero: Dick Bartell of I the New York Giants who hit two home runs, and three singles, to bat in eight runs. —o Truck-load of Raspberries Wednesday morning. Home Grocery. »—

VANDER MEER, GOMEZ SLATED TO START GAME I All-Star Tilt To Be Held At Cincinnati Wednesday Afternoon Cincinnati, July 5. —(U.PJ—A kid who never saw an all-star game against a veteran who’s taken part in four of the five games played will be the pitching lineup at the start of the sixth annual all-star game between the National and American leagues tomorrow. The game, starting at 1:30 p. m. CST„ will be witnessed by a capacity | crowd of 32,OO(). Twice that num-1 ber tried to get tickets and failed. The kid is Johnny Vander Meer, ' Cincinnati's storybook southpaw who made baseball history with twin no-hit, no-run games and he'll be the National league’s starting pitcher. Opposing him will be Lefty Gomez, Yankees' veteran who has started four of the five previous all-tar games for the American league. Only time he missed was when Lefty Grove drew the honor in 1936. Last year Gomez start-' ed in Washington and held the National league scoreless and yielded only one single in his 3inning stit. With Vander Meer and Gomez

starting and two other southpaws,; Carl Hubbell of the Giants and Ijefty Grove of the Red Sox, bulled l for duty later, the pitching end of the all-star game will have a decided left-handed tinge. Hubbell, who performed the almost unbelievable feat of fanning ' five of the greatest hitters in modern times, Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx,, Simmons and Cronin, in success- ; ion in the 1934 game, is likely to [follow Vand Meer. He has a score to settle with the American leaguers for the buffeting they gave him in the all-star game at Washington last year and the game he lost to the Yanks in the 1937 world series. King Carl pitched his 201st victory against Brooklyn Saturday and is ready for action. Who follows Hubbell is guesswork but it likely will be Bill Lee of the Cubs or Jim Turner of the Bees, i both righthanders. Either Grove, who scored his 12th victory of the season yester'day against the Athletics, or Johnny Allen, who hung up his 12th straight triumph with a 7-hit job against the White Sox. are likely to be the other two American leaguers. Relief pitcher Johnny Murphy. manager Joe McCarthy’s personal selection to fill the spot made vacant by the withdrawal of first baseman Hank Greenberg because of an injured wrist, is likely to see service if the American leaside gets in a jam. The good Burghers here are all steamed up over the game because five Cincinnati players, more than any other club, are on the National league squad. Four are likely

Newest of the ersatz processes by which artificial products are substituted for natural ones, this discovery may have as profound an effect on the wool industry as rayon did on silk manufacture.

A. A. ALL-STAR TILT PLANNED Indianapolis To Be Host To All-Star Game July 14 Columbus, O . July 5 — (U.PJ — A finely balanced combination of promising young players and tested veterans today formed the American Association’s all-star team. The all-star team will meet the league-leading Indianapolis team at Indianapolis July 14 in the fifth annual contest. Indianapolis won the right to entertain the game by beating Louisville last night and thereby remaining in first place on “the deadline set for selection of the playing site. Os the 18 players selected by the league’s baseball writers' associate start —Vander Meer in the box, big Ernie Lombardi, National league's hitting hitter, catching; Frank McCormick, the first rookie ever to start for the National; and Ival Goodman, hard-hitting outfielder. Pitcher Paul Derringer is the other Red but he isn’t likely to see service. The American league, largely because of the power packed into its lineup and a record of four victories in five previous all-star games, again is betting favorite. The odds were quoted at 7-5. The only time the National league won was In 1936 at Boston.
