Beaten on Monday night under the lighta, the Yanka came hack In' the daylight yesterday to "lug ths Athletics to defeat twice. 21 and 10- •> The same club that covlf make only four hits off a pitcher (Henry Ftppen I who had never before won* an American league game collected 33 runs. 43 hits for « total of 87 bases and cracked two all t«me maJo. league records and one American league mark in the hat gain. The fans had a right today to ask “what kind of business Is thia night, baseball' There can't be that much difference in the Yanks from one g&me io the next so the answer must be the difference in night and day ball. Some of the old timers and diehards have felt for some t.me that night baseball had no place In th“ majors, and there was some definite evidence at hand today that the encroachments it's making are low-

Ry hitting eight borne runs In the I first game, the Yanks smashed th» II ecord of seven set by Detroit m I Mid and equalled six tlm *s (once last June 6 by the Giants. Ry adding five -more homers in the nightcap, the Yanka set a new mark of 13 homers in two consecutive game< breaking the old record ,(4 11 which they made In 1936. By making In the first game 21 hits which would total 63 bases. • hey set a new American league mark, surpassing the old figure of ■*>o which (he Yanits set In IMS. The homers were divided this way; firs' game Dimaggio 2, Dahlgren 2. Dickey. Selkirk. Gordon. Henrich 8. Second game—Gordon ;i. Croootti. Dimaggio, Dahlgren. Behind such slugging the Yankee wttchers had a picnic. Monte Pearson won the opener, giving np seven tails and lefty Gomes grabbed the second, yielding a mere three. It was No. 7 for Pearson and No., fi for Gomes. The A's hurlera in the first game i were Nelson. Beckman and Joyce. I The sufferers in the nigh'cap were, Caster and Dean. The “patched-up” Gian’s moved 'into second place by scoring their! fifth straight victory, 7-1. over tbej '•blllle. who the past two days have looked like the worst major league team in the last 10 years.

As he started to throw a right Louis snaked in close and pulled the trigger on his left hand. The hook landed with explosive force, and the flesh on Tony’s right cheek gave way as though he had been slugged with a blackjack When he reeled away under the Impact there was a split half as long as a lead pencil running from hit cheekbone to his chin. It bled badly. He didn't know much after that. His motions became slow, mechanical. as he bobbled about the ring with halt-closed eyes. Louis never allowed him out of range. He would straighten up Tony with an uppercut and twist his head about with rights and lefts. Suddenly Tony's weak defense crumbled and he swayed drunkenly. unknowing, uncaring, and a pathetic target. There waa the crack of leather against flesh. Again and again. You wanted to turn your head. Then Donovan Mid enough, and Louis had made his seventh successful defense of his world's championship. An i-.naxlug champion. Louis. In seven defenses he has had to tight but 84 minutes and 58 seconds of the 315 scheduled minutes. And more than half of this time was used In 15 full rounds against Tommy Farr. Nova will be next. And after Nova someone else and then someone else until, Anally, the years cut Louis down.

June 29 <UJD Tony | Galento. as game a guy as ever bled for a lost cause, chewed the | hitter fruit of defeat today and passed his plate back for another helping of the same dish. Still groggy from uiphamraer punches, barely able to mumble through the blanket of bandages on his face, his torn flesh held to--1 get her by 23 damps — the little ' barrel of a man said he wanted to i fight Joe Louis again. I Waterloo was enough for Ns j poleon; Caesar gave up when the | I first dagger sank Into him; Hannibal folded when the going got tough But. take It from Antonio Dominick Galento. they were bums —all three of 'em —t© give up because they had taken a licking "Bring on dat bum Louis in September!" That was the tired whisper that I came out of Orange. N. J., in Ihej early hours of today, and it came from the bruised lips of a first class fighting man who was within one split-second punch of being heavyweight champion of the world last night in 11 minutes and 28 seconds of bookalley brawling And plenty of people probably would pay to see Terrible Tony take another roundhouse awing at Ixxils' Jaw. but It's a sight that probably will be denied them for 1 ever Louia. going his even, murderous way. wants to fight in Rep tember. but he isn't interested in meeting a man whom he already has pounded to pulp So within the nev week negotiations will get under way for a September bout pitting Louia against young Lou Nova Tony will be left with nothing but his memories, the respect of all who saw him fight and bleed and the 45.000 smackers be drew down for his brief period of j ’ Pain It waa short and sweet up there under the lights at Yankee stadium last night, but whjle it lasted it was something to see Galento went down and got up oft the floor I to belt Louis Joe went down and , got up off the canvas to slug it i
