Errors Mark |l Major League : i Games Monday New York, May 2*—(UP)—lt J was amateur night in the American league. The Yankees and Browns set the ( tempo when they staged a wheel- ; barrow pushing contest between , 1 blind folded players and a pepper ( game in which raw eggs were ( substituted for baseballs as apse- j lude to their game at Yankee ( stadium. Apparently, the players forgot to hear the umpire holler t “play ball'' and kept right on with , their Sunday School picnic antics j once the game was underway. The Yankees won, 10 to 3, with j a 13-hit display, but not until the fans had witnessed one of the ( weirdest games imaginable. A first inning three-run homer by Tommy Henrich, his eighth of the j year, was professional enough, but there was much that was amateur- ' ish thereafter. The Browns made ' three errors and two wild pitches, 1 the Yankees one error and one 1 wild pitch. In the fifth, Yogi Berra was ap- ‘ parently safe at first on a wild ' throw by Brownie third baseman 1 Bob Dillinger. Suddenly first base umpire Bill Grieve reversed his ' decision and called Berra out. Neither Berra nor first baseman Jack Graham had touched the bag and he had to hold his final decision on the play in abeyance until somebody touched the bag. Yankee coach Bill Dickey, try- 1 ing to explain the play later, said he knew neither player had touch- ! ed the bag but that he couldn’t warn Berra as long as Graham was ' closer “and still had the ball.’’ Seconds later Bobby Brown, who was safe on an error by pitcher Bill Kennedy, fell flat on his face between third and home, trying to score on a triple by Dick Kryhoski. He should have been out by 20 feet, but instead he and Kryhoski both scored when st. Louis second baseman Jerry Priddy heaved the ball wildly to the plate in the relay. Brownie manager Zach Taylor, who just couldn't take it any , longer, was ejected from the game , for protesting decisions in the ’ fourth inning. It was just as wacky in PhiladelI phia. The usually steady Athletics I committed five errors as the Indians came out of a slump to win , a 7 to 3 decision. Ken Keltner, . back in shape after a siege of Inj j fluenza, led the Indians to victory with two doubles and a homer. Ear- ; ly Wynn held Philadelphia to six hits. The weirdness reached its height tin this game when coach Earle Mack, son of manager Connie Mack, decided to replace starter Bill McCahan with relief pitcher Charley Harris, then changed his mind. But umpire Bill McGowan insisted he stick to his guns arid Harris came into the game and became the victim of a five run f Smith’s jEJEjIIS Phone 1834 1—

Joe DiMaggio Takes Workout Last Night New York, May 24 —(UP)—Joe DiMaggio today reported no soreness in his heel after his first workout in a New York Yankee uniform since April 11. But Mi Mag still hasn’t done any running on the ailing foot, and probably won’t for several days yet. ‘ The Yankee slugger took part in batting practice at Yankee Stadium last night before the St. Louis Brown game. He was so happy to be back in harness, even to that limited extent, that he continued whaling away at the ball until he developed blisters on both hands. He took four turns at batting practice, and twice whacked the ball into the stands. Cleveland rally in the fifth. Only one Cleveland run, Keltner's homer, was earned. Everything was sane in Washington until the ninth when the Senators blew their second straight game in the final inning, 3 to 1 to the up-and-coming White Sox. Cass Michaels hit a Chicago homer in the eighth to score in the first run off Washington pitcher Joe Haynes, who yielded two more in the fatal ninth. Randy Gumpert, who touched off the winning rally with a single, scored his third victory for Chicago. It was his sixth complete game in seven starts. He struck out six batters. Things were a little more orthodox in the afternoon (fames. Ellis Kinder of the Red Sox pitched a five-hit shutout, one of the best games of his career, in defeating the Tigers, 4 to 0, in Boston. Dorn DiMaggio backed him up with two sensational catches and Vern Stephens hit a two run homer, his 11th, putting him twoup on his closest competitor in the majors. The Braves, in the only National league game scheduled, took over sole possession of first place with an 11 to 4 victory over the Cubs at Chicago as Vernon Bickford breezed to his sixth victory. Marvin Rickert hit a three-run homer for the big blow as Chicago lost Its fifth straight. Yesterday's Star — Ken Keltner of the Indians, still groggy from influenza, who pulled the world champs out of a slump by leading them to a 7 to 3 victory over the A's with a home run and two doubles.
