Yanks Smother Washington By 22 To 1 Score NEW UP —With a holocaust of hits, the blazing Yankees showed today what they thought of the Senators and their “tall grass” ball park after a 22-1 nearrecord victory they could have won in a corn field. - Their 28 hits were only two short of an American league mark bf 30 Jiet by the 1923 Yankees, and had not rookie reliever Steve Kraly yielded a run to Washington in the efighth, they would - have had a modern mark for a shutout margin. The record of 21-0 was set by the 1901 Tigers and equalled by the 1939 Yankees. >~Casey Stengel, commenting caustically that the rash of low hit games in Washington was because of the high outfield grass which kept balls from bouncing any distance. suddenly was aware that his Yankees didn’t care what was out there. And after awhile he must have wondered if the Senators had any outfielders. Yogi Berra set the tempo with a threerun homer in a five run first and before the bloody finish the Yankees had pounded out .two triples, three doubles and 22 singles. . Whitey Fprd pitched three-hit ball for seven innings but was so exhausted from his work on the base paths as he collected four hits, Kraly had to finish. He gave up two more hits and the lone Washington run as Fprd was credited with his 14th victory against fobr defeats. The White Sox, \ painfully aware of what was happening, blew up in Cleveland and lost, 7-4, tp go seven games behind again as Gene, Bearden threw balls at umpire Joe Paparella and his glove into the stands and faced a stiff fin% and suspension after Bob Avila was ruled safe at borne on a close play in the seventh. The Indians stormed umpire Bill McGowan in the same squabble when he calred Al Rosen back to third for trying to score while the rhubarb ’at home plate wak in progress. And in the next inning as nerves became more frayed. Owen Friend of the Indians got into it with catcher 'Red Wilson of Chicago when he was tagged out on another close play. At St. Louis, Ray Boone of the Tigers hit his fourth grand slam homer of the year to tie an American league n ark in a 7-3 victory over the Browns.* It was Ids 19th round tripper of the campaign. Three of his full production wallops were against the Browns. The Red Sox made ~i.t three straight over the Athletics, Winning 3-2 as Billy Goodman and Hoot Evers drove in the decisive runs in the 10th innirig and Mickey McDermott picked up his 12th victory. with help from Ellis Kinder. The Dodgers spotted the Giants a 5-0 lead then won 6-5 as Duke Saiider sparked a five-run rally 1 wiith his second grand slam homer in three games. A bloop single by Bobby Morgan, in the eighth produced the winning run. Second-place Milwaukee picked up a half-game and trails now by seven games by sweeping a double bill with the Cardinals 8-2 and 5-3. Ed Mathews set the opening game pace by driving in two runs with a pair of doubles while the Braves won the second game with two inns in the eighth on a double by Jim Pendleton and a scoring fly by pinch-hitter Bob Tliorpe. Robin Roberts became the first major leaguer to win 20 games. He hung on to the one board nine and driving in three runs as he delivered a key triple in Philadelphia’s 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh.

Detroit Lions Play All-Stars On Friday CHICAGO UP J- Whether an old pro can out-throw a trio of rookies may be answered Friday night when 801/hy Layne pitches for the Detroit Lions against Jack Scarbath, Tommy O’Connell and Dale Samuels for the 1953 college All Stars. The quartet will match tosses in the 20th annual scrap between the champions of the National Football and a selected squad of graduated collegians. The battle, though slated for television on 77 stations, was expected to draw more than 90,000 fans. Layne played tailback in the single wing formation at Texas before he took a short course in the “T” from George Halas and the Chicago Bears as preparation for his current chore as first string signal caller for the Lions. Last year he ranked seventh ”1 the league in passing, throwing 287 times, highest in the league, and hitting on 139 for 1,999 yards and 20 touchdowns. 1- , 'Scarbath, from (Maryland, O'Connell, from /Illinois, and Samuels, from 'Purdue, all rrnked among the top collegiate throwers last year with the .Maryland (standout running from the split T while other two worked the straight T. Against the Lions, the All Stars, under Coach Bobby Dodd ,of .Georgia Tech for the Second consecutive year, were expected to use both split T and straight T. Scarbath was the likely starter, even though Dodd has refused to pick his probable lineup, but the Georgia Tech mentor said he expected that all three of his throwers would be in the game before the first half ends.
