Tony Lazzeri, Yankee third baseman, knocked three home runs Wednesday, when the American League leaders beat the Chicago White Sox, second place team, an eleven-inning game, 12 to 11. The Sox had an 11 to 6 lead going into the ninth, when Lazzeri’s third four-base clout tied the score. Coming from the rear in the ninth, the New York Giants hit two home runs to beat Pittsburgh, 8 to 7. Cummings knocked out the first one and Rogers Horsby hit his tenth of the year with two on bases.

Improved Pitching in American Loop Retards Some Hefty Sluggers. LAZZERI ‘STEPS OUT’ Tony of Yanks Gets Three in One Fray. v BY PAUL W. WHITE, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 9.—Although the current week has seen an epidemic of long distance hitting, the number of home runs so far this season in both major leagues is below that of a similar date last year. One year ago today 321 balls had been batted where they would do the most good. Today the season’s total was 312. Where last year the American League batsmen held the advantage, 170 to 151, the National League hitters now hold the lead, 178 to 134. Among Pacemakers Wilson, Hornsby and Williams, the leading home run makers of the National League, all are ahead of their 1926 figures. In the junior circuit, however, only Gehrig and Lazzeri of the five leaders are surpassing their marks of a year ago. Babe Ruth, whose eighteen homers j put him at the top of all the slug- j gers, had twenty-one a year ago. | Why the American League should i have slumped in home runs is not I self-evident. The same ball is being used and the parks have not been expanded. Perhaps the explanation lies In the improved brand of pitching exhibited over the circuit. Hurlers such as Lisenbee of Washington, Hudlin of Cleveland, Thomas and Lyons of Chicago and Moore of j New York have been working great- : er winders than were expected and 1 batting averages have fallen off thereby. Better Batting Marks At that the leading hitters of both leagues have better marks than did the leaders of 1926 on June 9. A year ago Babe Ruth was on top of the American League with a percentage of .389. Lou Gehrig, with .410, E. Miller with .397 and Bob Meusel with .392 are in front of that mark. “Kiki” Cuyler showed his heels in the National League last year with .371 and today that percentage is capped by Joe Harris, .437; Eddie Farrell, .391; Harper, .390, and Hornsby, .386. The greatest home run feat of the I year was executed Wednesday by 1 Tony Lazzeri of the Yanks, who j made three homers. Jack Fournier ; and Babe Ruth were the only ones | to make such a record in 1926, the Babe batting out his trio in a world series game. J. Doak Roberts, president of the Texas League, has dressed his umpires in white trousers, with blue coats, this season. AMUSEMENTS

Score of 77 Recorded in Times Meet Anderson, Manual, Shines in Prep Golf Match Play Under Way, BY DICK MILLER Match play in the second annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic invitational golf tournament got under way today. In the qualifying round of 18 holes medal play Wednesday at the South Grove course, some of the most remarkable junior golf ever witnessed In this city was dished out by the schoolboy golfers. George Anderson, a Manual student, carried off low medal honors with a dazzling 77 for the eighteen holes. The greens were fast and several of the youngsters were tricked in their putting. Neville Ewing, Shortridge, shot a fine 80. William Reed Shines Charles Beauchamp, Manual, and P. Bajt, Tech, both shot 82 and Bob Wenzel, Shortridge, turned in an 83. The score of little William Reed, Jr., 13-year-old golfer of School No. 60, was the bright spot in the qualifying play. Billy slammed out a neat 84 to gain sixth place. Os the complete entry list of 120, 102 reported to the starting tee. Several decided not to start after learning the scores turned in by early contestants. Five boys refused to turn in their score cards and another withdrew when his score was questioned. A total of seventy-nine finished. The thirty-two qualifiers for the championship flight shot scores ranging from 77 to 96. Four boys, Irving Dickinson, Tech; George Lindenberg, Shortridge; B. Miller, Shortridge, and W. Russell, Cathedral. tied for the thirty-second position with 965.

Consolation Flights They play off the tie early today, the three losers dropping into the Harry Schopp flight, first consolation flight, Schopp flight scores ranged from 96 to 101. The third flight, the Chick Nelson group, contained scores of 102 to 109. Two boys, C. Dorsett, Manual and J. Spalding, Cathedral, played off a tie today for the sixteenth position in the Nelson flight. Each had scores of 109. Parents were on hand to follow their sons in the play. As nws of the low scores traveled over the course, many older golfers engaged in play stopped and followed the boy matches Birdies and many pars were noted on the cards. Jarvis Praises Lads Before the start of play the boys gathered at the first tee for a short talk by R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, who praised them for their interest in the game and urged them to greater efforts. Match play in each flight will be eighteen holes except for the two finalists in the championship flight, who will battle thirty-six holes Saturday for the Indianapolis District Golf Association trophy.
