If only first base is occupied the

in by smart infielders. By dropping the ball purposely a double or triple play often resulted, since the runner or runners, for fear of being retired, had to stick close to their base and when the ball was dropped were forced to advance. With the infield fly rule in vogue the runner, or runners, under certain conditions stated above, realizes the batsman is automatically out and they can retain their base in safety.

! New York, Philadelphia Clubs Slash Way Through Opposition. CLEVELAND VS. HUGMEN * World Champs Open Series With Indians. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 8. Fresh troops out of the West—the Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis

Browns —were outside Yankee Stadium and Shibe Park today in preparation for a direct offensive on the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics, who have just finished spilling the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers in the first spring intersectional drive along the American League front. From St. Louis to Boston and from Chicago to Washington the baseball battle-cry is “Stop the Yankees! Halt the Athletics!” Ray Schalk brought a young, hustling team to New York to outhit the Yankees in two games, get hit for hit in another only to’ go away with four crushing defeats. Mackmen Run Wild The Tigers’ three pitching accs—- ; Whitehill, Gibson and Carroll—un- | leashed their best pitching at the Athletics, but were clubbed for three I straight defeats by the lusty-hitting Mackmen. j Slowly but surely the American League race seems to be dwindling down to a two-fisted battle between the Yankees and Athletics who appear to have too much strength at all points for the other six teams. The Yankees and Athletics daily are fast slipping away from their rivals, only the Indians and Browns showing a tendency to date to fight back. To stop the speeding Yankees. Roger Peckinpaugh was to send George Uhle, who until last Wednesday was unbeaten, to the firing line. Uhle won four straight befc.-e he crossed paths with Sam Gray of the Browns who gave him a bad trimming. Herb Pennock, who had won four games and was yet to meet defeat, was to lead the Yankees into the opening skirmish against the Indians. Six in Race Interest in the National League pennant race continues to soar with six clubs edging their way into the race. In contrast to the American League, only two National League clubs—the Phillies and Braves—appear, at this point, to fall short of pennant possibilities. The New York Giants, still clinging to the slender lead over the Cincinnati Reds, moved to Pittsburgh for another important series. Although riddled by injuries and illness. the Giants are making a gamefight of it. Four regulars—Cohen, Terry, O’Doul and Harper—were out of one game at Cincinnati but the Giants managed to gain an even break in the four-game series.
