Yankees Wrest American League Lead From Tigers With Win Over Athletics Cubs Take Seventh Game Without Defeat or Substitute: Chicago White Sox Drop Detroit as Bengal Errors Let In Two Runs in Eighth. BY JACK CUDDY I nilrd Prr* -tafT Correspondent NEW YORK April 26 —For the first time since last July 13. Joe McCarth; s Yankees are in sole command of the American League lead. They replaced the fast-stepping Tigers yesterday. Brilliant Infield play and ftmelv hitting were responsible for five victories in .even starts against the Athletics and Red Sox. Their pitching has been only fair allowing fifty-nine hits. Ruffing's four-hit game was

an exception. Rookies Red Rolfe at short, and Don Heffner, at second, displayed class, although Rolfe hit for only .200. And when Rolfc's leg injury kept him out of the last three games. Frankie Crosctti substituted so grandly that he may hold his old post for a while. Dickey, Chapman. Heffner, Ruth and Gehrig led the batting attack, while the infield helped out the 1 moundsmen with elegant double plays and all-round excellent support. Sox Shade Tigers Yesterday, for example, three double plays featured the Yanks’ 3 to 2 victory over the Athletics, who out hit the McCarthymen 8 to 6. Rookie Ah on Benton of the As suffered a base-on-balls complex in the fourth, walking three men in a row. These, combined with a force and a single, resulted in two runs. The winning tally came in the eighth when Babe Ruth walked and came home on singles by Gehrig and Chapman. Datinv McFayden pitched against Benton and Kline. Detroit dropped to second place when shaded 3 to 2 by the White Sox. who came from behind with three runs in the eighth and ninth. Goslin's wide throw to the plate and Frasier's wild pitch let in Hayes and Swanson with tallies in the eighth to tie the count. Then Hayes’ single scored Appling with the winning run in the ninth. Jones and Wyatt held the Tigers to six hits, while the Chisox made eight off Auker, Frasier and Marbcrry. Cleveland strengthened its hold on third place by walloping the Browns. 5 to 1, behind Monte Pearson's effective pitching. He allowed seven hits but ks-pt them discreetly scattered. The Indians nicked Blaeholder and Andrews for nine safeties. some of which were clustered for three tallies in the big eighth inning. St. Louis made three errors. Boston at Washington was postponed by cold weather. Cubs Make It Seven fn the National League, the amazing Cubs stretched their string of victories to seven, just two less than the modern major league starting record. They established a record yesterday for seven consecutive games without using a substitute, as 'hey trounced Cincinnati. 6 to 1. Bill Jurges, still celebrating the birth of a daughter, drove out a homer and a double as the Cubs made seven safeties off Derringer and Kelp. Cincinnati made five errors. Pat Malone limited the Reds to six hits. The Braves rose to a third-place tie with Brooklyn by beating the Dodgers. 9 to 4. after spotting them four runs in the first three frames. Hal Lee's homer with two aboard featured the four-run rally in the fourth that evened the count for Boston. The Tribe hammered Mungo. Herring and Page for twelve hits. New York at Philadelphia and St. Louis at Pittsburgh were frozen out.

Duke Ruppenthal Faces Finnegan in Hall Mat Event Pop-Eye Carlin Matched With Harry Burris in Semi-Final. A match for which Indianapolis wrestling fans have clamored since the participants first appeared in the local mat ring will feature tomorrow night's weekly show' in Tomlinson hall. It will pair Pat Finnegan, the monocled, marcelled British ‘ lord,” with Duke Rupp-n'hal of Milwaukee, both tipping the scales at 149. Both are w r elter title candidates, and each holds a draw decision with Jack Reynolds. Finnegan made his debut in the Tomlinson hall arena, several weeks ago and abandoned his usual clever ring style to batter Ray <Tuffyi Meyers out of the ropes with his fists, after Meyers refused to be limited by the rules and regulations. Ruppenthal also came here first against Meyers and lost, but returned two weeks ago and threw Tuffy. Last night in Columbus, 0., Finnegan pinned Jimmy Sabre of Albania and Ruppenthal threw Joe Snyder of Columbus. The semi-final tomorrow night will pit Johnny (Pop-Eye) Carlin against Harry Burris of Anderson, and promoter Jimmy McLemore has carded Dan Bray and John Purdy in the curtain-raiser. The main event will be for two-out-of-three falls, with a ninetyminute limit; the semi-final twocut of three falls with a forty-five minute limit, and the prelim a onefall, thirty-minute bout.

West Menaces Supremacy of East With Riskulus in Derby

•> .. , • .VVW.

BY MAX RIDDLE (Copyright. iS>o.. o. a f. Inc.i F'ROM the far west comes the most serious menace the eastern sectors have ever had to face in the Kentucky Derby. Norman W. Church's Riskulus has raced himself into such prominence as no western Derby candidate has enjoyed since Naishapur, the horse which finished second to Clyde Van Dusen in 1929.

Riskulus’ reputation was made in one sparkling performance the Agua Caliente Handicap, won by his stablemate. Gallant Sir. The plain facts of that race are I these: Riskulus, a very young 31 year-old. carrying 108 pounds, fourth highest weight of the field, set the pace for the entire mile and a quarter, and was beaten a nose by Gallant Sir in near record time. tt tt a AS a matter of record, the Church interests wanted to see | Gallant Sir score a second time in | the event, and had no w’ish to overI extend Riskulus unless necessary. It Is also a matter of record that his time for the event was faster j than that of any Kentucky Derby, | with the one exception of Twenty J Grand's mark. Riskulus had previously won the Agua Caliente Derby, beating Bisa- | gos by a narrow margin, and his 2-year-old record included an alj lowance score at Detroit, and a victory in the Burlingame handicap at Tanforan, a a a SUCH a record was not one to stamp Riskulus a coming champion. but it did show that he was a colt qf some quality. But unless his great race against Gallant Sir, a horse good enough to beat Equi- | poise on occasion, is too good to be i true, he has developed into the most dangerous of Derby contendi ers, even taking his recent defeat by Plight in the Texas Derby into [ consideration. But one may be a little suspicious of Riskulus as a weight carrier. What he will do when carrying 126 pounds remains to be seen. Plenty of horses have been tartars with featherweights up, but haven't been able to maintain their speed under stake weight. Also, Riskulus’ one venture in the muddy going was not encouraging. Apparently this fellow docs not relish the ‘ voup.”

N. Y. Boxing i Group Fails in Ring Idea Promotion Stunt Flops: Sportsmen Glad It’s Over. BY STUART CAMERON t nited Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. April 26.—The New York state athletic commission’s lofty endeavor to clear up the featherweight championship muddle is now in its final stage and all concerned are devoutly thankful. The project which originated in the mind of Brigadier-General James J. Phelan, chairman of the 'boxing board." has been an unhappy headache ever since it was announced. Fight as They Please Like many such artificial competitions this one failed to jell. The boys named by the board as contestants read in the papers as how they were in the tourney and greeted the news with yawns. They, went on to fight as they pleased, which in the case of the latter-day boxer, is not very often and not against a very good boy. The commission finally managed to-round up four hopefuls willing to enter the tourney and they were thrown into the Lenox Sports Club up in the Bronx. Although news of the impending mayhem appeared in generous quantities in the local press, interest in the doings was only a notch or two above zero. So low was the interest, in fact, that only 300 paid admissions were recorded and the total receipts were S2BO. Wires for Carfare Originally when six boys were scheduled to compete, each was slated to be cut in at 8 1-3 per cent of the net receipts. When the field was reduced to four the promoters made a gesture of generosity and raised the ante to 10 per cent each. Thus each of the gladiators got S2B for the evening’s work, and out of this had to take care of trainers, managers and seconds to say nothing of paying of transportation and hotel accommodations. One of the boys, Andy Martin of- the Johnny Buckley Boston stable, had to wire his handler for carfare home. The moral of the sad tale, of course, is that boxing commissions should not mess in with promotions. If the New York commission would content itself with regulating the industry in its own state there would be greater happiness for all concerned. WEAVER THROWS COHEN ' B;t T’jtited Prfitx FT. WAYNE.

Large Starting List Predicted for Kentucky Derby; Time Trials Fast

Bn I nihil Prcttx NEW YORK. April 26—The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs May 5 probably will be one of the fastest and most thrilling in the sixty-year history of the American turf classic because of the unusually large field and speedy time trials registered by eligibles. Several probable starters showed their class yesterday in trial gallops and in competition. Mrs. Dodge Sloane's Cavalcade, heavily backed for the Derby, won his 3-year-old debut at Havre De Grace in the

mile and seventy yards Shenandoah purse. Cavalcade equaled the track record of 1:45 4-5, finishing ahead of two other Derby eligibles, Mrs. Frank J. Heller’s Agrarian and V. Whitney’s filly. Jabot. At Churchill Downs, the Dixiana stud’s crack filly, Mata Hari, cofavorite with Sir Thomas in the Derby futures, justified her backing by going through a. six-furlong trial spin in the sparkling time of 1:13 2-5. Other candidates at Churchill Downs covered the six furlongs as follows: Dark Devil. 1:162-5; Norman D, 1:17 1-5.
