Pace Set by Husky Youth

Faster Than Di Maggio’s Or Medwick’s. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 23. — The Major leagues realized today that an unheralded rookie, Rudolph Preston York, was stealing the home run show. Rudy, a 24-year-old Georgian who was voted the most valuable player

in the American Association while playing with Milwaukee last year, is smacking four-baggers at a faster clip than any of the famous willow

wielders—Di Maggio, Foxx, Gehrig, |

Greenberg and Medwick. York, who has donned mask, chest supplant Mickey the Detroit Tiger plate,

67 games, Di Maggio who is leading both leagues has hit 36 in 106 tilts. Breaking it down further “times at bat.” Rudy has stepped up to the plate 244 times this year and has collected one homer in every 10.6 trips. Di Maggio has had 442 tries and connected once in every 12.2 trips. Medwick, leader of the National League home run brigade with 27, attempts. Coming to the Tigers as a firstbaseman, York found big Hank Greenberg staging a miraculous comeback to hold his position. With the strong Walker-Fox-Laabs outfield combination, he wasn't needed | there. He was tried at third base | where his 209 pounds spread over a six-foot one-inch frame definitely did not fit. Cochrane's injury by a “bean ball,” forcing him from the game, and the subsequent failure of Hayworth, Tebbetts and Bolton to take over his receiving duties, gave Rudy his big chance. Bob Feller Loses York hit day, clouting the first one as the Tigers crushed the St. Louis Browns, 11-3, in the opener of a twin bill. His second came in the ninth inning of the nightcap when Detroit made two runs to tie the score Pitcher Poffenberger’s grounder after singles by Laabs and Owen in the 10th gave Detroit the game, 4-3. Detroit's double victory cut the Yankees’ American League lead a half game. But the McCarthy men still led by 11 games by licking the Philadelphia Athletics, 4-1, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader rained out after six innings of play. home run. Cleveland and Chicago divided a twin bill, the veteran Ted Lyons] scattering five hits to beat Bob Feller and give Chicago a 5-2 decision in the first. Feller was wild and walked seven men. Earl Averill hit a home run in the eighth frame . of the nightcap to win 3-2 for Cleveland. The Washington-Boston were rained out. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs boosted their lead to four games with a twin win over Cincinnati. Charley Root doled out six hits to take the first 4-1. Cavarretta hit a four-bagger. Tex Carleton scattered nine safeties in winning the second 5-2. Both New York's scheduled games with Philadelphia were by rain and will be played today.
