Joe DiMag Steps Out

As Fielder

‘Races to Fence for 450-Foot Drive; Donald’s Streak Is Snapped.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Tris Speaker did Joe DiMaggio a great turn

when he started the controversy.

over the Yankee outfielder’s rating in comparison to some of the oldtimexrs. Whether or not Speaker made the crack that he could name a dozen

*“‘outfielders—Tris now denies he said

H field wall in Yankee Stadium yester- |

‘ day and speared a 450-foot drive by Hank Greenberg with one hand. It

was highway robbery of the rankest

sort. Greenberg probably would have made a homer if DiMaggio hadn’t caught the ball. The day before, DiMaggio made three spectac-

Speaker need not apologize for any part he played in commenting on DiMaggio’s fielding because the «old “Gray Eagle” of the outfield ‘certainly has brought out the very best in Joe. Now if someone would only make a crack about DiMaggio’s batting we might get a glimpse of a .500 batter. As it is, Joe is

to tell on both the ‘Yanks and Reds at fhe same time. The Tigers knocked off the Yanks yesterday, 7-2, trimming their lead to 7% games. It was the third straight loss for the Bronx Bombers. The Reds curled up again before. the Giants, dropping their second straight, and having their lead - shaved to 10%: games. ’ And to makeé matters worse from

“a Cincinnati standpoint, the club * officials put the whammy on their

It was the second time this season,

that Rowe had gone the route and
