homer as a pinch-hitter it made four home runs for Tobin in two days. ‘The National league record for homers in a season by a pitcher is six set by Prince Hal Schumacher of the Giants. Tobin needs only one more to tie that mark and two to break it, ' 17 Earned Runs

Tobin, a former Yankee, tied the game, 2-2, with his first homer in the fifth, hit his second homer in the seventh and his third in the eight with Paul Waner on base. Despite his great hitting Tobin isn’t neglecting his pitching and he ‘is a big reason why the Braves are in third place, only three and a half games behind the pace-setting Dodgers. Yesterday's victory was his fifth against three defeats—one of which was a 2-1 loss and another a l4-inning defeat in which his mates failed to score. He has allowed only 17 earned runs in 66 innings, 45 of which were scoreless. He specializes in a_ baffling knuckle ball and soft, control pitching. Brooklyn got back on the beam by blanking the Reds, 4-0, behind Curt Davis’ two-hit pitching. Eddie Joost and Mike McCormick produced a pair of singles, the only hits off the Dodger veteran. Johnny Vander Meer failed to finish a game for the first time this season as his Ebbets field jink continues. He hasn’t won a game there since he pitched his second no-hit game there June 15, 1938.

Frisch Ejected

The Cardinals snapped their fourgame losing streak by plastering a 9-1 defeat on the Phils. Lon Warneke limited the Phils to five hits

{while the Cards shelled out 15 with

Jimmy Brown, Stan Musial and Country Slaughter getting three apiece. Max Butcher, who beat the Giants six times last season, started it all over again, pitching Pittsburgh a 3-1 triumph over the Polo Grounders. Frankie Frisch was ejected “by Umpire Beans Reardon, making the third time the Pirate pilot has been tossed out this season. Rookie Johnny Barrett's double drove in two runs and did the big damage. Chubby Dean, an old Yankee jinx, hoisted Cleveland to within half a game of the American league lead as the Tribe beat the Yanks, 7-2.

five times last season, was driven

from. the box. Joe DiMaggio hit two homers—New York’s only runs.

Pitchers Parade

Buck Newsom's threat to rub it in on his old Tiger teammates again failed as Detroit slugged him out of the box and beat Washington, 6 to 2. Hal Newhouser held the Senators to three hits, one a homer by Roberto Estralella. Myril Hoag’s single drove in the run which enabled the Chicago White Sox to nose out the Boston Red Sox, 2-1, in 10 innings. Joe Haynes, who relieved Johiny Humphries in the ninth, fanned Jimmy Foxx with bases loaded. In a parade of 10 pitchers and 34 players the Athletics won their fifth straight, beating the Browns, 10-9. The Browns left 16 men stranded.

Yesterday's Hero—Jim Tobin, Boston Braves’ veteran who hit three homers and won his own game from the Cubs, 6-5.

Braves’ Hurler Slams 3 Homers

To Beat Chicago, 6 to 3

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 14—With a .407 batting average and five homers to his credit, Jim Tobin—Old Irensides his mates call him—staked a strong claim today to the title of “baseball’s hittingest pitcher.” The veteran Boston Braves’ righthander broke all home run records for pitchers yesterday when he clouted three circuit blows and led his " |team to a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

'Shutout Steve’ Will Chuck ‘Em Tonight

BULLETIN Tonight's Indianapolis-Louis-ville biseball game scheduled for 8:30 .o’clock has been postponed and will be played tomorrow night as part of a double-header beginning at 8 o'clock. It will be ladies’ night tomorrow.

«Shutout Steve” Rachunok, the only Redskin pitcher sporting three victories against no defeats, is slated to toil against the Louisville Colonels tonight in the third of the series. He is a giant righthander. It was “ladies’ night” at Victory field last night and it also was “gift night.” The home boys were in a generous mood and insisted upon doing things that aided the invaders, And Louisville evened the series by winning, 6 to 3. Both clubs used a parade of pitchers—four to the side. control on the part of the slab artists accounted for 17 walks, the Colonel heavers giving ine, the Tribe hurlers eight.

Colonels Score on Walks

required two hours and 30 minutes to gel it over.

Woodie Rich, Earl Reid, George Gill and Bob Logan; and for Louisville, Bill Sayles, Emory Rudd, Pete. Blumette and Andy Karl.. Reid was charged with the defeat and Rudd received credit for the victory. The Indians got off to a fine start by splurging for three runs in the second stanza when they knocked Sayles ‘out of the box. Jake Powell singled, Bill Skelley doubled, Gabby Hartnett doubled, Rich sacrificed, Blackburn ‘flew out and Rabbit McDowell tripled. Rudd relieved Sayles and there wgs no further scoring in the game by the Indians.

"Thirteen Indians Stranded

The Tribesters left 13 runners stranded to only nine by the Colonels, Each team got seven hits. It was just a dizzy night for the home team all around. The Colonels shoved over two runs in the third canto and scored one marker in the fourth to tie it at 3-all. In the fifth they grabbed the lead, 4 to 3, and then scored twice in the. sixth. Getting runs was soft pickings for the visitors. In addition to getting two forced in, they scored another on a wild pitch. Also, in the fourth, the Indians had g runner trapped off third and let him get [5 away and score when Joe Bestudik |S dropped a throw in the rundown. . Last night’s pald attendance was 2031. Feminine fans admitted on the “ladies’ night” ticket numbered 1539. Big league scouts on hand were Bill Hinchman, Pittsburgh Pirates, and ‘Andy High, Brooklyn Dodgers~If other “ivory hunters” | J were present, they did not make ¥ themselves known.

The Tobins Have a “Day”

Yesterday was a great day for the Tobin boys. In the afternoon, at Boston, Pitcher Jim Tobin of the Braves tore off three home runs. And at Victory field here last night, Johnny Tobin, Jim’s younger brother, drew four consecutive walks o| A fore Lefty Bob Logan, fourth pitch< er used by the Tribe, finally curved him out on strikes in. the eighth. Young Tobin, 21, is Louisville’s

is Johnny's first season in league ball. He i8 just out of St. Mary’s college (Bells of St. Mary's), the California school, where he was a star athlete. Johnny bats 'lefthanded. Brother Jim swing, righthanded. The fact that Johnny is with louisville places him in" the Red Sox chain, and some day the lad may be playing in Boston, too, but in a different park than Jim. (E.

Extend Player Limit Deadline

CHICAGO, May 14 (U. P.).— Major league baseball clubs kept their oversize squads intact today after a ruling extended the player-limit deadline to May 25 because of the large number of men facing draft

calls. The original deadline to trim squads to 25 players passed at midnight last night. William Harridge, president of the American league, said he conferred by telephone with Ford Frick of the National league and then asked Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis to permit the deadline extension. Landis, in the hospital recovering from a cold, granted the request. “Many of our clubs have players who have been called for physical examinations by the army,” Harridge explained.
