Nats Crack, Bow to Yankees Twice: Meyer Sets Auto Mark _ -V -—-'-❖ —. >■ ❖-— - V. “My New Dodge Has Plenty On The Ball” Say CARL HUBBELL, Famous New York Giants Pitcher S___r FOLLOWS^] LOSS Harris Hands Hit Poorly, Lack Strength on Hill in Holiday Tilts. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK. May 30—Those twin evils of collapsible pitch ing and futile bat swinging rose up and smote the Na tionals squarely between the eyes to-; day as New York's league-leading Yankees, before a record 1936 crowd, decorated the Capital's diamond forces with a pair of Memorial day defeats. Behind the great pitching of Monte Pearson the Yanks won the opener from Earl Whitehill, 7-1, and be hind the even greater pitching of Red Ruffing captured the nightcap from Buck Newsom, 6-1. Their smashing victories elevated the New Yorks to three and one-half games over the second-place Boston Red Sox, who split their twin bill With the Athletics. The Nationals, muffing a chance to rise, won in only a single respect to day, and that was a box-office victory. The throng that jammed the Yankee Stadium to capacity totaled 71,754 cash customers, setting a new attend ance high for this season and taking place among the all-time big base ball crowds. Can’t Win in New York. pEARSON, registering his second -victory over the Nationals, gave up only six hits in the opener, while Ruffing limited them to two safeties in the nightcap. One was a single to left by Capt Buddy Myer and the other a whistling home run by Joe Kuhel. Pearson's victory was his eighth in nine starts this year, while Ruffing’s triumph preserved the Washington ball club’s 1936 record of not having won a single game in Yankee Stadium. For the first four innings the opener was a beautiful pitching duel between Earl Whitehill and Pearson. Both literally mowed down the batsmen, but once the Yankees found the range the Nationals dropped far out of contention. Pearson, giving up only three hits in the first eight innings and three more in the ninth, easily was the master of the Griffs. He walked four batters, but he fanned eight, twice striking out the side. The New Yorkers socked Whitehill and Monte Weaver, his unsuccessful suc • eessor, for 14 blows. Gehrig Breaks Ice. T OU GEHRIG, after Whitehill had *■"* faced only 11 batters in the first three and two-thirds innings, broke the ice in the fourth frame by bang ing out a home run after Rolfe and Di Maggio meekly had rolled out. Lou's seventh homer sailed into the center field bleachers. The Nationals didn’t stay behind long. In the fifth Clif Bolton dou bled to start things, and moved to third on Whitehill’s sacrifice. When Jake Powell inserted his first hit in his last nine times at bat, Bolton scored. The attack died here, but it looked, indeed, as though the Har rismen were going to have much to •ay. This suspicion promptly was blown to bits by the Yankees. In their half of the fifth they fell upon Mr. White hill with great gusto to boost the score to 4-1. The ingredients used in the rally were successive singles by Laz reri and Glenn, a sacrifice by Pear son, a single by Crosetti and a dou ble by Rolfe. Weaver Mark for Yanks. \VTHEN the Washington seventh rolled around Whitehill left the premises in favor of Pinch-Hitter Dee Miles, and if the Yanks had found Earl easy toward the close of his term they found Weaver easier. Monte gave up four hits in the sev enth inning and the Yanks scored two runs to make it 6 to 1. In the eighth they added their seventh and final run. The Nationals, in their half of the ninth, managed to stir up what bore a resemblance to a rally, but outside of accumulating as many hits as they got off Pearson in the first eight rounds, it meant nothing. With one down, Kuhel, Red Kress and Bolton singled in succession to fill the bases, but Pinch-Hitter Jesse Hill lifted a short fly to Chapman and PoweU hoisted to Di Maggio to end it all. The nightcap was strikingly sim ilar to the first game, in that Wash ington's bats weren't hitting anything and the Yankees’ sticks, after early meekness, were socking everything that came over the plate. For three innings the second tilt was a pretty struggle between Newsom and Ruf fing. Then Newsom, like Whitehill, folded up, and Ruffing, like Pearson, kept right on curving ’em. The Yanks slapped Buck and Fred Marberry for 12 safeties. Di Maggio Starts Trouble. T~\ESPITE a double by Di Maggio in the first inning and a triple by Selkirk In the second, it was not until the fourth that New York got around to scoring. But when they did the Yanks struck sharply. Di Maggio started Newsom’s down fall by opening the fourth with a dou ble. He scored as Gehrig singled, and when Selkirk parked a drive into the bleachers, the score was 3-0, and still the Yanks weren’t finished. Chap man, next up, doubled, and Lazzerl provided the fifth straight hit to count Ben. In the fifth Kuhel raised a faint vestige of hope in the Capital contin gent when, with one down, he rapped a pitch by Ruffing into the right-field pews. It developed, however, that it merely was a lapse on Ruffing’s part and not a sign of his weakening, for Red resumed his habit of mowing down the Griffs thereafter. After the Yanks got that run by Kuhel back in their fifth, cm a double by Di Maggio and a single by Geh rig, the forlorn figure of Mr. Newsom departed for the showers and Mar berry came in to pitch. Fred, after being nicked for a homer by Crosetti in the seventh, was removed for Finch-Hitter Jesse Hill in the Wash ington eighth, and Pete Appleton worked the final frame. GET HOWARD LETTERS. Capt.

The car driven by Stapp. tearing along the back stretch at terrific speed, broke a rear axle, forcing him out of the race. Shaw had to stop at the pits to replenish his fuel supply and then Meyer bounded into the lead. He retained it for only a short time, however, when he was forced to stop feu* gasoline.

When he brought his car to a stop there was a pint and a half of fuel in his tank and three gallons in bis pits. His face smeared with grease, Meyer said today's race was the mo6t enjoy able in which he ever participated because he did not know until the flnisfti that he was going to triumph. Record Crowd Watches. 'T'HE record-breaking crowd of 166, 000 spectators, lured to the track as a result of 31 tragic deaths since racing was started in 1908, saw only one accident today. A1 Miller of De troit sustained a fractured left leg. Roaring down the stretch in full sight of thousands of spectators in the stands lining the track, he was injured when the front axle broke and his speeding car cracked into a guard rail. The car swerved back onto the course with Miller’s mechanic. Jimmy Jackson, Indianapolis, still sitting in it. The race was immediately slowed down to 60 miles an hour while the wrecked car was hauled off the course. Jackson jumped to safety. Miller was thrown out of the car and slid acroef the track. The car smashed into the guard rail with terrific force, with a piece of the rail piercing the hood and shooting back almost to the seats. Miller lo6t part of his left leg in a motor cycle accident several years ago and today's fracture was on the same member. “I’m pretty lucky,” he said as he was being lifted into an ambulance. “I just broke my ‘wooden leg,”* he said. The fracture was betvfcen the knee and the hip and may necessitate fur ther amputation. Only Mishap of Race. 'T'HAT was the only accident of the 1 race and the safety of the newly constructed turns, guarded with re taining walls, was proven. It was the first time in years that the race was run without a death or a serious accident. The "tough luck” driver of the race was William (Shorty) Cantlon of De troit, who was never out of fifth place and always a dangerous challenger after the first 100 miles had been reeled oil. With only seven lap6 to go and clinging tenaciously to third place. Cantlon ran out of gas. Misfortune eliminated the pre-race favorites early. Wild BUI Cummings Qf Indianapolis, winner of the race in 1934, never started. His car balked as the starting field roared away, due to his clutch sticking. He worked frantically over it for half an hour while the other drivers roared on, but could not get it started. Then he quit in despair. Youthful Rex Mays, the 23-year-old blond boy from Los Angeles, one of the pre-race favorites, shot into the lead at the start- but after leading for 13 laps was forced into the pits by motor trouble, and finally ran out of gas In the final stages of the race after he had worked himself back Into sixth position. Freddy Frame. Los Angeles, winner in 1932. surrendered after 7^2 miles, due to a broken spring. Rides in New Aut*. A/f EYER, after changing his clothes, rode away from the track in a brand-new car presented him. Mrs. Meyer was at the wheel. An attrac tive blond of 31, married for 10 years to the new champion, said she “didn’t mind if Louie continued to race as long as he won.” “I was excited from the start, but I knew he would win this time," she said. Their son. Louis, jr.. 5 years old, re mained home in California while his daddy was hanging up the triple vic tory. The car Mrs. Meyer drove Louis back to his hotel in was the pace car which her husband had won as the leader of the 200th lap. In the back seat was Meyer's hys terical mechanic and his girl friend.
