Nats Crack, Bow to Yankees Twice: Meyer Sets Auto Mark

“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.

earned about $35,000, of which $20,000
was first prize money, with the addi
tional coming from lap prizes and
checks from accessory manufacturers*.
He snatched the lead at the 225-mile
mark, when Babe Stapp of Lo6 Ange
les and Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis,
at that time the flying leaders, ran
into trouble.
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. He quickly regained it
and with a terriffic burst of speed that
carried him around the 2 Vi-mile brick
and asphalt track at a rate of 115
miles per hour he clung to the lead
to the finish.
nucu ttuuut «72 iuura itum me
checkered flag he reduced his speed
to about 98 miles an hour to save
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.

plenty on the ball,.,
• . . when it comes to saving
gas and oil. I’m getting 20
miles to the gallon of gas .. .

I have never had a car that has
given me such complete all

Thank you Mr. Hubbell!
You are only one of the
thousands of Dodge owners
everywhere who tell us about
the amazing economy of their
cars . .. who say Dodge gives
them from 18 to 24 miles per
gallon of gasoline. And many
of them say Dodge is actually
costing them less to own and
operate than any car, big or
small, they ever owned before!
See this new Dodge todayl
Drive it! Take the free economy
test—see how Dodge saves on
gasoline! Then you will under*
stand why more people buy
Dodge cars than any other
make with the exception of the
three lowest-priced cars!
