DUCKY HITS HOMER AS Paul Dean Blanks Bees, 4-0 CHICAGO, ILL. The New York Yankees, still looking for their first victory as 1938 pen-n a winners, stretched their eight year record losing streak to six games Wednesday U'cking away 5 to decision to the White Sox. Three errors, committed the usually relia-b 1 secondbase combination of mikk rrukvhh Frankie Crosetti and Rookie Joe Gordon, handed the Sox five un- earned runs on a platter and ruined an otherwise well pitched ball game for Lefty Gomez.

Out Pitche Ie. As a result, Lefty, trying for his eighteenth victory, suffered his twelfth defeat instead. He gave up only five hits and fanned seven, while his mates tagged Southpaw Thornton Lee for seven safeties. Lou Gehrig connected for two hits, one a homer, in the seventh inning, and Joe Glenn hit a double and two singles, driving the only other Yankee run, but otherwise there was none of the feared consistent hitting by the New Yorkers. Gordon Muffs One.

The Sox got away in front with two runs in the first inning, and sewed up the game with three more in the fourth. In the opening frame, with the bases loaded and two out, Gordon let Gerry Walker's grounder go through his legs and bo runs scored. In the fourth, Crosetti's error let a runner get to third with one out. Then Gordon picked up a dou Die- play ball and hit a baserunner on the head with it. The ball bounced into the stands, one run came in, and two followed a moment later when Mike Kreevich singled to center, N.

"Cily of Los Angeles." Bulk and brawn dominated t'. squad, 36 strong, swung aboard the "City of Los Angeles" for their rush trip to the coast.

Coach Irl Tubbs, nominating an even three dozen of his players for the journey, selected 15 men who have won letters in previous seasons, T4 sophomores ana seven holdovers from other campaigns All told, the Iowa party num bered 44 men as the jaunt began, with coaches and university officials increasing the total. Hits High Level. The football fever hit a high level in Iowa City, before the Hawkeyes headed here to board the train. Jack Eicherly, captain of the 1938 Iowa team, ignited a monster bonfire to start the demonstration and the band, students and towns people split the air with Hawkeye yells. Men Selected.

"Men selected foi the tjrip were: Ends Erwin Prasse, Jens Nor-gaard, Kenneth Pettit, Dick Evans, Max Hawkins, Fred Martin, Joe Moore.

(ff) Ducky Wucky Medwick drove in all the run Wednesday as the St. Louis Cardinals shut out Boston's Bees, to 0, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. Paul Dean, in his second start since short term in the Texas league, allowed the Bees but seven hits, all singles. The second game was called because of high wind and rain in the first half of the third inning.

Neither team had scored. A base on balls to Stu Martin and a two-base error by Elbie Fletcher on Slaughter's grounder and Medwick's single accounted for the Cards' first run. In the eighth, Ducky's twentieth homer of the season shot into the leftfield bleachers and scored the two Martins. The two teams are scheduled play a doubleheader today. St.

George E. T. Eyston, Eng land, quit this shimmering speedway Wednesday and brought the high speed racing season to a close.

Because the giant "Thunderbolt" was crippled beyond quick repair, the lank, nerveless, retired infantry captain ended his attempt, at least for this year, to raise his world's land speed record of 357.5 M.P.H. above the coveted six-mile-a-minute mark. "Thunderbolt," its rjght rear dual wheels grotesquely mangled and fouled, ploughed through the northbound measured mile at 347.85 M.P.H.. despite the fact the car's rear was planing along the salt.

The game was the most exciting of the. tournament to date, producing arguments over close decisions and a tight pitching battle with two hurlers performing for each team. Chattanooga won in the ninth after tying the score In the eighth. Case and Rogers started the southerners' ninth with singles and Ronald Delahunt, lefthander who beat Atlanta in the final of the national tournament last year here, was removed. Marlin Denier replaced him and retired the next two batters but Hob Kelly singled to center to score Case with the winning run.
