IN THE NEWS:
For the first time in the 20th century, the first two batters in a game--Roy Johnson and Rabbit Warstler of the Boston Bees -- lead off with HRs. They do it off Cubs P Tex Carleton.
In a 10-inning game Cleveland outfielders have no chances against the Yankees. In the 10th inning Joe DiMaggio hits a drive which 3B Odell Hale deflects into foul territory. One umpire calls it foul, so the Indians LF fails to chase after the ball. But the other umpire overrules the first, allowing the winning run to score because of the OF's idleness. Cleveland protest of the game will be upheld.
