New York Yankees Crush

By THE CANADIAN PRESS New York Yankees crushed the lowly St. Louis Browns 11-3 with an 18-hit attack Monday against three hapless hurlers. It was the only day game in the abbreviated major-league schedule.

Scoring early and often, the Yankees routed their one-time nex-nesls, southpaw Bob Cain, in a four-run fourth inning, and con- tinued their slugfest against righthanders Marlin Stuart. and Mike Blyzka.

The Yankees ripped off four triples and three doubles. one of the doubles was by Gus Triandos, 24-year-old rookie brought up from Birmingham, Ala., to play first base. It was the only hit he made in five times at bat.

Hank Bauer cracked two triples and drove in three runs. Phil Riz- zuto and Billy Martin got the other triples.

Held to five scattered hits through seven innings, the Browns jumped on Whitey Ford for all their runs after two were out in thc

eighth. In Monday's other American League game, the second-place

Chicago Vllhlte Sox remained fiVc
