New. York, Sept. 17. IGHLIGHTS of U.S. baseball games yesterday were Hank Greenberg's equalling the record of peerless Babe Ruth in scoring his 53rd home run, which led the Detroit Tigers to overwhelm the New York Yankees by 7-3, and a great display of batting power by Jimmy Foxx, who hit the longest home run ever seen in Cleveland, a drive that careered right over the field and into the street.
Experts estimated that the ball must have travelled at least 600 feet.
Another notable feat was performed by Chicago White Sox when they registered a dual triumph at the expense of the Philadelphia Athletics.
