The victim of their latest up-
rising was Ceil (Tex) Hughson,
who had whipped the Yankees in
three Successive starts early in
the season and who was pitching
a 3-0 shutout going into the sev-
enth inning yesterday. ,
Then Charley 1 Keller hit his
26th homer and two doubles add-
ed another run in the seventh. In
the eighth Bud Metheny hit a
homer. Bill Johnson doubled and
Hughson gave way to Mace
Brown, but the Yanks kept right
on parading till they had pushed
seven runs across the plate.
Metheny, who had opened the
