CHAMPS UNABLE
TO BREAK SPELL
Lead Is Cut to 2 IL Games
as Paul Scores Again.
Yanks, Tigers Win.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TIME score of that famous
National League series,
the Brothers Dean versus
the World Champion New
York Giants, stood at SO in
favor of the eccentric pitching
duo of the st. Louis Cardinals
today.
Elder brother, Jerome H. Dizzv)
Dean, has beaten the champions twice
IN as many chances this season.
Brother Paul, younger and not quite
so noisy, outpointed them yesterday
for the third successive time. Together
they thus have accounted for five of
the SIX victories the Cardinals have
scored over the Giants in 10 games so
far played.
Young Paul perhaps the league
outstanding freshman hurler, has
pitched better ball games than he did
yesterday, but he was adequate and
earned his tenth victory against onlv
one oefeat. The Giants pounced on
him for IS hits, including Mel OTIS
nineteenth home run and Travis Jack
sons tenth, but the Cardinals pre-
sented his with a 1872 lead as early as
the fifth inning and ne staggered
through to win, 1871. Rip Collins.
Cardinal flrSt-sacker drove in four
runs with double and three singles
and scored three times himself
The Giants defeat cut their lea que
lead TO 212 games over the Chicago
Cubs, with the Cards another half
game behind. The Cubs benefited
by Lon Warneke's steady pitching
and won from Brooklyn. So. The
Dodgers wound up the contest bereft
of the services of Manager Casey
StengeL catcher Al Lopez and Out
fielder Ralph Boyle. Stengel and
Lopez carried an argument too far TO
suit Umpire Charley Rigler and we're
banished in the third Boyle suffered
a sprained ankle in the eighth.
