Giants Close in on Lead-

By HENRY SUPER aAei7 preaa SfafP Cjnrreanondenf

Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. II. (UP)-With She National league race getting Lighter by tho day, two of the three pennant contenders-New York and St. Louis-are bolstering their lineups for driving finish.
 The third-place New Workers, who again seem to be clicking aft CT blowing the nine-game lead they held in July, already have Harry Gumbert, former Baltimore Inter- national league pitcher, ready for duty.
 The Cards have dispatched emer- gency orders to Lyle Judy, short stop from Springfield, Mo. and Bill McGee and Nelson Potter, Houston pitchers. Judy, who set a Western Association base-stealing record this season, may be used as pinch runner and the two new pitchers probably will be used for relief work.
 The Giants, only 1-2 games from the top, finally are starting to fight from behind instead of laying down and calling 1t a day. With his team playing inspired baseball, Manager Bill Terry ad- ditionally is beaming because:
 l. Mel Ott, who had gone hit less 26 times at bat, gathered two blows yesterday.
 2. Gus Mancuso, who hadn't hit in 17 trips to the plate, cracked out single.
 8. Gumbert is ready for duty and might put some life into an ailing pitching staff.
 Terry plans to use Gumbert, who is . ringer for Daffy Dean, in the St. Louis series starting tomorrow. He will take the spot filled by Fred Fitzsimmons, who hasn't been able to return to form after a long lay off because of a clipped bone in his throwing arm.
 q can't take any chances with Fitz," says Terry. 'The closeness of the race is such that I can't risk it. But I'm going to give this Gum bert a real chance to show what he can do. If he can step In ana win, the rest of the fellows will feel that here is fresh help and added strength"
 The Giants played top-notcn baseball in taking a double-head- CT from Pittsburgh yesterday, 4-3 and Az. The double victory en- abled the Giants to cut the Cards lead to 1-2 games. The Cards, with a three-run rally in the eighth, defeated Philadelphia AS to stay a game ahead of Chicago's Cubs, who defeated Boston, 40. Brooklyn defeated Cincinnati, Al.
 In the American league, the De- troit Tigers had their lead chopped to [ 1-2 games by losing, 60, to Washington, while the runner-up New York Yankees defeated Cleve- land, Al.
