TANKS, P|RATESI | BOTH 6h GAMES l UP ON RIVALS.
DiMaggiO's Bat Wins in WashingtOn-LOmbardi
 Homer Beats Cubs
By STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff C0rreSpOndent)

United Press Staff CorrespOndent) Chicago, Aug. 12-UP)-They booed Joe DiMaggio when he lost his holdout siege against the New York Yankees and Big Joe took it and smiled.
 "It's nothin' few home runs won't cure" Joe said then, and he can say it again now. The Tanks got five hits yesterday-five hits and nine runs. Thanks to DiMag- gios 21st homer of the season with two men on base, the world cham pions whipped Washington g to 6 and increased their American league lead to six and one-half games as Cleveland dropped a doubleheader to the St. Louis Browns.
 It took DiMagglo long time to live down his fantastic holdout. It took him almost as long to re- gain the pace that made him last years home run king. But as Joe comes back, so do the Yankees and their lead looks bigger every day to the staggering Indians.
 Washington belted Lefty Gomez freely enough, 13 hits in seven in- nings, but Lefty kept them scat tered, earning his 11th victory of the year. Joe Krakauskus of Wash ington was just the opposite. In the third he gave up only one hit -DiMaggio's homer-but with two walks and an error figuring in, four runs were scored. Three more runs crossed the plate in the fifth with DiMaggios heavy bat again in the starring role. He batted in one of the runs.
 Browns Take Two
 Buck NeWsom of the Browns, Wlio still yearns to do the iron man" stunt of pitching both games of a doubleheader, won the first one from Cleveland to T. and Les Tietje won the second in breeze to 2. Cleveland's hitting fell off badly. The Indians picked up only II hits in two games.
 Lefty Groves arm went dead as a board" after two innings of the Red SoX's game with Philadelphia and this time it may be dead for good. Lefty, now 38, didn't like the gnawing pain in his left forearm and retired one run behind. It was his fourth defeat in Is games, for three other pitchers tried to stop the Athletics and couldn't. The score was to 3.
 Monte Stratton, the quiet White Sox beanpole, gave Detroit its sec ond straight defeat on four-hit pitching, 13 to l.
 In the National league, the Chi cago Cubs opened three-day stand today at Pittsburgh which may be their last chance at the pennant. The Pirates, like the Yankees, hold 6h game lead
 The Cubs fumbled a chance in the 14th inning to move into a second place tie with New York whe nbig Ernie (Schnoz) Lombardi, bzlasted a home run clear out of the Cincinnati ball park, defeating the Cubs, to 2. Larry French, who took over the pitching job in the ninth inning, had a total of g scoreless innings to his credit when Lombardi, the leagues best hitter, walloped a high, bad ball with two strikes against him. It was his 18th of the year.
 That was the only National league game scheduled
