Cardinals Take Both Ends of Twin Games-Homers
 Win for N. Y. Gianfs
(By Associated Press)

Five of the St. Louis Browns pitchers tried to stop the Wash ington Senators yesterday but the Senators scored on each of them, slamming out an easy victory.
 The St. Louis Cardinals grabbed both ends of a doubleheader yes- terday from the Boston Bees, win ming the first game in eleven in- nings to sweep the four-game series and creep within percentage mark of the first division Chicago Cubs which went down to a costly de- feat yesterday at the hands of the Phillies.
 Leftfielder Augie Galan suffered fractured left knee in crashing against concrete wall and Man. ager Gabby Hartnett was struck on the head in the second inning and left the game.
 Two homers in the ninth inning by Burgess Whitehead and Hank Daning, each made with a man on base, broke up Bucky Walters ball game yesterday and gave the Gi- ants a victory over the Reds.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Check up on the records and you find sim pie explanation for the Giants floundering attempts to stay up in the National League race - their pitchers are too generous with home run tosSes and their batters can't find the ball with men on base.
 In mid-July-with the season not quite halfway gone-Bill Ter rvs hurling staff had thrown 53 cousin pitches. and at the darnd cousin pitches, and at the darned duced only 86 anti-Giant circuit clouts.
 That wouldn't be so bad if the Giants were taking advantage of their own scoring opportunities. Already this year 569 New York CTS have been stranded on the basepaths, Is of them in one game recently against the Cubs. The major league record is Is for one game, 1905 for the season.
 Manager Bill Terry, until he ac- quired Willis Hudlin from Wash ington, didn't have pitcher who hadn't tossed at least one home run ball. Here's the way they stacked up in midJuly:
 Off Hubbel, 10; Lohrman, 9; Gumbert, T; Melton, 6; Schu- macher, 6; Paul Dean, 5; Joiner, 4; Brown, 3; Vandenberg, 2, and Lynn, |
 Lynn gave up his homer in the same game in which the Giants set up their 16-left-on-b mark. The New Workers in that contest

COACH
 GIVEN
 PRIZE

HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. His smile still damp with precipitation at Princeton, Freddy Wolcott of Rice Institute showed a handsome gold watch at Emmett Brunson, Rice track coach, and mumbled:
 Here, this is yours"
 The watch, with the engraving "220-yard low hurdles, 1940," rep resented Freddy's trophy for a per- formance that had broken the world records for the 20G-meter and 220- yard low barriers at Princeton's track meet.
 His breath almost taken away Brunson stuck the watch out to- ward Wolcott, stammering:
 Hey, you must be crazy. Take this back. It's THE watch; the one you'll want to keep always"
 The incident ended when Vol colt brushed aside Brunson's arm saying:
 That's the one I want you to 1 have"
 That was the climax to the strong friendship that bloomeo throughout Wolcbtt's competitive career. BrunSon had developed painStakingly all of the native abil- ity Freddy possessed, finally ex- hibiting one of the outstanding i track men of all time. l The Rice towhead hit his peak at Princeton, running the 220-yard lows in 22.5, and the 200 meters

road filed him with enthusi-
asm. He exclaimed over the
glimpse of the sea. In fact.
he might have been trying to
sell the Shoreview Develop
ment and the house on the
bluff to her.
Jim Duane was the unful-
filled dream of every real
estate salesman-the perfect
optimist. A few words would
turn him into the fat COM
mission. the $3.50 that would
lift Nancy by elevator into a
we'll serviced hotel room.
But those last few real
estate lies gagged in her
throat. Her tongue, rebelling,
pointed out that the road was
rough and steep, extremely
muddy in Winter. AS for the
lovely inlet from the sea. at
low tide it smelled of mussels
and she told him so.
The house on the bluff was
just the home a bachelor
would like If he didn't look
into it carefully. All she had
10 do was to murnur about
woods and privacy.
All she had to do was TO
fling open the door into the
huge living room with its big
fireplace-and vacation in
luxury would be hers. But he
took the sales talk out Of her
mouth before she had time to
utter il.

"You could have q stag party
and nobody would knock on
the pipes.
Mrs. Mullins lives right be-
hind that hedge" Nancy unde-
ceived him. "She's mOtherly.
Shed come over and lecture
YOU on staying up too late at
night for your own good"
And bring a homemade
pie with her lecture" he
chuckled.
Maybe. But Mrs. Tucker
lives on the other side and
she borrows.
Good" he rejoiced, Then
/ can borrow, too"
POINTS OUT DEFECTS
Inside the house, Nancy
pointed out defects just as if
she were a wife. The fireplace
drew perfectly-as long as no
east wind blew. The refrig-
orator was big and made
plenty of ice cubes, but cleo
tricity in the country was ex-
pensive. The heating was
automatic-except when a
storm blew down the wires
and the steam pipes and
houseowner froze.
"And in the Summer there
are gnats and blue bottle flies
from the beach," Nancy went
on relentlessly.
MY pipe will take care of
them"
Somehow his undampened
enthusiasm prodded Nancy
into disclosing all the truths
a real estate agent never tells
the discomforts of life in the
