BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

New York, June 17--Don't look now but Father Knickerbocker's three major league ball clubs-the Dodg- CTS, Giants and Yankees--woke up today with one of the worst Monday morning hangovers on record. All three were trying to figure out what fell on them.
 The Reds landed one-two punch on the Dodgers before 30,005 heart sick Brooklyn fans To and 5-1. The Pirates clipped the Giants 8-game winning streak abruptly with a dou- ble trimming, SO and 53, before 34,- 282 at the Polo Grounds. But the blow that hurt the most of all was the Browns twin triumph over the world champion Yankees out in St. Louis, 12-6 and 6-5. It was the first time the Browns had beaten the Tanks in St. Louis since 1888.
 Bill McKechnie stopped the Dodgers with double dose of pitch ing poison--Paul Derringer and Jim Turner. Derringer had his hands full, dueling with Whit Wyatt until the ninth before Lonnie Frey's hom- CT. which stuck on top of the right field fence in a little triangle by the scoreboard, gave him the only run he needed. Frey's homer and Lom- bardi's infield hit were the only two hits of Wyatt. Derringer allowed six hits, two each in the eighth and ninth, but when the chips were down big Paul had 1t. He famed Pete Cos carart for the final out with runners on third and second in the ninth. Turner went the rout to win his third game, allowing eight hits. The Reds tapped Curt Davis, making his first start for the Dodgers, for ten hits. Only runs off Turner were suc- cessive homers by Coscarart and Du- rocher with two out in the eighth. Joe Medwick was impotent with one hit in both games.

 The Cardinals kept their record for Southworth at 1000 per cent by winning doubleheader from the Philleis, 9-3 and 3-1. for their fourth straight. A 14-hit attack led by Stu Martins three hits featured the opener while Lon Warneke went the distance and allowed only four hits to cop the nightcap. '
 The Bees and Cubs split. Eddie Miller, the shortstop the Cubs failed to buy, won the opener for the Bees 5-4, with an 11th inning single which Galan juggled to allow a rum ner to count from first. An 8-run rally gave the Cubs the afterpiece, 9-1, behind Passauls 5-hit pitching.
