Col. Ed Barrow e. Co. were more
deeply appreciative of the fact
that their lanky Italian outfielder
has been a veritable bag of dyna-
mite in blasting the Bronx Bomr-
ers into first place and quite
definitely in the general direction
of the American League pennant.
The Yanks hold lead of a game
and a half now, thanks to DiMag-
gio and all and. incidentally, a
double-edged victory over WASH
ington yesterday.
New York polished off the Sena-
tors. 9 to a, in the opener, and
captured the nightcap, z to 5.
