 New York, June l3.-(UP)-The Cincinnati Reds are making a last minute attempt to gear themselves for Q bitter pennant battle in the National league.
 Ordered by Commissioner Kene- saw Landis to bring Pitcher Johnny Hutchings back from the minors, the Reds kept him for only Q few hours and then traded him to the Boston Braves for Outflelder Lloyd Waner in Q straight player.for- player swap. The deal once again broke up the Waner brothers com- bination, recently reunited when the Braves signed Paul as a free agent.
 The Reds now have seven out- fielders on their squad, four left handed hitters and three righthand- CTS. The four who bat from the port-sdde are Ival Goodman, Jimmy Ripple, Jimmy Gleeson (bats both ways) and Waner. The righthand- CTS are Harry Craft, Ernie Roy and Mike Mccormick.
 As an upshot of the deal several other clubs may try to patch up weak spots before the major league trading dead!ine, Sunday midnight. Larry MacPhail, who's never been known to weaken in @ spot of this kind, is likely to keep the ball roll- Ing with his checkbook in deal for Q pitcher or right-handed hitting outtielder. It's been rumored that he's after the veteran Si Johnson with the Phillies. The Cubs are anx- ious to peddle Hank Leiber for a pitcher or two, but so far there hasn't been any interest shown. The Giants are after a leftfielder and Q pitcher.
 Cards stand Pat
 With @ tWo-game lead despite bad run Of injuries, the Cardinals aren't likely to make any changes. If they have to plug any gaps they are likely to go to their own farm clubs for help.
 The Yankees have gone shopping for e pitcher but have about given up hope of landing one. They have propositionedI Clark Griffith of the Senators about Leonard, Hudson or Chase but the negotiations up to now haven't been favorable. It seems certain that Manager Joe Me- Carthy Is going to 90 with Rookie Sturm at first. No efforts have been made to get either Kuhel from the White sox or McQuinn from the Browns.
 Cleveland, enjoying q four.game lead over the YaniS, probably will make their bid with what they have. Their strength iS in pitching and defense and they aren't likely to weaken 1t to get more power.
 Two brilliantly pitched games fea- tured yesterdays National league play. Big Paul Derringer hurled the Reds to a To shutout over the Braves beating Art Johnson, rookie gouthpaw. Derringer yielded four hits and famed six in winning his sixth game. The Reds scored the only run after two were out in the first on Crafts single, Q walk and Ernie Koys single.
 King Carl Hubbell notched his fourth victory by pitching the Giants to 20 victory over the Cubs. Hubbell allowed eight hits to Bill Lees six but pitched his way out of several tight spots. Harry Dannings fly with the bases loaded and Lees error led to New York,S two runs
 After losing seven straight to De. . ANAlk 4talA kAA Ak1afAtlap staged e ninth inning rally to beat the Tigers, 5-3. The victory also broke the As 6-gaine losing streak. With two on base, two out in the ninth and the Tigers leading, 3-2, Al Benton relieved Johnny Corsica and tossed home run ball to Al Bran. cato.
 Game Apiece | The Red sox nosed out the Browns, 3-2, on Ted Williams llth homer with a mate on base, to gain an even break with St. Louis. which won the opener, 0.4. After the Red sox had scored four runs in the first inning of the opener, great relief pitching by Bob Muncrief squelched the Boston attack and the Browns went on to win.
 Joe DiMaggio clouted his 18th homer of the year in the 10th in- ming last night to give the Yankees Q disputed 3-2 triumph over the White Sox before Q throng of 37,102 ct Cofnigkey Park.
 Rulings pinch-hit fly to the left center field scoreboard after Cor don singled caused the sox to pro- test the game. Chicago claimed e fan touched the ball thus creating an automatic double which would have stopped Gordon ct third and perhaps prevented the Tanks from tying the score in the ninth. Cor don's ninth homer of the year scor- cd the first Yankee run of Thorton Lee in the sixth. Johnny Murphy who pitched the last two innings
