| DCCH SOlllS uOWIltTe III Tie
American League ever since the
season started, but they have
attained one distinction denied
every other club in the circuit.
They are the only team to
sweep a doubleheader from the
world champion New York
Yankees and they have accom-
plished the feat not once, but
twice.
When the Sox first turned the
trick in New York on June %,
the Yanks were in a slump and
the Sox didn't get much credit.
1t was like picking on a man
while he was down.
But they caught the champ
ions last night at the crest of a
winning streak that included
four straight victories and Is of
their last Is games and pro-
ceeded to whip the Yankees at
the kind of ball for which New
York is Notwithstanding.
Y'NKS TAKE LEAD
The first game was played at
Twilight and the Yanks gave
Alley Donald a 81 lead with
five runs in the third inning,
two of them on Joe DiMaggio's
18th homer. Then the Sox slug
ged back to win 6-5 in II in
nings with old Sam West driv-
ing in four of Chicago's runs.
He doubled for two to tie the
score in the ninth and singled
home the deciding tally in the
18th.
The second game, played I'M
der the lights, saw the Sox take
an early So lead, the Yanks tie
the score in the sixth, and then
Chicago come back with two
runs in its half of the same
frame to win Us.
MERELY DENTS LEAD
This merely denied tn e
Yanks' big first place margin to
IL games, because the Boston
Red SoX were nosed out TO in
ii innings at Cleveland when
Roy Weatherly singled with the
bases loaded. Joe Cronin con-
tributed an error to a four-run
tribal rally in the third inning,
but tied the score with two
run homer in the sixth. Eight
pitchers and five catchers were
used during the struggle.
The other American League
contests were equally wild.
At st. Louis the Washington
Senators squeezed past the
Browns again lilo with four
runs in the ninth inning. There
was scoring in every frame and
ten pitchers were used, six by
st. Louis. George McQuinn,
Vernon Stephens and Walt judi
Mich all hit home runs for the
Browns, Judnich with two on
in the seventh, and Bruce
Campbell connected for the Sen
ators, who totalled 20 hits to
st. Louis 10.
TIGERS WALLOP AS
The Detroit Tigers walloped
the Philadelphia Athletics 1877
in an affair that would have
been considerably lopsided ex-
cept for five Detroit errors.
Rudy York hit his 18th home
run with one on in the sixth
a~d his teammates rolled up
eight more runs in the seventh.
In the National League the
Brooklyn Dodgers enlar &
their lead to eight games by
beating the st. Louis Cardinals
AZ in twilight tussle that was
halted in the last of the seventh
by wartime dimout regulations
il. the New York area.
Whitlow Wyatt faced Mort
Cooper in what should have
been a pitching battle but was
not. The Cares led off with two
hits in three of their last four
turns at bat and on the other
loaded the bases with three
walks. But Wyatt was tight Il
the pinches and subdued all the
redbirds except Enos Country
Slaughter, who d owe in all the
st. Louis runs with a homer in
the first and a double in the sew
enth. 1t was WAITS 18th vic
tory against three defeats.
The two dOu bleheaders
which completed the Senior
Circuit card were halved. The
Chicago Cubs welcomed Van
Lingle Mungo back into the
Majors bit rudely, beating
the New York Giants AZ even
though held to seven hits in
the first game.
The Giants took the second
game, however, 81 with Dick
Bartell and Babe Young hitting
homcrs and Bill Lo,.rman driv-
ing in a run with single in adj
dition to pitching nine-hit ball.
The Pittsburgh Pirates took
th-ir first game at Boston 80 on
five-hit hurting by Truett (Rip)
Sewell after being shut out for
seven stanzas by Al Javery.
Then the Braves retaliated with
a 6-5 decision in the nightcap in
Lohnlf of Rin Lin, Tnhi,
