many already knew about the Yam
KEGS and the Dodgers-that is, if
they can't beat you one way, they'll
beat you another.
At Ebbets Field, the Dodgers went

homer of the year and presented the
Yankees with an 8-4 triumph.
Brooklyn's success provided
French with his 18th victory against
only one loss, although his four

The Cards downed the Chicago
Cubs twice. 9-4 and 8-3. John
Beazley registered his 18th pitch

he yielded 10 OF the II hits and
failed to finish, and Harry Gum

hold on third place by sweeping a
double header, 10 and 81, ending
the Giants flve-game winning
