In Beoting Cards
BY JUDSON BAILEY.


The Chicago White Sox have been
going nowhere in the American
League ever since the season started,
but they have attained one distinc-
tlon denied every other club in the
circuit. They are the only team to
sweep a double-header from the
world champion New York Yankees
and they have accomplished 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. It was like
picking on man while he was down.
But they caught the champions
last night at the crest of winning
streak that included four straight
victories and Is of their last 16
games and proceeded to whip the
Yankees at the kind of ball for
which New York is Notwithstanding
The first game was played at twi-
light and the Yanks gave Atley
Donald 5-1 lead with five runs in
the third inning, two Of them on
Joe Di Maggio's 10th homer. Then
the Sox slugged back to win, 6-5,
IN IL innings, with old Sam West
driving in four of Chicagos runs.
He doubled for two to tie the score
in the ninth and singled home the
deciding tally in the eleventh.
Yanks' Lead Not Much Hurt.
Inc second game, played under
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 it's half of the
same frame to win, Us.
This merely dented the Yanks' big
f1rst-place margin to IL games. be-
cause the Boston Red Sox were
nosed out, 7-6, in II innings at
Cleveland when Roy Weatherly
singled with the bases loaded. Joe
Cronin contributed an error to a
lour-run Tribal rally in the third
inning, but tied the score with q two
run homer in the sixth. Eight
pitchers and five catchers were used
during the struggle.
The Detroit Tigers walloped the
Philadelphia Athletics, 1877. in an
affair that would have been con-
siderably lopsided except for five
Detroit errors. Rudy York hit his
18th home run with one on in the
sixth and his teammates rolled up
eight more runs in the seventh.
In the National League the Brook
lyn Dodgers enlarged their lead to
eight games by beating the st. Louis
Cardinals, 4-3, in a twilight tussle
that was halted in the last of the
seventh by wartime dimout regula-
tions in the New York area.
Wyatt Tight in Pinches.
Whitlow Wyatt faced Mort Cooper
in what should have been q pitching
battle, but wasn't. The Cards led
oil 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 In
the pinches and subdued all the
Redbirds except Enos Country
Slaughter, who drove in all the st.
Louis runs with homer in the first
and double in the seventh. 1t was
Wyatt's 18th victory against three
defeats.
The two double e-headers which
completed the senior circuit card
were halved. The Chicago Cubs
welcomed Van Lingle Mungo back
into the majors a bit rudely, beat
ing the New York Giants, 40, 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 homers and Bill
Lohrnan driving in a run with
single in addition to pitching nine
hit ball
The Pittsburgh Pirates took their
first game at Boston, 80, on flve-hit
hurting by Truett (Rip) Sewell after
being shut out for seven stanzas by
Al Javery. Then the Braves retail
ated with a 6-5 decision In the night
cap In behalf of big Jim Tobin.
