The Yankees yesterday were am

noon games. and this feat enabled
the Tribe to move up to second

The Brooklyn Dodgers, who have
had their whole complexion changed
since the start Of the season in the
process Of Rickey's rebuilding with
young players for the future, tried
out two youngsters on the mound
yesterday and dropped both ends of
a double-header to the Chicago
Cubs, rs and 1876.
Hal Gregg and Red Barney, two

BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writs-.

The way the rivals of the st. Louis
Cardinals and New York Yankees
are reacting to the unimpeded sweep
of these two clubs to the major
league pennants Is . topic that may
interest the class today.
Some still are trying to strengthen
themselves for the present season,
some are trying to rebuild for next
year and some simply are waiting
for the schedule to end.
The Washington Mats are the prize
example Of the first group. 1t would
take a miracle to move the Mats
ahead of the Yankees, but Clark
Grinth isn't overlooking any
chances, as witness his deal with the
st. Louis Browns for Third Baseman
Harlond Cliff and Pitcher John
Niggeling.
If he had been able to land Cliff
to plug the Mats gap at third base
month ago, his club might have
managed to make a race in the
American League this year.
Yanks Are Ambushed.
AS it Is. the deal quite likely will
let the Mats finish second, q Jump
