PROVIDENCE, :. -. June 20.
,UP1-Although they ere sharing

Pvt. Robert Leckenby of Providence

Pvt. Leckenby said it was a moon

I didn't want to wake Freddy

him with my knife. 1 managed to
lift the body out and roll it away

NEW YORK, June 20. CUPD-As
far as New York National league
fans are concerned, the baseball
season is a success if the Giants
win more than half Of their games
from the Brooklyn Dodgers and
Tuesday they were reasonably GER
tain that this season would be a
WhOoping triumph.
The Dodger-Giant rivalry prob
ably is the most bitterly contested
in baseball tocay and Of the 10
games the clubs have played this
season, the Giants have emerged on
the long end of the score seven
times. The two meet % times over
the campaign and at their current
pace, the Giants stand to win IA
or more of the meetings.
Last night, playing at Ebbets
Field in heavy weather the New
Workers sWamped Durocher's dis
mals in their own back yard, 1O-2
The victory put the driving Giants
within a half game of the second
place Pittsburgh Pirates, extended
their current victory string TO four
games and marked their l7th
triumph in their last % games.
Harry Feldman recorded his sixth
victory Of the campaign and MS
third over the Dodgers as he scat
tered eight hits in his evenings
chore. But more pleasing to New
York fans, who would miss a chick
en- dinner to see a Brooklyn player
