All Joe MeCarthy’s boys had to do to regain the lead was to keep away from the ball field. Andy Reese, |third baseman of the New’ York | Giants, contributed to the cause by | spanking a home run in the seventh against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The jhomer proved to be the only run of |the game and it toppled the Corsairs |from the top rung of the ladder. | Ray Kremer and Larry Benton en- gaged in a hurling battle at the Polo s and each pit had the |batters popping up flies most of the afternoon, The ma@ rush of the Cincinnati |Reds carried the team further to- ward the top of second division, Jack | Hendricks’ men dropped the St. Louis [Cardinals twice in a doubleheader, They won the first, 3 to 2,'in 10 in- [nings, and took the second, 4,10 3, by a four-run rally in the seventh that caused the retirement of Flint Rhem. The double killing put the Reds close to the Brooklyn Dodgers, who are occupying fifth place, and widened the breach between St. Louis and the two leaders--the Pirates and Cubs. Hugh Critz won the first game |with a single in the 10th that scored Walker, who was on third with two out. The Detroit-Philadelphia game fur- nished the liow’s share of the Amer- ican League excitement, Jimmy Dykes knocked out a home ran in the 13th that gave the Mackmen a 6-5 victory. Philadelphia fought an up- hill battle, tying the score in the ninth. Zach Wheat’s great catches in the 10th and 13th saved the game. a » , Kearns. |. i an J ‘I
