Manager Leo Durocher’s pen- nant-hungry Giants swept a double-header from the Chicago Cubs yesterday, 5-4 and 5-1, to chop the once succulent lead of the Brooklyn Dodgers to six games. The Dodgers split with the tail- end Pittsburg Pirates, winning the nighteap, 4-3, in ten innings, nflerl blowing the opener, 12-11. { Meanwhile the American League | race remained in status quo as the Cleveland Indians retained their one-game lead over the New York ‘Yankees by splitting a doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox, trailing games, won the first game, the Indians took the second, 2-1. The Yanks divided with the Chi- cago White Sox, lesing the opener, 3-2, and winning the nightcap, 8-6. In other American League games, the Washington Senators swept a pair from the St. Louis Browns, 9-3 and 9-1, and the Detroit Tigers de- feated the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-0. Remaining National League games saw the St. Lowis Cardi- nals and Boston Braves and the Philadelphia Phils and Cincin- nati Reds split double-headers. The Cards beat the Braves, 12-10, but lost the second game, 9-1. The Phils edged the Reds, 2-0, after Cincinnati had won the first game, 4-2. Two home runs by Wes Westrum and one by Don Mueller accounted for all of the Giants' runs in their " first game triumph.

Dodgers Not Worried Over Giants' Win Streak-"We'll Win' BROOKLYN, Aug. 27—{®-—Don't get worried over the late surge of | the New York Giants, Brooklyn Manager Charley Dressen admon- ished today — his Dodgers aren't. “There are no jitters on my ball club,” the chief of the Brook- lyn brains department said. “The spirit is fine, and we're going to win the pennant.” There certainly was room for mild doubts—everywhere except on Flat- bush Avenue after the red-hot Giants, extending their winning streak to 14 games, chipped another chunk yesterday off the Dodgers’ once imposing lead. A couple of weeks ago Brookiyn enjoyed a cushion of 13'%: games, and appeared home free. Today' just six games separate the two clubs | at the top of the National League. Brooklyn has 32 games left to play, the Giants 30. They have feur left with each other — two at the Polo Grounds next Sat- urday and Sunday, and two at Ebbetts Field Sept. 8-9. hose are the series,” Di en said. “I promise the Dodgers will do better than in the last series. The Giants swept a three-game set at the Polo Grounds Aug. 14-16.

Nobody has determined the hidden costs. Said Rep. Poulson in his indict- ment of the Reclamation Bureau's present publicity splurge. “The urce of the funds for prometing, propagandizing and paying for the Bureau's brawl are known on- ly to Michael W.

The Alaska phase of the Bureau campaign was launched quite re- cently by Secretary Chapman. His tatement and the lengthy report ;pon. which the statement is based will be closely scrutinized in this] column in the very near future.
