THURSDAY, AUGU 22, 1940 TRIBE ADDS ANOTHER GAME TO LEAD: REDS, DODGERS DEFEATED * Yanks Make Clean Sweep Of Series With Tigers; Phils Whip Cubs; Bues Down Bees (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Cin- cinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dod- gers went down into defeat yes- terday at the hands of the New York Giants and St. Louis Car- dinals, respectively. The results now place the Giants 11% games from the Redlegs and just six games in the rear of the Dodgers, with the Redbirds 12 contests in back of the leaders and 6% from the Brooklyn boys. A single by Witek in the llth inning, scoring Ott, decided the game in favor of the Giants over the Reds. New Yorkers took the series, 2 to 1. Score was 5 to 4. Despite two home runs by the Dodgers and being held to a measely six hits, the Cardinals took yesterday’s affair 7-5 and wound up the series with a clean slate. A fifth-inning six-run blast, as they put together five of their safe blows, brought victory to the fast-stepping Redbirds. On the short end of a 2-1 score, Pittsburgh Pirates scored a run in the fourth frame to knot the count, and then went on to win the «game when Vince DiMaggio pounded out a two-hagger in the eighth to send Arky Vaughan home with the triumphant marker for the Boston Bees. Chicago Cubs’ Zeke Bonura tied the game all up between the * Bruins and Philadelphia Phillies * as he smashed a four-bagger in the ninth, but the homer that counted was the one Charley Frey poled in the tenth that gave the Phils a 7-5 victory. A team- mate crossed the plate ahead of Frey. Cleveland Indians. added an- other game to their lead yester- day by downing the Boston Red Sox, while the New Ycrk Yan- kees were making a clean sweep of their series with the second- place Detroit Tigers. Tribe’s victory was decided early. Roy Mack's circuit clout that produced two runs in the second inning put the Indians ahead and they remained that way until the end of the game. Harder allowed the Tigers 14 safeties but he came through in CHANGE NIGHTS FOR SOFTBALL PLAY AT PARK DECIDE TO FINISH TIE GAMES ALTHOUGH TIME- LIMIT HAS BEEN REACHED: SALARIES PAID At a meeting of the softball leagues of Key West last night at City Hall, it was decided that in the future night games at Bayview Park be played on Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday eve- ning, instead of Monday, Thurs- day and Friday nights as at pres- ent.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ack THREE , Casal Slaughoars § ———=By VIRGINIA HANSON YESTERDAY: Immermen, the waiter, seems agitated at the table conversation. After lunch, Felicia drives to Chicago to do some shopping and Kay goes to the Post Exchange. Immerman is there buying a regimental in- + signia like the one connected with the first robbery. Chaptef Five One Paying Guest WANTED to tell Adam the in- cident but two second lieuten- ants found me first and estab- lished themselves firmly and du‘ fully at my side, addressing their attentions so obviously to the ma- jor’s girl that I felt about eighty instead of twenty-four. When} Colonel Pennant arrived they sprang to their feet and moved chairs and carried drinks, then ef- faced themselves like well-bred children, haloed with knowledge of duty well done. The girls, Colonel Pennant ex- plained, were still in the city. “You couldn’t get them to leave until the stores close,” he went on cheerfully. “I long ago gave up trying to understand the feminine lust for shopping. And when you consider that they have the extra thrill of helping choose a trous- seau, I shall be surprised if they don’t get locked in.” a photographic mural of a caval- ry regiment at the charge.
