YANKEES TAKE DOUBLE HEADER Beat White Sox Two Games To Cut Down Detroit’s Lead Xn»w York, July 23— (UP)-lThe Colossus of Ruth refuses to fall. Five days ago he was eent to a hospital, nursing a welt on his aging leg where he had been hit with » line drive. * The doctors shook their heads. , The Baibe was through—too old to Jjdge balls. They said he might never play again—. But yesterday he came hack. He , was supposed to be in bed —a cripple. The Yanks were in the Doldrums. Two weeks before like a ghost of his former glory, had hammered them bank into the lead with one blow of his mighty bat, smashing out his 7OOth homer. They were drooping again. So the Bam heaves a sigh, hoisted his hump-shouldered hulk off the bench and waddled to the plate. He could not run, he rouhl scarcely walk. But one swipe of his ancient war club,, and he could have crawled home.l He parked the ball in the bleakhere. Jogged around the track and Combs and Saltzgaver ahead of him. The' Yanks won, 8-2, and went on to j 1 take the second game. 15-2, lathing out 19 hite —a performance reminiscent of their power-house past.. . Detroit, meanwhile, was splitting with the Athletics, losing the first game, 1-0. which pared a game off their lead and left the Yankees only ' ■■ t game behind. The Tigers came back in the nightcap, winning 17-8, with Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics hitting his 3rtth homer. * (Cleveland climbed into third place again, blasting the Boston Red Sox. 4-2 and 6-5. Washington cut St. Louis’ seven-| game string winning, 6-4. New York stretched its lead to I three games in the National, beating Cincinnati in the eleventh inning, 21. while the Cubs were losing Chicago staged a two-run rally in the first of the twelfth when Gabby Hartnett hit a homer with Cuyler aboard, but the Phils matched It and added one for three in their half and won 6-5. - The St. Louis Cards closed on the Cubs, only a game behind in third place, when they scored a twinkilling in Boston, Joe Medwick’s 1 double and Davis' single in the eighth won the first, 5-4. Dazzy Vance fireballed the braves in the nightcap. 4-2. Brooklyn swept the series with Pittsburgh, 3-2 and 13-10. In the nightcap they loaded up with ten 1 runs in the second heat and laid I, all the. .groundwork for blowing it
