GIANTS SWEEP DOUBLE HEADER WITH CHICAGO Giants Regain League Lead With Two Victories Over Chicago New York, June 9 — (U.R) — Oh,l Gabby Hartnett. Hill Diekey and Rollie Hemsley hurry up and get ; well! That was the tervent plea . today of major league pilots Char-1 He Grimm. Joe McCarthy and Os- 1 car Vitt. respectively. Without Hartnett the Cubs aren't the same scrapping, hustling ball club. With his injured hand in tape the Cubs crumbled twice before the New York Giants yesterday and lost the National League lead to the Terrymen. With Bill Dickey nursing an injured leg the New York Yankees, broke all precedents of recent 1 years by losing a double-header at Yankee stadium —to the Chicago White Sox. Dickey ambled to the ( plate as a pinch-hitter but his injured leg threw him oft stride. The double defeat dropped the Yanks to a second place tie with the Boston Red Sox. four and a half games behind the Indians. Vitt is praying for Hemsley's broken finger to mend because i Bob Feller isn’t quite as effective when "Rollicking Rollie’’ is not squatting behind the plate cooing to him. Feller blew a 5-0 lead yesterday against the Red Sox and finally was driven from the mound in the seventh. i Yes sir. the Cubs aren’t the same without Hartnett; the Yanks miss Dickey like sixty; and Feller i needs a fella, whose name is Hemsley. in the worst way.

Hank Leiber's J triple In the first with two men i on was the big punch. When the White Sox's master i mind, "Marvelous Myrus", held a j seance on Tuesday and predicted | Chicago would win seven straight ’ games, even Jimmy Dykes was In- ! elined to pooh-pooh the mystic who | travels with the club. But today Dykes and all the rest of the White i Sox were salaam ing him. Three straight over the Yanks in Yankee I stadium an unheard of thing for , the White Sox! They punched out the double victory. 11-10 in 13 in- 1 nlngs and 10-6. Gerald Walker's ; homer with two on in the ninth, I tied the score in the first game.

In the other two American League games Detroit whipped the Athletics, 5-1, behind Tommy Bridges five hit pitching and the St. Louis Browns kept up their hot streak by downing Washington. 11-5.

For three days the golfers will strive for the national open title; to them as precious a nugget as was ever mined in the high hills * that look down on the course. ' Eighten holes today, the same to- ' morrow, and then thirty-six on Sat- : urday will produce the winner. * Who will be that winner?
