YANKEES SWEEP INDIAN SERIES WITH 7-0 WIN , Champions Dim Cleve- | land Hopes; Pirates j Crush Giants’ Bid Chicago, Aug. 8. — ,(U.R) — The • true test of a champion is what he does to his toughest challeng- , er. Latest returns on that score 1 label the Pittsburgh Pirates and i New York Yankees the coming > champions of their respective lea- ) gues. All doubt about the greatness i of the 1938 Yankees was removed I by the way in which they cleaned ! up in their crucial series against lithe Cleveland Indians. Until Frii day the Yanks had won just one I ball game in Cleveland. But the I Yanks moved out of Cleveland last I night with three straight triumphs i over the tribe three smashing vic- ) torles that may have broken the I i heart of the Indians as far as pennant aspirations are concerned. I The Yanks hammered down the i Idians' three aces — Bob Feller, ! Johnny Allen and Mel Harder- in I ' sweeping the most important Am- ■ erican league series this season. The triple triumph lengthened the » Yanks’ lead to games. Red Ruffing limited the Indians I to two hits as the Yanks scored i a 7-0 victory, knocking out Hard- | er. Lou Gehrig hit a homer with i : a mate aboard. ' Pittsburgh delivered a crushing I blow to the New York Giants penI nant hopes by sweeping a doublei header at the Polo grounds, 5-1 and I 13-3. ! By knocking the Giants down ! twice the Pirates stretched their National league lead to 6*4 games, i Like the Yanks, the Pirates move ! homeward looking every inch i champions. i Jim Tobin pitched and batted i the Pirates to victory in the open-I er He allowed only 4 hits and runs. Gus Suhr hit a homer with ■ hit two singles which figured in a mate on base. MeJ Ott’s homer prevented a Giant shutout A i- . run rally in the seventh in which i Carl Hubbell was driven from the 'box featured Pittsburgh's victory lin the second tilt. Pep Y oung, Lee Handley and Al Todd hit homers in the Corsairs' 15-hit attack. Ott hit homer No. 27 in the nightcap. Cincinnati's upward climb hit a snag when the Dodgers took a pair from the Reds, 11-10 and 6-3. ( ■ Late inning rallies decided both , . games. ’ The Chicago Cubs regained a| third place tie with the Reds by ( . dividing a doubleheader with the Boston Bees. Clay Bryant pitch- , ed the Cubs to a 7-4 victory in the ! opener. Jim Turner blanked the Cubs in the second game, 5-0, allowing only 5 hits. St. Louis and Philadelphia broke even, the Phillies winning the op- ' ener, 6-3, behind Claude Passeau’s 6-hlt pitching and the Cards taking the second game, 5-1, behind Fiddler McGee's 6-hit tossing. Detroit won its first game under its new pilot, Del Baker, by trim ; ming the Boston Red box, 7-3., George Gill pitched a 9-hit game and Hank Greenberg hit homer No. 38. Washington divided a pair with ! Chicago White Sox. Monte Strat- , ton won the opener, 14-5, with the i aid of a 17-hit attack. In the nightcap the Senators made 17 hits to win. 12-5. Buck Newsom’s attempt to perform an iron man stunt failed when the Athletics drove him from L

Bronx Zoo, New York. Aug. 8— (U.R) — Well, folks, it finally has happened! My sports selections have at last made a monkey out of me. and here I am in the Bronx zoo, sharing a trapeze and a bunch of bananas with a dozen or two of the finest ! chimps and orang-ouians this side i of the South American jungles. I came up here last night after 1 the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team I picked to finish fourth or fifth in the National league, had increased their lead to six and one-half games by taking both ends of a double i header from the Giants. If you were among the 50.000 j customers in the Polb grounds i when the last out was made you i know what happened. Without 1 warning I gave out a cry that I would have made Tarzan jump I and, stuffing a bag of peanuts in 1 my pocket, scampered out on a11 rafter, and started swinging all ; over the place. They finally trapped me on top of the center- i field flagpole and brought me here, i I am not tremendously surprised because for years and years my ; selections have been grooming me 11 for young monkeyhood. I didn't | tell anyone about it but when' i Armstrong licked Ross (after I] had predicted an easy victory for | Barney) I could scarcely resist a temptation to run right out of the -' bowl and climb a tree. And when I | Louis knocked out Schmeling in

[ one round I spent the remainder I of the night atop a chandelier in I my living room. The Pirates, I suppose, were the final straw. Before the season started I believed all the bad things 1 heard about, them, and picked them to finish no better than fifth. Then to see them knock the ball out of the lot and field like magicians was just too much. With as big . a lead as they nowhave they are all but a cinch to win the pennant, ami so its just as well I started getting used to a cage now as in late September. It isn't at all bad here in the zoo. The cage has fifteen or twen-ty-way ventilation and the peanuts are a lot better than you get in the ball parks. My cage mates are a friendly and interesting bunch. The chimp that was teaching me tricks on the trapeze this morning says he is from South America. An orang-outan named Pete, who is held in high respect because he is a nephew of Gargantua and gets passes to the circus, said not to believe the chimp, though; that he wasn’t a real chimp at all and wasn't from South America, but was formerly a Mobile sportswriter who picked Alabama to win the Rose Bowl game this year by a score of 48 to 0. Real name is Pat, said Pete. Before the keeper assigned me a permanent perch and my own pineapple plate he wanted to know how I figured the Armstrong-Ambers fight. “Be careful who you pick.” the keeper said, “because it might make a difference in how long you’ll be with us." “I like Ambers,” I said, executing a deft double twist on the bars of the cage. “You like who?” “Ambers,” I repeated. “I think he’ll win a decision." “I hope you like it here,” he answered sadly, “because you’ll be here a long, long time."

He said then that nobmiy was knocking out Ambers quick and that he was training to go the full route. Mead said that word from Ambers' camp had cause change in opinion. "Friends of mine watched Ambers workout Saturday and Sunday " he said. "They tell me that he had tried to change his sty e.He is trying to be a sluggei instead of a jumping pack.

Aug. B—(U.R) —If Mickey Cochrane ever returns to baseball. 1 he hopes it will not be as manager.. He said today, as he prepared to take his family for a vacation in Wyoming, that he has lost interest in being a major league pilot. “If those things can happen to you.” he said, “then that kind of a job is not for me.” He referred to his surprise removal as manager of the Detroit I Tigers Saturday night after his club had dropped four games in a row. Cochrane, leader of the Bengals since 1934. was succeeded by his coach. Del Baker. In a quick visit to Briggs stadium yesterday. Cochrane packed his uniform, cleared his desk for his successor and said goodbye to Baker and the Tigers. Then, unhampered by baseball rules, he went oer to the dressing room of the Boston Red Sox for a brief chat with Manager Joe Cronin and members of his club. There has been talk that Mickey has his eyes on a job with the Red Sox. It is known that he is well-liked by owner Tom Yawkey, and hailing from Massachusetts, Cochrane is a favorite with Boston fans. It was not likely, however, that Cochrane would succeed cronin for oJe has kept the goldplated Red Sox well up in the American league race this season and still has another year to go on a five-
