REDS INCREASE LEAGUE MARGIN Cop Double Header Against Bees To Boost Lead To 10 Games New York. July 38 — (UP) — Here'* a tip from the Yank* to the Reds the most certain thing In liaselmll I* the uncertainty of the National league pennant .race* The Yankees don’t think the Red* are in. even though they have a larger lead than the Bronx bomber* have in the American league. The Yank* had an off day ye* terday because of rain While waiting for the game to be called, they fell to discussing the National league race. "The National league pennant I won't be clinched until the team In first place ha* a aeven-game lead with only aix game* left to play." said lefty, Gomel. the whimsical Yankee southpaw. "Even then the team in first place probably won't win. They'll dig up a protested game, toaa It out. and make the leaders play it over again. I doubt If the National league champion* will know they've won until they see the Yankee* on the field in the world aerlea." , The Yank*, however think well - of the Red* because moat of the conversation was almut them Some one mentioned that Bucky Walter* had won 17 game* for! the Red* "He must pitch every day and at night, too." said Charlie Ruffing "Yeh. he doe* pitch at night." •aid Gome* "I wonder how good Walter* will be next year*" Ruffing asked Outside the locker room Joei DiMaggio wa* lying In a trunk ' looking at the ceiling He t* liltt-j 1 Ing 408 and doesii't have a thing to worry about. "I’m going out after the batting title thia year." said Joe "Im, trying to keep my average up l above .400. I'm not trying for homer*. Homer* don't mean much unless you drive in runs I am just trying to meet the hall and get Singles and doubles." DiMaggio has only nine homers, but hi* ninth Tuesday against the Brown* wa* one of the longest! ever hit In the major*-a 448-foot I blow near the second exit In the 1 left field bleacher*. If Joe wa* I only swinging for "singles and I doubles" when he hit that one. 1 It's just a* well with the American league pitchers If he doesn't declde to swing for homer*. Cincinnati built It* lead back to 10 game* yesterday, punching a double victory over the Rees, tbl and 8-8 (11 Innings). Paul Derringer won his 14th game In the opener. Peaches Davis won the nightcap in a relief role after the Reds blew an 8-4 lead In the eighth
