Detroit Takes Double Header From Senators New York Yankees Stretch Lead To Six Full Games (By United Press: One of baseball # unwritten laws Is that a batter never swing# at a three-amlnothlng pitch. It juat Isn’t a good policy. It’s better to take a chance that the next one will ml'# the plate. If you swing the odds are you'll be put out. and 999 times out of 1.000 the baiter will let the three-and- j nothing pitch go by. The I.oooth time came last night in Washing ton. when Hudy York took a cut. It was In the sixth inning of the first game between the Tigers and i the Senators. The score was tied • at 4-4 l)i< k Wakefield and Pinky i Higgins were on base. Dutch l**onard—the all-star game > winner — missed the plate on the first pitch to York Then again. And then ball three York stood at the plate, waiting for the “crippie” ft came over. But Instead of letting it go by. Hudy broke tradl-I tlon and swung The ball sailed over the left field fence for York's I 13th home run of the season. WakeMi and Higgins trotted across the platter ahead of York and Leonard felt mighty foolish out there on the mound. The Tigers i went ahead. 7 to 4. and they event-, uffly Mon. 7 to 5. The second game also went to the Tiger*, by a score of 1 to 0. In other American league games, the New York Yankees stretched their lead to six full games over the Senators by handing the St Louis Browns a 9 to 5 setback. The Cleveland Indians, behind Jim Bag hy. downed the Philadelphia Athletics. 2to 1 The Chicago White Sox Boston Red Sox game wa# postponed In the National league. Bucky

Joe Medwick Doing Well for New York Brooklyn Cast-Off Starring For Ott (By United Press) The New York Giants never have be»n known as big spenders in the baseball marts. They say that’s one of the reasons the Giants are in the National league cellar rlgbr now. But Mel OH is rejoicing over the best "buy" any club lias had in several yeara—the purchase of Joe Medwick from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Medwick went to the Giant* last week via the waiver route —for 87.500. That's the cheapest price any major league player can be picked up for. It represents just a fraction of Medwick's salary. The Dodgers had to get rid of him. And the Giants were only too glad to get him. When the sal<was announced, everyone thought the Giants had made a bad deal. But Joe's performance ha* proved otherwise. He's hitting at a .400 glip in his first seven games in Giant livery. His hits have come when they were needed. And his fielding has been flawless. The Giant* have taken the attitude that Medwick couldn't have been all wrong at Brooklyn. They heard about his alleged loafing, and about his sulking. But, in buying him. they reasoned that Medwick must have been of some value to the Brooks—even If only as an occasional pinch-hitter. They didn’t figure on the complete change that's apparently come over the moody Hungarian, j Joe has been playing his heart out for the Giants-- deepite the fart that he's never before played wi’h a dub that's finished out of the first division. P> rhaps that's one of the reasons Medwick's doing so much huati--1 mg. He think* the Giants can go j somewhere — and he doesn't want hi# first-division record broken. Another Dodger castoff of iast week—Bob Newsom—-is being touted as th- man who can bring the American league pennant to th* i St Ixiuls Browns. There Isn't much chance of Medwick bringing the Giant* a flag But be may help them crawl out of the second division. He can't hurt the Giants' chances, at any rate. Manager Ott probably wishes Branch Rickey would 1 present the Giants with some other I players he doesn't want. .... ,1,0 PLAN FALL OPENING /Continued From rags 1) staff of teachers for the junior-' senior high and Lincoln school#.

He was making calculations on the weather for the Invasion of Sicily when a freak I storm blew up in the .Mediterranean with a 3<> knot gale.

But Corry sent In his report predicting that the gale would subside to no more than 15 knots and that the waves would run only about five feet at Invasion time.

•he Axis Is putting up real resistance is at Catanis. And there, they've been holding on doggedly for day# against powerful thrusts by the British eighth army on the south, and the Canadians on the southwest. However, a l*t»* German news agency dispatch says that the British now have started a major attack against German lines in the mountains west of the Catania plain, it adds that the Tommies have succeeded In making a breakthrough, but suffered big loss*-# during a Nazi counterattack. This is an enemy claim, of course, and is not confirmed, either as to the losses or, for tint matter, the attack itself. However, radio Algiers says that the Britlsk have succeeded in widening their bridgehead across a river that protects the Nazi front at Catania. But M adds that Montgomery's troops are finding the going tough because of vast mine fields. Oft shore, the Allied fleet is reported to be lobbing shell after shell into Catania. And an earlier Algiers broadcast, quotes an unconfirmed report that Cantala la being attacked from the north. If true. It would mean that Allied forces, somehow, have succeeded in cutting behind thn Gerrnsn lines to attack from the rear. The Allied air force has resumed Its systematic bombardment of enemy airfields and communications on the Italian mainland. Heavy liombers hammered at railroad yards in Foggia. while rned-j ium bombers raided Salerno, south of Naples, and Battapaglla. Twenty four enemy planes were destroyed during the 24 hours ending last night, and our air force lost six planes.
