Chicago Cubs Beat Reds In Double Header New York, July 30—(UP) Both the pennant-bound Cubs and the hWe bound Yankees cashed early dividends today on the much-dis-cussed Hank Borowy deal. The Cubs benefited tangibly — Pitcher Horowy got otf to a 3 to 2 winning start to give them a double victory over the Beds at Chicago. Another Hank— Wyse — took the opener, 4 to 1. for his 15th win. The Wily Wyse, who hasn't had relief in any winning start thte season, let the Beds have 11 hits but toyed With them when men were on base. The vietoiies ran Chicago's string over Cincinnati to 13 wine without a defeat this season. Borowy would have had a run game except for a fly which Bill Nicholson lost in the sun. Nicholson had the lapse coming, hpwever. He starter the Cubs to victory with a two run homer. The Yankees haven't gotten any of the "several” players to be included with the SIOO,OOO reportedly paid by the Cubs for Borowy,, but the psycholiglcal benefit of the deal probably helped them win two from the athletics at New York. 2 to 1 and 11 to 3. President Larry MacPhoil, warning that there would be other deals and that they might not involve shifts to teams in the pennant picture, had the players keyed to a high pitch. Fearful of losing out with the best paying club in baseball, there was a spirit evident that had been lacking for a long time. The twin wins put the Yankees back in second place, four games behind Detroit. Detroit’s Al Benton gained life ninth victory against two defeats, beating the White Sox, 4 to 2, on the margin of Roger (Doc) Cramer's two-run double. The victory was the third straight at Detroit over the White Sox. Denton gave up 13 hits but stranded 12 runners. In another single game at Boston, the Red Sox beat the slipping Senators, 8 to 4, with Bob Johnson setting the pace. Johnson had a perfect day with a double and three singles, and ran hfe major league hit total to 2,002, going over the milestone with good measure. Fermin Guerra hit a Washtagtonhoifie run off Emmett O'Neill. The champion Browns, battling hard now to stay out of seventh place, remained tied in sixth with the Indians by splitting a pair at Cleveland. Newman Shirley won the opener for St. Louis. 4 to 0, shading the veteran Mel Harder. Jim Bagby countered with a 3 to 0 Indian shutout.

Nelson Far Out In Front In Tourney Chicago, July 30. —(UP)—Golf's great name players, such as Lt. Ben Hogan. Sammy Snead. Jug MeSpaden and Gene Sarazen, fight for second place in the rich All-Ameri-can open tournament today as Byron Nelson tees off for the final round virtually assured of' the record $13,600 war bond first prize. Such is the status of modern golf. And such is the tribute to America's No. 1 golfer, a player who has whipped the greatest field in three years before the end of the tournament. Nelson, who sprang from a Ft. Worth, Tex., caddy yard to become the game’s greatest money winner, begins the final 18 holes with a 54hole total of 202 strokes, 14 under par and six ahead of hfe old rival and former ‘gold dust twin” McSpaden. Not in 13 years of tournament golf has this tall, loosely knit Texan blown that big a lead. And nothing short of disablement is likely to block his conquest at Tam O’Shanter today. If he wing several new records go into the books, such as (1) a new all-time mark of nine straight individual tournament victories; (2) fourth victory in the five-year history of the All-American, (3) $45,000 in war bonds in seven months of one year, and (4) undoubtedly a new winning stroke record as he needs only a 75 to Break -ther 2?*-mHrk-he set m taking the 1941 tournament.

greater tribute to hfe ability, is the way he Ims completely overrun golfdom’s best. McSpaden, who has become golfdotn's champion runnerup while pushing Nelson to new records, Is six strokes to the rear. Hogan, for three years the game's top money taker before entering the army in 1942, is seven behind with 209 strokes. Snead, the easyswinging West Virginian, trails by eight as do Sarazen, Sgt. E. J. (Dutch) Harrison and the brilliant Toledo, O„ amateur, flight officer Frank Stranahan. With Nelson and McSpaden running one-two again, the tournament is in a familiar pattern. Nelson posted a four under par 68 yesterday and McSpaden duplicated his score to vault from seventh to second place as Sarazen slipped from the runnerup spot to third with a 72 and Hogan shot a 70 to Snead's and Harrison’s 71s. — MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS national league w L Pct.

New York, July 30.—(UP)— 11 Through the fading echoes of crit- ‘ icisin that accompanied Hank Borowy’s shift from the Yanks of the 3 American league to the Cubs of the ‘ National circuit, Borowy has gone all-out to prove the ancient base- ' ball adage: “A change in uniform is usually beneficial for any player. Borowy seemed to be a natural < Yank, because he first distinguished himself as a pitcher for Fordham in the bronx, and later went through three seasons with the Yanks’ farm club, Newark, N. J-, before being elevated to the New York stadium in 1942. He pitched well for the Yanks during the past] three seasons; but this year he was | not doing so well when President Larry MacPhail of the Yanks put the finger upon him as one of the players who had failed to deliver. And he was ousted from the club that pays such good salaries. Whether Borowy was sore at being cast adrift from the .Yanks, oi whether he was elevated at establishing a connection with the Cubs who have a very good chance to win the National flag —is not known. Anyway, he made his first pitching start with Hie Cubs yesterday and registered a 3-2 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds. Borowy was lucky in this first National league start. He is known as a “front, runner”—a pitcher who does best when his clu’b is ahead. Bill "Swish” Nicholson bopped a two-run homer in the first inning to give him an advantage. However, Hank gave up only one earned run, and showed no indications of the arm trouble that bad prevented him from finishing his last previous five starts with the Yanks. Borowy may have benefited from the uniform change like other maI jor leaguers who put on new duds i this season. Take pitcher Joe

Bowman, for example. Joe seem . ed to have out-lived his with the Boston Red Sox. Un- I claimed on waivers by t he> otiei I seven American league clubs the right-hander went to the beds With Cincinnati, Bowman became almost immediately the Reds mos. effective pitcher. When he lost to the Cubs. 4-1, in the finet game of yesterday's double-header, it marked his third defeat against eight victories. Early in the season ] with the Red Sox, he failed to win while h's.ng two rtiaight. Big Morton Cooper fe another example of new pajamas making the man. While with the St. Lotus Cardinals this year, lie smarted because of a salary squabble. He went nearly a month and won only two games for St. Loo. But after his shift to the Boston Bravea, he won seven and lost one for the best percentage record in the league to date. Even though arm ■ trouble has prevented him from taking his usual turn. Meanwhile Charley "Red Ba,rett, the obscure flinger who went from the Braves to St. Louis as part payment for Cooper, has fit- . ted in swell with the Cards for whom he has won 11 and lost five. . And he has been a workhorse, i When he lost yesterday’s first game i with.the Pirates in a relief role, it t marked his sixth appearance in the | t Cards' last 13 games. It might be mentioned in this - connection that when Buster Adams was shifted from the Phillies t to the Cardinals, he quickly boosts ed his batting average from .234 '■ to .295. And after catcher Frankie s Hayes was transferred from the « Indians to the Athletics, he improvf ed his wand mark from .227 to .246.
