Cardinals Beat Cincinnati In Double Header Illi New York. July 7 (UP)-Jim Hearn, a kid pitcher with an tin impressive background, was getting a big share of the credit today for keeping the world champion St. Louis Cardinals within striking distance of first place. Hearn, who won only four games and lost five with the Cardinals' Columbus farm club of the Ameri can Association last season, wasn't expected to be hanging his shirt on the hallowed hooks reserved tor the world champions this year. After a workout with the club in spring training he wax supposed to have been ticketed for another stretch in the minors, but when the season started the regular pitchers went sour and Hearn wax kept around, getting occasional fill-in assignments. When such stalwarts as Howie Pollet and Murry Dickson failed to hit a winning stride. Hearn got to start a game once in a while. Yesterday, he' won his third game In a row and his first major league shutout, topping the Reds at Cincinnati, 3 to 0, and setting the tempo for Dickson who won the second game. 2 to 0. with his best pitching of the year. Hearn gave up only three hits in winning his fifth game while Dickson yielded but four In winning his third against nine losses Oddly, no Cardinal runs in either game were driven in with hits. In the first game two runs scored on a freak play in which Marty Marlon, who had tripled, was hit in the head at home plate ax he came in after an outfield fly. The ball bounced into the Cardinal dugout and Del Rice came home from second base. The other run also wax scored on a wild throw. In the second game. |>oth runs were driven in on long flies. Al Schoendienst counting after a triple and Whitey Kurowskl after walking and taking third on Enos Slaugh ter's double. The Dodgers regained first place when riflin' Ralph Branca won his 12th game and his third shutout knocking the Braves out of the lead with a three-hit. 4 to 0 de cision in Brooklyn. Doubles by Brace Edwards, Johnny Jorgensen and Pewee Reese were the main offensive blows. The Giants were held without a homer after setting a new National league mark of 37 in 16 consecutive games, hut they topped the Phils at Philadelphia, 4 to 3, getting all their runs in the third Inning. Willard Marshall drove In two of the tallies with a single. 1-arry Jansen went all the way to score his seventh victory. A homer by Del Ennis was the big one among the seven hits he yielded. The Pirates got good pitching to win a double header for the first time this season, defeating the Cubs at Pittsburgh. 6 to 2 behind Ernie Bonham's eight-hit flinging, then 10 to 0 as old Fritz Ostermueller carved a six-hit shutout. Hank Greenberg. Frankie Gustine, and Jimmy Bloodworth hit first game homers and Billy Cox. Wally Westlake, Elbie Fletcher and Gustine made three hits apiece In the 16-hit second game attack. The Yankees took two from the Athletics at New York, 8 to 2 and 9 to 2. New York capitalized on big rallies to win each game. Joe DiMaggio sparking a five-run first Inning rally In the opener with a three-run homer. Larry Berra also hit a homer. The Yankees broke loose with seven runs to liquidate a 2-al I tie and extend their winning streak to eight games in the nightcap.

Pat Mullin got two first game homers tor Detroit while Dick Wakefield hit one and Paul Lehner got one for St. Louis. The Red Sox cashed In on Washington's defsnsive lapses and spotty pitching to win 7 to 4 and 10 to 1 decisions at Boston. Six errors paved the way to victory In the first game. Uncle Denny Galehouse had little trouble in annexing hla third straight triumph since coming from the' ■ Browns in the second game after Hhis mates gave him a seven-run lead in the first inningCleveland topped the White sox, I to 1, at Chicago with Larry Doby. negro star, playing first base tn the second game of a double bill after the Indians lost the opener,
