By United Press NEW YORK, July 24—Joe Di Maggio’s bat is booming again and the New York Yankees are back in the win column today. The lean, lithe rookie outfielder who sets the tempo for the New
Yorkers as truly as Babe Ruth did in his heyday has come out of the
slump that followed his flop in the
All-Star game at Boston July 7. Some predicted that Joe would be marred permanently by his collapse in the inter-league classic, when he went hitless in five times at bat and booted two drives to con- . tribute to the : National League WH i All - Stars’ ¢-3 Di Maggio victory. a cople of weeks; -but -the past-two days Joe has cracked out’ three home runs and a pair of singles to push six tallies over the plate and warn the critics he’s on the warpath
again. : The first of the trio of fourbaggers was made for a losing game on Wednesday. But Joe’s:two homers and a single ‘driving in a total of four runs paced the Yanks to a 15-3 victory over the St. Louis Browns yesterday as the New Yorkers ended a three-game losing streak and stretched their lead over second-place Cleveland to eight games. The Clevelanders lost to the Boston Red Sox, 9-8, although outhitting their opponents, 18-13. Detroit held on to third place as Tommy Bridges registered a 2-0 shutout over the Philadelphia Athletics. Pitcher Vernon Kennedy won his own game with a single in the eighth as Chicago defeated Washington, 7-6. The National League fight tightened as the second-place St. Louis Cardinal® defeated the New York Giants, 4-2, while the first-place Chicago Cubs lost to Brooklyn, 6-5. Pittsburgh replaced the Giants in third place as Cy Blanton fanned eight to As the Philadelphia Phillies, 1 The Boston Bees defeated C tl, 4-0. :
