Champs Size It Up as Close Battle: Think Well of ‘Reds, However. |

{12 By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 28 —Here’s a

tip from the Yanks to the Reds:

play it over again. National League : champions will know they've won until they see]

The most certain thing in baseball is the uncertainty of the National League pennant races! The Yankees don’t think the Reds are in, even though they have a larger lead than the Bronx Bombers have in the American League. | . The Yanks had an off day yester= day because of rain. While waiting for the game to be called, they fell to discussing the National League race.

“The National League pennant won't be clinched anti the team in first place has a seven-game lead with only six games left to play,” said Lefty Gomez, the - whimsical Yankee southpaw. “Even then the team in first place probably won't win. They’ll dig/up a protested game, toss At out, and- make the leaders I doubt if the

the Reds because most of the conversation was about them. Someone mentioned that Bucky Walters had won 17 games for the Reds. ° | “He must pitch every day and at hight, t00,” said Charlie Ruffing. “Yeh,” he does pitch at night,” said Gomez. i “I wonder how" dood Walters will be next year?” Ruffing asked. Outside the locker room Joe DiMaggio was lying on a trunk, looking at the ceiling. He is batting .408 and doesn’t have a thing to worry about. “I'm going out after the batting title this year,” said Joe. “I'm trying to keep my average up above .400. I'm not trying for homers. Homers don’t mean much unless they drive in runs. I am just trying to meet the ball and get singles and doubles,” Cincinnati built its lead back to 10 games yesterday, Punching a double Victory over the Bees, 6-1 and 9-8

Though the big grey gelding’ failed by 2% sec3

(11 innings). Paul Derringer won his 14th game in the opener. Peaches Davis won the nightcap. .in a relief role after fhe.Reds blew an 8-4 lead in the eighth and ninth, MeCormick’s double and Bordagaray's single settled the second game. Attracting a crowd of 16,296, the Reds went over the million mark, bringing the paid attendance for 86 games to 1,003,180. The Cardinals regained second place by defeating the Giants, 9-4, while the Phillies broke a sevengame losing streak with a 9-8 triumph over the Pirates. Don Padgett's pinch homer with the bases loaded featured the Cards’ win. The Phils halted a Pittsburgh rally in the ninth with a double play to get under the wire safely. Bill Lee in Form ~ Bill Lee won No. 11 as the Cubs

beat the Dodgers, 3-1. Lee gave up only five hits. Rip Russell's single

with the bases loaded drove in the

Cubs’ two big runs. Scoring six runs in the last two
