St. Martins. The final match, which lasted only 66 minutes, came as an anti-climax to the five set semi-final matches on Saturday. Disappointed as they no doubt were at the one-sided ness of the match, the spectators couid not help but marvel and applaud the 30-year-old red-headed Budge, who raked the court with backhand drives, forcing shots and overhead smashes.

But yesterday two of these spectacular slides by Sam Chapman coupled with clever, courageous and inspiring pitching by young Bb Savage gave the Athletics a splendid 4-1 triumph over the Yankees in the second game of the doubleheader at Shibe Park and an even break for the day before 27.169 after New York had won the first tilt, 7-3. The Yankees not only, lost valuable ground in their chase after th tted Sox by the defeat, but lost the services of Joe DiMaggio for at least a week. DiMaggio pulled a cartilage in his left knee and sprained his left ankle sliding into second base on a two-bagger to left in the second inning of the first game.

The Injury will keep Joe out of the All-Star game at Boston tomorrow. CHAPMAN STARS Chapman scored twice from thud base, once in the second inning oa a ball hit to short and again in the fourth on a tiny fly back of second to give the A's their victory. And In both Inst nines he would have been easily thrown out if he had not eluded Aaron Robinson, Yrnikr cati her. with miinif enl Klulc.v honors wiih Chapman, who also drove in the A's fourth run with a single, was Savage. The young righthander, a hero of the Italian campaign, pitched with the courage he showed in the trenches before Cassino.

Time and again was in trouble but each time, facing the brink of disaster, he turned back the threatening New Yorkers for his first major league victory. YANKS TAKE LEAD The Yankees jumped off to a 1-0 lead off Savage in the first inning when Phil Rizzuto walked, went to second on George Stirnweiss' sacrifice, stole third and came home on Tommy Henrich's fly to left. But the A's tied it in the second. Chapman beat out a hit to Joe Gordon and by glittering speed on tha paths took third on Hank Majeski sacrifice buot. The Yankees called the Infield in to cut Chapman off at the plate and when Pete -Suder hit to Rizzuto it looked as if the outfielder would be an easy out.

But Rizzuto's peg was a bit high and Chapman with a breathtaking slid crossed the plate. CHAPMAN SCORES In the fourth Chapman drew a walk and after Majeski fouled to Robinson, went to third on Suder's safety to right. Gene Handley then lifted a short fly back of second to Johnny Lindcll, who has a powerful arm. Once again it looked like suicide to try to score but Chapman went for home. The peg was a little to the right ot the plate.

Chapman did a perfect fadeaway to the left and brushed the plate with what proved to be the winning run. Suder came over with the third tally a moment later on Gene De-sautels' safety. And in the eighth Chapman sent Barney McCosky over the plate with a single. It was a different story in the first game. The Yankees walked and socked their way to a 7-3 victory by scoring five runs in the seventh to erase a 3-2 deficit.

KELLER HITS I8TH With one out in the "unluckv" seventh Luther Knerr walked Jew Gordon and Pinchhittcrs Bill Johnson and Bill Dickey in order to load the sacks. Russ Christopher then came to the mound and Stirnweiss sent Gordon home with the tying run on a fly to McCosky. Henrich then singled to score Johnson and Charley Keller followed with his 18th home run of the season. Flit XT IIAMK Kascbail Facts A I ION A I. I Wlcrf1n.v' llemilK New 1rk.

July 7. New York moved into sixth place and Philadelphia dropped to seventh at the Polo Grounds today as the revivified Giants completed a sweep of their three-game series with the Phillies by winning both ends of a double-header, 2-1 and 10-2. A crowd of 28.072, of whom 27,252 paid, saw the Giants pound out 16 safeties, including a home run and three doubles, to snap Schoolboy Rowe's four-game winning streak in the second game after Dave Koslo had bested Ken Raflensberger In a duel between left handers. One of those patented Polo Grounds homers, a blooper fly that sailed 294 feet to bounce off the rail of the right-field grandstand, beat Raflensberger in the opener despite the fact that the Phillies outhit the Giants. 7-4.

One was on when Mickey Witek dunked his hit in 'the first inning, and that proved the ball game. Koslo kept the Phillies' hits well scattered, however, and grew stronger as the game progressed, thereby gaining his fourth mound triumph in 12 days. One of the others, am, also came at the expense of the Phillies last Sunday's 8-1 Jolt Shibe Park. Mft'ORMICK HITS 8TH It looked as though the Phila-delphians might still hold sixth place, however when with two out and Johnny Wyrostek on base In the first inning of the second game. Hank McCormick lined one into the left-field lower deck for his eighth home run of the year.

But the Phillies could not hold this 2-0 edge. With two out, Witek singled, Johnny Mize hit a fly which Del Ennis lost in the sun and Walker Cooper doubled to reduce the Phils' lead immediately and in the second frame, aided by another error, the Giants knotted the count. XEWSOME ERRS This time Skeeter Newsome. after scooping up a hard grounder, threw poorly to first base, and Goodie Rosen was safe. He got to third on Buddy Kerr's hit and tallied on Monte Kennedy's long fly to Ennis.

Kennedy thus figured in batting home hi.s own fourth' victory, against four defeats, but subsequent developments proved his RBI entirely superfluous. New York went ahead with two more runs in the Continued on Page 24. Column 3 A. L. Favored Despite Loss Of DiMaggio BOSTON, July 7 (UP).

The American League All-Stars still stood tonight as 3 to 1 favorites to defeat the National League in Tuesday's annual "dream game" at Fenway Park, despite the loss of Joe Di-Maggio. key Yankee slugger, who was injured today at Philadelphia. Manager Steve O'Neill. Detroit, contacted there shortly before departing by train for the game, said that he had not decided on a replacement for DiMaggio, but probably would announce a substitute tomorrow when he arrives here. That made it virtually certain that the replacement would be from one of the American League Eastern teams, Boston, New York, Philadelphia or Washington, since there would not be time for a player from a Western club to make the trip to Boston on such short notice.

O'Neill, who said he had not decided on his starting lineup, named Bobby Feller, Cleveland, as his starting pitcher and indicated he would follow with his own ace, Hal Newhouser, and winding up the game with Spud Chandler. Yankees. All three pitchers worked today. Feller beating Chicago. 3-2, Newhouser blanking St.

Louis, 3-0. and Chandler dropping a 4-1 decision to the Athletics. Two of the National League pitchers also worked. Howie Pollet, Cardinals, shut out Pittsburgh, 6-0, giving up only three hits, while Kirby Higbe was the losing pitcher for Brooklyn in a relief role at Boston, (3-2. Scouts to See Tomorrow There is no charge for admission.

The twin bill will be witnessed by scouts from the majority of major league baseball teams. Washington owner-president Clark Griffith has requested that his talent discoverer be admitted to the committee composed of A's and Phils representatives and big league scouts who will select the outstanding player to compete in the third annual East-West Esquire game. The judgment of the committee a year ago was sound indeed, for the player chosen, Curt Simmons, contributed so heavily to the East's victory that the Coplay Post outfielder was proclaimed 1945 All-American Boy.

and the victory was worth $2500 to him. OLIVER SECOND Oliver's great last round of 66, only a stroke off the course record, gave him second place with a 72-hole count of 278 and he picked up a check for $1400.

S. Fight PARIS, July 7 (UP). Marcel Cerdan, 157, France, clinched an autumn shot at the world middleweight title by winning a 10-round decision tonight over Holman Williams, 159, Detroit Negro, who had been sent over to test his ability. Cerdan, middleweight champion of France and outstanding professional boxer in Europe, has been promised a New York title fight with the winner of the July 25 bout at New York between Champion Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano. Cerdan's rushing, wind-mill attack carried him to victory over the more scientific Williams, who gave Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis his first boxing lessons 13 years ago.

Cerdan took considerable punish- out frames at their expense to 26. The Tigers cashed onlv four hits off Starter Tex Shirley, the loser, and Relief Hurler Ellis Kinder. The single game drew 31.428 Detroit's smallest Sunday turnout of the year and boosted the Bengals' 194(5 home attendance to 913,490. FELLER TAKES 15TH Cleveland's Bob Feller kept a victory back of Newhouser by racking up No. 15 in the Indians' 3-2 opener with the Chicago White Sox.

The Pale Hose came back to take the i nightcap, 5-0. as Ed Lopat, handed a five-run lead before he had pitched a. ball, limited the Tribe to two singles. Giving up 10 hits, about twice his usual quota, and fanning only six. about half the number he normally whin's.

Feller ran hi.s strikeout total i to 190 for 180 innings. He bested i Orval Grove, likewise nicked for 10 i base knocks, on an unearned run in the eighth that broke a 2-all tie. In the final only George Case first man to face him, and Gene Woodling. a seventh-inning pinch-hitter, got safeties off Lopat. KEI SOX WIN PAIR The Boston Red Sox went on a swat spree at Griffith Stadium, cracked out 30 hits and swept a doubleheader front the Washington Senators.

11-1 and 9-4. Ted Williams' 23d homer, clouted in the third inning of the opener, was the big blow of the Sockers' hit parade. The sweep boosted Boston's league lead to seven and a half games over the New York Yankees. Cecil (Tex) Hughson, backed up by 18 hits, breezed to his ninth de cision in the opener. The afterpiece victory was credited to Glen Driese-werd, on duty until the seventh.

Bobby Doerr, out for two days with a split thumb, returned the Sox' lineup and will be available for the All-Star game tomorrow. DODGERS DIVIDE Coming from behind with a two-run rally in the ninth, the Boston Braves took the first of two trom the Brooklyn Dodgers, 3-2, but Joe Ilatten scattered nine hits to give the league leaders the nightcap, 4-2. Bama Rowell's single with two out won the opener giving Kirby Higbe his second setback within three days. The St. Louis Cards sliced Brooklyn's first-place margin to five games with a twin triumph their first Sunday doubleheader sweep at home all season over Pittsburgh's last-place Pirates.

Joe Garagiola's ninth-inning scratch single with the bases loaded won the first. 4-3: Howie Pollet left-handed the Cards to a 6-0 three-hit nightcap victory Two home runs and a single by Outfielder Ed Lukon that punched over five runs paced the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 verdict over the Chi- cago Cubs before 27,498 at Wrigley Field.

Itohson Out of Gas, Loses Auto Race A1LANTA, July 7 (UP) Ted Horn, of Paterson, N. won a fast 50-mile auto race feature at Lakewood Park today when George Robson, of California, ran out of gas almost as he was being flagged in as winner. Tommy Hinnerschitz, of and Bill Holland, of Bridgeport. also streaked by the stalled Robson to pick up place and show honors respectively.

Horn, who clicked off the 50 miles in the "very fast time of 36 minutes. ZZ seconds, picked up $1500 first prize money. lasted two hours and furnished lightning exchanges. The tournament which drew a gate of $10,000 found the profession-el percentage parceled with Van Horn pocketing about $800. netting more than $500 for singles mnnerup and around $300 for his share as doubles runnerup.

Budge picked up approximately $800 for his singles victory while Perry and Kovacs each took nearly $400 for their doubles triumph. TERRIFIC PACE Van Horn, National professional titleholder who will defend his pro-crown at Forest Hills, L. looked pathetic once Budge set his devastating pace, which the loser at no time could match although he tried desperately. The winner did not resemble the same weary-looking Budge who barely climbed uphill, after dropping the first two sets, to beat Fred Perry, former British Davis Cup ace, in his gruelling semifinal brush the previous day. The inspired red had was all over the court, playing with confidence and coming in for kills at the net against Van Horn.

The keenly disappointed Van Horn had gained the finals via upset victories over Frank Kovacs and Riggs, seeded third and first, on successive days. As a result his stock had taken a decided upward trend, with expectations or at least a limit five-set duel when he met Budge, the only grand slam winner in tennis history who won the English.
