Battling up the hill toward the first division, the world champion Yankees snatched both ends of a double-header from the Washington Senators Tuesday, 12 to 4 and 3 to 1, for a record of six victories In their last seven starts. The first tussle was a slugging adventure with the Yanks collecting 14 hits and the Senators 12 while the nightcap was a tight pitching duel between Rookie Marvin Breuer if New York and little Rene Monteagudo, Washington's Cuban southpaw. Breuer gave up only seven scattered hits in obtaining his fourth victory and the only run scared against hi mwas a homer by Buddy Lewis in the fourth. Monteagudo permitted nine hits and balked with the bases loaded In the first to let In New York's Initial run. A fly let In another in the same inning and in the third a single by Joe DiMaggio, a double by Bill Dickey and a fly accounted for the final run.

Dickey Finds Range. Dickey, who has been in a slump most of the spring, took a big hand in deciding the first game along with Joe Gordon. Dickey hit a home run with two. on nd a single with two on, getting credit for four runs batted In. Gordon hit his fourth homer and two doubles.

Each team scored a run in the first, but the Yankees sewed up the victory with four runs off Joe Haynes in the second. Mariua Russo opened on the mound for New York and got credit for the victory. Altho shelled hard, he kept out of serious trouble until the eighth, When a double, three singles and a walk gave Washington its last twc runs and brought fireman Johnny Murphy hurrying to the rescue.

BY GLENN TRUMP. Orville Brown, a meanie who well, mistook Hans Schwarz, the former prelim kid, for a sledgehammer Tuesday evening at Landis field and used his handy plledriver hold to win the feature event before a meager crowd. Meaty Mr. Brown's 1 plledriver hold' is not exactly unique. It merely consists of picking up the victim and dropping him on his noggin.

But, as you can imagine, it does get results. Brown applied it first after 25 minutes and 16 seconds of milling. He did It again a minute after the second fall began, and Professor Adam Kreiger awarded the match to Brown rather than have Schwarz suffer any more. Krieger Entertains. The card, as -a whole, was high ly entertaining due mainly to the fact Krieger wore the referee's pants.

When things got dull, Krieger slipped in to get entangled in either the wrestler's feet or the ropes. In the opener, Angelo Martint at one time had a foothold on Adam and a stranglehold on opponent Friti Schnabel. The match. Incidentally, went to a draw after 20 minutes of mixing. Friedrich Otto Von Schacht, who now claims Milwaukee as his home, tossed Miami's Al Lovelock In 18:40 with a body slam to take the semifinal.

May Meet Pesek. Von Schacht, who has 245 pounds distributed around his 6-5 frame, may get a shot at 01' Jawn Pesek next week. Ringside visitors included Chief Tomahawk, a 255 pound Indian from Oklahoma, whose every other sentence was "You wanta rassle He may get his chance on next week's bill.

Owner Phil Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs wired Presldent.Bob Qulnn of the Boston Bees advising him to pay no attention to published reports that the Cubs were in the market for Boston players. Qulnn expressed indignation Tuesday over stories that the Cubs were interested in buying or trading for Shortstop Eddie Miller. He charged the Cubs were making his players dissatisfied. "I know and you must know that no proposition was made by either side for any definite play era or players or amounts of cash," Wrigley wired.
