TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1938. Giants Batter Reds 11 to 2, Then Swap Berger By HUGH S. FULLERTON Associated Press Sports Wrllcr. One of those trades that are described optimistically as helping boih clubs, completed Just before the Giants left Cincinnati yesterday lends lustre to the "crucial" four- game tussle between New York and Chicago which gets underway today. The league leadership is at stake and the Giants figure they got just What they needed when they obtained Alex Kampouris from the Reds yesterday in an even swap for big Wally Berger.

a spars outfielder. Since Burgess Whitehead was laid low by appendicitis this spring, the Terrymen have been sadly afflicted by the lack of a dependable man at the keystone corner. They tried Lou Chiozza and Mickey Haslin. But neither had the answer. The Giants, recalling an old "hoodoo," tuned up for today's game by pasting the Reds, 11-2, in their farewell game yesterday while the Cubs retained their half-game lead with a 10-8 decision over the Phillies.

The Cubs, trying to gst along without using any first-run pitchers, were hard pressed to hold off the Phils as Al Eppcrly weakened after being given a 3-0 lead in ths first inning; Charley Root went out in the seventh and Jack Russell was clobbed hard. Jimmie Foxx of the Boston Red Sox, Ken Chase and Zeke Bonura of Washington, and Roy Henshaw of the St. Louis Cardinals, wers the headline performers in the day's other leading games. Foxx paced the Red Sox in a come-back that enabled them to out Detroit, 8-7, after trailing by five runs in the seventh. Foxx clubbed his fourteenth homer, drove in three other counters and finally scored the winning run.

The Senators had to go 11 innings hut they finally checked the Cleveland Indians' progress, 5 to 4, as Chase hurled seven-hit ball for the 'first 10 innings and Bonura doubled to score Al Simmons with the winning run. The defeat cut Clevaland's American league lead to three games as the New York after spotting the St. Louis Browns five runs in the fourth, came back win out. 6-5. Henshaw, who remained witli the Cards because Commissioner Landis wouldn't let them send him to Rochester, pitched six-hit ball to beat the Boston Bees, 11-2.

For the second straight day, Brooklyn had one big- inning and beat Pittsburgh, 9-4, seven runs on as many hits in the first inning and the other two in the second.

Shippers Chalk Up Three Homers SCHMEUIfG WANTS JACOBS IN it FOR LOUIS BOOT By GAYLE TALBOT. SPECULATOR, N.

Joe has been in the schlager's corner in all of his fights in America.

In fact, the- little manager was given 50-50 credit the night of 1930 that Max won the heavyweight title from Jack Sharkcy on a foul. It was he who swarmed into the ring and convinced Referee Jim Crowlcy that Max had been swatted beneath the bslt. Further, Max says, it was Jacobs who invaded Joe Louis' dressing rocm the evening of thuir firsc fight and saw to it tnat the negro wore only the stipulated quantity of bandage and tire tape around his lifts instead of the lethal dose had been administering to prior opponents. It is seldom that tho German ivorks himself info such positive slate cf mind about anything. It acssibly is accounted for by the fact ihat he had reached top condition too soon and i.s on edge.

FUGITIVES FROM DUST BOWLS PORTLAND, June 7 Meager subsistence in hovels on the fringe of civilization have been the lot of scores of weary men, women and children who left the nation's dust bowls in dilapidated automobiles to seek a promised land in Oregon.

in money, implements, stock and intelligence. For the majority of others, unheard of and unknown, there is only desolation. Deep in Oregon's rich farm, dairy and orchard region, a middle aged man with a tubercular wife, two sons and three daughters took precarious refuge in their flight from eastern Colorado. The environment shocked a hardened relief investigator. Ths mother and father slept in a more like a boxcar.

It teetered on its rusty jacks when the wind blew. Chickens wandered in and out of ths flapping door, at home on a soiled, untidy bed or hopping from broken chair to grubby table. Two boys of pre-school age slept on a bursting mattress in a packing' box hut. Tlie chickens had been there, too. A flea-bitten collie piip slept on the boys' bed.

The of them went to a distant high cshool in the county a shack a few yards up the slope. It was tidier. goats provided milk. The only cow was dry. A few vegetable plants pushed through soil around fir stumps.

A ragged, sturdy Kansas plains family had set up a half-tent, half- shack home en another hillside. Frcm the canvas covered doorway they looker! out' upon fertile orchards and clover fields sweeping westward to the cool coastal mountains. The father toiled on a seven-acre tract felling fir and hewing and sawing it into cordwood. His labor was the price of his tenancy. The fuel will be sold in tewn and the slim rsvenue may provide a crop among the next season.

The Cubs, leading the Giants by a half game, placed their hopes of tightening their top-spot grip on the right arm of Big Bill Lee, who has won his last five games, three shutout performances. For the Giants it was Cliff Melton, the 25- year-old southpaw who had seven victories and only two defeats at his record this season. The two' teams were pre-season chcices to battle it out for the senior circuit flag and appears the experts may. ring the bell with that forecast.

After, a month and half of skirmishing the Cubs were four games ahead of the third place Boston aggregation, while the Giant's lead on the Bees was only a half-game less.
