Giant Surge
Has Brooklyn
Worried as—
Harlem River Hofshois
Zoom Upward with 16
Game Winning Streak
By the Associated Press
There's no evidence of panic in
Brooklyn today, but the citizens cf
Flatbu.h are growing uneasy over
the exploits of Leo Duroehcr's surg
ing New York Giants.
The hot shots from the banks of
the Harlem river have soared to
within five game; of the pacc-*et
ing Brooklyn Dodgers on the wings
of a sensational 16-game winning
streak.
The Giants increased their un
beaten streak yesterday as they
took a doubleheader from the
Chicago Cubs, 5-4 in 12 innings
and 6-3.
The Dodgers split a twi-night
doubleheader with Pittsburgh, win
ning the opener, 5-0, but losing the
second game, 5-2.
Americans Idle
The contenders in the tight
American league scramble were
idle. They resume action today
with the Cleveland Indians, out
in front by a game, entertaining
the Philadelphia Athletics while
the runner-up New Ycrk Yankees
are at St. Louis.
The third-place Boston Red Sox
play at Detroit and the fourth place
Chicago White Sox are at home
against Washington.
The Athletics shaded the Detroit
Tigers, 1-0, in the only American
league game yesterday. In other
National league games, the B05t.cn
Braves captured a twi-night double
header from the St, Louis Cardinals,
6-3 and 4-2, and the Philadelphia
Phils swept a twi-night program
from Cincinnati, 2-0 and 3-0.
17th Win
Larry Jansen posted his 17th vic
tory for the torrid Giants in the
opener against Chicago. The Cubs
pushed home a run in the top of th ;
12th but the Giants came right back
with two in their half to pull it out.
The Giants encountered easier
sailing in the second game, run
nlng"Bp S T-T lcad rrr reven tu
nings. Home runs by Ed Stankv
end Mcnte Irvir. eased rookie A1
Corwin to his fifth straight vic
tory without a loss.
New York's amazing winning spell
is the longest in the majors this
year The previous high was 14
compiled by the White Sox in May.
It also is the best Giant streak since
the 193G club won 15 straight and
the longest in the National since
the Cubs put 21 together in 1935,

YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
For many business men and
women, their business life may
end around age 60 or 65. Or
they hope it will.
Then their earnings stop and
all they have to live on there
after is what has been “sent on
ahead" for their retirement
years.
Even if you expect to receive
a pension when you retire, you
probably feel it will not be as
much as you will need in order
to have the comforts to which
you have become accustomed.
To make certain you will
have enough money when you
are ready to retire, adopt a
plan which will require you to
save for it regularly.
A New York Life Endow
ment, maturing at age 65, is
ideally suited for this purpose.
Let me tell you about it.
