Reds Lose The Reds lost two out of three to thei terrible Phillies, them moved on to Brooklyn and won three out of four from the first place Dodgers. 1 In the American league the Yankees beat, the champion Brownies two out of three in St. Louis after dropping eight in a row there, then lost four out 01 five at Chicago and three out of four at Cleveland. The Senators and their slim catcher, Rick Ferrell, made news yesterday.

While the cellar-dwelling Hol lywood Stars went without a cir cuit clout, they continued their winning streak to put San Diego down 6 to 0 for their third in o row over the Padres. The Acorns evened their scries with Portland as pitcher Red Mann blanked the Beavers with eight well-scatlcrcd hits. Scar sella hit four lor four. Sacramento emerged with a 3 to I edge in their series with San Francisco by virtue of an 8 to 3 triumph. A four-run flurry in the fourth, including Jess Land drum's home run for two tallies, sent San Franjisco pitcher Bob Barthelson. to the showers. The Seals homer was sent over the fence by Kay Perry in the fourth. A pitchers' duel between the Angels' Don Osborne and the Rainiers' leflhanded Chet John son held the Seattle Los Angeles game scoreless until the seventh, when Norbert strode to the plate to lambast one over the left field wall. The win gave Seattle a 3 to 1 lead in the current series. Charier Urged To Probe Cubs Action CHICAGO, July 6 (UP) The Daily News today asked Sen. A. B.
