New York, June 22.
Hopes of the New York Yankees to overtake the Cleveland Indians in the current crucial series for first place ^in the American League received a devastating setback today when the Indians took both ends of a double header from the Yankees by 3-1 and 7-1.
The Yankees were in extremely bad luck to lose the opener, Lefty Gomez being touched for only three hits. All the blows, however, were undied in the first inning, when singles by Bruce Campbell, Samm Hale and Earl Averill were mixed up with a costly error and a walk to produce the trio of tallies.
Mel Harder, with a 3-0 lead to work on, pitched good ball to hold the Yankees completely in subjection, In the nightcap, the Indians scored three in the third and three in the eighth to pave the way to their 7-1 triumph. Jeff Heath led the batting parade with a double and two singles, while Bruce Campbell homered wi two mates aboard to drive in three runs.
