Joe Dimagg-io Continues streak

NEW YORK. June 27—(AP)- Joe Dimaggio kept right on hitting- today, getting a single and his 17th home run of the season to run his streak to 39 consecutive games, but New York Yankees were nosed out by Philadelphia Athletics 7-6.

The Yanks‘ slugging centrefielder, striving to pass George Sislers 20- year-old record of hitting safely in 41 straight games, singled 1n his first time at bat to send Johnny Sturm home in the first inn ng at Philadelphia.

His hcme run came in the sev- enlli inning and was the 36th by a

Yankee over arecard string of 22 ‘

consecutive games.

In Detroit, four-hit pitching by Bob Harris ended the mcst distress- ing Jinx of St. Louis Browns who defeated Detroit Tigers 9-0. It was the first St. Louis victory here in 15 starts since April 16, 1940.

Harris permitted only seven Tigers to get on base and none ad- vanced beyond second as he was credited wlth his fourth. victory 0f the season.
