Dodgers, National Race Continues At Torrid Pace Cleveland Breaks Jinx Of Vie Raschl By Win To Cut Yankees' Lead By JOE REICHLER (Auociattd Preu Sport, Writer) Throw the lirst three months out of the window, boys the National league pennant race Is just beginning. It took 14 weeks, but now that the wheat has been separated from the chaff the same old bitter rivals the Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are battling for the coveted prize. That's been the story In six of the last eight years. At the moment, the edge lies with the Cards. Back home from a successful 12-game eastern jaunt, the Redblrds are In first place today, a half-game In front of the slumping Dodgers. As far as the flag Is concerned, the other six clubs can start rebuild ing for next year. The rampant Redblrds, who took over first place from Brook lyn by knocking off the Dod gers three straight In the Brook's own back yard, begin a 19-game home stand today. In the meantime, the Dodgers will play 17 games on the road, beginning with a trio In Chi cago. Yankees' Lead Pared The American league race h, snowing signs 01 occoming a humdinger, too. It appeared prac tically over last week when the pace-setting New York Yankees Knocked off their most persistent challengers the Cleveland In dians two out of three to In crease their margin to five and a half games. Things have changed since then, though. The Tribe went on to take Its next five games, In cluding the big one last night when they whipped the Yankees, 4-2, before 71,354 customers at the Yankee stadium. That cut the Bronx Bombers' lead to only three games, with the two teams clashing again Wednesday and Thursday. The Indians delivered a one two punch, last night. Not only did they defeat the Yankees, but they turned the tables on Vic Raschi, who had whipped them four straight times this year. The Yankee ace went the route for the 15th time, but was tagged for 11 hits and went down to his fourth defeat. He has won 15. Righthander Early Wynn reg istered his eighth victory against two setbacks, but needed help from Satchell Paige In the eighth. Dale Mitchell was Instrumen tal in Cleveland's first two runs. Driving In the first with a long fly, and scoring the second on a fly by Mickey Vernon following his triple. A pair of lapses by the Yankee battery accounted for Cleveland's last two runs. Dodgers, Cardinals Tie In the only National league game, the Dodgers, striving to save something from their dis astrous series with the Redblrds, had to settle for a l.ine-innlng tie as the Cards overcame a 31 LOOK rms SIGN IT IS YOUR PROTECTION Fully Guarantee Reliable Quality Work At No Added Cost Roseburg Chapter P.
