Perry , 120 Cubs Defeat Cards; Phils Edge Dodgers Benton, Detroit Cast-Off, Beats Old Mates, Upping Cleveland In Standings By JOE REICHLER Aetoclated Preta Bporlawrlter Curve-balling Kenny Heintzel man has whipped the Cardinals three times this season. Yet he probably would be elected mayor of St. Louis if he chose to run. Heinlzelman has one recom mendation that already hat en deared him to the hearts of all St. Louisiana. He is the only pitcher who holds five straight decislont over the Cards' most hated rivals, the Brooklyn Dodg ers. Ken is practically a St. Louis citizen, having been born in Peruque, Mo. Were it not for the crafty Philadelphia lefthander the Dodg ers now would he leading the Cardinals by a comfortable mar gin In their battle for the Na tional league pennant. As it is, the Brooks own only a slender half-game edge today. The Cards blew a 4-2 lead in the ninth yesterday when the Chicago Cubs rallied for three runs to win, 5-4. That put the Rcd hirds a full game behind. A Brook lyn victory over Philadelphia would have meant a game and a half advantage. That's where Helntzelman came in. Not content with four straight successes over them. Ken had to hurl a seven-hitter to whip the Dodgers for the fifth time, 21, It took his mates 12 innings to win it for' him, but that they did when Richie Ashbtirn tripled in Kenny in the top of the third extra frame. Helntzelman had reached base on a force out. Don Newcombe was the losing hurler. An old St. Louis nemesis, John ny Schmitz, (jnmbined with Cub first baseman Herman Reich to clip the Redbirds. Schmitz, al ways tough for the Cards to beat, gained his second win over them with a one-inning relief stin'. Reich came through twice with the bases loaded to drive In four runs. He singled in the four'h with the bags occupied, and doubled in the ninth under the same circumstances. Al Benton, a 38-year-old cast off, pitched the Cleveland Indians into second place in the torrid American league race. Benton, released last year by Detroit, stopped his former mates with six hits as the Indiana shut out the Timers, 5-0. The triumph put the Tribe two percentage points over the Boston Red Sox and three and a half games behind the pace-setting New York Yan kees. Rain washed out the sched uled Yankee-Washington game. The Philadelphia Athletic de feated Boston, 7-4, to snap a seven-game winning streak lor the Red Sox. The defeat dropped the Bosox three and a half garnet behind the Yankees. Sam Chap man's eighth-inning home run atarted a four-run rally that spell ed defeat for young Maurice Me Dermott. The victory shoved the Aa Into fourth place, a half game above the Tigers. Lefty Monte Kennedy pitched the New York Giants to a 40 victory over the Boston Braves. Rookie Lloyd Merriman sin gled in the winning run as the Cincinnati Reds nipped the Pitts burgh Pirates, 2-1, in a 10-inning thriller. Howie Kox won the pitchers' duel from Bob Chesnes. Harry Walker had 10 putouts for the Reds, one short of the record set by left fielders. Southpaw Bob Kuzava pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 40 triumph over the St. Louis Browns. He allowed only three hits for his eighth victory. He hat lost only two. Swim Record Broken By Two Japanese LOS ANGKLES. Aug. 17.-4.P) Yes, It's true what they say about the Japanese swimmers. The sons of Nippon returned to international competition with a terrific splash as Hironoshin Kuril hashl, the Japanese distance champion, and his teammate, Shlro Nashlzume, both lowered the world's record for the 1500 meter free style yesterday.
