Dodgers Again Lead League Boston Braves Easily Beaten In Two Games Cardinals Defeated By Ex-Teammate, Dickson; Bosox and Yankees Idle By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer The Brooklyn Dodgem held the upper hand in the national lea gue's pennant scrap today while the Ameircan leapue's scram ble remained a dead heat be tween the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Brooklyn, preseason favorite to cop the national's bunting, roared Into the lead yesterday by mopping up the 1918 kingpin Boston Braves, 9-2 and 80, while the St. Louis Cardinals lost again to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-2. The Dodgers' killing In Boston boosted the Brooks half a game ahead of the Cardinals. Brooklyn has two games left to play with the third place Phils in Phila delphia while the Cards have three to go with the last place rubs in Chicago. Yanks, Red Sox Rained Out While the Dodgers ascended to the top of the National league, rain kept the Red Sox and Yank, tied for blue ribbon honors in the American league. New York's game with the Philadelphia Athletics in the sta dium was rained out as was the encounter between the Red Sox and the last place Senators In Washington. The two American league con tenders are scheduled to play off their washed out games to day. If rain again Intervened the games will be cancelled, as the Yanks and Red Sox are sched uled to open a two-game series in the stadium on Saturday. Braves Easy For Brooks Brooklyn had no trouble 1 n whipping the Braves yesterday. The Braves were In the game for only three Innings In the opener and they might as well have "stayed in bed" for the nightcap. Warren Spahn, the National's only 20-game winner, gave pre acher Roe, crafty Brooklyn left hander, run for h!s money for three Innings In the first game. Tied, 00, going into the fourth the Dodgers ripped Spahn for five runs. Duke Snider drove home the first three with his 23rd home run.

Dickson Baffles Cardinals Little Murry Dickson, former Cardinal hurler, spiked his for mer mates pennant hopes. Dickson hurled a brilliant six hitter while the Pirates banged Gerrv Staley, Howie Pollet and Ted Wilks for nine blows. It was Dickson's fifth triumph of the year over the Cards. me Pirates Broke a 11 tie with a four-run rally In the sixth. Pete Castlglione singled home the first run to put the Pirates in front, 21, and Chase Staley, Pollet took over and was greet ed with a two-run double by Mon te Hasgall.

Many local citizens consider the Indians as the winner choice for tonight' game against the Bobcats, on the strength of their 14 0 showing against Coqullle last Friday. However, Coach Cece Sherwood does not share In this optimism and states frankly that he's "worried about this one." The coach has good cause for worry. Last week, Myrtle Point, rated highly this year, fought to a 1414 lie with a Marshfield team generally considered the strongest in District 3. The Bobcats' version of the famed Michigan offense may prove a stumbling block to Rose burg's hopes of keeping Its dis trict record intact. According to scouting reports. Myrtle Point plays its quarterback up close be hind the center to give the signal caller an opportunity to handle the ball himself or call for a straight pass, back to one of the other backfifld. The line Is un balanced to the right. Air Duel Probable However, the Indians have been drilling heavily against Myrtle Point plays, gleaned from scouting last week's Myrtle roint-Marshfield game. Evidence that tonight's game may see both teams stressing an air attack Is seen from the pass offense and defense emphasized during Rose burg workouts this week. But Sherwood may stick to th.' ground plays which proved so ef fective against Coquille last week when the Indians rolled up ten yards gained, all but five yards coming on ground plays. A traveling squad of 28 play ers, two coaches and a pair of managers will arrive in Myrtle Point in time for an early supper at 4:30 this afternoon.

DUCKETTS St. Louis Castoff Major Jinx Of Cardinals' Drive CHICAGO, Sept. 30-(JP)- Battle-weary and disgruntled, Eddie Dyer absolutely refused to dis cuss Murry Dickson today, but It probably will be many, many months before the Cardinal skip per will stop dreaming of his for mer star pitcher. "We've talked too much about Dickson all year," was Dyer's terse comment when asked to account for the righthander's amazing success over the Red birds this season. " Dickson's motive Is not re venge, as the hurler pointed out himself right after he had pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to a crush ing 7-2 triumph over his former mates yesterday. In fact, Munv frankly stated he wanted to see the Cards win the pennant. But that did not stop him from whipping the Birds five times this year, more than any other national league pitcher. His stunning slx-hltter yester day uprooted the Cards from first place and dropped them half a game behind the blazing Brook lyn Dodgers. '1 hold no resentment against the St. Louis club for letting me go," he said grimly.
