Barker (Associated Press Sports Writer) Max Carey's Brooklyn Dodgers have become formidable contenders for the National league pennant. Triumphant In 16 of their last 20 games, the Dodgers today rested In third place, three games back of the second place Pittsburgh Pirates and only three and a half games behind the pace-setting Chicago Cubs. - What makes the Dodger streak more remarkable Is that they have won without consistent pitching. In the 20 games only eight times has the starting pitcher remained for the fin ish. Timely hitting, especially by Lefty O'Doul,. and effective relief pitching have . contributed to the spurt. There waa" nothing wrong with Bill Clark's pitching yesterday, however, as the Dodgers blanked the New York Giants, 1-0. Clark gave up only four hits. His mates collected 12 but made only one run as the giants completed six double plans and equalled the major league record. Chuck Klein hit two home runa. his 34th and 36th of the season, and drove in five runs as the Phillies trounced the Boston Braves. 8-1. In the American league, the Cleve land Indians moved Into a tie with the Philadelphia Athletics for second place by beating Detroit, 3-1, while the A's were dropping' a 2-1 decision to the Boston Red Sox. Ivy Paul Andrews broke the Red Sox' lt-game losing streak as h held the A's to five hit and fanned eight men, Simmons three times. ' t Sport Slants . . . By Alan J.
