While Dizzy Dean wu being ban ned and refusing to sign any and all apologies yesterday, three other old established firms and two new ones were making potent bids for reoognl tlon on a basis of servloes rendered The trio of veterans who passed new milestones of effectiveness were, la the order of their teams' stsnd lng: Da it II Elijah (Cy) Blanton, Charley Ruffing and Van tingle Mungo. Blanton pitched his third shutout In setting down the Boston Bens, 34, and keeping the Pirates on top of the national heap; Buffing got his fourth straight victory In a seven' hit, 8-4 shellacking of the Indians to strengthen the Yankee's American league margin to four games, and Mungo, big Brooklyn righthander who pitched the Dodgers to within a half game of the Cards by halting St. Louis, 6-2.

His game winning homer was his second In three days and broke up a wild ball game during which the Tiger Infield ers made six errors. Jack Russell, who pitched the last Inning, was credited with the victory, and Joe Cascarella, who hurled the last two, waa the, loser for the Nats. In the only other game played, the Cincinnati Reds, with three double plays to their rivals' four, whipped the Phillies, 8-4. The Athletics, at St. Louis, and the Red Sox at Chi cago, were rained out.
