MEDFORTV OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1941 Dodgers Gling to Game and Half Lead by Dividing With Cardinals BROOKLYN GRABS NIGHTCAP. 3-2; IP FIRST. 7-3 Wyatt's Single In 9th Wins Second Tilt Reds Take Pair From Giants. To Speak Here By Judtoa Bailey Associated Press Writer. Long after this season Is over and the stirring struggle of the St. Louis Cardinal and Brook' lyn Dodgers for the National league pennant nas Deen seiuea one thrill will remain memora hla for 31.000 baseball fans. Tor the fanatics packed Into Ebbets field at yesterday's cru cial double-header between the foremost rivals of the senior circuit, the season reached a high point when Whitlow Wyatt singled in the ninth Inning to snatch a 3-2 victory In the face of encroaching darkness and uv Brooklyn's came and nan lead over the Cardinals, who had swept majestically to a i-i triumDh In the first encounter. It was a finish lifted right Out of a scenario. The teams were playing for big stakes ana the SL Louis victory in the ooener had cut the Dodgers lead to a half-game. Wyatt, a grand veteran, was wrapped in a breathless pitcning auei wtui 20-year-old Howard Pollet, a lefthander who had been a sen sation In the Texas league till the Redblrds promoted him 10 days ago. Jam la Fourth - Pollet pitched superbly, al lowing only five hits till the ninth. But he got Into a Ism In the fourth Inning and Dixie Walker smashed a double along the leftfield line for two runs. The Cardinals had counted a run In the first on three singles and In the eighth they tied the score with another on a double by Coaker Triplett and a single by Frank (Creepy) Crespl. With this the situation when the Dodgers came to bat for the last time, Peewee Reese laid perfect bunt down the third base line for a single. Mickey Owen sacrificed with an equally-effective bunt down the first base line. . Then Manager Leo Durocher came trotting in from the coach ing box and put his arm around Wyatt- The fan expected a plnchhltter. Instead Durocher let Wyatt bat for himself. The conference, he ssld later, was Just to tell Wyatt to wait for curve ball. The curve came on the first pitch and Wyatt, who swings the heaviest bat on the Brooklyn club, met it squarely. It was a single that ihot straight into center and put the Dodger back In a commanding position for the rest of this series, a game today and another tomorrow. The victory was Wyatt's 17th. White Wins loth In winning the first game, the Cards hammered out a doxen hits, Including seven doubles. They did everything right and Ernie White, their southpaw star, pitched steady, nine-hit ball for his 18th triumph. They clubbed Kirby Hlgbe off the scene In less than three Innings. - The Cincinnati Reds, coming fast but probably too late, gained a game on both the lead ers by trouncing the New York Giants, 13-B, and 0-4. Supposed ly a weak-hlttlng club, they made 33 hit in the two games. The flying Phillies cut down the Chicago Cubs twice, 8-5 and ?, while the Pittsburgh Pirates split with the Boston Braves. Boston took the 12-lnning open er, 4-3, and Pittsburgh the night cap 7-3, in six stanzas. : The New York Ysnkees showed any doubtful American leaguers and 44.2SS Chicago fans that they still were boss by swsmplng the second-place White Sox, 9-1 and 8 9. Charley Keller hit his 31st and 32nd home runs. Tribe Takes Pair The St. Louis Browns put the Washington Senators through a 4-3 10-inning wringer to bounce from the cellar Into sixth place. Rain postponed the sec ond game of their scheduled double-header. Al Benton pitched the Detroit Tigers to a 7-4 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics. The Cleveland Indians downed the Boston Red Sox, 4-3 and 9-2, holding the Red Sockers to seven hits In the first game and six in the second. Piscatorial Patriarch Erwin. Tenn.
