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.

TOLEDO, 10 TO 6
The Medford Craters pounded
two Toledo pitchers for 17 hits
including seven doubles and Al
W ray's two-run homer, to defeat
the Mudhens, 10 to 8, in an Ore
gon State league first-half make
up game played in the rain, mist
and mud at Toledo yesterday.
Jack Brown hurled five and
two-thirds innings for the Cra
ters and yielded six runs and
eight blows before being relieved
in the sixth by Dutch Lieber,
who went the remainder of the
distance and gave up no runs
ana two saietles.
The locals staged one of their
most vicious batting attacks of
the season in conquering the
niuanens, who haven t won a
game this year. In addition to
belting his round-tripper In the
fifth with one aboard, Wray hit
two singles. Manager Lou Sauer
gave his old home town a thrill
by socking two doubles and a
single, Dick Kohler hit a double
and a single as did Dutch Lieber,
Frank Roelandt, Bob Churchill
and Del Schroer. McLean and
Schroer also came up with a
pair of great catches afield.
The Craters scored two runs
in the sixth to break a 8-8 tie,
and went on to get two more in
the ninth to clinch the game
Previously, the locals had manu
factured two three-run innings,
in the second and fifth. Toledo
scored one in the first, two in
the third and three in the fifth,
but were unable to do anything
with Lieber from then on. Lieb
er, incidentally, did his relief
trick after working the full
game against Silverton the night
before.
No definite arrangements
have been mads for the playoffs
as yet, but it was believed that
Silverton and Albany would
clash sometime during the week
to decide the first-half title, with
the winner coming here next
week-end for the second-half
and the pennant playoffs.
