Today's best advice for base-
" ball fans ii to get your nickels
ready for a subway series the
New York Yankees nave clincb
, ed the American league pennant
. and the Brooklyn Dodgers have
been handed the National league
lead on a big, brimming platter.
' The Yanks bombed their way
to their fifth championship in
six years yesterday by smashing
the Boston Red Sox, 6-3, with a
' 10-hit assault on two of Boston's
best pitchers, Dick Newsome
and Mickey Harris, while Atley
Donald was holding the Red
Sockers in check on five safeties.
Yesterday Brooklyn was rained
Into idleness and the Cardinals
played Chicago a doubleheader
with a huge reward at stake. But
they not only muffed the oppor
tunity, their double defeat drop
ped them one full game back of
Brooklyn.
Warneke Falls i
- The Cardinals started two of
their finest pitchers, Lon War
neke, fresh from his no-hitter at
Cincinnati, and the skillful Mort
, Cooper, but each had to be re
moved in me lounn inning.
Claude Passeau, a great clutch
nurler for the sixth-place Cubs,
shut out St. Louis, 3-0, on five
bits in the opener.
' The nightcap was a bitter bat-
- tie that went 1 1 innings and was
decided by the Cardinals' most
glaring weakness uncertain
fielding. The Redbirds made five
errors, and on the last Outfield
er Don Padgett dropped a fly
ball to let in the winning run
after Stan Hack had walked and
gone to third on a single by Lou
Stringer. The score was 4-3.
The Pittsburgh Pirates closed
the gap between them and the
third-place Reds to a half-game
. by beating Cincinnati again, 4-0,
before rain halted play in the
last of the fifth. Rip Sewell held
the world champions to one hit
over this abbreviated distance
while the Pirates pelted Bucky
i Walters for five.
Bob Feller finally got his 22nd
triumph, but it took a three-run
rally in the tenth inning by his
Cleveland Indians to nose out
Detroit, 7-6. The Tigers scored
twice in their halt of the tenth.

Slim Byron Nelson of Toledo.

his second-at-the-quarter posi
tion as the field headed for the
halfway pole today in the $11,
000 Tam O'Shanter open cham
pionship. Nelson was not the pacemaker
as play began in the second
round of this richest tournament
of the year. That spot was oc
cupied by Leonard Dodson, 29-year-old
professions' from Kan
sas City. But the quiet-spoken
Nelson, one of the greatest
stretch finishers the pro sport
ever has produced, had a 67
round he believed was all the
start needed in his quest for the
tourney s top prize of $2,000.
Dodson, the Missourian whose
locker-room yarns and trick shot
wagers are legendary, started
the second round with a seven
under par 65 as the result of a
great performance yesterday
which set a new competitive rec
ord for the Tam O'Shanter lay
out. His card showed one bogie,
an eagle and-six birdies.
