TWO IMS' INCREASE LEAD TO 2 GAMES OVER IDLE CARDS Reiser's Homer Ignites 5 Run Brook Explosion In 17th Allen Pitches. Br Judton Bailey (Associated Press Writer) Surely but slowly, agonizing steps at a time the Brooklyn Dodgers are creeping towara the National league cnampion Kin They capitalized yesterday on chance to add a half-game to their lead over the Idle second-place St. Louis Cardinals. But it took the Dodgers 17 inn . logs and on that basis you can't say that their foes are giv ing them something for noth- ina The Dodgers are two games out in front today for two reas ons they battle to the final out; and the Cardinals have been beset by one of the worst sieges of Injuries that ever be fell a major league club. For 16 Innings yesterday's struggle was a scoreless pitch ing duel between Paul Derrin ger ace of the Reds, and John ny Allen, ex-American leaguer who was supplanted in the 16th by chubby Hugh Casey. Rads Rebuffad For nine innings Allen held the Reds to one scratch single. The Dodgers put men on bases In seven of the nine frames without scoring. They kept right on challenging and in the 17th. when darkness was enveloping the contest, they finally man aged to turn the affair inside out and win, 5-1. Pete Reiser started it with his 13th homer. Then came singles by Dolph Camilli and Lew Riggs, a couple of errors, a single by Mickey Owen good for two tallies and a wild pitch, all of which meant five runs and the ball game.

Phone 4117 WHEN REF HALTS FIGHT IN EIGHTH Wild Brawl Ends After Garcia Allegedly Cuts Champs Eye By Butting. By Robert Myers Los Angeles, Sept. 12. (IP) Middleweight Champion Billy Soose prepared to head east to day, his crown slightly on the tarnished side after one of the most vicious fights with the most unsatisfactory endings wit nessed in Los Angeles in years. Handsome Billy's 12-round non-title fight with veteran Ceferino Garcia was stopped mid-way in the eighth round and called a draw because Soosc's left eye was badly cut. From then on it was intense A near riot almost ensued, Ref- Ah. Rnth w, .,mn,f'nh. bed as he Ieft the ring and to. day the state athletic commis sion promised further action af ter dissenting with the referee's decision. Crowd Angry Roth apparently issued state ments by the minute from the shelter of a dressing room as the crowd of 5,000 milled angrily around the ball park. Roth said Garcia butted Soose in the seventh round, slitting the eyelid, and then hammered it wider open in the eighth. Soose, questioned, said he was butted in the sixth, though no blood appeared and the com missioners, sitting at ringside, said they saw no butt in any round. Soose, under Roth's round count, captured the first five rounds with a brilliant exhibl tion of boxing skill. Garcia, a veteran of nearly 20 years in the ring, launched a savage at tack and swept the next two rounds and was meting out heavy punishment in the eighth at the finish.

(JP) The house learned from the navy department today that joint army-navy plans had been worked out for censorship of in ternational communications, but that no provisions for compul sory censorship of the press were involved. Rep. Jacobscn (D-Iowa) sub mitted a letter from James For restal, acting secretary of the navy, explaining the situation. Forrestal said the proposed censorship would be limited to "the control of communications passing between the United States and foreign countries of overseas possessions and be tween ships and shore." He added that the plan would have to be approved by "higher authority" and be supported by necessary legislation. "The control of information the disclosure of which would be inimical to the operations of the fleet is but one of the many problems which is under con stant study by the navy depart ment," Forrestal wrote. "It may be stated without in jury to the public interest that such plans contain no provisions for compulsory censorship of the press but are limited to the con trol' of communications passing between the United States and foreign countries for overseas possessions and between ships and shore."
