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.
It made the standings:
Brooklyn 92 80 .648
St. Louis 89 81 .636
In the American league the
New Vork Yankees were outhit,
9-6, but beat the Cleveland In
dians, 4-2.

Syndicate Ready To Offer
$500,000 For Futile Phils
Philadelphia, Sept. 16. (JP)
rector of physical training, heads a syndicate that Is ready to
offer $500,000 for the National
"A syndicate with which I am
associated is anxious to give
Philadelphia winning baseball
team In the National league,"
Kelly disclosed. "We expect to
make an offer within the next
few days and hope we can ac
quire the controlling block of
stock."
Kelly, champion Olympic
sculler back in the early 1920s
and former Democratic chair
man of Philadelphia said big
Jim Peterson, who pitched for
the Athletics 10 years ago, prob
ably would handle negotiations
with Gerry Nugent, president of
the tall-end Phils.
However. Peterson, now In
the advertising business, and
Nugent both professed ignor
ance. "I haven't seen Kelly in
months," Nugent said. "In spite
of this talk no one has made
me an offer. If a man really
intends to buy something It Is
not likely he will tell the news
papers first. It seems silly to
me."
Nugent and Mrs. Nugent, vice
president of the club, own a ma
jority of the club's 5,000 shares.
"I will be happy to handle
the negotiations if Mr. Kelly
asks me to." Peterson declared.

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

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.

Would Control Information
Which Might Hurt Fleet
Would Not Censor Press
Washington, Sept. 16. (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."
