TWO BROOKLYN TAKES PAIR FROM PIS, AND 2-GAME EDGE Chicago Comes From Be " hind To Win 7-3; Dodger Pitchers In Good Form. By Henry B. Jameson St. Louis, Sept. 20. (JP) The Chicago Cubs all but blasted the struggling Cardinals out of the National league pennant race to day with a ten-Hie B-run explos ion In the ninth Inning after the Cards apparently had the all- Important game In the bag. . The crushing 7 to S defeat, coming on the heels of Brook lyn's twin victory over the plas tic Phillies, knocked the Red birds two full games behind the furious Dodgeds. It left them with nothing more than scant hope that some miracle might upset "dem fighting bums" in their seven remaining games against the two last-place clubs. - Lean Lon Warneke, who had beaten every team In the league this year except Chicago, was plodding along In his most mas terful fashion until tne ratal ninth, having allowed only four hits. Then Phil Cavarretta, who bad filed out three successive times drove a hard single against the right field screen and only a powerful throw by Rookie Ervln Dusak kept him from going to second. ' The Ladies' Day crowd of 18, 632 rabid rooters seemed to Sjnse the tragedy about to be fall the struggling pennant con tenders, who had given the Brooks an exciting run for It since April. There was anguish ed silence In the stands as War neke faced the next batter, chunky Dom Dallessandro. The dangerous little fellow doubled to left field and Bill Nicholson walked to fill the bases with none out. Babe Dahl gren forced Nicholson at second, scoring Cavarretta. ' That left the gate :;tlll wide open and five more runs poured through, almost before Manager Billy Southworth could holler for help. Lou Stringer's double over the head of Terry Moore, who lost the ball momentarily in the center field sun, scored Dallas t tndro with the tying run and sent Warneke to the showers, a downhearted veteran. The Ar kansas Hubblngbird had been trying for his 18th victory to tie his best season with the Cards. The defeat was his ninth. He was relieved by Howard Krist. Bob Schefflng, who once managed a Cardinal farm, came up as pinch-hitter, and smash ed the first pitch for a grand slar.i home run to climax the up rising. Chicago 7 8 0 St. Louis 3 8 1 Schmitz, Pressnall and Mc Cullough; Warneke, Krlst and W. Cooper. Philadelphia, Sept. 20. (3V- Those pennant bound Brooklyn Dodgers had no run-ins with any umpires at Shlbe park today. Instead they ran right over the last place Phillies in both ends of a double header to Increase their first place lead over the losing Cardinals In the torbid National league race to two garnet with only seven left to play. ' : . After Whitlow Wyatt, aided by Hugh Casey ft th ninth, had pitched the BronMito ,a I to 2 victory In a thrilltn'first game Kirby Higbe duplicated Wyatt's feat for an easy 6 to 1 triumph In the nightcap. Wyatt gave up only three hits and High four. A crowd of 17.704 the larf est Phillies turnout of the sea son saw the Dodgers protest only once. That came In the sev enth inning of the opener when Jimmy Wasdcll ran out of the Brooklyn dugout, claiming Har ry Mamie, of the Phils had fall ed to touch first on his two- baggrr to right. Manager Leo Durocher was right behind him. however, and promptly escorted Wasdell bark to the bench. Practically all the excitement happened in the first game. which was undecided until the fin pitch. The Phils had run ners on first and third, with two out In the ninth, when pinch hitting Chuck Klein slashed a shsrp grounder toward right field. Bily Herman, Brooklyn second baseman, came over fast. fumbled the ball, but recovered In time to get Klein at first by an eyelash. Until he tired with one out In the ninth and was replaced by Casey, Wyatt pitched one of the greatest games of his career. He gave five bases on balls, but he was supreme In the pinches He got 12 Phils on strikeouts, reaching his peak by fanning Micky Livingston, frank Hoerst.

An unpolished but defensively-powerful Medford high Black Tornado took to the air here Friday night to crush the Weed tCal.) high Cougars, 38 to 6, as pass-slinging Cato Wray hurled three touchdown aerials and Steve Dippel, a sophomore play ing his first lnterscholastlc con test, flagged the same number of scoring passes to spark the attack. Steve Isaac flung another pass good for a touchdown, Sopho more Pete Orr, brother of Ike, was on the tossing end of a lateral that culminated In six points and Bob Mitchell bucked one score across to account for the Tornado point-total. Bill Wall, giant end, hauled down two touchdown heaves. The locals, who employed 33 players In the game, scored In every period but the fourth, hitting pay-dirt once In the first quarter, three times In the sec ond and twice In the third. The outclassed Cougars, after strug gling helplessly through three quarters in an attempt to crack the very tough Medford forward wall, finally managed to ring tne bell early In the final stanza when Quarterback Dave Bast plunged over center from the one-yard line after two forward passes, of 16 and 18 yards, placed the leather in position. Medford s first score came late In the first period when Wray fired a 24-yard beauty that Wall snatched In the end zone. It was a fourth-down toss, the Tigers having been held on the Weed 24-yard line. The Tornado really started to roll In the second period. After Weed's Shaffer punted only seven yards to his own 15 and Wray clicked off seven yards on a fake reverse after the visitors were set back five yards for offside, Wray again stepped back and shot a pass to Dippel in the end zone. A few moments later the Tigers had another touchdown. Employing the T-formatlon for the first time, Dippel shot through the line for eight to his own 31, Mitchell made seven at center, Dippel added eight more around right end and Mitchell picked up 10 on the T. Then, Wray faded back and whipped a 24-yard aerial to Wall, who took It over his shoulder on the 10-yard line and raced across unmolested. Just before the second period ended Bill Bayliss Intercepted a Weed pass on the Weed 12 and a moment later Isaac, sub stitute back, hit Dippel In the end zone for Medford's fourth touchdown, making the score 26 to 0 at halftime. A partially blocked punt that skittered out of bounds on the Weed 10-yard line set the Tigers up to their fifth touchdown mid way through the third quarter. This occurred after Wall, on the lone time Medford punted whaled a 44-yard honey that rolled out of bounds on the Weed one-foot line. After the Tiger forward wall broke through to nearly block Weed's return punt, getting the ball on the 10-yard line, Pete Orr tossed a lateral pass behind the line of scrimmage that Dip- ReWOrd Vt family I dwi il the MOTIL MANX Saa FcanciKo't aotat located hotel . . .

A 28-yard reverse around right end by Dippel took the ball to the Weed 16 near the close of the third period, and after Mitchell drove for three to the three-yard line the latter egain took it and pounded across for the touchdown. The only points after touch down the Tigers made occurred when Curt Hopkins place-kicked successfully after the second and third scores. Although looking rather ragged cn ground offense, the Tigers presented a stiff defense. Weed was held to 46 yards and three first downs on the ground, and 43 yards and one first down In the air. The Medford forward wall operated defensively in great style. Dippel, up from Junior high, was the surprise package for the Tornado, and was one of the best, If not the best, backs on the field. Pete Orr, another soph, also turned In a nice ball game. Jimmy Glenn, fullback and guard, looked more valu able at the latter position, al though he performed capably at the backfleld spot. The Tigers had a huge statis tical advantage In yards gained from scrimmage, running up 274 yards, but they were forced to take to the air when the Weed defense tightened in scoring territory.
