day as the men who keep their

collegiate athletic activities
conference commissioners con
cluded a three-day discussion of
how war Is affecting the sports
picture.
Some football games have
been moved, and more will be,
from sma.ll towns to large popu
lation centers for two reasons:
to ease transportation problems
of fans, and to make games
available to more people as a
beneficial morale influence.
Due to wnr demands on rail
and bus services, colleges will
have to abandon chnrtcred cars
and buses and reduce athletic
squads to fit limited space avail
able on public carriers. Long
trips by squads engaged in
minor sports, such as golf, ten
nis and fencing, will be cur
tailed or eliminated.
"As far as football Is con
cerned, it will mean taking the
games to the crowds," said A?a
Bushnell of the Eastern Inter
collegiate association. "Football
is a vital war sport, and colleges
will cooperate in handling trans
portation problems arising from
big games.
"There will be no special
football trains for fans this year
and colleges want fans who will
drive short distances to share
rides with friends and conserve
tires."

Curt' Davis Gets Credit For
7-6 Win; Cardinals Take
Nightcap, 9-1.
By Judson Bailey
Associated Press Sports Writer
Baseball la generally consid
ered a "form" sport, but some
times its form assumes the
strangest shapes.
The Brooklyn Dodgers and St.
Louis Cardinals came to grips
yesterday in what was expected
to be a desperate doubleheader,
with the National league cham
pions striving to hold their
seven-game lead and the Red
birds making what might be
their last challenge.
The set-up. was such that 33,
212 paying customers turned out
on a Tuesday to pack the Dodg
ers Ebbets field and thousands
of others failed to get seats
So what happened? The two
Titans stumbled around for six
hours and split the bill, settling
nothing in particular.
Brooklyn won the first game,
7-6. Each team made three er
rors, and all of the Dodgers' runs
were unearned except a homer
by Johnny Rlzzo in the eighth
inning that decided the outcome.
The Dodgers drove lefty Ernie
White to cover with five runs
in the first, but the Cardinals
kept chipping away till they
tied at six-all and chased Larry
French to the showers In the
sixth inning. Curt Davis re
ceived credit for the victory, his
tenth.
The nightcap was Interrupted
for half an hour by weather in
the third chapter while Klrby
Higbe was leading Max Lanier
1-0. Later the Cards scored seven
runs in the seventh Inning and
won, 9-1, getting 18 hits to
Brooklyn's six.
There were other runny do
ings, too.
The Washington senators
made seven errors, but stopped
the St. Louis Browns, 9-4.
The Boston Red Sox Inflated
their second place margin to
two full games by beating the
Cleveland Indians again, 3-1.
At Chicago Lefty Ed Smltn
absorbed his 17th shellacking
as the New York Yankees over-
nnwered the White Sox, 8-3,'
with Joe DiMaggio, Charley Kel
ler and Joe Gordon hitting home
runs.
At New York the Giants swept i
a rirmbleheacler irom me 1
cago Cubs, 9-5 and 3-0.
The Cincinnati Reds took botn
ends of a doubleheader from
the Phils 8-1 and 3-1.
At Boston Johnny Sain, mak
ing his first start for the Braves,
hurled three-hit shutout ball for
eight innings and then let the
Pittsburgh Pirates tie the score
at three all in the ninth. The
Braves won, 4-3, when Nanny
Fernandez bunted with the bases
loaded to squeeze across the de
ciding run.
