Br Paul Scheffels (United Pre Correspondent) New York. Sept. 16. (U.R) Although the recent series be tween the Cards and the Dodg er served to emphasize the qualities of the Redbirds as po tential champions, the cards, in the three days since they took the lead from Brooklyn, have liven the fans cause to wonder, The difficulty the Cards have had In their meetings with the lowly Philadelphia Phils has made the league-leaders look bad. They took three games out of four from the Phils, but two of them were decided by a single run, one in the ninth inning and the other In the 14th. Apparently, tension and a na tural letdown after the exciting brush with the Dodgers is re sponsible. Since early in Aug- ust,- the Cards have waged a game, uphill battle. But they were always doing the shooting and never had to look behind Now, since their overnight surge Into a two-game grip on the top' spot after a drive that has accumulated 32 victories in 38 starts, the resulting tension Is wholly understandable. . St. Louis came through like champions with a tight, 14-in-ning 3-2 triumph over the Phils yesterday to boost their margin to two games over the Dodgers, Idle for the second day. Starts Hally Murry Dickson was the game's individual star. Replacing Mort Cooper with none out in the ninth, Dickson allowed only three hits over the remainder of the game for his seventh victory. He began the winning rally in the 14th with a two-out double nd carried the winning run across when Jimmy Brown tingled.

(U.R) The St Louis Cardinals, a head-ache to National-league rivals for the past five weeks, presented base ball's top executives today with a serious problem for the 1942 World series. From early May until a week ago the Brooklyn Dodgers look ed like a cinch to win the Na tional league pennant and meet the New York Yankees in the series. With apparently an other "subway series" assured war-time restrictions on travel didn't worry diamond officials. Then along came the Cardinals and upset the "dream arrange ments." A "how-to-get-everybody-there- in-tlme" problem faced Commis sioner Kenesaw M. Landis and his aides after a meeting yester day settled the routine series ar rangements. The fall diamond classic will open September 30 In the park of the National league winner with the second game there October 1. If the Cardinals are the senior circuit representative there'll be a day allotted for travel between the second and third games and the fifth and sixth contests, If the series goes that far. Should the Dodgers rally to take the pennant, the first six games, If that many are re quired, will be played on conse cutive days at Ebbett's field and Yankee stadium. In former years special trains were chartered for the players, club officials and writers to in sure uninterrupted movement between the competing cities. However, "specials'' have been ruled out by Defense Transpor tation Director Joseph B. East man. The uncertainties of travel bookings account for the deci sion to open the series Septem ber 30. With the regular league schedules ending Sunday, Sep tember 27, the series normally would open the following Tues day. However, the inaugural game was set back one day as a safety first measure.

J., Sept 18 (U.R) The war has tossed the "ugly duckling" of pugilism into Mike Jacobs' Up. Sgt Jackie Wilson of California is In the East at Ust doing his stuff daily at Mitchel Field. Jackie Wilson, the thin- shanked Negro from Los An geles who claims that he can knock out any welterweight in the world, has filtered through the embargo on his explosive fists, using the uniform as a pass port. And he is ready for com petition with any of the care fully nurtured big-game welter weights of the East Ray Rob inson, Fritzie Zlvic, Marty Servo, Freddie Archer, etc. Hence the somewhat frantic negotiations of Jacobs' 20th Cen tury club to find a "policeman" a tough welterweight slugger who may belt Wilson back to his Mitchel Field barracks. Ja cobs has assured Wilson's man ager, Walt Melrose, that Wilson will fight on the Louis-Conn card at Yankee stadium, Octo ber 12. Matchmaker Nat Rodgers of the 20tb Century has free rein in selecting an opponent for a fighter who never before has ap peared in the East. But the man agers of top-flight welters are shunning him as if he had small pox. Jackie Wilson (not to be con fused with the featherweight title claimant, Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh) would have come East long ago were it not for the virtual embargo on his fists. He's a Negro welterweight, and an exceptionally good one, with 37 knockouts In 51 pro bouts. But the 20th Century had one great Negro welterweight in Henry Armstrong and then an other in young Ray Robinson. Therefore, 20th Century appar ently figured it wasn't good busi ness to have another great Negro welter at the same time as either Armstrong or Robinson. So Jackie Wilson stayed in Cali fornia until his uniform brought him to Mitchel Field, raring to go. , Uae Mall Tribune Want ads. MEMO TO ADVERTISERS A. B. C.e AUDIT T Boise, Ida., Sept 18.
