June J 3 (VP) The Brooklyn Dodgers, who ex changed their daffy ways for first place, eyed the National league pennant more manifestly Thursday with the acquisition of Slugger Joe Medwick and Pitcher Curt Davis. of the Cardi nals. The eleventh hour deal, which brought four Dodger players to the Red Birds, was "the biggest money transaction even in the National league," Brooklyn President Larry MacPhail said. However, the exact sum is the club's secret. 1 The known top check was the $185,000 which the Chicago Cubs paid the Cardinals for Dizzy Dean in 1938 MacPhail, who flew east after an all-day conference consum mating the deal, chuckled over his new players, whose sale was surprising only in that it in cluded Davis. The Dodgers were known to have been dick ering for Medwick, a close friend of Brooklyn Manager Leo Durocher. The latter said in Pittsburgh he was "elated" to get Joe and Curt. Medwick, an outfielder, made his reputation with a bat. . He has averaged better than .300 ever since he joined the Cards in 1932. His top was .374 in 1937 when he won tne league batting championsnip and was voted the most valuable player. The next season, Medwick, who was born in Carteret, N. J., drew a $20,000 salary, but his batting average fell to .322. He hit .332 last year. JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 13 Of) The Jersey Journal said it learned from "unimpeachable sources" that the Brooklyn Dodgers paid $200,000 to the St Louis Cardinals for Slugger Joe Medwick and Pitcher Curt Davis. Four Dodger players also went to St Louis. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 13 UP) Outfielder Joe Medwick and Pitcher Curt Davis, who went to sleep Wednesday night as St. Louis Cardinals, expressed "complete surprise" when they woke up Thursday to find they are Brooklyn Dodgers. "Are you sure tliat's right?" they chorused when news of the baseball trade was brought to them aboard a train here on which the St. Louis team was traveling to Rochester for an exhibition game. "Naturally, we're glad to join a first place ball club," they added, when convinced the news was authentic. Residents of Murphy, N. C, are closer to the capitals of six other states than they are to their own capital, at Raleigh. son&aas ITS4VARS0LD PINT It fore QUART '1.60 86 PROOF KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKY UtOWN-FOKMAN OlSTIUf BY CO., INCORPORATf 0.

Louis Jennings, Portland pub lic links player, continued the brand of golf that won him medalist honors .and brushed aside two opponents, including Roy Wiggins, a former titlist. Jennings was accompanied in to the third round by Bud Has kell of Olympia, Wash., Johnny Robbins, Harold Salvador, John ny Hogan, Roy Hornsberger and Lloyd Byerly of Portland and Dick Hanen of Marshfield. Salvador, finalist in 1938-39, had the hardest time advancing, being forced to an extra hole by Vincent Dolp of Portland in his first match. Haskell, the only out-of-state entry remaining, eliminated the home club's favorite, Dr. Kay Bridge, 3-2, in the second round. Walter Cline of Salem moved up a notch in the second flight by defeating Leonard Holmes of Vancouver, Wash., 4-3. Origin of "Pin Money" When pins were invented In the 14th century, they were so expensive that it was customary to give a person a sum of m o n e y to be used as pin money"; hence the term. mp BUT STILL THE SAME LOW PRICE j was rich and smooth be- j but taste Bottoms Up now!

And if they don't have the National league pennant come October it will be because there's no water In the Gowanus canal or money in the Brooklyn Trust company. The flatbushcrs are in first place and it's no fluke. They have won nine of their last eleven games and never have been worse than second since the day the season opened. Curt Davis, whom the Dod gers obtained from St. Louis along with Medwick for four players and cash, may prove of as great value as Medwick. The Dodgers were on the verge of a pitching shortage and Wednes day night at Pittsburgh desig nated Lefty Vito Tamulis as a front-rank starter. He gave up four hits and hit one batter for three Pittsburgh runs without ever getting a Pi rate out in the first inning. Then Whitlow Wyatt took charge and allowed only five hits for the remainder of the game and the Dodgers ultimately triumph ed 5-4. This victory was enough to keep Brooklyn out in front of the Cincinnati Reds, who edged out the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in another night game. Their triumphs set a showy stage for the four-game series these two teams open in Brook lyn Friday. After routing Bob Feller on Tuesday, the Red Sox Wednes day chased southpaw Al Milnar, the league's leading pitcher, with a six-run eighth inning that brought victory 9-5. The sweep of the two-game series put Bos ton two full games ahead of the Indians and a similar distance in front of the second place Detroit Tigers, who were beaten by the New York Yankees 7-5. " The Philadelphia Athletics took a strange test from the Chi cago White Sox 3-2. The A's were held to three hits by Thorn ton Lee, but two of these were home runs by Bob Johnson and Sam Chapman. The Washington Senators edged out the St. Louis Browns by the same score, 3-2, on the six-hit pitching of Ken Chase.
