Mayor LaGuardia has called a blackout for 9:30 p. m. Just two minutes after the deadline which the army granted the baseball officials for turning off the lights in the Polo Grounds. The army has ruled that the lights must be darkened one hour after sundown. This evening's contest will start at 6:30 p. m.

By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Aitoclated Prat Sport Writer Major league baseball teams put aside their pennant struggles today after two straight rounds of doubleheaders and sent their stars to the Inter-league classic at New York. The three-day lull caused by this evening's all-star tilt and the Cleveland clash between the winner and a service nine tomor row night, finds all teams in both leagues maintaining the posi tions they held before the stren uous weekend and, for the most part, by about the same margins. The New York Yankees split with the Boston Red Sox Satur day and the Philadelphia Athle tics yesterday to retain thelr four-game lead in the American league. The Red Sox yesterday split with Washington. The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phils twice Sat urday while the St. Louis Cardi nals were breaking even with the Chicago Cubs, but the Cards downed the Cubs twice yester day and the Dodgers split with the Boston Braves, returning to their lead of eight and a half games over St. Louis In the Na tional league. Roger Wolff pitched the Ath letics to a 5-4 decision over the Yankees in yesterday's first game but the Champs took the second, 4-2, to give Lefty Gomez his third mound triumph of the year. A double by Johnny Sullivan and a single by George Case in the ninth inning gave the Sena tors a 4-3 win over the Red Sox in their opener, but Joe Dobson blanked the Nats on five hits in the nightcap, won by the Red Sox. 5-0. The Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers continued their argument over third place, which the Tribe held by win ning, 5-1, behind Mel Harder's three-hit pitching after the Tigers had taken the first game, 10- 1, with a 16-hit attack. The Chicago White Sox swamped the St. Louis Browns, 14-2. as Ted Lyons pitched his 252nd major league victory and hit a double and single, but the Browns squared it, 13-2, with Steve Sundra pitching six-hit ball and contributing a home run, triple and double. Eddie Miller doubled in the rim that gave the Boston Braves a 6-5 verdict over the Dodgers. Then Larry French, who hasn't lost this season, pitched Brook lyn to a 2-1 triumph in the sec ond game for his ninth win. At Pittsburgh, a line drive struck Pitcher Paul Derringer of the Cincinnati Reds on the knee after he had blanked the Pirates for five frames in the first game. Injuring him so badly he was withdrawn from the all-star game roster. Pittsburgh went on to win the game, 4-3, but Ray Starr pitched the Reds to a 5-2 decision in the afterpiece for his 12th decision. The St. Louis Cardinals whip ped the Chicago Cubs, 5-3 and 11- 6, and the Philadelphia Phils surprised the New York Giants, 3-2 and 5-3, for their first double header victory of the year. - MONTCLAIR, N.
