Yank-Dodger
City Series
Near Certain
Both Teams Boast
Sizeable Margins
Going Into August
Bv Tlie Associated Press
A subway world series, founded on
two dazzlnut western trips by the
Brooklyn Dodgers and New Yorlt
Yankees, appeared likely as the
clubs headed Into Auoust, normally
tin head of the stretch In the base
ball pennant races.
Thirteen straight victories by the
under-rated Brooks have given Man
ager Burt Shoiion's men a com
miuidliiK Ill-game lead over the New
York Omuls and the defending St.
Louis Cardinals.
The Yankees have opened up la-
game margin on the defending Bos
ton Red Sox.
Brooklyn's feat has been more ex
ceptional than the Yanks' because
the Dodgers were not supposed to be
in the same class with the Cardinals.
In sweeping three straight from St.
Louis al Sportsman's park, the third
bv a 2-1 margin yesterday, the
Dodgers left the champs hanging
on the ropes.
St. louls has 59 games to play
as compared to 55 for the Dodgers
but their overwhelming advantage
In home games- now has largely
disappeared and they must fight
It out on even ground against that
Uggering 10-game deficit.
Even Howie Pollet, tlie old Dodger
tamer, failed Manager Eddie Dyer
although he pitched a smart" gatae,
normally good enough to win. They
were tied at 1-1 going to the ninth
when Pee Wee Reese trippled down
the right field foul line to score
Bruce Edwards with the winning
run.
The New York Giants also helped
the Dodgers build up their lead
by bowing to Cincinnati, 8-7. The
defeat left the Giants 10 full games
back of the Brooks. Grady Ha.
ton's three-run homer In the eighth
turned the tide after earlier clouts
by Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper.
It was No. 31 for Mise.
Dutch Leonard, whose American
league release appears to have been
an embarrassing mistake, posted his
12th victory for Ben Chapman's
Phillies, a 3-0 five-hit shutout over
the Chicago Cubs.
Rain washed cut-tlie Boston at
Pittsburgh game and "threatening
weather" postponed the Detroit at
New York game although the sun
shone most of the afternoon on the
Yankee stadium. j
Cleveland swept Its three-game
set from the Boston Red Sox, 5-4,
on a pair of homers by Manager
Lou Boudreau and Joe Gordon.
Bob Savage stifled a hut-inn ingJ
spurt by Chicago to save Phila
delphia's Bill Dietrich his fourth
victory over Ed Lopat, 3-2. Sav
age finally retired Cass Michaels
alter Kudy York's double and
Luke Appling's single helped pull
the Sox within one run of a tie.
Mickey Haefner continued his ef
ficient pitching, scattering live St.
Louis hit for a 4-1 Washington
triumph.

Shooting
Laws Are
Garbled
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1 . Cut
ting the nation's duck-hunting sea
son to a 10-year low. tlie fish and
wildlife service predicted today a
"very substantial reduction" In the
kill of waterfowl this year.
The agency which controls the
sportsman's trigger linger reduced
the shooting of ducks and geese to
30 days in the East and 35 days In
the Central and Western states.
This is the shortest season since
the duck-depression years of the
mid-thirties.
The hew regulations also short
ened each hunting day by an hour,
and clamped new limitations on the
number of waterfowl a hunter may
kill In one day or accumulate In
more than a day. Furthermore, no
Indefinite Yet
The season as set up for Ore
gon California Is split, running
'from October 31 through Novem
ber 3 and from December 33
through January 5, which for
this section virtually means Just
two weeks of shooting the first
two weeks.
The wildlife service's an
nouncement of the dates was ex
tremely sketchy and indefinite.
The hunting hours haven't been
explained and other phases of
the law need a lot of clarifica
tion. Duck daily limit is four, but
there are a number of questions
that need to be answered regard
ing the goose limit.
hunter may keep his catch in stor
age for more than 90 days after the
season's ending.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Oscar L. Chapman said "reductions
in the hunting season and bag lim
its are necessary this year to stem
the noticeable decrease in waterfowl
over the past three years.
"If the sport of wildfowling is to
continue, wa must regulate the take
to less than the season's increase."
Albert M. Day, director of the fish
and wildlife service, added the pre
diction that "we are in for a poor
shooting season."
He said reports on waterfowl nest
ing conditions on northern breeding
grounds fc the most part are "ex
tremely discouraging."
Certain amply-watered areas In
Southern Alberta apd Southern
Saskatchewan hat'e reported favor
ably on nesting conditions. Day
added, but those areas provide ducks
primarily for the Western states.

Seattle Flag Hopes
Bv The Auwiated, Pre
Guy Kletcher. for three seasons one of the Coast league's better
righthanders, twirled a magnificent four-hit 10-lnnliig 3-1 victory for
Sacramento over San Diego Inst night.
Then he was told he had been traded along with Pitchers Clartli
Mann and Bud Beasley and Outfielder Bill Ramsey to Seattle for
Pitchers Slg Jakucki, Rex Cecil. Charlie Ripple and Outfielder Johnny
Rucker.
The eight-player deal, the biggest swap In recent years on the coast,
was a case of fourth-place Seattle and the fifth-place Salons juggling
talent in a hope to hop up their pennant chances. Offhand, if anyone
got the edge in the trade, observers were inclined to feel Fletcher's
13-11 record tipped the scales for Seattle.
No spring chicken he's 33 Fletcher appears headed for another
20-game win mark. In 1945, he won
34, lost 14 for the Sacs. Last year.
