Last night the Boston Braves made It two out of three with a 7-3 victory over the Brooks, the very same bunch who entered St. Louis last week with a seven-game lead and walloped the runner-up Cards three straight times to apparently sew up Uie National league flag. While Brooklyn has been getting belted three straight times in Chicago and twice In three starts In lioston, the Bcdbiids have roared back with six straight victories including last night's 6-3 win over Cincinnati, to trail by five garnet. 'Hie Dodgers definitely are in a tough spot now despite the fact that they come home tomorrow loiiow- ihir the series finale with Boston.

The Detroit Tigers moved into second place IS games behind the American league leading Yankees by; taking both ends of a double header from the Cleveland Indians ' 13- and 7-5. The- Boston Red Sox dropped into third place one game be hind the Tigers when Washington beat them for the second straight night 1-0. Lefty Mickey Haefner limited the Red Sox to six hi for 'his eighth triumph, four by shutouts.-The Senators got only two . Infield singles off starter Earl Johnson and Mickey Harris, but placed them together in the open ing inning and aided by an error by Bobby Doerr, scored an un earned run. The Chicago White Sox bunched five of their 10 hits in the second inning to score five runs and de teat the Browns in a night game in St Louis 7-3.

Rickey Built Dodgers In Three Years Balance Of Power In National Moved Out Of St. Louis NEW-YORK, Aug. 7 iNEAi The rise of Branch Rickey from a major-league catcher of doubtful tal ent to the dominating executive figure in baseball rivals fiction's most fantastic developments. But It was no more astontsliliig that Rickey's feat of transplanting the balance of power in the Nation al league from St. Louis to Brook lyn in three years. Baseball men long since came to know that where Rickey walks vic tory flourishes. Where the Mahatma rests ' the abode of power. ., If you doubt that statement you have only to look at the Dodgers and Cardinals. Rickey has quickly built In Brooklyn the same sort of diamond empire he had in St Loolc. In SI. Louis he succeeded under distressing circumstances email attendance, little cash. etc.. so in switching from Sportsman's park to the gold mine of Kbbets field his job was a comparative breese. lie lashes his young team toward the championship with velvet thongs, observing with no sorrow the troubles of the Redbirds. once the mightiest force in the Nation al circuit Currently the Dodgers are out front by around six games ahead of the Cards. Rickey is ministerial in speech and manners, dipping his pen in vitriol and carrying shears tor clip ping rules and cutting corners. He wars with everybody. Judge Landis warred with Rickey in St. Louis, setting free some 135 young farmhands, among them circuit clout I Pete Reiser and Nelson Potter.

Rainlers. Mickey Rocco was the Rainier hero, accounting for all his ; team's tallies with two homers as Seattle won 3 to 1. The win boosted the Rainlers to sixth.
