Cards Stopped By Cubs But Brooks LoseiTjp JU Hale
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
It begins to appear more and more every day that the National league pennant race will fc settled
In the seven game which the Brooklyn Dodgers and Su Louis Cards still have to play with each other.
Each club frittered away an opportunity to gain on Uie other as both the Dodgers and Ordinals were
beaten yesterday. The Redblrds were the first to bow, losing an afternoon game to the Chicago Cubs In
St. Louis, 3-1. The Brooks, with a chance to boost their three-game first-place margin, fell before the
Boston Braves In a night game at Ebbets field 9-2.
The schedule Is very much in favor of the Cards. Although the Dodgers have two games less to play
than St. Louis, 44 In all, half of them are against first division outfits seveu with SU Louis, nine with
New York, and six with Boston.
Of the Cards' 46 remaining games, 17 are with the rest of the first division seven with Brooklyn, five
with New York and five with Boston. They have 19 home games left while the Dodgers have 31. How-
ever, in Intersections! warfare.

PORTLAND. Ore., Aug. 13 OP)
The pro Brooklyn Dodgers opened
drills today for their meeting with
the Los Angeles Dons here Sunday
night, giving local sports scribes a
chance to see the line Coach Cliff
Battles hopes will help win the All-
America league pennant.
Workouts were originally sched
uled yesterday, but Battles took one
look at the sun-baked clay of the
Swan Island athletic field and said
no. The Dodgers moved their grid
anus to Kooseveit High's turf.

Move To LA
Costly
NEW YORK, Aug. 1J (SEA)
Charlie Graham laughs right out
loud at the Johnny-come-lately
would be promoters who would
transplant a SU Louis baseball
team lo Loa Angeles.
"Yeah." booms the veteran co
owner of the San Francisco Seals,
"you'd think they were making a
move In checkers, but it's not as
simple as all thaU"
Graham also puts in another
plug for recognition of the Pacific
Coast as a third major circuit
"Coast cities have grown re
markably in population the past
18 years," the old catcher explains.
"We are major learae in every
other sport football, racing, golf
and tennis. Only the draft keeps
us minor league in baseball.
"Exempt as five years from that
and I'm sure we'll snow yon a
genuine major league. The draft,
is detrimental to Pacific Coast
baseball or thai of any other cir
cuit "How can a league get anywhere
when It is skimmed of its star
players each year?
"That leaves as with no stars in
the spring. We have to start all
over again and develop new ones.
While Los Angeles could prob
ably ring in its huge Memorial
stadium, major league owners and
officials stress the fact that PCL
parks generally do not accommo
date enough people to merit a
higher classification. Larger plants
could be built
As for simply switching a club
to Los Angeles. Graham is afraid
the cost would be prohibitive, even
though the transfer were possible.
He places the cost at a minimum
of S10.000.
Compare that - with the sale
price tag of the great Yankee
franchise and chain, immensely
valuable property and all 2.850.
004. An outsider would first have to
buy the LA franchise in the Paci
fic Coast league from Owner
Philip K. Wrigley, who also owns
the Cubs, and no one has even
hinted that it is for sale. Then
he would have to Indemnify the
other seven clubs.
The Hollywood franchise, for in
stance, would be a total loss. Who
would pay to see Triple-A ball if
a major league outfit worked the
other aide of the street?
Before a major -league club
could be transplanted its owner
would have to get the consent of
15 other big-league owners. A
league is a partnership. When a
man invests in a club he expects
to, do business in the other cities
in the circuit
A major league club transferred
to Los Angeles would take the
heart out of the Coast loop. Gra
ham figures it would set PCL
baseball back 25 years.
' Business Is fine the way things
stand now, so it might be best all
the way around to call the whole
thing off.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 UP, The
Professional Golfers associations of

The Cards definitely are the
hotter club at the moment, having
won 11 of their last 13 games while
the Dodgers have won only three
of their last 11.
The Giants and Braves, of
course, aren't out of the fight by
any means, but Mel Ott's and

establish anything like consist
