Have Big Lead in Second
: When Game Halted at
End of Fourth.

Dallas, To-. Sept. 14.-Dallas
climbed within a game and a half Of
the second place San Antonio Bears
Thursday by winning the first game
of a double-header, 6 to 5, and loaf
ing along through the fourth inning
of the second, after the Bears had
piled up a commanding lead, so that
it had to be called because of dark
ness before it went five innings and
became offici, 'ly a contest.
Thus, San Antonio's agreement to
suspend play Tuesday because of the
Jewish holiday, at the request Of
Ike Sablosky, part owner of the Dali
las team, probably prevented the
Bears from cinching second place, as
a victory in the second game Thurs

the schedule this season, would vir-
tually have done. The Thursday

produced the first run of the game

single by Boone that got away from
Donohue, Simon's two-bagger and a
wild heave by Pitcher Love, who, de-

spermitted to pitch both games.

by Mathes gave Dallas one in the
sixth, but the Bears came right back
with two in the seventh on a single
by Kohlbecker, Gross wallop in the
ribs by a pitched ball, Marshalrs
sacrifice and Fuller's timely single.
Dallas evened this brace of tallies
in the home half on three bases on
balls and Lovelace's single.

grounder started the trouble in the
ninth. Griffin followed with a double
