NEW YORK, October 3. Second
division contender5 in the major
leagues were still battling for position
today, with prospects of their final
rating being undecided until the sea
sons closing games tomorrow.
The Cardinals dispelled any hopes
of the Cubs to finish in fifth place by
beating them 4 to yesterday. Topor-
Ger and Blades hitting for the circuit
in the st. Louis triumph. Chicago is
now but half a game in advance of
the cellar-hole Phillies.
Isoston invades Brooklyn today to
Robins. The Braves need TO win only
one of their two remaining games
with Brooklyn to annex fifth place.
while the Robins must win both of
them to unseat Boston.
The Yankees failed to gain on the
siXth-piace Indians in the American
League by taking a shutout ut the
hands Of the Athletics. 10 to 0.
Jimmy Dykes of Philadelphia made
five hits off the first five balls pitched
to him In five times at bat, establish
ing what is believed to be Il ma ior
league record. Dykes blows included
"A triple and a homer, the latter com.
ing with two on base. -Four hits were
made off BriXton and one off Pen
mock.
The Red SoX made II three straight
over the world champion Nationals,
finishing on the long end OF an 1l-to-2
score. Ehmke of Boston yielded 10
hits.

ment is renewed at Athens. Auburn

lima Tigers on the plain last year.
Florida suffered its rudest shock OF
the season at Macon last season when

gators, 10 to 0. Today's game will
be in the Florida habitat Of the
Gators.
