 New York, Sept. 3-UP)-The formula for beating the St. Louis Cardinals was missing again today.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates battling desperately to hang on to pennant hopes, they thought they had 1t when they knocked off the Cardin- als twice last week, with Dizzy Dean one of their victims.
 Fresh evidence that you can't take anything for granted where the Cardinals are concerned until the last man is out was furnished by the first game of the St. Louis- Pittsburgh doubleheader yesterday. The Pirates went into the ninth inning leading, 3-1, and had one man out in the ninth.
 Pittsburgh players might have been thinking how they were go- ing to take double -header and move to within games of the National league lead. They might have been thinking how the Car dinals were weakening in the role of pacemakers. Or they might have been con t emplating h e strange mastery of big Jim Weaver over the slugging Red Birds. Any way, they were wrong.
 What A Finish.
 Only two outs to go, and Pitts burgh would have had the first game in the victory column. The Gas House gang broke loose on Weaver who beat Dizzy Dean last week and had held the Cards to 4 hits during 1-3 innings. Virgil Davis and Leo Durocher Walked. That wasn't serious until Charlie Colbert slashed long single to right. That one punch tied the score, 3-3, Durocher scring the scoring the tying run when Arky Vaughan fumbled the relay.
 They battled on into the six teenth inning when Joe Medwick biased a double and Jimmy Collins ripped out a single for the winning run. They in the second game which was called after 5 innings because of darkness, the Cards won easily, 5-1, with Dizzy Dean hang ing up his Z3rd victory. Paul Dean in relief role, won his 16th game in the opener. Collins drove in three runs in the second game.
 The double victory opened the Cards 30-day home stand, and in- creased their lead over the idle New York Giants to games. The Chicago Cubs broke even with the Cincinnati Reds and slipped to 2 1-2 games behind the Cards. Lon Warneke scored his 16th victory in the opener, 3-1. Gene Svhott held the Cubs to 6 hit sin winning the nightcap, AZ.
 Nothing to It.
 Detroit wrested a double header from the Chicago White Sox, 6-1 and 50, before a total of 56,O0O who saw the morning and afternoon games. The Tigers lead is now g games. Schoolboy Rowe register. ed his 17th victory in the opener and Edlon Auker won his 18th ir the second.
 Ivy Paul Andrews pitched a D. hit game and the St. Louis Browns defeated Cleveland Al, but the Indians rallied to take the second game, 7-2, behind the 3-hit per- formance of Mel Harder. Jack Will son homer in tre 11th gave the Boston Red Sox 9-8 victory over Washington, but the Senators gain ed an even break by winning the night cap, 3-2, in 13 innings.
