BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. U.P)-The
swapping. snarling st. Louis Card
inals, the toughest, toughest team
in baseball, were fighting for sec
ond place instead of first today in
The topsy-turney National league
pennant chase.
To save second place from the
Chicago Cubs. Manager Krankie
Frisch planned to play his ace,
Dizzy Dean, against the league
leading New York Giants. Dean
hasn't beaten the Giants this year
but to hear the gangling Arkansas
country boy tell it he is going to
make the Giants pay for past in
suits to the Brothers Dean before
the end of the current campaign
Dizzy who has been wrestling
with a cold, was in uniform yeSter-
day and expected to be strong
enough today TO end the Giants
mastery over the Cardinals.
When the Giants beat the Cards,
yesterday, 5-4, the Cubs moved
within .002 points Of second place by
shellacking the Brooklyn Dodgers
1I-3. The New York lead over the
Cards is four games, but only 81
over the Cubs because of a quirk
in the percentages.
Wild Throw Counts
The Cardinals tossed yesterday S
game into the Giants lap. Phil
Collins made a wild throw which
permitted the winning run to score,
and Bill Walker made wild heaye
on Al Cuccinellos bunt which sent
two runs home.
Then to cap the climax Krankie
Frisch stood still at the plate and
watched the third strike Whizz by
for the final out of the game with
| the tying run on second base.
The Boston Braves beat Cincin-
natl. 80. Bob Brown holding the
Reds to 2 hits Joe Bowman won
his sixth straight game as the Phil
adelphia PhillieS won from Pitts

defeating Washington, 63.
A three run uprising in the
seventh enabled the Yankees to de-
feat Cleveland. 81 Homers by
Cronin, Werber and Cooke enabled
the Boston Red Sox to win from

in 1927 when Sharkey and Maloney
fought at the Yankee stadium. On
the same night, Lindbergh, in the
little cockpit of the Spirit of st.
Louis, was hammering through the
skies toward Paris.

moment he stepped IN the ring to

10000 heckled and booed him. The
semi-final finished, Joe began stall
ing until the time Sharkey and
Maloney would enter the ring. Fin

two bitter rivals with bitter fol-
lowers. The booing turned to an
cry wild mutterings.
Someone handed Joe a bulletin.
He read it, and raised his hand for
silence.
"Lindbergh is 300 miles from
PariS!" he intoned.
The crowd quieted. A deep hush
fell over the stadium.
Let us, ladies and gentleman"
Joe said solemnly, "let us stand
and say silent prayer"
As one, the crowd of 10000 arose
and faced the ring. Then Joe said
a prayer, his homely, red face
bathed in the glare of the spot
lights.
May the Almighty God steer the
boy across the ocean and land him
safely at his destination on the
shores of our dearest allied coun-
try, France. Amen"
The 10000 stood as though grav-
en- for fully two minutes, and then
sat down.

ment.
