Dodgers Advance to Cardinal
Hotbed After Row with Cubs

T h e Brooklyn Dodgers
hoped out of the frying par
into the fire today.
In their getaway from Chi
cago yesterday they drummed up
a brand new feud and came here
toda to renew an old one with the
Cardinals. The Dodgers now have
four distinct and separate feuds IN
progress. as follows:
u The grudge feud with the
Cardinals growing out OF the Joe
Medwick "beaning" and the Duro-
cher-OWen fight.
y The latest feud with the Cubs,
started Yesterday between pitchers
Hugh Casey and Claude Passeau.
- The eternal feud with their
hated Polo Grounds rivals, the
Giants.
A. The pennant feud with the
Cincinnati Reds, the one they most
want to win.
Several players are likely to draw
some stiff fines as result of
braWl yesterday at Wrigley Field
which developed over Passeau of
the Cubs accusing Casey of the
Dodgers of throwing at him in the
eighth inning They exchanged
sharp words after a pitch came close
to Passeau's head, and then the
Cubs pitcher said:
I'll cut your uniform off you"
Casey yelled back, "Okay, here's
one you can bunt."
Filings Bat
PasSeau tried to bunt the ball so
that Casey would have 10 come
over and cover first but he failed.
On the next pitch, Casey plunked
Passeau in the side, as the Cub
pitcher ducked away from the ball.
Then the Cub pitcher flung his bat
at Casey and he wasn't kidding
either. The bat went tipping past
the pitchers box.
AS the two players advanced on
each other, Joe Gallagher, husky
Dodger outfielder and former Man
haitian football player, charged out
of the dugout and took a couple
swings at Passeau. Then Stanley
Hack tackled Gallagher and they
went down in heap with other
players swinging wildly at each
other. In the scuffle some Chicago
played kicked Gallagher in the
mouth, opening small scratches on
his lip and cheek.
When order was restored, Passeau
was banished from the game and
Gallagher ordered off the field.
Oddly enough, it was Casey's first
appearance on the mound since he
was beaned by Glass D pitcher in
an exhibition game at JohnstoWn,
Pa. July 10.
The Cuos slugged out II hits,
including a homer with the bases
loaded by Hank Leiber, for an IL
4 victory over the Dodgers.
The Reds maintained their s.
game lead despite an 81 defeat by
the Bees. Boston put on a 7-run
rally in the seventh which brought
the victory. Eddie Joost's wild
throw allowed three runs to tally.
The Cardinals came from behind
twice to beat the Phillies, 3-2 and
So. Johnny Mize hit homer No. 25
in the nightcap. The winning pitch
ers were Bill MCGEE and Bob Bow
man.
Hal Schumacher pitched the Gil
ants to a So victory over the Pir-
ates for his seventh triumph.

league lead to game and a half
by banking the Red Sox, 40. Tom
