 St. Louis, July 20-(UP)-The Brooklyn Dodgers hopped out of the frying pan into the fire today.
 In their getaway from Chicago yesterday they drummed up brand new feud and came here today to renew an old one with the Cardin- als. The Dodgers now have four distinct and separate feuds in prog ress, as follows:
 D The grudge feud with the Car dinals growing out of the Joe Med wick "beaning" and the Durocher- Owen fight.
 9 The latest feud with the Cubs, started yesterday between Pitchers Hugh Casey and Claude Passeau.
 3 The eternal feud with their hated Polo Ground 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 the brawl yesterday at Wrigley Field, which developed when Passeau of the Cubs accused 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"
 Passeau tried to bunt the ball so that Casey would have to come over ard cover first but he failed. On the next pitch, Casey plunked Pas seau in the side, as the Cub pitcher ducked away from the hall. Then the Cub pitcher threw his bat at Casey and h. wasn't kidding either The bat went dipping 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 couple of swings at Passeau. Then Stanley Hack tackled Gallagher and they went down in a heap with other players swinging wildly at each ether. In the Scuffle some Chicago player kicked Gallagher in the mouth, causing small scratches on his lip and cheek.
 When order was restored, PasSeau was banished from the game and Gallagher ordered off the field. Odd i ly enough, it was CaSey's first ap- pearance on the mound since he was beaned by a Glass D pitcher in an exhibition game at Johnstown, Pa, July 10.
 The Cubs slugged out IT hits, in- cluding a homer with the bases loaded by Hank Leiber, for a 11-4 victory over the Dodgers.
 The Reds maintained their B. game lead despite an 8-7 defeat by the Bees. Boston put on a 8-run rally in the seventh which brought the victory. Eddie Joost's wild throw allowed three runs.
 The Cardinals came from behind twice to beat the Phillies, 3-2 and 5-3. Johnny Mize hit home No. 25 in the nightcap. The winning pitchers were Bill McGee and Bob Bowman.
 Hall Schumacher pitched the Giants to 5-2 victory over the Pirates for his seventh triumph.
 Detroit extended its American league lead to a game and a half by blanking the Red SoX, 40. Tom my Bridges pitched 7-hitter and Rudy York hit his 18th homer with a mate on.
 The Tanks blasted Cleveland, 15- 6, to sweep the 3-game series. Babe Dahlgren hit two homersand Rosar and Gordon one each. Lefty Gomez injured his pitching hand when hit by liner from Roy Weatherley $ bat.
 The Browns ended their 14-game losing streak by beating the Ath- letics, 9-7. Johnny Berardino's homer with one on in the ninth was the winning margin Bob John- son hit his 18th and 17th homers.
 The White Sox trimmed Wash ington, 9-l, snapping the Senators 5-game winning streak. Thornton Lee pitched a 5-hitter.
