RaceWide Open
Again as Rook
Nails PAGERS.
Regoins Stride After
Illness; Grove FoiIs
In Try for No. 300
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

A slim youngster named Ernie
White, somewhat overlooked IN the
shuttle, is the pitcher on whom the
St. Louis Cardinals are pinning
their National League pennant
hopes.
He not only is the ace of the
Cards. He is the best lefthander
in the circuit and he emphasized it
by trumping the Brooklyn Dodgers,
6-1, yesterday to split the senior
circuit race wide open again.
The 24-year-old pride of Pacolet
Mills, S. c., was the standout hurler
IN the American Association last
year.
He won six of his first seven de-
cisions this season. Then when he
was just about to receive recogni-
ton alongside the Fellers, Wyatts.
Riddles and the rest, he was
knocked out of three straight
games; the Cardinals lost five
straight and the league lead.
Stomach Trouble Halted Him.
What happened. says Manager
Billy Southworth, is that White ate
something that didn't agree with
him on a hot Sunday, June 90, in
Cincinnati. He couldn't finish the
contest; he lost 13 pounds and he
went onto the Cards sick list,
which. for the season, reads just
like the st. Louis roster.
But he appeared and acted
healthy yesterday in Handwriting
the Dodgers. He allowed only six
hits and became the first southpaw
to beat Brooklyn twice this year.
John Hopp. Johnny Mize and Enos
Slaughter collected eight hits among
them and made the Dodgers seem
helpless.
As a result, St Louis swept the
2-game series and cut Brooklyn's s
lead to two games before heading
for a week end in Boston.
The New York Yankees. American
League leaders. also were stopped
yesterday as Bob Feller pitched the
Cleveland Indians to a 81 victory
for his 18th win against four de-
feats. However, this still left the
Yanks with a siX-game lead and a
81 edge in the three-game series,
as well as nine victories in 13 en-
counters with the Indians for the
season.
Rain and darkness halted play in
the last of the eighth after a double
by Oscar Grimes, safe bunt by Ray
Mack and fielder's choice provided
the deciding run in the seventh.
Joe Di Maggie, whose hitting
streak was snapped at 56 games the
night before. hit a bona fde single
and also got credit for a double
when Larry Rosenthal let a fly get
away from him for New York's only
run in the sixth. Feller gave six hits
and famed nine
Lefty Grove failed a second time
to nail down the Booth victory of his
career as the Chicago White Sox
noSed out the Boston Red SoX. 4-3,
in 10 innings. Grove allowed seven
hits. compared with the nine Boston
collected off Johnny Rigney but an
error by Lou Finney let in the win
ming run. Bob Johnson hit his 18th
homer with two on in the ninth in
ming, to spur the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to a 6-5 margin over the st.
Louis Browns.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and Bos-
ton Braves divided a double header
in the only National League action
outside Brooklyn Ken Heintzelman
pitched a four-hitter as the Pirates
bagged the opener, 81. Three Pitts
burgh pitchers allowed only six hits
in the nightcap, but two singles. fol-
lowing walk in the ninth inning,
earned Boston a 4-3 edge.

New York Gives

BeIated Shot
Man Whose Chin Louis
Couldn't Dent Faces
Bettino Tuesday
BY SID FEDER,


NEW YORK, July l9.-Mr. Red
Burman and his chin come back to
New York's major fistic circles next
Tuesday night.
Mr.. Burmans chin is a very i'm
portant item. It's probably the only
chin In or out Of captivity which
Joe Louis Sunday punch couldn't
dent. Yet, although Red took the
Bomber's best belts for five rounds
without blinking a few months back,
he hasn't been able to get a look
in at New York's better boxing cir
cles since.
II can't figure it out" he said to-
day as he knocked over a few spar
mates in preparing to mingle with
Melio Bettina at Ebbets Field. Il
gave the customers good show that
night with Louis, didn't I? Sure,
was knocked out finally. But am ]
exclusive there? He put lot OF
other guys to sleep, too.
Feels He's Been Sighted.
"I took Joe's shots right on the
old whiskeroo and kept coming in
A punch under the heart finally
stopped me. Y'gotta admit it was a
good show, yet I haven't been able
to get a rumble for another match
with any one in the big league
around here since then. I told Mike
Jacobs I'm willing to take on any
body-Conn. Nova; Just name guy
and I'm your little red-head.
do they figure that just because
was kayoed by Louis I stopped
eating? Or that my family dom
need new shoes any more? I make
my living fighting, so they won't lei
me tight for the real money. I'm
no college man. but even I can sec
that don't add up"
Red may have something there
There's no denying he gave Louis q
fair to- middling rassle back in Feb.
ruary. He walked right into the
Bomber, not only taking Joe's bes
punches, but actually seeming t
hang out his chin for them.
Red Pleases Customers.
Finally, two battering bod,
punches polished him of. But h
