hauled the Cardinals up to within one game of the league leading Brooklyn Dodgers. He has made Up to the Cardinals what they lost when Terry Moore and Enos Slaughter, two key men,. were forced out by injuries.
 On the Spot
 Nobody was ever thrown into a tougher spot than this lean left handler who is only 20 years old and nobody ever came through with colors flying higher and braver He was taken out of the minor leagues at 8 time when the Card inals were in tooth-and-nai fight with the Dodgers for the league lead. He had every right to be jittery and if he had blown a couple of ball games through nervousness, he wouldn't have been blamed too much.
 Playing 1t safe, Manager Billy Southworth of the Cardinals start ed Pellet against a second-division ball club-the Boston Braves-when he first reported from Houston. The Kid got into a little trouble and Southworth walked out to the mound thinking maybe he could calm him down.
 "What about it?" asked South worth.
 What about what?" Pollet re- piled.
 well, you seem to be in lit- tie trouble"
 You don't call this trouble, dc you?" the Kid asked.
 "Okay," Southworth said with a grin, go ahead and pitch"
 The Kid did-pitched a four hit ter. That removed all doubt from Southworth's mind that Pollet was ready for the big leagues and he is a regular starter for the Card inalS now.
 There have been lots of words written calling Pollet "a new Dizzy Dean." He reservles Dean about as rcuch as night resembles day The only parallel is that they both came out of the Texas league anu both made good with a bang. Pol. let Isn't a pop-off guy; he is quiet modest but confident and takes his baseball career very seriously. Speed to Spare
 Yesterday he had the Giants eat ing out of his hand. His fast one buzzed through and landed in the catcher'S glove like the crack Oi doom. When the Giants tried tC get toe hold at the plate, ht curved 'em to death. When the fir. ing was over, Pollet had allowed only three stingy hits. After tht last out Johnny Mize tossed tht ball to Pollet who tucked 1t in nj. h. pocket. If he is going to say, the ball every time he wins a game he will need a new wing on hi house.
 Among the spectators at the Polt Grounds yesterday was Manage Leo Durocher of the Dodgers, talk ing g day off. He was gay anG gaTrulous when he came into tl, park, but as Pollet kept mowinI down the Giants he became quiet CT and quieter. Finally, along abou the eighth inning, he slipped ou of his box along the first base lin and left the park.
 Maybe Durocher saw the begin ming of the end every time the Ri, wound up.

Moore Ordered
 To Take It Easy

Boston, Aug. 29 -(UP)- Terry Moore, captain and center fielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, will be released today or tomorrow from St.. Elisabeth's hospital where he has been confined for nine days as re- suit of being struck by 8 pitched ball.
 Moore will be sent to St. Louis under orders not to play ball for at least 10 days. Dr. Edward O'Brien said Moore had per- forated eardrum but it was not es- tablished whether he suffered 1t in his recent "beaning" or when he was hit in 1888.
 Hell be 100 per cent physically fit when his treatment is at an end, however" Dr. O'Rrien said.

 Field Club, Omaha, NebraSkas August 2e. - (UPl-An unemployed actor, two salesnen and the secre- tary of . club came down to the semi-fiY1als of the National Anna teur Golf Tournament today. The club secretary, Marvin H. (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Washington, was favored to take again, the title he won two years ago.
 Ward, the only entrant who hasn't been behind in match this week, plays Robert Riegel, 26-year-old in- surance salesman from Houston, Texas. In the other bracket, Pat Abbott of Pacific Palesades, Cali tornia, whose features are handsome enough to go with his stage aspira- tions, plays Ted Bishop, one time professional and now dairy prod- ucts salesman at Auburndale, Mass.

got into the match play section when he won playoff berth Tuesday night. Wednesday he provided the big excitement when he busted Johnny Goodman in . 20 hole match and yesterday he was playing against Bruc Mccormick, Glendale, Cal, fireman, when Mccormick kicked his ball and himself right out of the competition.
 Kicked The Ball
 The Mccormick incident" seemed likely to take it's place alongside the disqualification of Ed (Porky) Oliver in the open in 194O. It be- gan on the 9th hole of the afternoon round, when Mccormick and Rie- gel, both wild as the wind that whipped across the course, were even. Mccormick accidentally kicked the ball, called stroke pen alty upon himself, and clipped dead to the pin. Riegel got a four and the players presumed the hole was halved until Referee w. F. Nichol- son, a member of the executive conn., mittee of the U.S.G.A. told McCor- mick he had lost the hole in moving his ball.
 Four holes later, after Mccormick had evened the match, Nicholson reversed himself. The penalty, he had learned, was only stroke, but because Mccormick had played on after the official ruling at the 9th, the damage could not be undone and the hole was lost.
 Tt was a tough break" McCor- mick said. q would have played the back side a little differently if I had been even off the 10th."
 Tt was an error in my favor, but I didn't want to win that way" said Riegel. "It must have upset Bruce because I know it worried me"
 Nicholson said he was sorry.
 Ward, who runs the Spokane Round Table Club when he isn't playing golf, made the semi-final ornud with a tough and l victory over Glenn Oatman of Kansas City and 5 and { win over Steve Ko- vach of Tarentum, Pa, the Pennsyl- vania champion.
 Comeback
 Bishop, who divested himself of his pro status and regained the Simon Pure ranks, fought back from a three hole deficit at nine to beat Bob Cohran of Normandy, Mo, yesterday morning and then beat the long hitting Lou Jennings of Portland, Oregon, and in the quarter finals.
 Abbott, who won the public links title in 1886 and went to the finals of the national in 1888, beat big Harry Todd of Dallas up and then took out Ray Pillows of Poughkeep- sic, N. F., 3 and 2, to make today's 36 hole round, which starts at 9:30 a. m., CS.T., (11:30 8. m, EDTo

A great deal Is heard of hard luck golf shots, but none can compare with the one Vic ZemanS had on the l08 yard fifth hole. vic,S tee shot, hit straight and true, bounced at the front end of the green, rolled to the lip of the cup and stopped. With that shot went all hopes, for awhile at least, of a hole-in-one on this sporty hole. Needless to say, Vicis partners conceded the putt for a deuce.
 Frankly Paul has a new shooting iron that he won Sunday for hitting 8 75 on the difncult Yale course. Frankly has the highest praise for the iron and claims 1t will get him out of any trap. He intends to use 1t primarily in shooting for birdies and eagles. If you hear any strange booming on the second nine you can rest assured 1t Is the pro using that new revolver he received.
 Marti Monti and Primo Jamele, two of the associations most eligi- ble young swains, are tealning up for the rest of the season. Marti has been after a partner that can hit them long and Primo has always wanted one proficient in iron play, so with this combination the going will be hard for those rash enough to challenge them.
 Matty Penikas and Len Corrado had a very interesting match re- gently with Len coming from behind tot win one up.

Jerry then played Armande Durante and carried the finalist oi the recent club championship to the last hole.

 New York, Aug. 2o-(UP)-A A four game series between the league leading Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants begins today. It may be a tough assign ment for the Brooks.
 The season series between Hhe two National league clubs stands at 9-6 in favor of the Dodgers out when these bitterest of interbor- ough rivals meet anything can hap pen and usually does.
 The Gianst are 21 games out of first place, haven't a chance for the pennant and, hence ought to be free and easy out there in the Polo Grounds. The chief danger for the Dodgers is that they will be tense with the knowledge that every line drive and every infield hopper, if bobbled, may mean the difference between fat World series check or just the second- placers cut.
 Hal Schumacher, with 10 vtc- tories this season and three in a row, will carry the mound burden for the Giants in his first start of the year against the Durochermen who vii lrely on Whit Wyatt, sec- ond ranking hurler of the staff with IT triumphs.
 Sensational
 Howie Polett, 20-year -old south- paw sensation of the runner-up St. Louis Cardinals, brought his mates up to within game of the idle Dodgers yesterday by white washing the Giants with three nits, so. Poised and cool as any vet eran, Pol1ett won his second vic- tory in three starts over an eight day span. The Cards hammered three pitchers for II hits and put over all their five runs in the fourth inning against Cliff Melton.
 Cooper, Padgett, Crespi, Marion and Brown singled for three runs and two more tallies came across when Melton fumbled Hoops ground ball for one error and threw WIld TOT dIlOCIlcT.
 Tom Early held the Cubs to two hits as the Braves scored 2-1 triumph. Max Vests four-bagger in the fourth won the game. Vallie Eaves and Ken Raffensberger hm- tied Boston to four blows. A three-run rally in the ninth gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 edge over the Phillies. A double by Lee Hand ley, his fourth hit of the day, scored the tying and winning runs.
 Chicago's White Sox frightened their grip on second place in the American league by blanking Wash ington, 40, while third-place Bos- ton and fourth-place Cleveland lost Thornton Lee blanked the Senators with four hits for his 17th win while the Sox hammered out 10 hits.
 Four Run Homer The Red Sox dropped two games behind the White Sox by losing to the Detroit Tigers, 8-7. Rudy York s four-run homer featured a five run Tigers seventh inning. Ted Williams hit his 29th homer and Joe Cronin his 14th for the Red Sox.
