HICHBE ATTAINS ' IRON MAN ROLE
 FOR BROOKLYN

BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

 New York, September l1-tUP- Kirby Higbe, Brooklyn Dodgers ace righthander, is e leading can- didate for "the Bucky Walters of l94l" in length of working hours, On August 3 he became the first National Leaguer of the year to record his 20oth inning of mound work. Bucky led the league last year with 270 but Iron Man Me- dinnNy's all-time record, for & season, 434, will stand firm, aS 1t has since 1903.
 Higbe became the first National League pitcher to win 20 games when he defeated the Giants on September 2.
 August,s rookie crop in the Ma. tional League brought new power for the Cincinnati Reds batting order in the shape of Eddie Lukon, southpaw outflelder from Knoxville He was smacking .326 for the Smokies, with % Southern AS' sociation homerS to his credit when the Reds reached for him.

 Even at this rate (and he knocked home exactly S2 runs in his first S2 games of the season) he won't beat the i60 mark, due to missing 1e Red Bird games earlier in the year.

 At the tooth game milestone this year, the Cardinals were only one game off the pennant pace of the Cincinnati Reds last year this time The Reds of 1940 wen 66 of their first century, the highest average in the past 10 years, and except for the 1929 Chicago Cubs. who won 6S the best mark recorded in the Ma tional League since 1919.

DODGERS WONDER
 WHAT HAPPENED
Lose Two to Cubs as Do. Or.Die Series With Cards
 Open Today
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan Correspondent


 New York, Sept. Il. (UP)-The Dodgers were picking themselves up of the floor todayl and with Q faraway look in their eyes, asking what happened?" as they prepared to meet the Cardinals in e three- game do-or-die series in St. Louis,
 A Mack truck couldn't have done more damage to the Dodgers than the Cubs did yesterday. Along about nontime everything was sunlight and song for the Dodgers who had e 3-game lead and seemed headed for their first pennant in 2l years.
 Then the floor bounced up and smacked Flatbush's beloved bums." The Cubs gave them the old one-two punch, staging a 3-run rally in the ninth to win the first game and then breeding throug to q 6-3 tri. umph in the nightcap. But that wasn't all. The Cardinals grabbed 6 pair from the PhillieS, 3.2 and leo, and trimmed Brooklyn's fat three- game lead to Q thin one-game mar gin.
 Manager Leo Durocher will stake everything today on the aged shoul- ders of Freddy Fitzsilmmons, who has been given 10 days rest pur- poseiy to open this series. Oppos. Ing him will be Ernie White, the Rookie southpaw who's already beaten the Dodgers three times this season without losing to them.
 If the Cardinals win, they'll take over first place by .0o2 points.
 The Dodgers troubles yesterday blew up out of a clear blue sky. They were breeding along with . so lead behind Kirby Higbe, the leagues top winner, when the storm broke. Cavarretta tripled and Nicholson doubled and Durocher derricked Higbe for Whit Wyatt, his No. 3 ace. Dahlgren walked and DelleSandro singled, but the Dodg. CTS got out of that jam with the loss of only two runs. When Del lesandro tried to stretch his single and Dahlgren tried to score. Both were cut down. The Dodgers scored Q run in the ninth.
 Harry Gumbert was in rare form in the nishtcap, holding the Phils to three hits.
 Tn the other National league games the Braves beat the Reds Al, In IS innings and the Pirates slugged out & l0-7 victory over the Giants.
 Thornton Lee won his 18th game of the season as the White Sox sent Washington back to the cellar with @ IA licking. The Red Sox steam- rollered the Tigers, ll-2. Fred Caliguiri, rookie right-hander from Wilmington, held the Indians to eight hits as the Athletics tri- umphed, GA.

Bedtime Story
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

If Buster Bear thought that he
could get rid of his noisy tormentors
Just by going off and leaving them
he made a great mistake. There is
nothing in the world Blacky the
Grow and Sammy Jay delight in
more than tormenting some of the
bigger people who wear fur. They
dearly love to spoil the hunting of
Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote,
and they do it whenever there Is a
chance. But to be able to torment
great, big Buster Bear is even
greater fun. When Buster left the
tall tree in the top of which Prickly
Porky the porcupine had found
safety, he meant to skip away where
it was quiet and peaceful. But he
soon found that he was simply TAX
ing all the noise with him. Blacky
the Crow and all his relatives and
Sammy Jay simply followed along,
flying from tree to tree just above
him. And how they did shrek at
him!
Buster Bear is a great big bully!
Cav, cav, caw!" shrieked Blacky the
Grow, and all other crows did like
wise.
Buster Bear couldn't catch
Prickly Porky, ha, ha, hal" cried
Sammy Jay.
Buster shufhed along faster and
pretty soon he began to run. 1t
was of no use at all. 1t isn't the
least bit of use for any one to try
to run away from those who can
fly. because the little people who
can fly travel faster than those who
run. The only thing to do in case
like that is to get out of sight, and
that isn't very easy for such big
fellow as Buster Bear to do. Every
once in a while he would look up
and groWl and snarl at the noisy
crew in the treetops above him. But
this only made them shrek the
more.
Buster hoped that after a while
his tormentors would grow tired of
following him, but he hoped in vain.
You see they didn't have anything
else to do, and they were thoroughly
enjoying Busters discomfort and
anger. He headed for the deepest
part of the Green Forest, but they
followed him. Buster was in de-
spair. The noise made him almost
crazy. Finally he realized that as
long as they could see him they
would give him no peace. He hated
to show them where his. bed was,
but it was the only chance of getting
rid of them, so at last Buster headed
for the great pile of fallen trees
under which Peter Rabbit had found
him asleep. When he reached it
he crawled under and lay down on
his bed of leaves, and a more morti-
fed. angrier bear never lived.
For a while Blacky and his friends
and Sammy Jay sat around in the
treetops screaming until they were
hoarse and hoping that Buster
would come out again. But he
didn't, so after a while one by one
they flew away about their busi-
ness until peace and quiet once
more reigned AS the last harsh
voice grew faint in the distance.
Buster Bear heaved a great sigh of
relief.
