DETROIT, Aug. 23.-Raymond

make life miserable for the Griffs.

he singled after two were out in
the 10th inning, sending in George

Passeau and the Chicago Cubs belted
the Dodgers. 7 to |. today, but the
Brooklyns had their horseshoe
working and finished the day still
riding a game and half lead in
the National League.
A defeat by the second-place ST
Louis Cardinals in Philadelphia left
the Dodger edge intact despite the
loss, and set the stage for the
start of the crucial four-game series
between the pacesetters in Ebbets
Field tomorrow. They play Sun
day double header and follow it up
with single games Monday and
Tuesday.
Passeau Scores 18th Victory.
Passeau muffied the Dodger bats
with seven hits and had dem buns
shut out until the nSnth when two
singles and a fielder's choice pro-
duced the only Brooklyn marker.
1t was Passeau's 18th victory of the
year, his third in four outings
against the league leaders.
Meantime, the Cubs clouted Tom
Drake and Johnny Allen for only
eight hits, but four of these came
in the third inning and produced
five runs, and two more were good
for the other pair of Chicago tallies
in the sixth.
One of the third-innins blows
was Clyde McCullough's ninth
homer Of the year. This came with
two aboard. Besides embarrassing
Drake and the Dodgers, it gave Nc
Cullough a record of having hit at
least one round-tripper in every
park in the league this season.
Two were out when the Cubs
went to work on Drake in this ses-
sion. Phil Cavaretta singled, Bill
Nicholson walked and both waltzed
home on Babe Dahlgren's double

Allen Replaces Drake.
Barnard Olsen, bowling into the
Cub lineup, beat out a hit and
Mccullough cleaned up with his shot
into the left-field stands.
That was enough for Drake and
Allen arrived on the scene. After
going along nicely for couple OF
innings, he ran into trouble in the
sixth when Olsen led off with a
single and Bob Sturgeon followed
up with another. Dolph Camilli
then fumbled Passeau's bunt, to
score Olsen and Sturgeon came home
