three-cushion billiard field tonight.
And those who saw him uncork
another of his customary rallies last
night to overcome Allen Hall, be-
leve that he will retain his crown.
His opponent will be Jay Bozeman,
the young Vallejo (Calif) star who
saw his own championship chances
jolted last night when he lost to
Jake Schaefer, runner-up to Hoppe
last year.
1t was Welker Cochran who con-
vinced the cue public Tuesday night
that Hoppe could be beaten. How
ever, Hoppe demonstrated last night
that being subjected to two defeats
in row was something else again.
He came from behind a 12-point
disadvantage just as he did against
Joe Chamaco in an earlier match
and won, so to 48 in Sc innings. A
streak Of remarkable shooting had
carried Hall to 44-to-32 lead in 35
frames, but thereafter his game
faded 1t was Hopes 14th triumph
in IS matches.
Schaefer gained undisputed pos
session Of second place and remained
in the thick of the title fight by dis
posing of Jay Bozeman of Vallejo,
Calf, in SO innings, so to 40.
Both had entered the match with
a record of u victories and 2 de-
featS.
Hoppe and Schaefer wind up
against each other tomorrow night.
In yesterdays other matches,
Cochran followed up his conquest Of
Hoppe with a new tournament high
run Of 13 in defeating Art Rubin Of
New York, so to % in 30 innings,
while Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia
turned back Art Thurnblad of Ke-

Redbirds' White Close
To Classic Triumph
When Foe Rallies
Ry JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Destiny's Dodgers can do no wrong
these days and even when they
lose fate figures out some way TO
compensate them.
Brooklyn ran into a 4-3 thinning
pitfall yesterday at Cincinnati and
the game scarcely had ended before
darkness descended on st. Louis
and blacked out the Cardinals and
New York Giants in IL 10-innirg
tie.
This shaved the Dodgers National
League lead from two games IN a
game and a half. but on long
range basis the Cardinals tie was
almost as damaging as 2 defeat.
1t figures out this way:
Brooklyn has won 90 games lost
81 and has II TO play.
st. Louis has won SO, lost 81 and
has l3 TO play
Thus the Dodgers will plav l54
games this season to 153 for ST.
Louis and if both teams lose the
same number of games. Brooklyn
still will take the championship.
Cards Have More Games.
The Cardinals have two more con-
tests left on their schedule than
have the Dodgers If BROOKLYN wins.
say 10 out of II. St. Louis must win
l3 out of 13 because of yesterdays
deadlock.
The stalemate was a shock to ST.
Louis. The Cards had beaten the
feeble Giants IS out of q times
previously, including double
header Sunday. and were right on
the verge of hanging up a 10 classic
conquest yesterday when the Giants
deadlocked the game.
Ernie White. the Redbirds' great
young lefthander. had shut out the
Giants for eight innings on four
hits and appeared certain TO acquire
his 18th victory. Two singles had
given him run in the first inning.
and even though the Cardinals made
only three hits and no runs off Hal
Schumacher for the next seven STAN
zas. this tally seemed enough.
Then with one out in the ninth,
Morrie Arnovich singled and Billy
Jurges doubled Lon Warneke hur-
ried to rescue White. but Mickey
Witek singled the tying run across
and the ball game might as we'll
have ended right there instead Of
waiting for the umpires to call 1t
off after the 10th.
The schedule leaves no opportunity
for replaying the contest.
Riddle HurIs Alright Ball.
The affair at Cincinnati was al
most equally tight. Elmer The
Great Riddle allowed only six hits
and didn't give an earned run in
the nine innings he worked Bill
Werber singled home run for him
in the first and knocked in two
more with a double in the seventh.
But each time errors helped Brook
lyn bounce back to tie the score
once in the second inning and again
in the ninth.

Their l0-to-6 victory over the
Chicago Cardinals last night not
only was their second triumph in
two league games. but also caused
Jimmy Conzelman's Cardinals to
start the season at the bottom of
the standings, which is where they
finished last year.
The Rams had beaten the Pitts
burgh Steelers in their previous
game, II to IA, but didn't have that
much scoring oomph last night.
In fact. the only time they were
really hot Extensively was in the
second period when Johnny Wilson'S S
touchdown capped an 8l-yard ad-
vance and Boyd Clay kicked 20
yard field goal. Clay also booted
the point after touchdown.
The revamped Cardinals. revealing
the ground-gaining talents of Rookie
Bob Morrow of Illinois Wesleyan and
the passing power of Ray Mallouf
of Southern Methodist, put a lot of
Zip into third-period drive which
netted a touchdown by Johnny Hall
on an end run from the 4-yard line
The Chicagoans also Stormed the
Cleveland side of the field in the
