BROOKLYNS SET TO LEAVE OHIO
 AT NOON TODAY
Waterbury Eliminated By Birmingham in YOungs.
 town Semi.FinaIs, 0.3
By JOHN A. CLuNEY

Youngstown, O., Sept. 1S.-The second heavy dose of grammar school baseball cost Waterbury's Brooklyn A. 0. entry in the Ma tional Baseball Federation Tourna- ment great chance to compete for the le4l championship, which honor will probably go to the Birmingham Acipcos, l940 defending champions and winners over Waterbury yes terday by the convincing margin of Q to 3.
 Two walks in the first inning and an error put three on base, when Davis, Birmingham first Sacker clouted Q double to center field which cleaned the bases. At that point the storm was over temporar- fly, but not for long.
 Jlttery Combination
 A combination of jittery, wild and Glass 2 baseball brought Birming- ham four more runs in the third inning though Kobrin'S bid for a home run to deep center was nipped by Thompson who made sterling catch, after Stansbury, starting pitcher for the Acipcos famed YokSa and Kochella, two of the best B. A. 0. batterS throughout the tournament. Tn the third, Lefty Me- Kenna replaced George Day for Waterbury with the bases loaded Davis hit double-play ball to My. narski, who made a nice stop, but threw badly to home plate to cut of @ runner forced in from third Catcher Korbin then threw the ball into left field and when the dust settled three runs had scored and Davis restetd on third base. He then waltzed in on e wild pitch over Kobrin'S head for the fourth unearned run of the inning.
 58 Runs in s Games
 The Brooklyns, having scored 5s runs in five games were shut out until the fifth when a luSty triple by Jake Banks scored CaSaly with the first Waterbury marker. An- other run in the eighth on Me- Hughs home run to deep center and Korchella's single in the ninth which scored Mack was the B. A. C,'s total for the day, after five game average of nearly 12 runs per game.
 In the hitting department for the tourney, three Waterbury players placed high, Casaly hitting an even 500 with i2 hits in 24 times at bat in 6 games. Koshella, City league batting champ hit .444 for five games, while the dependable Benny YokSa was good for a .360 average in Ave games.
 Set Several Records
 Like the little girl in the nursery rhyme, when the boys were good they were very, very good, but when they were bad they were horrid. However, they did set tournament records for total runs in one game 2i against New York, total runs in six games, 6l and gained the dubi- ous distinction of being the first Waterbury team ever to reach the seini- finals of the National Tourna- nent since 1925, when the first Wa terbury team, also from the Brook lyn A. Q. entered the N. A. B. r. competition.

CARDINALS CUT
 BROOKLYN LEAD
 DOWN 1 GAME
Wyatt and Cooper OppOs- ing MOundsnAen in Series
 Finale This Afternoon
BY PAUL DIX United Press Staff COrrespOndent

United Press staff Correspondent St. Louis, Sept. 13-(UP)- The Cardinals and the Dodgers were back at each others throats today for the final game of their "do-or- die" series and to the victor may 90 the National league champions ship.
 With a nerve-tingling 4.3 victory yesterday, the Cardinals scratched heir way back to within one game of the pace-setting Dodgers If they win today, the standing will be:
 Cardinals: Won, ss: lost, 50; per- centage, .e38; games to play, l6.
 Dodgers: Won, 89; lost, bl; per- centage, ,eS6; games to play, 14.
 But if the Dodgers win, then they'll leave town with . two-game lead over the Cardinals and the two weeks of play left the time may be too short for the scrappy but crippled Cards to catch up with Hrooklyn'st Beloved Buns"
 A pair of right-handers -- Whit Wyatt for the Dodgers and Morton Cooper for the Cardinals --- were scheduled to pitch today. Neither has been Q screaming success rec gently. Cooper failed to finish his last three starts, but his best pitched game recently was Aug. 26 when he beat the Dodgers, Bel. That's the only game he's won from Brook lyn al lseason, losing @ pair early in the year before his arm opera. ton.
 Wyatt, who's won 19 and lost 9, Is all even with the Cards, hav- Ing beaten them twice and lost to them the same number of times, On his last appearance against the Cards Aug. 24 he beat them, 3-2, rosing out Howard Pollet. But in his two most recent efforts Wyatt was knocked out by the Giants and hammered hard in relief role by the Cubs.
 Although the first two games of the series were filled with thrills and tense situations, neither club has been acting like steady, clutch- playing champions. The Cards have made eight errors in two games and the Dodgers five. Fith four er- TOTS yesterday the Cards almost kicked their pennant hopes right Into the bucket. Don Padgett's two misplays in the outfield in tho fifth helped the Dodgers scor0 three runs and put the skids under Pol let, the kid southpaw who's been up from the Texas league only Q month.
 After pollet walked down, first man up in the sixth, he was taken out. He limped off the field, fa- voring c groin injury incurred while pitching in Chicago last week. Max Lanier, another lefty, finished for the Cards and won his first game since July 20 by holding Brooklyn to one hit in the last four in- nings. Two double plays helped him out of jams he got himself into by walks.
 The Cards hero was S7-year-old Estel Crabtree, playing right field in place of the injured Enos Slaughter. Crahtree threw out owen at the plate in the sixth when the Brooklyn catcher tried to score on Billy Hermans single to right. Then in the Cards sixth, Crabtree tied the score with triple which scored Padgett, who had walked. Crabtree scored the win ming run when Crespi flied to Medwick.
 Of the Cards six hits off Curt Davis and Hugh Casey, who pitched the eighth, four were for extra bases-tr!ples by Crabtree and Man. cuso and doubles by CreSpl and Hopp.

idea, very thin idea, and that's all
The plot is develc ped on the sound
stage. Sometimes actors and tech
nicians will wait for hours while
La Cava goes into huddle with
himself or a couple of assistant
writers. Sooner or later they come
up with little more of the plot.
Nevertheless, any star in Holly
wood would drop everything to get
into a La Cava picture. When a
director can turn out successive hits
such as my Man Godfrey" (Which
started Carol Lombard's screwball
career), stage Door" and "Prim-
rose Path" you have to applaud the
neutrality-suspicious. of the system.
Set in an Uproar.
Irene Dunno and Robert Mont
gomery are co-starring in La Cava's
current venture. It's strange,
fascinating adventure to them. At
home the night before, La Cava
sketches out his plot movement and
dialogue for the following days
shooting. At least that's the idea.
1t doesn't always work out. In the
morning, La Cava hands the play
ers their speeches for the day, die
tates the camera set-up and then,
like as not, will change the whole
plan of the scene. 1t takes acting
ability to work under La Cava,
plenty of stamina and, mostly, a
great sense of humor.
Shooting off his cuff yesterday
on Unfinished Business" La Cava
had the whole set in an uproar.
The scene represented a New York
cafe. Montgomery had brought Miss
Dunno into the place after she
had been romantically rebuffed by
his mother. In a cynical mood, the
two are supposed to drink enough
cocktails to put them in a marry
ing mood. Next morning they will
find themselves wed. La Cava knows
that much of his plot. anyway.
While rehearsing this scene, La
Cava paused a moment to 60 into
conference with his cuff. He finally
said to Montgomery:
when the waiter comes up to
your table you order two 'whiz-
bangs"
1.-TWO what?" asked the actor.
An Argument Develops.
That's right-whiz-bangs," in
sisted La Cava. Then Irene asks,
What's whiz-bang?' and you re-
ply, It's a new drink-you feel the
whiz. but you don't hear the bang"
That's pretty cute" approved
Montgomery, and they went into a
rehearsal.
wait minute" one of La Cava's
assistant cuffmen interposed. "You
can't use 'whiz-bang-there's a
drink copyrighted under that name"
La Cava was stubborn. He insist
ed he was going to use it.

a prop man was sent for a die
tionary.
Meanwhile, another assistant was
on the phone, checking the legal
and research departments to de-
termine the possible existence of a
commercial drink known as whiz-
bang.
Finally q Substitute.
The first report was bad news for
La Cava. There was a commercial
drink so named. But he did win
his bet with Miss Dunno. Webster
says that whiz-bang is a type of
bomb, and as such has been added
to the English language.
La Cava looked extremely panied
at this. He began pacing the set,
kicking at little obstacles on the
floor. Montgomery caught up with
him, tugged at his sleeve.
How about whiz-bomb?" Mont
gomery suggested. You feel the

Gets Pal a Role

Stirling Hayden, handsome young
New England sailor turned film
actor, was instrumental in getting
one of his Boston pals a job in the
movies. The friend, Jack Dixon
Boston newspaper photographer and
currently the Paramount actors
house guest in Hollywood, won the
promise of a screen role from Cecil
B. DeMille on the basis of pictures
taken in the days when he and
Hayden adventured through the
South Seas together.
Introduced to DeMille by his host,
Dixon showed the producer director
photographs of himself as a sailor
of fortune and was rewarded the
offer of role in DeMille's next,
Reap the Wild Wind" story of
shipwreckers operating off the
Florida Keys in the 18th century.

whiz, but you don't feel the bomb"
La Cava rejected that with a
grunt, kept on pacing. One after
another, players and crew members
caught up with him to offer vari-
ations. Whiz-bing, whiz-bop, whiz-
pop, etc.
Montgomery finally hit with the
acceptable substitute. 1t was whiz-
boom. You feel the whiz, but you
don't feel the boom.
The drink itself-when brought
in-consisted only of milk-cow's
milk. Miss Durne and Mr.. Mont
gomery didn't feel the whiz, and
they didn't hear the boom.
