The Dodgers have an unusual

They are much more than a local

Equal in Strength

1t wasn't SO long ago that the
Cardinals dropped five in a row to
inherit four-game deficit. But
they bounded back and showed
themselves none the worse for wear
and tear.
Then, when the Cardinals started
moving up, the Dodgers blasted
their immediate hopes, proving that
they, too, have their share of heart.
There isn't 4 great deal Of dif-
ference in the strength Of the two
teams. That, Of course, is obvious.
Both are capably managed, both are
good hustlers, hungry for victory,
and both can field and hit.
Too, there is little difference in
the pitching abilities. st. Louis has
no duet to match the combined win
ming records of Whit Wyatt and Kir-
by Higbe. But the Cardinals have a
bit more average strength.
A bit Of history isn't completely
out of line at this point. It was
only II years ago that St. Louis and
Brooklyn were locked in another
life-or-death struggle. The Cardi-
mails and the Dodgers were playing
three-day series which started on
September 16. The league-Ieadinx
Dodgers were on top of an 1l-game
winning streak for one-game mar
gin over the Red Birds, who had
taken Fl out of their last rs.
In the opening tilt, Brooklyn's
great Dazzy Vance went out to meet
Wild Bill Hallahan, Cardinal money
pitcher. At least 10000 fans were
going completely mad.
At the end Of six innings the two
old masters were deadlocked 90.
Nine innings and still no runner had
crossed home plate. Then, in the
last half of the tenth, Andy High,
a pinch hitter, lined q double to
right center and later scored ON q
single to right. The first game had
ended with 10 win for st. Louis.
The Cards had eased into first place
by one percentage point. Gloom de-
scended ON Brooklyn.
Luque opposed Sylvester johnson
in the second tilt. A 3-3 deadlock
in the ninth and with two aboard in
the Cardinal half. High hit another
double to right. scoring two men
for a SO victory. Brooklyn was
blighted place.
