 New York, July 19.-(UP)-The novel idea that the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS were going to play the world series in mid-season has given St. Louis Cardinal Manager Billy 5outhworth his biggest laugh of the year.
 Until the St. Louis Cardinals came to town Wednesday the burning is- sue in Flatbush was whether the Dodgers should play all the world series games at Yankee Stadium or play their share at EbbetS field. Fans have battled in barroorns over the issue and newspaper stories have discussed the matter pro and can. It was a lot of fun but it didn't last.
 Even though the Dodgers still are leading the National league by two games, Left Fielder Johnny Hopp of the Cardinals says the fans be- hind him set up the old Brooklyn wall, "Wait'N next year." during yes- terday'S thorough trouncing of Leo Durocher's club by the speed boys from St. Looey.
 "When we came to town four games behind the Dodgers and I saw all those stories about whether the Dodgers should play the entire world series at Yankee Stadium, got quite a kick out of it." South worth confessed last night before entraining for Boston with his club. That was a new one for me, win- ming the pennant in July. Well, if you have any doubts about my thoughts on the matter just look at what we did to the Dodgers"
 Mound Aces "Trumped"
 The Cardinals knocked the Dodg- CTS two pitching aces, Whit Wyatt and Kirby Higbe, out of the box and swept the 2-game series, "A and 6-1. The Dodgers played as if they were tired and weary of 1t all; the Cards played aS if they were just getting their second wind and preparing to move back into the National legue throne room.
 Ernie White, the cottou-topped Cardinal Southpaw, held the Dodg. CTS to six hits (none after the fourth) in becoming the first left- handler to beat Brooklyn twice this season. Hopp and Mi7e with three hits each led the Cards 1l-hit at- tack.
 The Yankee pennant express was slowed down by Bob Teller in a bat- tie of mud and rain as the Indians beat the Bronx Bombers, 2-1, in Q Thinning game delayed by rain and finally halted by darkness. Joe DiMaggio, halted Thursday night after hitting in 56 straight games, went back to work overhauling Ted Williams in the American league batting race by getting a double and single in three trips. Oscar Crimes double, Macks safe bunt, and an infleld out accounted for Cleveland's winning run. Teller famed eight, walked two and al- lowed five hits in winning his leth game.
 Hard Luck
 Lefty Grove failed again in quest of his 300th major league victory when the White Sox conuuered the Red Sox, 4-3, in 10-inningg. Lou Finney's error on Appling's fly let in the winning run with two out.
 Dutch Leonard handcuffed the Tigers as Washington beat Detroit, S-1, in a game called at the end of the eighth because of rain. Bob Johnson's 18th homer with two on in the ninth sparked 6 4-run rally which gave the Athletics a 6-5 vic- tory over the Browns.
 In the other National league ac- tion, Pittsburgh and Boston split twin bill. The Pirates won the opener, 5-1, behind Ken HeintbeI- mans 4-hit pitching and the Braves won the nightcap, 4-3. Gene Moore's single drove in the winning run in a 2-run rally in the ninth.
