 New York, July % = (UP) - Re. yardleSs of the outcome of today'c contest between the Brooklyn Dodg. CTS and St. Louis Cardinals-tht "one-two" teams in the Nationa )eaguge-the ability of the Flat bushers to stay seven games in front must be credited to their aptitude for crushing the loops weak sis ters."
 The Cards gained an even split in their vital doubleheader with the Dodgers yesterday to remain ahead In the season series between the two, 8-7, but their inability to crush the more feeble squads-the Braves and Phils-nay cost them the flag
 Of course, the loss of Johnny MiZe and his potent punch has helped hamstring the Cards, who seem to play like champions only against the tougher clubs. But thus far the Cards have played 32 games against the Braves and Phils and have won 9 and dropped 10 for a percentage of .668. On their present eastern tour they were stung twice, once by the PhilS and once bby the Braves.
 Compare that record with the Dodgers percentage of .826 for 19 victories out of g with the league doormats and the answer to what makes team win pennants is sim ple-step on the sniall-timers and keep stepping on them hard.
 Rizzo Homers
 One of the biggest Ebbets field crowds of the season-33,212 paid watched the Dodgers divide with the Cards yesterday. The Dodgers squeezed through a 7-6 decision in the opener but bowed to Max Lan- ier's six-hit pitching and a 16-hit Cardinal nightcap, 9-1.
 An eighth-inning home run by Johnny RizZo broke a Gall deadlock and gave the Dodgers the opener after Jimmy Brown had singled home two runs to tie the score in the sixth. Both Starters-Ern1e White for St. Louis and Larry French for the Dodgers = were knocked out of the box.
 A seven-run outburst against Kir- by Higbe and Ed Head broke the afte1piece wide open in the seventh frame. Earlier it had been a tight l-1 pitching duel, but two misplayed bunts opened the gates and 12 Card inals went to bat before George Kurowski was tagged on the base line for the third out.
 Cincinnati held on to third place by defeating the Phils, 8-1 and 3-1, while the fourth-place Giants trinmed the Cubs, 9-5 and 80. The Phils made only two hits off John ny Wander Nicer in the first game one in the first and one in the ninth, while Cincinnati recruit Eric Tipton drove in four runs. Ray Starr won his 18th with a five-hlt- ter in the nightcap. Dick west homered with one on for the Reds in the second.
 A six-run first inning, climaxed by Willard Marshall's 11th homer with two on, helped Carl HubDell win his fourth straight for the Giants in the first game. Hubbell gave up 12 hits including three homers. Hal Schumacher won his eighth with 8 three-hit shutout 1n the nightcap. The Giants got only four hits but scored their first run on two walks, an error and an ln- fiel d out. Two more walks, a single hv Billy Jurges and a pair Of tIes tallied the others.
 BOnham Wins 11th
 Bolstered by a Yankee attack that included three homers, Ernie Bon ham won his 11th triumph as he beat the White Sox, 8-3. Joe Cor don homered with two on in the third and Charley Keller came through in the same frame with none on. both blows coming off Ed smith. Joe Haynes served up. a 1at four-base pitch to Joe DiMaggio in the fifth. DiMaggio also got 8 triple and two singles.
 Alex Carrasquel shook off seven errors by his mates and pitched the senators to a 9-4 triumph over the Browns. St. Louis made only one error. when Rick Terrell missed the third strike on Jimmy Vernon 1n the second but 1t was enough to start a rally that was good for five runs. Stan Spence collected four of Wash ington's 10 hits. /
 The Red Sox increased their sec ond-place lead over the Indians last night by winning their second straight from Cleveland, 3-1. Tony Lupien's double with the bases filled in the second drove in three runs to furnish Joe Dobson with all he needed for his seventh victory. Mike Ryba relieved Dobson and retired two pinch-hitters in order with two men on to save the game.
 The Braves scored the winning run on a fielder's choice in the 9th 10 beat Pittsburgh, 4-3. Bob Elliott Iuggled Nanny Fernandes' double play grounder, tagging third for the Eorce-out but too late to prevent Sibby Sisti from scoring.
