NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-While
the fans aren't breaking down
the gates to see the National
Tennis Championships, somebody
must think the game is tmpor-
tant. Manufacturers report that
they can't get rubber for golf
balls. hand balls, etc, but there
still is a trickle coming in for
tennis balls. Incidentally, they're
one kind of balls that can't be
reclaimed. 1t might be possible
to let the air out, put on a new
cover and reinflate them, but
only as a laboratory stunt.

the Pittsburgh Steelers headed
for tonight's Al-Star game in
Chicago with the idea of signing
Bill Dudley and Andy Tomasic,
but Dudley more likely is to go
back to Virginia as freshman

The World Series again is be-
ginning to look safe for the Brook
lyn Dodgers and New York Yankees.
What little excitement had been
breathed into the two major league
pennant races in recent days ap-
parently was expelled yesterday as
the Brooklyn Dodgers bounced out
Of their lethargy and quelled the
st. Louis Cardinals, Al, and the
onrush OF the Boston Red Sox was
checked by the Cleveland Indians,
AZ.
The Dodgers had the cocksure-
ness taken out of them at st. Louis
as the Redbirds took the first three
tussles, but the net result of the
struggle in Sportsman's Park was to
send the Dodgers into the last
month of the season with 5iz-
game lead and the knowledge that
they would need to stay awake to
keep 1t.
Get Even With Lanier.
The Cardinals came back last
night with Max Lanier In the
fourth game of the series with just
two days rest since he had held
Brooklyn to four hits Monday
night. The stocky southpaw wasn't
up to the job, however, and was
shelled for five successive singles
and three runs in the fourth Then
another lefthander, Ernie White,
came in and was pelted for an addi-
tional single and Brooklyn's final
run before getting his house in
order.
It was the veteran Curt Davis
once Cardinal, who directed the
Dodger revival. In gaining his 14th
triumph of the season he held the
Redbirds to eight scattered hits and
knocked in two of Brooklyn's runs
with a single.
A crowd OF 1865 saw the game
bringing the attendance for tht
series to more than $1,000.
