 New York, Sept. 1T-(UP)-ThG Brooklyn Dodgers were their old battling, brawling selves today as they went against the dazed Pitts burgh Pirates-praying that the pace-setting St. Louis Cardinals would make just one slip.
 Just let them make one little pebble and they'll find out who's going to win that pennant." Man. ager Leo DWurocher chortled yes- terday when his Brooks snapped their five-game losing streak with one of the most murderous attacks ever seen at EbbetS field.
 It was different Brooklyn ball club than the lstless team that dropuped five straight to give the Cards the National league lead. After a two-day layof the team came up swinging from the floor and blasted six Pirate pitchers for 19 hits and 10--3 victory.
 But St. Louis held the pace and the two-game lead-by topping the Boston Braves, 6-2, for its 33rd victory in nts last 39 starts.
 Big Dolph Camiln, the humping first baseman named the leagues most valuable player last year, led the Brooks out of their hitting slump with four for five, including his 23rd and 24th homers of the year, and !:nocked in five runs. Dixie Walker had four for four and Pete Reiser made three safeties. Whit Wyatt was only as god as he had to be, yielding 10 hits for his 18th victory of the year.
 A pre-game box seat brawl, which could have happened only in Brook lyn, touched of the fireworks. Three spectators battled with and routed lshers and then, unwisely, heckled Mickey Owen and Walker. The two players went into the stands and won a handy decision before po- lice carried of the trio.
 Braves Slaughtered
 Enos Slaughter paced the Cards to viltory with his 18th homer of the year in the third and a single in big sixth inning as the Red- birds punched five of their nine safeties of Jim Tobin for four runs. Ernie White scattered nine hits, allowing two runs on Ernie Lombardi's 10th homer of the sea- son with Nanny Fernandez on board.
 Chicago split with che Phils to replace the Pirates in fifth place. The Cubs dropped the first, 3-1, but took the second, Al.
 Johnny Podgajny bested Claude Passeau in the opener, Benny War ren winning 1t for him with a two run homer in the fifth. Hiram Bithorn handcuffed the Phils in the nightcap.
 Paul Derringer topped Bill Lohr- man in a tightd uel as the Reds stopped the Giants, 3-1. DerringeT gave up four hits and Lohrman is- sued five, including winning homers by Max Marshall and Franb Mccormick.
 The Yankees, with the American league flag nailed up at the stadium IOl1Cu d4Ol4S WAbAl Q VI WAL OENs Detroit as Mary Breuer gave the Tigers only two hits. The Tanks belted four Tiger tossers for 1S safeties, including Gerald Priddy's homer.
 Jim Bagby allowed only five hits as the Cleveland Indians ended 2 six-game losing streak by beating Washington, 5-1. Jeff Heath led the way with three safeties, one for the circuit. It was Bagbys 18th win
 The St. Louis Browns shutout the Boston Red Sox, 90, for Johnny Niggeling's 18th victory. Chet Laabs assisted with his 2Tth homer.
 Dick Fowler hurled his sixth wiJ to allow the Philadelphia Athletic, to end a four game losing streak halting the Chicago White Sox +2.
