Brooklyn's Hopes For Ma

ened By Defeat

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-(P-The
Brooklyn Dodgers were left dor
my in the National League pen
nant race today as the New York
Giants scored four times IN the
seventh inning to carry off to
victory.
AS a result the Dodgers were
made subject to mathematical
elimination as soon as the ST..
Louis Cardinals win one more
game.
The Cardinals. scheduled to play
the Chicago Cubs tonight, needed
at leN another day to dispose of
the Cincinnati Reds, however.
All the Brooklyn runs today
were packed into the second in
ming on two singles, two walks and
wild throw by Sid Gordon, the
Giants third baseman.
New York reclaimed one of
these runs from Kirby Higbe in
the third on triple by Johnny
Rucker and single by Mickey
Wick. Gordon singled another
across in the sixth and the ball
game blew up in the seventh.
Nap Reyes was safe on a fun
BILE and Joe Kerr was hit by a
pitched ball. Mel OFT came up to
bat for Ken Chase, the Giants
starting hurler, and Les Weber
replaced Higbe only to walk OFT
and load the bases with none out.
A forceout and three singles quick
ly counted four runs.
