 New York, Sept. is.--CUp)-The St. Louis Cardinals and Washing
 ton Senators, banking on parallel miracles to pull them through, pro- longed the pennsnt suspense In the major league stretch drives today after knocking o1 the leading Cubs and Tigers.
 For both the Cards and Mats to come through when the mathe- nlatlcs books are stacked against them would be llghtnlng striking twice in almost the same place. There was no convincing the coclky crews on either club that it couldn't Do done.
 The rising Red Birds were two games behind with 10 left to play and the Senators were c game and c half in arrears with only Ave con- tests left In which to make up the difference.
 The Tigers must take on the Cleveland Indians and the brilliant Bobby Teller while the Senators are idle today and the Cubs, one down already In their three game set at st. Louis, play the Cards again tonight.
 Cubs Cousins"
 The Cardinals, who have refused to be awed by the lofty petition Of the Cubs, beat them for the 18th time in l0 games last night, com- Ing from behind with c 9 to 2 tri. umph for Charley (Red) Barrett.
 The victory was number a of the season for "Chuckin' Charley" his fourth without . defeat against the Cubs. Chicago scored two runs in the first and went at it As if they intended to make . rout ok the game. Don Johnson was safe on Al Schoendlenst,s error ct shcEt, Harry Lowrey singled him to second and bobble by Ray Sanders put Phu Cavarretta on. Andy Pasko doubled home two runs and Oavar. retta was out trying to mako 1t three.
 After that, Barrett had the Cubs eating out of his biz right hand. He gave up only five more hits, none dangerous. The Cards got back one run in their half of the first when Johnny Hopp doubled and came home on George KurowskiS single. The clutch hitting" Kurowskl also drove in the other two runs in the fifth when he got 0 bounding single with the bases loaded.
 The Senators, playing in c morass of mud ct Washington, druhhed the Tigers, I2 to 6. Paul (Di3xy) Trout, who had beaten them in one game of the series and had stopped them cold h the last inning of another, was tired and ineffective. He failed to last the first inning when the Mats scored four times. Before the game was over, flve more Tiger hurlerS had gone throuEh the null. The Senators fattened thelY averages with le hits.
 Scores Plentiful
 Joey Kuhel and George Case each got q. triple and two slnglos. Thelr extree ebaSe blows came when they did the most good. Kuhel spaFked the first inning fireworks with his two run triple. When the Tigers tied 1t Up with live runs in the sixth, the Senators came back to score four times in the seventh, Case clearing the bases with his triple. Emil (Dutch) Leonard, who relieved Walter MAsterson was the winner. It was his i7th triumph.
 Tn the only other major league games, the Reds and Braves split lt Cincinnati Boston won the first, to in il innings. Rookie I'd Wright outpltched rookie Eari Hars tist, although each permitted only 'our hits. The Reds won the ses- ,nd game, c to I. Hank 1auer hit .wo homers after getting one in the irst game to pace the winning Ats ,ack.
