BORONY AGAIN BEAT CARDS 4-1 IN 10 INNINGS
By CARL LUNDQUIST

tory has repeated itself too often for the pennant-chasing Cubs 1T their unhappy relations with thu Cardinals this season but today just for once-they were glad 1t did
 Chicago's $l00,000 investment Hank Borowy, beat the Cards, 1 tc 1, last night in an exact duplicate of his last victory over them, arlc there seemed to be legible hand writing on the wall that this might have been the game of decision in the stirring clutch" fight be- tween the clubs.
 It was 8 game the Cardinal couldn't afford to lose because il put them three full games behind with only nine more to play. Thai means the Cubs could finish witt only four victories in their remain ing nine games and the Cards would have to win seven of theirs tC even gain tie.
 Borowy gained the decision, his ninth since coming to the Cubs from the Yankees, in a wild 10th inning rally which produced three runs. On Sept. 3, in another To- inning game with the Cards on the same St. Louis battle-ground, three runs gave Borowy a 4 to victory.
 It was @ different story for the harried Detroit Tigers in the Amer ican League, who saw their lead melt to a single game over the in- domitable Washington Senators, as Bobby Teller set them down with just one toy hit for a 2 to o Cleve- land victory.
 More Trouble
 The Tigers, still favoriteS, never thelesS must face the tough Indians, a team that has beaten them nine times, again today while the Sena- tors play the Yankees at New York. Detroit, with seven games to play, would have to win six of them to clinch the pennart if Washington won all of its remaining five something that isn't beyond the realm of possibility considering the manner in which the Senators have revived in the stretch.
 The Indians, who might have made Q race of 1t themselves had not their manager and spark-plug, Lou Boudreau, gone out with injur- les, were ready with their number two pitcher, Allie Reynolds, while the Tigers were forced to rely on Alton Benton, strict liability in the closing stages of the race be- cause of his game" leg, which has troubled him since he broke 1t early In the season.
 Given two-run margin by Jeff Heath's towering homer, Teller struck out seven, including three pinch hitters in the eighth. The Iowa fre-baller just missed record ing his second no-hitter when Jim- my Outlaw looped a lazy single over the infield in the fifth.
 Tiger Manager Steve O'Neill, try ing to get the most out of his we'll used pitching staff, worked three men, Les Mueller, George Caster and Tommy Bridges and the In- dianS made only three hits them selves. Neither Caster nor Bridges permitted hit after Mueller was lifted in the fourth.
 At St. Louis, the Cubs were ready with a lefty, SS-year-old Ray (Pap- py) Prim to counter the Cardinal southpaw ace, Kerry Brecheen. Both have won l3 games. Brecheen won five in 8 row and Prirn has taken his last three.
 Cards Collapse
 It was jittery Cardinal defense that choked up in the 10th to per- init the Cubs to triumph with three runs on only one hit for their fifth win in 19 games with St. Louis The Cubs had come from behind to tie the score in the ninth on another error, by George Kurowski. He let Don Johnson's grounder go through him and pinch-runner Ed Sauer gained second on sacrifice, then scored on Andy Pafko's single. Tn the 10th Tommy Livingston walked and rookie southpaw George Dock ins, who had pitched brilliantly, fumbled Bill Schuster's bunt. Bor- owy followed with 8 bunt and Dockins threw late to third, filling the bases. Bill Nicholson greeted re- lief pitcher Ken Burkhardt with 6 two-run single after which Burk- hardt let in the third run trying to pick Borowy off third.
 In other National League games, the Dodgers topped the Giants, s. to 4, at Brooklyn on homers by Mike Sandlock and Goodwin Rosen, while Boston won a { to 0 game behind Johnny Hutchings' tight pitching at Philadelphia,
 The Browns strengthened their hold on third place in the Amer ican by topping the Yankees, 6 to 5 and 4 to 3. in two tight 10-inning games at New York. George Me- Quinn and Vern Stephens got Brownie homers while Aaron Robin son, Oscar Grimes and George Stirnweiss hit for the route for New York.
 Boston topped the visiting Ath- leticS twice, II to 10 and 3 to o, with rookie Otis Clark pitching the Shutout.
