 New York, Aug. -~uJP)--If the Dodgers lost ball games the way Manager Leo Dufochef loses his temper practically every time he. sees an umpire, they'd be miles be- hind the last place philiieg. 1
 Fogtunately for Dodger fazls, the yeam's record is little better than Durocher's, but both players and, boss were sulking today oyer a de- cision by umpire Tom Dunn that gave Chicago to. 3 victory in the ninth inning yesterday. es
 It was a hard one to lose and the Dodgers are hard losers. Trailing 4 to l in the last of the ninth, they put on one of their typical rallies to score two runs on a walk to Mike Sandlock. bunt single by Eddie Stanky and a long double by Augie 0alan. All of that happened after two were out but DOdger hopes never die. Up to the plate came Dixie Walker. the Mayor of Flat bush, and he sent grounder to deep short. Umpire Tom Dunn ruled that he was out at first base, but Durocher. the Dodgers, and 24,739 furious fans thought otherwise. The decision gave Chicago a 4 to 3 vic- tory, but though it ended the game 1t didn't end the demonstration.
 Cops Aid Ump
 Earlier yesterday, Durocher got league President Ford Prick to ad- init another umpire. ziggy Sears banished him from Thursdays game too hastily, so the Dodger mouth piece" was in fine form. He railed at Dunn until police came to escort the blue-coat to safety as the crowd barged in. Claude Passeau, backed by Andy Pafko's homer, won his 18th game. Hal Gregg was the loser.
 Dick (Kewpie) Barrett of the Phillies got the nod over Charley (Red) Barrett of the Cardinals with Q 3 to 2 victory at Philadelphia. The pitchers worked on almost even terms, but the Cardinal workhorse had the misfortune to slip a home run ball to Andy Seminick, which produced two Philly runs in the seventh. It was Dick Barrett's fourth win and Charley Barrett's ninth de- feat.
 The Giants made an early lead stand up for 8 3 to 2 victory over the Pirates at New York. Jack Brewer gave up six hits, one a homer to Johnny Barrett. to beat rookie star, Ken Gables.
 Buddy Lewis hit his first homer since returning from the Army to the Washington Senators in a to l victory over the Tigers at Detroit. The victory put Washington only two and a half games out of first place. Making 1t two out of three for Washingon in the crucial eeries", pitcher Mickey Haefner held Detroit to seven hits for his 12th victory.
 Moving Up
 Cleveland climbed to within half game of third place by beating the visiting Athletics, 6 to 4, for the sixth straight Indian Victory. The Indians snuffed a three-run Phila- delphia rally in the ninth before it got out of hand to give veteran Mel Harder the victory over relief pitcher Phil Marchildon, who made his first appearance since being re- leased from German prisoner of war camp.
 Boston stopped its six game los- ing streak against the White Sox at Chicago. to 2, with 15-hit attack that found Johnny Lazor, Tom Mcbride, Skeeter Newsome and Jim Steiner getting three each. Rookie Otis Clark was the winner.
 The Browns handed the Yankees their eighth straight loss, 4 to l, at St. Louis. equaling the longest losing run in Manager Joe Mo- Carthy,s 15-year-regime. The de- feat tumbled the Tanks to sixth place but Manager Mccarthy and first baseman Nick Etten weren't around at tthe finish. Etten was ejected for tossing dirt on Umpire Red Jones and Mccarthy went out in an argument on the play involv- ing Etten, close one at first base. It was the first time in 10 years that Mccarthy had been elected from q game. Nelson Potter held the Yankees to four hits.
 Cincinnati and Boston were not scheduled in the National.
