ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

By HUH FULLER lON
New York, Sept. 8.--H-Virtually
every minor baseball league that
has ended its season (and most
Of them are through now except
for playoffs) was able to report
financially successful year
With ten new leagues operating,
they we're a cinch to beat last
years minor league total of more
than 30,000,000 paid admissions.
But some of the older, wiser
guys down in the bushes are shak-
ing their heads over the situation
. They know from bitter eX-
pelience with the lean years that
the late W. G.. Bramham wasn't
just making a noice when he warn
eel about reckless spending" and
alrady there have been indica-
lions that the lean years may
come again.
During the l947 season there
were a few franchise shifts, with
more threatened during the whit
er. Some clubs lost money because
of the weather, because they could
not win enough games or because
they spent too much money.

DODGERS In
GOOD LEAD,
NAT.EEACUE
BY JOE REICHLER

associated Press Sports Wriser)
In TIE East the six-word query
on every baseball bugs lips is
Can the Dodgers hold their lead?"
In the West it is can the Cards
catch the Bums?"
Following yesterdays games
Brooklyn still lead the Redkirds,
but only by five and half games
with three weeks of the season
remaining.
The Dodges have Is games lett
to play, but IA of these are on
the road The Cards have 81
games left, IA at home. Any COM
bination of Is Dodger victories
or st. Louis defeats would clinl h
The flag for Brooklyn.
The Cardinals blew a wcnCortul
opportunity to dig deep into the
Brooklyn bulge yesterday when
they lost the second game of a
double-header to the Cincinnati
Reds in st. Louis. They already
had whipped the Reds in the
opener 1872 while the Dodgers
were beaten by the New York
Giants at the Polo Grounds 7-6
to reduce Brooklyn's lead to five
games. A win meant only four
and half game difference, and
Lest of all, only a three-game de-
ficit in the losing column.
But a southpaw slanter named
Ken Raffensherger showed them
back en- their heels with a nifty
to twirl AZ win for
the Reds.
Cards Get Blow
The Cards may have oeen dealt
a severe blow when second base
man Red Schoendienst suffered
a dislocated shoulder while slid
ing into second in the fourth in
ming of the opener. He was ex-
rected to be out for week.
The Giants big weapon, the
home run, came to their assistance
in their TO conquest Of the Dodg-
els. Johnny Mize clouted his 46th
and Will Marshall his 35th, and
Buddy Kerr his sixth to account
for six Giant runs. The Dodgers
Dixie Walker, Cookie Lavagetto
and pinch hitter Gene Hermanski
also belted balls into the stands
to account for five of the six
runs.
Robinson Out
Jackie Robinson, rookie first
baseman, missed his first game
of the season when he was fore
ed to sit on the side mss with
a wrenched back, suffered in Sat-
urday's tilt with the Giants.
The Yankees increased their

day on the Western Hemisphere de-
fense treaty signed in Rio de Janiero
but it was evident the government
took the view that Canada should
remain aloof from the accord, even
though invited to join.
Sources close to the government
said Canada probably could expect
only token assistance from any
Latin American country II attacked
and that the existing joint defense
arrangement with the United States
was regarded as adequate for
Canadian needs.
They said the United States OBJ
viously would continue to be consid-
cred as the chief bulwark for Cana
da against aggression.
Quarters close to the government
said that If Canada was invited to
adhere to the general hemisphere
defense arrangement, acceptance
likely would be regarded by Russia
as aimed against her.
Canada was represented as par
ticularly touchy about the feelings
Of her Arctic neighbor in view OF
Soviet complaints in the past that
Canada was too friendly with the
