waits a decision in the current Ma
tional League pennant scrap be-
tween the Brooklyn Dodgers and
the St. Louis Cardinals.
Should Brooklyn win, the series
will open September 30, but the In
augural contest will be the next day
if the Cards triumph.
The series schedule and other de-
tails we're announced yesterday
after a meeting between Baseball
Commissioner A. B. Chandler; Larry
McPhail, president of the New York
Yankees, whose team virtually is
conceded American League winner,
and representatives of the four top
teams in the National League.
MacPhail Not Talking.
After the series meeting, Chand-
ler let MacPhail into his office for
a private conference with Loqacious
Larry presumably about certain
statements attributed to him in
connection with the suspension OF

Cards Spikes Fail
To Curb Robinson
By the Associoted Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-No
Dodger appeared more elated
over his clubs defeat of the
Cards last night than Jackie
Robinson, the feet Negro infleld-
er who tied the score and put the
Brooks back in the game with a
home run into the left-field
bleachers, with Eddie Stanky
scoring ahead of him in the fifth
inning.
Robinson displayed spike cuts
on shoe and said they were
made by the Cardinal catcher,
Joe Garagiola, but hastened to
explain them as accidents.
AS Robinson came to bat in the
third, he and the Cardinals
catcher started talking to each
other and Umpire Beans Reardon
Sprang between them. Il don't
think Garagiola did it intention
ally" Robinson said, but this
makes three times in two games
with the Cardinals that it's hap

Mats Still PunchIess,
Easily Trounced by
Last-PIace Browns
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats are staggering down the
stretch much in the manner in
which they launched the American
League race-with nothing resem-
bling a batting attack. They're car
rying the burden of hitting that is
too sparse and too delicate, with
extra-base blows becoming collec-
tor items.
In their last five games the Mats
have accumulated the modest total
of 81 hits, but So of them have been
singles and the lonesome double
contributed by Mickey Vernon was
wasted. They we're restricted to six
hits, all singles, last night at Grif-
fifth Stadium when last-place ST.
Louis eased to 20 victory before
smattering of 3639 fans.
Twelve tussles have elapsed since
a Nat has pounded a home run
Only SO homers have bounced of
Washington bats this season and
since "a of them have been whacked
on the road local customers may be
excused for feeling the Mats are a
sorry collection of sluggers.
Browns Runs Unearned.
Stan Spence twice has lifted balls
over Griffith Stadium's fence this
season, but the only other Mats to
find the range have been Vernon
and Early Wynn, who have inserted
one homer each in games here
Washington's bleacher fans aren't
in jeopardy with the Mats at bat
for no Nat has pumped ball among
them this year.

two innings due to sinus trouble

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Their 23-14
victory over the Detroit Lions re-
stored a lot of confidence to the
Redskins rockies, but with the magic
almost hypnotic-name OF the
Chicago Bears looming up before
them the apprentice boys are under

If Taylor goes well in Chicago you

Even if Cards Play
.667 Ball 10 Finish
By Joe ReiehIer

Associated rreSS SPoIIS WfHef
Brooklyn's dashing Dodgers never
were in a better position to win the
National League pennant than they
were today following their victory
in the biggest game Of the year for
them.
Yesterday was the game the
Dodgers had to win and they did
with 4-3 licking in st. Louis which
put the Dodgers 51s games up on
the Cardinals.
1t was no secret that Eddie Dyer's
Redbirds needed a sweep OF the
showdown three-game series to get
back into serious contention, or at
the very worst, two victories OF
three.
Dyer knew it. Burt Shotton,
Brooklyn boss, knew it. The Cards
led with their ace, Harry (The Cat)
Brecheen.
Brecheen, with record of Is and
9, went down to his 10th defeat as
he failed to survive the eighth in
ming. The crushing blow was a
pinch, bases loaded, single by Harry
(Cookie) Lavagetto which scored
Carl Furillo with the run that broke
a 3-3 tie.
Cards Face Herculean Task.
The Cards now face q Herculean
task.
An idea how tough the situation
is for the Cards: Even should the
Redbirds win IL of their remaining
18 games. a splendid .667 pace, the
Dodgers can sew it up by winning
only six of IS, a lowly 400 gait.
Yesterdays tense struggle was
witnessed by 29,452. Brecheen was
opposed by 21-year-old Ralph
Branca, who gained his Goth vic
tory. After the Dodgers had gone
ahead, 4-3, in the top of the eighth,
Branca was slugged for two sue
cessive singles In the bottom half
of the inning and was replaced by
Hank Behrman.
The Dodger-Card tussle thrust
into the shadows the slugging feat
of Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh power
hitter, who slammed out four home
runs, three in the second game OF
the Pirates double header with the
Boston Braves, to tie Johnny Mize
of the New York Giants at At.
Kiner Drives in Seven Runs.
Kiner drove in seven runs to help
the Bucs take both games from the
Braves, 4-3 in 13 innings and 1913
The double win enabled the BUGS
to move half game past the Phila-
delphia Phillies into seventh place
Kirby Higbe went the route in
the 13-inning opener, winning his
own game with homer in the final
inning.
The New York Yankees, who lead
the American League by 1914 games
split a ,double-header with Detroit,
winning the second, LIS, after Hal
Newhouser tanned them with six hits
in pitching the Tigers to To vic
tory in the opener. Since the
second-place Boston Red Sox also
were held to split by Cleveland,
any combination of four Yankee vic
tories and Red Sox defeats would
clinch the flag for the Bronx Bomb
ers.
The Indians took the first in a
free hitting affair, 1913, but the Red
Sox, behind Dave Ferriss, came back
to win the second game, 8-3.
Ken Raffensberger, Cincinnati
left-hander, snapped a five-game
winning streak Of the New York
Giants by pitching the Reds to a
80 victory. Johnny Mize accounted
for one of the Giants runs with his
47th home run of the season.
