 It's all over but the shouting. If Brooklyn blows the National League pennant now, every member of the Dodgers including Manager Burt Shotton ought to be made to under go saliva test.
 The crushing blow to the Cardi- nals' fast fading flag hopes was le- liyered by remote control yesterday when the rampaging Brooks routed the Reds twice in Cincinnati double header 13-2 and l6-3 while the Cards were being trampled in St Louis, 9-1 by the New York Giants.
 As a result, the Dodgers upped their margin over the Cards to sev- en full games. They can clinch the flag by winning seven of their e. maining Is. Any combination of seven Dodger victories and Card losses would dethrone the world champion Cardinals.
 Already in were the New York Yankees in the American League. Following their 6-4 win over the St. Louis Browns at the Yankee Stad- ium, the worst that Bronx bonn bardiers can get now is a tie. One more win or Boston defeat would end all mathematical chance of the Red SoX.
 It would easily come today as the Tanks again engage the last place Browns while the Red Sox play two games with the Chicago White Sox in Boston Yesterdays twin bill be- tween Boston and Chicago was rain- ed out after seven innings of the first game with the score tied at Il.
 Although the Detroit Tigers wal loped the Senators twice in Wash ington l6-6 and 8-4 to move past the Red Sox into second place. they League were officially eliminated from any pennant hopes when the Yankees won.

Lefty Warren Spahn pitched a 10 tri- umph for the Braves in the opener, but Johnny Schmitz chucked 6-1 eight-hit victory for the Cubs in the second game. The Giants, too, de- spite their victory, saw their flag hopes disappear
 The Philadelphia Pniis vacated the cellar to make room for Pitts burgh as they dumped the Pirates twice 7-3 and 9-7 in a double header in Pittsburgh. The Phils hold sev- enth place by half a game.

 After the cloud of salt driven up by the 28-foot snub-nosed ve- hic,c steeled after the north-to- south run, Cobb returned to the timers stand in the middle of the measured mile and reported that a gaping hole had been torn in the body and the south to north run would not be made.
