Dodgers Sixth Victory
Over Giants. Boosts
Love for Ex-Foes
By Joe Reichler
Associated Pres. Sports Writer

There was a time when 1t wasn't
considered safe for a New York
Giant player to be seen walking in
the streets of Brooklyn. Today the
thankful Flatbush citizenry is ready
to spread out the welcome mat for
anybody wearing a Giant uniform.
In recent years Giant appear.
ance at Ebbets Field inevitably has
meant Dodger victory. In the last
three years the Brooks have whipped
the Giants rs times in 20 games on
their home grounds. They won 9 Of
II in 1945. 10 of II last year and
thus far this season have flattened
their kindly neighbors six times in
seven engagements.
Not only have the Giants been
accommodating to the Brooks. but
they've been especially troublesome
to the Dodgers arch-foes, the st.
Louis Cardinals. In 10 engagements
with the Redbirds, the Giants have
come out on top 10 times. So 1t Is
easy to see why the Dodgers hate
for the Giants has turned to love.
DOugerS increase Leau.
The Giants played their usual
role of stooges at Ebbets Field last
night when they bowed to the
Brooks, 6-3, enabling the Dodgers
to increase their National League
lead over the idle Cards to 7,a
games.
Jackie Robinson, who contributed
a single to the five-run sixth inning
rally, stole home while Joe Beggs
was warming up in that inning. 1t
was his Oath stolen base and his
third steal of home this season.
Willard Marshall's 32d home run
was the Giants 181st of the season.
One more will tie the major league
record of 1872 set by the New York
Yankees of 1896.
The Boston Braves moved within
a half game Of the second place
Cards by tripping the Phillies in
Philadelphia, go, in 17-hit attack.
Harris Goes Limit.
Eddie Pellagrini doubled in two
runs in the last of the seventh to
enable the Red Sox to defeat the
Philadelphia Athletics, 81, in Bos-
ton. Lefty Mickey Harris, who went
the route for the first time this
season, limited the AS to three hits
for his fifth victory.
Landing on Ellis Kinder for four
runs in the sixth, the Detroit Tigers
defeated the Browns in st. Louis,
5-4. Fred Hutchinson, who recorded
his 18th victory, helped his own
cause when he tripled and stole
home. Vern Stephens hit his 14th
homer for the losers.
The game between the Chicago
White Sox and Indians at Cleveland
was postponed by rain. Pittsburgh.
Chicago, Cincinnati and the Card
inals in the National League were
not scheduled. All games were
played at night.

Crowley Likes Crowd,
But Not Rocket Loss
BY the Asseeiated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 3o.-"Sleepy"
Jim Crowley. ex-commissioner of
the All-America Conference who
now holds the Chicago Rockets Of
the same league, thinks there def
nitely is q place for three pro teams
in Chicago.
He was more than convinced after
his Rockets opened the All-American
season last night in Soldier Field
before a paid crowd Of 41,182, a
gathering which surpassed Crow
ley's expectations. 1t would have
been a perfect evening had the
Rockets won-but the Los Angeles
Dons grabbed a 24-21 decision in
the kind of a see-saw struggle the
fans go for.
The Chicago Bears, National
Football League champions, and the
Cardinals, with the 500, 900 Charley
Trippi in their backfield, are the
teams Crowley has to buck for Chi
cago patronage. While these two
play Sunday afternoon games, the
Rockets have Friday night attrac-
tions.

The Davis Cup, symbol OF interna-
tional tennis supremacy, goes up for
grabs for the 36th time here today,
with the United States top-heavy
favorite to hang on to it for at least
another year by turning back the
challenge of Australia.
Jack Kramer of Los Angeles and
Australia's Dinny Pals, champions
of their respective countries, will
open the proceedings at 2:15 pm.
(EDT in the first singles match Of
the series on the green-carpeted
center court at the Forest Hills Sta

In the second match it will be
Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Calf,
Americas second-ranking singles
star, against former Australian
Titleholder John Bromwich, veteran
of three previous challenge rounds
in the last 10 years.
Everybody Pleased.
This first-day setup, determined
yesterday when Mrs. T. Ellsworth
Davenport of New York, wife of the
referee, pulled the names out of the
big silver bowl, proved fortunate and
somewhat unusual, in that it pleased
everybody concerned.
Bromwich appears to have re-
gained his prewar form and the
Aussies have made no secret of their
hope that he would be paired against
Schroeder the first time out, thus
enhancing their chances for an even
break today.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Early
Wynn's delightful dream Of 20
victory season rapidly is vanishing,
with time running out on the Mats
sturdy right-hander and luck desert
ing him in well-pitched, close games.
It could have been a sensational
year for the bronzed talented twirler
instead of a highly creditable but
still distressing season.
Wynn has dropped three OF his
last four starts, each by a margin
of one run. Beaten successfully in
81 games by Boston and Philadel-
phia before squeezing past Detroit,
80, Early succumbed to the New
York Yankees, 4-3, in 10 innings
here last night before 44,248 fans.
He deserved a better fate in a
f1otly- contested battle, for he limited
the Yankees to six hits and should
have been a 81 winner IN nine
innings, but two unearned New
York runs in the seventh locked
the score and led to Wynn's ulti-
mate defeat.
Two Homers for Spence.
Stan Spence, who hadn't belted
home run since July II, propelled
the Mats into a 81 lead in the sec
ond after the Yankees scored IN the
first inning on Johnny LindelPs
triple and Joe Di Maggio's double.
Spence rammed homer into the
rightfield stands of Bobo Newsom
after Mickey Vernon had singled
and in the fourth inning with none
on Spence duplicated the drive TO
stake Washington to a 81 margin.
It was the third time this season
that Spence had contributed TWO
successive homers to the Mats at
tack, with Stubby Overmire ana Al
Benton being his previous victims,
but those blows couldn't offset tne
Mats shoddy fielding in the seventh.
In that inning George McQulnn
was safe when Jerry Priddy fumbled
his slow roller and when Bill john
son tapped meekly to wynn, tne
Mats i1urler chucked the double
play ball into centerfeld. Wynn
then walked Aaron Robinson and
Phil Rizzuto to force across run
and the Yankees scored their second
run Of the inning without beneflt OF
hit when Bobby Brown batted 1or
Newsom and flied to Joe Grace,
johnson scoring after the catch.
One Hit After Fourth.
The Mats fashioned only one mt
after Spence's fourth-inning homer
Priddy singled off Joe Page to open
the 10th. but the Mats failed 10
develop threat when Eddie Yost
forced Priddy, Frank Mancuso forced
Yost and George stirnweiss tossed
out Wynn.
New York showed across the win
ming run after Stirnweiss and Tom

none out in the 10th. Lindells

U.S.. Heavy Davis Cup Fovorite
As Kramer Faces Pals Today

Such an arrangement Is equally
satisfactory to the Americans, who
recall that Schroeder stopped Brom-
wich in the opener at Melbourne last
winter when they went on to sweep
the series, SO, and recapture the
cup they had relinquished to the
Aussies for the duration in 1899.
Everybody, including the Aus
tralians, gives the challengers only
an outside chance of taking a match
from Kramer, generally accepted
as the greatest amateur player in
the world today.
Concentrate on Schroeder.
This means the visitors will con-
centrate their attack on Schroeder,
both today and on Monday when
the pairings will be reversed for the
last two singles matches.
A split in today's two singles bouts
would make the lone doubles contest
tomorrow an all-important key to
the situation.
The doubles pairings will not be
announced until the end of today's
play, but it Is almost foregone
conclusion that Alrick H. Man, nom
playing American captain, will pass
up Gardnar Mulloy and Frank Park
