CARDS SENT
 DOWN HARD BY BROOKS
By RALPH RIDDEN

Bench strength,v that's one of the reasons Burt Shotton's ferocious gentlemen lead the National League today.
 Second stringers enjoyed field day at the expense of the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday as the Dodgers took a doubleheader, 6-5 and 6-l, to increase their lead to game and a half over the run ner-up Boston Braves.
 Trailing, 5-2, going into the ninth inning of the first game before 33,508 fans, the reserves swung in to action and sparked four-run rally that enabled the Brooks to win.
 Gene Hermanski singled and Duke Snider doubled to start the ,Dodger ninth. Pete Reiser came eff the bench to sock a two-run double and rout starter Murry Dickson.
 Finally, George Shuba's single broke up the game.
 The setbacks dumped the Cards into fourth place, two percentage points behind the Pittsburgh Pir- ates who moved into third as a result of their 2-1 triumph over the Boston Braves in a night game at Pittsburgh.
 Dixie Walker drove in both Pittsburgh runs when he clouted his second homer of the season with Danny Murtaugh on base in the first inning
 Only three and half games also separate the top four teams in the American Leagues pennant chase.
 The runner-up New York Yankees moved to within game of Bos- tons pace-setting Boston Red SoX, who were idle yesterday, by beat ing the Detroit Tigers, 80, in a night game at the Yankee Stadium.
 Frank Shea stopped the Tigers on one hit-pitcher Hal Newhous- CTS third inning single-in pitch ing the best game of his two- year major league career.
 Cleveland third place Indians pulled to within a game and a half of the Red Sox as Satchel Paige pitched the Tribe to l0-l seven-hit victory over the Senators in night game at Washington
 Paige now has won six games as against one loss.
 At Philadelphia, the last place Chicago White Sox scored five runs in the ninth inning with two out to upset the fourth place Athletics, g to 6.

 But this, apparently, is the year the Hollywood second sacker just turned manager really found him. self.
 The boyish but 3l-year-old Stringer pulled his club out of an eight-game losing tailspin by club ping a homer, double and two singles last night to pace the Stars to a double win over Seattle, 80 and "A. They were Stringer's first victories as a pilot.
 The blows lifted Stringer's bat ting mark to .335 and tied him with Seattle's Hills Layne for the lea que leadership in hits. 193.
 Stringer's homer assured Rugger Ardizoia of the first game win over Dick Barrett. Ardizoia check ed the Studs with five hits in his Seven-inning shutout.
 Gus Zernial, Jim Gladd and Stringer each bashed three hits in the 15-blow nightcap assault.
 Full activity around the circuit resumes tonight, with Portlands series with league leading San Francisco holding top interest.
 All series will run nine games through doubleheaders next Mon- day, Labor Day.

In the case of Marshall, the
question is whether the President
might try to talk him into staying
on. A soldier who took the Cabi-
net Job because he thought it was
duty call, there was never any
expectation among the Presidents
inner circle that Marshall would
take the campaign trail in Mr.. Tru-
mans behalf.
Gains In States
Along with their big victory in
the White House and Congress-
ional contests, the Democrats made
many gains in state and local
offices.
They captured the Governorships
from Republicans in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware,
Indiana and Montana. The Re-
publicans overturned the Demo-
cratic administration in Utah.
Before the election, the 48 states
were split evenly in state house
administrations-24 Republican and
"a Democratic.
The shifts indicated the Demo-
Gratis would now have 80 and the
Republicans l8-barring some upset
in still undecided races
Mr.. Truman topped every kind
of odds to hold onto his job as
President.
Licked Dewey, Close Race
He licked Dewey in the closest
Presidential race in 80 years and
in an as amazing an upset as the
American public ever helped en-
gineer.
He stays on at the White House
for his first full four-year term
despite the loss of the fat electoral
votes of New York and Pennsyl-
vania-and despite the desertion
Of Alabama, South Carolina, Miss
issippi and probably Louisiana to
the States Rights cause.
He keeps intact as a going con-
Germ a Democratic party that can
shrug of Henry A. Wallace's Pro-
gressives and probably can ignore
civil rights revolters If it can't
bring them to heel.

Pfeffer and Clayton had left An

duck Saturday for Yakutat where
they intended to store their plane
for the winter. They flew over the
scene of the Skarstone wreck, %
miles west of Yakataga. In landing
at the scene of the wreck, their
planes wheel was caught in a soft
spot and they were unable to take
off again.
Sunday they wired the CAA in
Anchorage, asking that food and
equipment be dropped SO they could
release the plane. Monday the plane
and aviators were caught in the
storm, one of the worst of the
year, over the gulf Attempts to res
cue the plane we're unavailing and
Tuesday they called CAA again,
asked that they be picked up; their
ship was wrecked and they were
abandoning it.
Pfeffer and Clayton were flown
from the scene of their wreck TO
Yakutat by Pilot Calvin Ward, who
operates the Capital City Flying
Club in Yakutat.
Aboard their CAA DC-3, Jefford

steel and other equipment to Ju-
neau for the CAA.
While in town Jefford visited

employer to discriminate because
Of race or religious belief when
he hires a workman.
For Mr.. Truman, the win was
a tremendous personal achieve
ment. With a fighting campaign
the man from Missouri reused his
party from dependency and led
it to a victory which almost all
its leaders except the President
himself had written off months
ago as an impossibility.
Bitter End of Dream
For Dewey and the team"
around him, it was the bitter end
of a l0-year dream. The New
York Governor has been aiming
at and working for the presidency
that long.
He broke precedent when he
captured the Republican nomina-
tioi. this year after losing race
against Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1913. He can hold no hope that
his party will entrust its banner to
him again.
Hits Stock Market
In Wall Street, which had an
ticipated a Republican victory, the
initial reaction to the election S
outcome was break in prices
of many stocks. Utility stock
prices especially fell
Presumably, . the selling was die
tated chiefly by uncertainty over
what new laws affecting business
may be enacted by the new Demo-
cratic administration. President
Truman opposed cuts in personal
income taxes voted by the Repub-
lican Both Congress. When he call
ed Congress into special session
last summer he asked for revival
CT the wartime tax on excess pro-
fits" of corporations.
Foreign Policy
For the rest of the world, the
outcome meant double assurance
that there would be no shift in
American foreign policy. The
present policy has been called BIZ
partisan, but some edginess has
been evidenced in Europe over the
widely held prediction expectation
that change in political admin
istrations was coming.
In Washington, speculation al
ready is running high that Mr.
Truman now will make many shifts
in his own administration.
This is based on the view that
he got little help in his campaign
from many Democratic office-hold-
ers who had looked on it as a lost
cause. Among the Cabinet mem
hers, Mr.. Humans chief campaign
help came from Secretary of Labor
Maurice Tobin and Secretary of
Agriculture Charles Brannan.
High Officials To Go
The dopesters figure these two
will surely stay on, but are in
clined to list many other high
officials as doubtful of continu-
ing as members of the admins
tration family.
Close associates of Secretary of
State Marshall said in Paris he
definitely plans to leave that post
in January, and Undersecretary of
State Robert A. Lovett is also re-
ported to be planning to leave.
