Face Tougher Clubs;
Yankees Again ; Up
By Joe ReiehIer

Eddie Dyer's st. Louis Cardinals
never were better off than they
are right now. Not only are they
leading the Brooklyn Dodgers by
two full games, but the remaining
schedule is all in their favor.
The Cards have q games left
to play and 18 of them are at
home. On the other hand. the
second place Brooks must play II
of their remaining q games on
foreign fields.
Furthermore, 13 Of the Cards
games are against the seventh
and eighth place Cincinnati and
Chicago clubs. They've already
won 81 out of 81 from these base
ment bargains.
The Brooks have 13 to play
with the third and fourth place
Boston and New York teams.
They've played under 500 ball
against these first divisioners.
In the American League, it is
likely the seven games between
the league-leading New York
Yankees and runnerup Boston
Red Sox will settle the issue. The
Red Sox trail the Yankees by
three games.
Boston plays IA Of its remain
ing Is games at home, but the
Yankees play % of their 20 games
at friendly Yankee Stadium.
Dodgers Drop Nightcap.
Both runners-up lost ground
yesterday. The Dodgers got off
on the right foot, outscoring
Cincinnati. 11-8, in the afternoon
portion of a day-night double
header 1.-TWO admissions, if you
please). The Reds bounced back,
however. to upset the Brooks, 4-3,
in the 10-inning nightcap. At the
same time, the Cards were knock
ing off the Phillies in Philadelphia
to pick up half length on the
Brooks.
The Rad Sox led with their ace
30 game winner Mel Parnell-
but they were trumped by the
Detroit Tigers. who shut them
out, TO. behind the seven-hit
pitching of Art Houtteman.
The Yankees came through with
their patented "squeaker,"
wobbly 4-3 victory over the Browns
in st. Louis. .a
The Cleveland Indians. baseball
marathon champs, won another
overtime tussles edging out the
Philadelphia Athletics. 2-1, in II
innings. It was the Indians 18th
straight overtime victory.
The third place Boston Braves
in the National whipped the Chi
cago Cubs. 8-4.
Home Run Party.
Despite Ralph Kiner's grand
slam homer for Pittsburgh. the
New York Giants defeated the
Pirates, 9-5. on round trippers by
Hank thompson, bopDy 1loIIlSoIl
and Billy Rigney.
Burt Shotton, the usually mild
hammered manager of the
Dodgers, was chased out of ball
game for the first time in three
seasons with the club. He got the
thumb from Umpire Art Gore for
protesting a ball and strike deci-
sion in the ninth inning Of the
opener. The Reds got four runs
and had the tying runs on the
bases in that frame, but Ralph
Branca, fifth Dodger chucker, re-
tired Walker Cooper for the thirc
out.
Herm Wehmeier stopped the
Dodgers five-game winning streak
in the nightcap. He gave up eight
hits for his ninth win. A triple

Ted Kluszewski's double won fol
the Reds in the 10th.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y. Sept.
2-"This is a wide open tourna-
ment," said top-seeded Ted
Schroeder as he awaited the call
today for his third round match
in the National tennis champion
ships.
THE way I look at it, any one OF
seven or eight players could win
the championship. It's just like
it was at Wimbledon this year"
The man who walked off with
the British tourney pointed out
that all four quarterfnal matches
went five sets. And I wouldn't
be a bit surprised if the same thing
happens here"
AS an example, Schroeder point
ed to the way young Art Larsen

dro, Calf, came from behind to
dump John Bromwich, Australian
Davis Cup captain, 3-6. 10,

yesterday.
That landed Larsen in the quar-
terminals along with Defending
Champion Pancho Gonzales OF

Gonzales Beats Brink.
Gonzales, seeded second, reached
the round of eight by stopping Jim
Brink, the long Seattle southpaw,
Ga, Ga, Ga. The fourth
seeded Mulloy took out little Fell
cisimo Ampon of the Philippines,
6-3, 60, Go, in the only other
third-round match to date.
Schroeder, from La Crescenta,
Calf, was to make his bid for a
quarterfinal berth today against

Warden Urges Hunters
To Prevent Fires During
Hunting Season

The hunting season for all
game opens Nov. 81. Experience
has shown that the period be-
tween Nov. 10th and Dec. 18th is
usually the most hazardous of the
fall months so far as danger Of
forest fires is concerned. CHIEF
forest warden J. w. Rose asks
that all good sportsmen take ev-
cry possible precaution to pre-
vent forest fires from starting. II
is hoped that every hunter this
year will also be a good sports.
man.
Smokers cause more forest fires
than any other one class of peo-
pie. Those who smoke should be
sure their match is dead out be-
fore throwing it away. They
should hold it in their hand until
it is cool enough to break into.
They should dispose of all cigar
cite butts and pipe heels in water
or bury them in dirt less they
shoulder on dry wood or leaves
and cause a forest fire.
Virginia law requires that be-
fore any campfire is left un-at-
tended it must be completely ex-
tinguished. Good sportsmen clear
a space around their campfire be
fore it is built and after it has
served its purpose they put 1t
out with water, making sure that
no spark remains.

How Sick Must You
Be to Collect Total
Disability" insurance?

A doctor had an insurance policy
paying him certain amount Of
money in case of 'total disability"
One day he hurt his hip in an auto
accident, and had to spend six
weeks flat on his back. During that
period, he had few patients come
to his house for minor attention
and occasionally even handed them
medicines from bag by his bed
side. When he later demanded his
insurance money, the company re-
fused to pay on the ground that he
had not been totally disabled. I"
The doctor thereupon sued-and col
lected. The judge ruled that a per-
son doesn't have to be 100 per cent
helpless to be considered totally dis
abled.
A man checked his suitcase at a
depot parcel room, receiving for
it a numbered claim ticket. He
didn't bother to read the ticket
and so didn't see the clause that,
in case of loss. the check room
company was not liable for more
than $40 Sure enough, the suit
case vanished. When the man sued
for $200-the value of the contents
the company pointed to the $40
limitation clause on the ticket. But
the court ruled that the man was
entitled to full reimbursement for
his loss.
