Even His Triple DOGGY

Toski. an extremely popular

from well-wishers and brought
to the press tent an hour or so

Iloes, ConIey Throw
Race Into Scramble;
White Sox Doomed
BY the Associated Press

The Dodgers glee over Dump
ing the Giants three In a row is
tempered by the knowledge that
the giddy Braves. on a nine-game
spree, show no signs Of running
out of firewater.
The Giants lead, once q bulg-
ing seven games, now measures
only a half game over the Dodg-
ers. The Braves are 3h games
off the pace, rushing down the
stretch like Native Dancer. If
the Dodgers beat Robin Roberts
and the Phillies tonight in the
only game scheduled they'll
trail New York by only two per-
centage points.
Brooklyn bumped OF New York

the three-game series while Mil
waukee squeaked past Chicago,
2-1. st. Louis barely survived
14-12. over Cincinnati when Gus
Bell. Ted Kluszewski and Jim
Greengrass hit successive homers
in the ninth inning. Pittsburgh
won It's fourth straight, 60, its
longest streak of the year, at
Philadelphia and rallied to tie
the second game at Sc in the
eighth when the curfew forced
suspension Of play.
Cleveland moved three full
games IN front of New York in
the American League race. The
Indians ran their winning streak
to six by downing Baltimore,
So and 81. The Yanks scored
eight in the first inning on the
way to 1919 decision over Bos-
ton. their seventh straight vic
tory.
White Sox Wrecked.
The White Sox practically were
eliminated by losing twice to De-
troit. 2-1 and 81, dropping 91a
games behind Cleveland. Johnny
Schmitz pitched Washington to
a Al victory over Philadelphia.
Perhaps the state Of the two
pennant races can best be shown
by a comparison Of the con-
tenders performances since the
All-Star break.
The reason for the Giants
precarious position is easily seen
by these figures, covering play
since the All-Star game.
