Within three days the Cards have turned the .pennant race from a rout to a ding-dong battle. And as they pound along on a fivegame winning streak, they find the Giants staggering ahead of them under the most disastrous slump New’ York has suffered this year. The Giants dropped their third i In a row yesterday. Everything has happened to the Giants at the same time. They have hit less than .250 over the | past three weeks. Mel Ott, Bill i Terry and Joe Moore have struck I their worst batting slump Moore' pnd Ott getting only four hits be- 1 tween them the last three days.

Meanwhile St. Louis, behind • Dizzy Dean s five-hit pitching.' rang up the fifth straight, beating

DADE BELIEVES HIS MARK SAFE Babe R u t h Doubts If i Home Run Record Os 60 Will Be Topped i ■ St. Louis. Sept. 11 (U.R)— Bahn . | Ruth said today ho felt his home r run record of 60 in one season Is ■ fairly safe from the present crop I of sluggers. i “The man who breaks my record,” said Ruth, “must be able to I hit homers to any field, right, left or center, just as I did when I ! made my mark. He also must be . able to hit on the road as well , as at home. “I will admit that when 1 set my record I hit probably 45 hotn- . era to right field but the other 15 wore to center or left. What's more I hit only 29 at Yankee stadium, the other 31 being on , the road.” Ruth regards Jimmy Poxx. Athletics’ first baseman, as having the best chance among the present home run sluggers of tying his , record. "Poxx and Lou Gehrig," com ■ monted Ruth, “are the best home I run hitters in the American league I hut I would not bet on either to boat my mark. Foxx, possibly ■ has the better chance for he is younger than Gehrig, has more i years ahead of him and hits homers to all fields while lain rarely hits to any field other than right”. “Bob Johnson of the Athletics is known as a left field hitter although he occasionally hits one over the right field walls if a pitcher throws in his groove on the outside corner. Hal Trosky. Cleveland, another hoy making a ! lot of homers, is a dead right field I hitter. He is just a kid. however, i and may acquire the knack of hitting long drives to other fields, i “Another thing, the life of my record may depend upon the ball used in the major leagues. If they deaden it. the chances of any player making 60 homers or more are very slim.” LEADING BATTERS ; Player Club GAB R H Pct. I Gehrig. Yankee 136 522 119 191.366 P.Waner.

PARTY CHEERS MAINE RESULT from pagk - , nk> 3.000. Republican leaders would find small comfort in so narrow a margin of victory in one statewide contest when they have lost the other for the governorship. National politics and financial centers were alert to Maine's verdict. Wall street writers have been cautiously suggesting that a thumping antiadministration vote in the jump-off of this year's congressional elections would have a bullish influence on the counting houses. Although democratic statesmen are cheering Brann's victory, defeat for Hale would he sweeter. Brann and his aged republican opponent, Alfred K. Ames, did not mnke the new deal a primary
