BROOKLYN NINE DEFEATS CARDS IN TWIN BILL Dodgers Beat < ar d s Twice; Cubs Within Half Game Os Lead

Now York, July 13.- (U.PJ—I- 0 and behold, tho Brooklyn Dodger* havo started an inopportune winning streak right when it seemed that they surely were destined to create a new record —for games lost in one season. If Casey Stengel doesn't cull a halt to the way his daftiness boys are Baling up, he isn't going to have a chance of cracking the mark of 115 games lost in one year set by the Boston Hraves last year. The Dodgers have just won three consecutive games. • Jt isn't the little boys that the stengelmen are picking on, but the top notch clubs like the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. After keeping their string of defeats at Wrigley Field intact for eight games, the Dodgers whipped the Cubs last Saturday, then turned up in Sportsmans Park yesterday to administer a decisive twin licking to the Cardinals. As the Dodgers triumphed 6 to 3 and 11 to 4, they trimmed the Cards' National league to a half game over the Cubs. The Cubs gained a half game as a result of splitting a doubleheader with the New York Giants, latrry French scattered nine hits to the New Yorkers in winning the opener, 4 to 2. A seven-run burst in the second inning of the nightcap gave the Giants an 8 to 6 victory. The Boston Bees combined three singles and a series of Pittsburgh misplays in the 10th for four runs to break a deadlock and

Townsend, trail California, physician, refused point blank today to endorse William Lemke, North Dakota congressman, mt a third uarty candidate for president.

Townsend conferred for a half hour with Lemke at the Townsent national headquarters and appeared dissatisfied with the DakoI tan attitude toward his plan.

Today's Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) New York. July 13 <d.R> -Being nothing more than one man's humble "and when I say humble 1 don’t mean a word of it" opinion of the final Olympic track and field tryouts at Randall's Island: No. 1 Hard Luck Guy: Charley Beetham of Ohio State, a, really great runner, who lost his chance to make the team when he stumbled and fell over one Marmaduke Hobbs on the last lap of the 800meter run. Beetham, a powerful finisher, had just unleashed his "kick" to chase the leadens when he pitted into Hobbs who stumbled directly in his path. Beetham did not have a chance to avoid him. No. 1 Good Luck Guy: Tommy Deckard, Indiana youngster, who finished third in (he 5,000 meter and got himself a boat ticket largely because his teamma,te. the mighty Don Lash, was there to coach him. With a half mile to go laish was a country (dock out in from, and Deckard was floundering in the ruck. So Lash dropped back a.ud spent the rest of the journey along side Tommy, advising him and pouring encouragement in his ears. Top Moment: That split-second hush when lanky, lazy-looking Dave Albritton scissored over the high jump bat at 6 feet 9 and % inches to tie the world record established only five minutes before by another colored pair of humtui stilts. Cornelius Johnson. Cornelius w'as skill talking into a portable microphone, telling all the wTorld how he had just set a now world's mark, when Albritton took off. The radio boys yanked the mike from in front of John' soli's face and stuck it in Albritton's gripping map. Doubt Yonr Own Eyes Moment: When Harold Manning, the huma.n kangaroo, climaxed his recordsmashing triumph in the 3.000meter steeplechase with a finishing sprint which would have done credit to a 100-yard dash man. The boy’s stamina is unbelievable, for he had "warmed up" for this terrific finish by nearly two miles of hopping over high hurdles and a cruel water hazard. The sun overhead was a blast furnace. Greatest Show of Sheer Power: Johnny Woodruff in winning the

800-meter run. The big. black freshman from Pittsburgh has about a.s much form as a wind- , mill, but when he turns the gas on all the way he just naturally runs over the "picture" boys. Saddeot Sight: A three-way tie between George Varoff, world's champion, walking toward the dressing room after being shut out in thhe pole vault; Ben Eastman's fa/e, a study in weariness, as, hopelessly beaten, he came down the backstretcli on the last lap of the 800; and Bonnie Bonthron, legs wobbling beneath him, making a game but futile drive down the stretch in the 1500meter. Happiest Sight: Jack Torrance, all 300 pounds of hint, shaking with joy after his victory in the shot pot. Prettiest Sight: A toss up between Glenn Harden slicing over the 400-meter hurdles and Jesse Owens, under a full head of steam, rounding the turn in the 200-meter sprint Both offer a flawless picture of form and concentrated power. If they don't win four first places between them I'll swim back from Berlin, and under water. Gol-darndest Fillister: Forrest Towns, the Georgia, cracker who rules the 110-meter hurdles. Always buried in the pack at the halfway mark, he comes like a comet ait the finish to overcome hurdles and rivals with one and the same motion. They say his slow start is due to a fear of the first hurdle that he just can’t shake off. He takes it slowly and cautiously, and then sells out. The Standout Athlete: Jesse Owens the flier from Ohio with three first plaices — both sprints I and the broad jump.
