Dodger Rookie Pitcher Beats Cards, 6 To 4 New York, May 10.—(UP)-The spirit toas there all right. They played with that eanie characteristic Cardinal "holler and hustle" that sparked them to three straight pennants. But something else a lot more Important was missing. The world champions from St. Jxntis were only a faint facsimile of the 1944 crew that won the National league pennant by 14'/i games. And there was small wonder at that. In the lineup that took a 6 to 4 beating from the Dodgers at Brooklyn yesterday, there were only four 1944 regulars, infielders Emil Verban, George Kurowski, and Ray Sanders and outfielder Johnny Hopp. There should be some improvement when the incomparable Martin Marion returns to shortstop and utility man Al Schoendienst, hailed as one of the year’s best rookies should help, too. Both are out with injuries. But beyond them it appeara that the Cards will have to sink or swim with what they have now. At shortstop, third string George Fallon, who works behind Marion and Schoendienst, kept first baseman 'Sanders reaching high and wide for his throws. Rookie catcher Del Rice, spelling Ken O’Dean, who moved up to first string when Walker Cooper was inducted, let the Dodgers work a squeeze play for a run, failed to back up first another time, and appeared a little unsteady in handling pitcher Har.y Brecheen. Right fielder Angie Bargame, playing the sun field without glasses, let an easy pop-fly drop iu frond of him for a single that started a four run Dodger rally. Elvitt (Buster) Adams, playing his first day as a Cardinal after moving over from the Phillies, over-charg-ed a single and it went for three bases, two runs coming home. , In what started out as a duel of lefties, Brecheen had the better of rookie. Vic Lombardi until that bad inning, the sixth, during which he was replaced by Eldred (Byd) Byerly. The 22-year-old Lombardi went the route for his second win. The Detroit Tigers met their ■ **

first test against the visiting New York Yankees, one of the clubs expected to give them trouble, when Pam (Dizzy) Trout gained a 4 to 1 seven-hit victory. It was his fourth triumph of the season and the eighth time in a row he has beaten the Yankees since Aug. 25, 1943. Rudy York's two doubles and a single paced the Tiger attack. Lefty Thornton Lee, who won only three games all season, picked up his third 1914 triumph for the White Sox, boating the Athletics at Chicago, tl to 4. Olid Hockett batted in two Tuns on two hits to lead the 10-hit Chicago attack. Pinch hitter Paul O'Dea’s single gave the Indians a 2 to 1 victory in the ninth over the Boston Red Sox at Cleveland. Allie Reynolds shaded Jim Wilson in a duel for his second victory, a six-hitter. The Pittsburgh Pirates opened their road trip with a 9 to 5 victory over the Boston Braves, getting 13 hits off four pitchers. Johnny Barrett of the Pirates and Chuck Workman of the Braves hit homers. El win (Preacher) Roe, with relief help from Xavier Rescigno, was the winning pitcher. The Phillies snapped Paul Derringer’s four-game winning streak, topping the Chicago Cubs, 5 so 2, at Philadelphia, to end a six-game losing streak of their own. Bill Lee held hie Old team mates to five hits for his first victory. Vince DiMaggio got a two-run homer for the Phils. Manager Mel Olt led 'the Giants to a 6 to 1 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Reds, hitting his 494th homer to tie the late Lou Gehrig of the Yankees for third place in 'the all-time’ major league homer records. George Hausmann also homered for the league leaders in helping Harry Feldman to his fourth victory. Washington at St. Louie in the American was rained out. Yesterday’s star: Rookie Vic Lombardi, 22-year-old Dodger lefty, who beat the world champion Cardinals, 6 to 4, for his second big league victory. o —•—■

Seven Fox Pups Are Killed Wednesday Seven red fox pups were killed by a quartet of men on the Dr. G. J. Kohne farm in St. Mary's township yesterday. The carnivora were exhibited here this morning as the men filed a bill for the $1.50 bounty cn each with the county auditor. The men who captured the foxes were Kenneth Mitchell, Verlin Geyer, Robert Bailey and Roy Wable. They saw tne monthold pups frollicking in a field and Mr. Mitchell went to his farm home and got a shot gun. He bagged two of the pups. The other five scrammed for the den, which the farmers said was an abandoned groundhog hole.

charge. Sort of Ironical, after all of young Riley’s experiences, but M-G-M, under the California law, must see to it that the 16-year-old hero goes to school for half of each j day. The doctors have cracked down on Andy Devine and he has lost 25 pounds in 10 days on terrific dietonly 800 calories a day. But don’t try this except on a physician’s advice. They are watching Andy like • hawk to see that the starving doesn’t do him injury. Case of the late Laird Cregar has all of movietown’s would-be weight losers on the alert to see that they don’t overdo their diets. World’s most valuable piece of celluloid to Ingrid Bergman is a reel of 16-millimeter film shot by her father, who used to run a camera shop in Sweden. It shows Ingrid, at the age of one year, with her mother, who died soon after the star’s birth. Bob Armstrong, now In P. R. C.’s “Arson Squad,” hears that his cousin, Paul Armstrong, Jr., son of the famous playwright, is in Odessa after having been rescued by the Russians from a German prison camp. Hollywood knew Paul well. He was a messenger boy at M-G-M and he studied acting at the Pasadena Community Playhouse. When the American armed forces turned him down because of his eyesight, he enlisted in a Canadian tank corps, and was captured in the raid on Dieppe.

The men poured three buckets of water into the den and out came the varnivorous little fellows and bang went the shot gun. The foxes fell in their tracks, just like the Japs who venture out of their volcanic dug-outs on Okinawa. The men chased the mother fox, but she was a little too cunning and fleet of foot to fall into the lair or come within gun shot distance. A hunt for the adult foxes will be undertaken today, the men said. Foxes are an enemy to poultry and other stock on the farms. That is the reason the state pays a bounty of $6 for each adult fox and $1.50 for'tire pups. —oHOME RUNS Lombardi. Giants 5 Ott, Giants'. 5 Weintraub, Giants 4
