Senators Beal Detroit; Cubs Whip Dodgers New York, Aug. 16—(UP)—Failure of the St. Louis Cardinals to win consistently from teams that are pushovers for the rest of the league probably Will cost them their fourth straight pennant. Last night, for example, they had a fine opportunity to gain on the Cubs in a double header against the forlorn Phillies. All the Cards could manage to do was to split, j leaving them with a net loss of a half game against the Cube, who mauled the Dodgers at Brooklyn, 20 to 6. The 1915 Cardinal record furnishes baseball with one of its major oddities. Admittedly not up to the standard of other Red Bird teams, this one has done better than all right against the so-call-ed better clubs in the league, winn-

ing 43 and losing only 23 against the Cubs, Dodgers, Giants and Pirates. But against the three laggards, the Braves. Reds and Phils, they have won only 23 while losing 22, barely above the .500 mark. In contrast, the Cubs have only an even break against the Cards, Dodgers, Giants and Pirates with 26 win and 26 losses. But they have gone to town against the Braves, Reds and Phils with 44 victories and only 11 defeats, a percentage of exactly .800. If there is any hope for the I Cards, now six full games behind I the Cubs, it should be in the 121 games they have left with the lea-| gue leaders. St. Louis has won seven out of 10 games with the Cubs to date and might well overtake them if they maintain that pace. The Cards very shaky in losing the opener at Philadelphia, 8 to 5, yielding five runs in the fifth on just one hit. Rookie Glenn Gardner saved the night by pitching a three -hit. 7 to 0. shutout in the second game for his first big league triumph. The Cubs made 19 hits, including four homers, in their rout of the Dodgers. Paul Gillespie got two

New York, 11 to 9 and 3 to 2, to move within a game of the first division. They chased Bill Voiselle with six ■runs in the firet although the Giants tied it at 7-all in the seventh when Danny Gardella hit his second homer of the game. Mel Ott also got a Giant homer, but the margin wasn’t enough because pitcher Harry Feldman weakened i in the ninth to yield a walk and four hits for four runs. Tommy Holmes took over the major league home run lead, hitting two to make his total 20 as the Braves beat Cincinnati twice at ■ Boston, 10 to 5 and 13 to 3. Howepg were key blows in both games as Cincinnati's losing streak was extended to 13 games.

Many Star Athletes To Return To Sports Chicago, Aug. 16-(UP)— Many of the athleteis who are ready to make the coming decade another “golden era” were scheduled today for immediate discharge from the service. After World War I came the greatest decade in sports history. Hie “roaring twenties", brimming with the exploits of Babe Ruth, Man O'War, Red Grange, Bobby Jones, Jack Dempsey and Big Bill Tilden. And today, with some of the nation’s brightest pre-war stars prepared to doff their service uniforms, a new sporting era was dawning, one which may not match the “golden era” in individual glory but is certain to outdo it in all-around brilliance. The first big-name star to pocket his discharge orders since the sur-

render of Japan was Lt. Ben Hogan, the mighty Texas mite who will be mustered out of the AAF Sept. 5. Hundreds! of America’s other top athletes, many of them in the service for almost three years like Hogan, are expecting their discharge instructions momentarily. A tipoff on the approaching mass return to the playing fields are the 526 Major League baseball players now in the service. The national footl/all league lists an identical number in service garb, which alone to’als 1,052 men, not counting the hundreds of collegiate, amateur and other professional stars. Ted Williams, Joe Di Maggio, Bob Feller, Stan Musial, Johnny Vandermeer, Dick Wakefield, Pete Reiser, Johnny Beazley and Charley Keller are a few of the baseball greats who will pick up mitt and ball again. Di Maggio, Feller and Keller possibly may return to their clubs before the end of the '45 season according to the services’ point systems. There is little doubt 'that they will hit their strides again for such athletes as Hank Greenberg and Al Benton are servicemen who already have blazed a comeback trail for them to follow. There's George McAfee, rated the greatest running back the gridiron ever knew; Bill Daley, Norm Standlee, “Bullet Bill” Osmanski, Glenn Dobbs, Hugh Gallerneau, Sid Luckman and Pat Harder, all ready to don shoulder pade and cleats again. The ring will welcome back the “bomber”, heavyweight champ Joe Louis; Gus Lesnevich, Billy Conn and Tony Zale. Ed Oliver, Jimmy Demaret and Horton Smith are anxious to grasp a golf club again and glazed ice awaits such hockey stars as the “kraut line” of Bobby Bauer, Bill Schmitt and Woody Dumart, Goalie Sam Lopresti and New York’s Colville Brothers, Neil and Mac. Many of these men, while in service, said, “military life gives athletes a new keeness for competition" —an early prediction of coming performances. LEADING BATSMEN National League Player, Club G.
