Cards Defeat Chicago Cubs Third In Row New York. Aug. 27 — H I') There was more than a remote possibility today that “meet me i i si LotiD" will he the theme pong for the 1945 world series. For their forlorn fans who have given up early season high hopes that, the Cardinals and Browns would meet in another one-park classic it is well to consider the following: 1. Currently they are the hottest duh, in their leagues. The Cards, riding a nix game victory streak, the last three over the leading (•ills, have won IS out of 24 games. The Browns, climaxing a four gome streak wit it a Sunday double header victory over the White Sox, have won 18 out of 23. 2. Pitching, key department in a stretch drive, is brilliant on both teams. The Cards have held the leading National League batters, the Cubs, to two runs in three game-. Rookie Ken Burkhardt, a 15-gante winner, completed a string of 34 .scoreless innings before the Cubs finally ended it. Ted Wilks and Sylvester Donnelly of the Cards have recovered from arm ailments and will lie ready to pitch when the team returns home. For the Browns, Al Hollingsworth, .strictly a liability last season, and Nelson Potter, a diiappointment this year until recent weeks, each have won five straight games. 3. Both have reputations for gameness in the stretch. In five out of eight years the Cainfe have won the pennant they have done it late in the season. The Browns put on a fine stretch drive last summer to beat the Tigers, winning their only pennant on the last day. The Browns gained two full games yesterday, beating the White Sox at St. Louts 3 to 2 in 10 innings behind Bob Muncriet and 4 to 1 with Potter pitching. The victories, coupled with double defeats of the Tigers and Senators, left St. Louis four Ad a half games off tlie pace. Gene Moore broke up the extra-inning game with a homer. The Cards moved within two and | a half games of the Cubs, winning I a single game at Chicago, 5 to 1 i as Charley (Red) Barrett won his ■ 19th game. .Jupt a week ago to-1 day the Cube led by seven and a ; half games. Dewey Williams got the only Chicago run, a homer. Cleveland upset Detroit twice, winning the prize game 3 to 1 on three unearned runs as Allie Reynolds edged Paul (Dizzy) Trout. Steve Gromck scored the winning run after singling in the ninth to break up the .second game, 5 to 4, i for his 16th pitching victory. His I run countered a three run homer | by Rudy York in the Tiger ninth. The Yankees made it four in a row over Washington at New York. 3 to 2 and 7 to 1. Catcher Hike Garhark drove in all the runs for Charley Ruffing who won his fifth game in the opener. Rookie Alan

Gettel won the second game. Dave Ferrins won his 20th game for the Red Sox, beating the athletics at Boston, 4 to 3 with u 10th Inning double which scored the winning run. Rookie Ty LaForest had tied up the game with a homer in the ninth. The Red Sox also won the second game, 4 to 3. Pittsburgh beat the visiting Reds 10 to 7 and 2 to 1. A seven run second inning sparked by Jim Russell’s three-run homer clinched the opener in which Bill Salkeld ateo ‘ homered. Rookie Ken Gables beat ’ veteran Joe Bowman, Russell sing* ' ling in Oho winning run in the second game. The Bravep and Phils split at Philadelphia. Two run homers by : Tommy Holmes and Phil Masi gave Boston a 0 to 5 win ovei Hugh Mulcahy, making hie first start since leaving the army, but the Phils took the second, 4 to 3. Pitcher Dick Barrett batted in two runs, but needed three scoreless Innings of relief help from Anton Karl to win. The Giants salvaged one game of a set of four with the dodgers, winning 6 to 2 at Brooklyn. Billy Jurges made three hits and drove in three runs to hack up Jack Brewer's win over Ralph Branca in a duel of Rookies. Yesterday's star —Rookie Ty Laforest, who paced the Red Sox to a double victory over the Athletics with two homers, a double and two singles, driving in three runs. Brewers Increase Association Lead The Milwaukee Brewers, last year's pennant winners, increased their lead to three full games in the American association standings today after taking both ends of a doubleheader with the seconddivision Kansas City Blues. The Brewers won, 7 to 3 and 6 to 3, from the Blues, while the second place Indianapolis Indians were taking a drubbing from the Louisville club. Relief pitcher Bill Davis won his 13th victory for Milwaukee in the opener, taking over in the second inning after Ben Cardoni had allowed three runs. Floyd Speer went the route for the Brewers in the secoud. The Indians put four different pitchers on the mound in the first ' game at Louisville but weae tin-1 i able to break the Colonel's scoring. The score was 8 to 6. In the seveninning second contest, James WaiI lace held Louisville to five hits but his teammates were unable to score, and the verdict was 2 to 0, in Louisville's favor. At St. Paul, the Saints and their Twin City rivals, the Minneapolis Millers, broke even. The Millers took the first, 2 to 0, behind the , three-hit pitching of Hal Swanson. The Saints evened the record | in the nightcap, however, with a narrow 7 to 6 Win. Last place Columbus tumbled deeper into the cellar after coming out on the short end of a double bill with the Toledo Mudhens. TaI ledo brought in five runs, despite the equal number of errors in the first game, for a 5 to 3 win, and allowed the Redbirds a single run in the second, which they won. 10 to 1. — oLEADING BATSMEN National League Player, Club G.

Famous Athlete Io i Be Rally Speaker Gil Dodds, known as one of the > outstanding athletes of all time • and holder of .the world indoor i mile record of 4:06.4 minutes, will > speak at the First Mennonite t Church at Berne Friday, Sept. 7, • in an interdenominational youth i rally sponsored by the Youth for Christ organization. The rally is i scheduled to start promptly at 8:00 i p.m. and is open to the public. There is no admission charge. Dodds has become known throughout the world for his great track accomplishments along with his being a follower of Jesus Christ. He set his world record in the Chicago Stadium on March 18, 1944, after breaking it the first time the week before in Mdaison Square Garden in New York. No one has come within four seconds of that mark since that time. Dodds also was adjudged Hie outstanding amateur athlete of 1943 when he was awarded the famous Sullivan award, given annually to the amateur athlete who by his conduct and action in his sport has done the most to further the cause of sportsmanship and clean athletics. He retired from the track last January at what is believed to be the peak of his career. His coach, famous Jack Ryder of Boston, told Gil at that time that he still had his greatest races in him. Doods retired to go on tlie road and preach the gospel in all parts of the land. Since that time he has been travelling constantly across the United States and Canada in bringing his testimony of howprayer brought him his records and what the power of Jesus Christ can do in his life. Only 27 years of age. Dodds has been running for 15 years since he started chasing jack rabbits in Nebraska. He didn’t run for quite a while when a lad because people had told him 'he couldn't be a Christian and an athlete at the same time. If ever any athlete has disproved that false theory it has been Gil Dodds. Dodds joined the staff of Youth for Christ International in August.

It is a great mistake not to make allowances for the weakness of

preparations for an impending in- i ternational meet. Lindsay and your reporter were 1 taking a walk to Berlin’s huge con- t crete Olympic stadium where the t 1936 Olympic games were held to i compare the big bowl with the way it looked then. From within, surprisingly, came cheers and outside approaching the entrance were long lines of green British Lorries. Inside a British track meet was progressing ' which was unexpected since noth- ! ing had been scheduled. ‘‘These British certainly are fast ' workers,’’ Hayward said. “They have fixed up the track swell and it looks now as if they really are concentrating on beating the United States, France, and Russia ;n the big track meet to be held in the stadium in mid-Sep.tember." Lindsay watched crack British relay teams in the 440-yard event and his- moustache twiched with satisfaction. “They are running awkwardly and are passing the baton wrong, ’ he said. He also pointed out that they were running in spikeless sneakers, the kind usually used for tennis. Confining his espionage to a distance he didn’t ask why or whether that pedal attire would he
