Cards Defeat Cubs To Keep Flag Chance , Chicano, Sept. 27 (UP)-- The league leading Cuba, deafened by the noise of craahintt Cardinal bats. expectsd to find a cure for their "St. Loul Blues" ai Cincinnati today by sweeping a doubleheader from rhelr “cousin*, ’’ the Red* The Cuba, who set a new 1.-ain*-record thia year for winnittK "two-a-day games, have whipped th* Red* lit out of 20 Kame* title seaeon And a uweep of today’* twinbill would salve a lot of wound* and boia'er a shaken team. f The Cubs were glad to leave town after the II to S mauling they received from St. Louis yesterday, cutting their lead to one and a half games. But despite ’hat. the Cardinal* cause is a fading one. Provided the Cub lost two of their remaining five games, manager Billy Southworth’s scrappy new has to win all of its remaining four game*, starting with tonight’s tilt at Pittsburgh, to gain a tie. But whether they win or lose, let the lf*gs Cardinals be known as one of the grittiest teams of the many fighting clubs ’hat have worn the Cardinal Red. Riled by taunts from the Cub dugout, angered by jeers from the capacity crowd of 42,298 fans, the Cardinals exploded with all the fury nt the old "gash.mae gang" yesterday to climb right ba. k on the Cub,’ heels. The IMS edition of the “gashousers” know they’re a "thou-sand-to-one’’ shot to win their four’h consecutive championship. But no team ever me’ th«- challenge more eagerly. The league leaders could have piactically rung up the pennant on the Wrigley field flag pole yesterday with a victory, but the Card! ; | CORT ♦ ♦' — Las’ Time Tontgh- — "COWBOY A THE I ADV" ' Gary Cooper, Merle Oberon ALSO—Shorts 9c 30c inc.

That was the noise that deaf . ned the Cub* and gave the Cards their 18’h victory In 22 games with the league leaders. It wa< tho game clincher, although Cub manager Charley Grim announced that the remainder of the contest would be played under 8 protest. * The Culm knocked their old ne--1 mesls, Charley (Red) Barrett, out r of the game tn the third Inning to take a 3 to 2 lead.

Detroit Needs Only One Win To Cop Flag Detroit, Sept 27 — There j were a few new characters but the 1 script was the same today for the Detroit Tigers us at the Inst stage of the 1944 American !x*aguo race. Tin- last two days toll the tale. This time the setting Is In B’. Louis and the battered Bengal* have two day* of rest before the final act. They are a little better off In one respect they already have clinched a pennant tie and need only one more victory in their two remaining games with the Brownies to clinch the bunting un dlaputedly. But It looked like a cinch In 1944. too. They were a game a head of She Brownies and were finishing out with the luckl-s* Senators, whom they had beaten 15 out of IN times during the sea son. The Browns were arrayed In a four Kame set with the Yankees, perrenlal terrors of the league. So what happened? The Tigers got only an even split with the Sena-1 tors and lost out In the pennant scramble on the last day while Si. Imuls took four in a row from the Yankees in a "believe It or not finish.” Now the Tiger* are geared to see that it won’t happen again They have been almost as aUccessful this year against the third place Brownlee as they were a year ago with the last place Senato's with 14 wins In 20 tries to date They have those two big day* of rest before resuming play on Saturday when it I* highly possible that their "money pitcher" Hui NewhouSer, will be back or, the mound trying to win the "clinch-

Manager Steve O’Neill, knowing that two defeats will end th" race with the Tigers and the well j rested Senators In an exact tie.; can take no chance* on a playoff; game with Washington on Mon day. Neither team would be in top| condition for the serie* Wednes i day and O’Neill Is short of pitch-1 Ing strength. The Brown* will have their best pitching talent, probably Nelson Potter and Bob Muncrh-f ready to go against In-trolt. Potter beat them with a two-hit shutout last Sunday anti probably will start Saturday. There were few post-mortems on yesterday’* split with the Indians before 41.800 fans in the last two home games for the Tigers. Newbouser was the toast ot the town for hi* masterful, 11 to 0 shutout in which he struck out 10 batters to run his season's total to 203. tops for both leagues. The 3 to 2 loser of the second game, Alton Benton, hud no excus-

es. He had complained that hl* teammate* failed to back him up with fielding and hitting In recent games. Timely hitting had given him a 2 to 0 lead when hl* own fielding mi«cue, a failure to catch an easy toss from Rndy York on a first base covering play, got him in hot water in the *lxth. That put twi men abase and *et the stage for lx-s Fleming to hit a game-tying double, George Caster came on til yield a single to Pat Seerey which scored Fleming with the marginal run. (Hum, as he sat alone in the dressing room Benton aaid "I told the boy* I thought I could win this one.” The only other American League game, between the White Sox and Brown*, was cancelled by rain. Yesterday’ll Siai -- Hal New homer of the Tiger*, whose J1 t > 0 shutout over the Indians clinched at least a tie for the American League pennant. 35,000 Hoosiers Seek Wheat Crop Insurance Indianapolis, Hept. 26—(UP) — More than 35,006 H«ssler farmera have applied for federal Insurance for next summer's wheat crop, L. M. Vogler, Indiana chairman of the Agricultural Adjustment agency, announced today.
