They had won 2l» and lout only nine and they had risen to a position of respectability In Ute National league, going into a middle class fifth place tenancy after vacating their basement home. But the Dodgers, who have a spatial magic touch whenever the Phils are around, beat them for the ninth straight Hine this season, Il to 6. starting off with a sii run first inning. last night’s 15-hlt victory was Brooklyn’s ninth straight. Ed Steven* and Cookie laivagetto with three bits apiece paced the attack. Bookie* Hank fh-hrman went all the way for his fourth victory. The Cardinal* dropped six and a half games behind when exteam mate Harry Humbert of the lied* beat them. 5 to 4. in B inning* at Hi. Ixmis for hi* second relief victory In a* many days. The shoe was on the other fool for Cardinal Al Braxle, who lost hl* recond game In two days. He filled the bases on Al Llbke's single, a forc*-out. Bert Haas' two base hit and an Intentional pass to Bob Usher, and Ray !<amanno's long fly scored the winning run. Harry Walker of the Cards and Al Lihke of Cincinnati hit homer*. Tritett ißipl Sewell crossed up critics who said he didn’t belong on the National league team by pitching Pittsburgh to a fourhlt. 1 to 0 victory al Chicago. It was his top Job of the year after a stretch of mediocrity. Hilly Cox tripled off Hank Wyse in the second and came home on lam Htringer's error for the Pirate run.

Both aircraft were so radioactive when they landed after their dangerous flight that it wan thought at first it might be necessary to destroy them.

The airplanes left Kwajalein at 8:30 o'clock la« night on a drama tic assignment to find the atomic storm cloud la the mid Pacific darkness. They were to fly through It to collect samples in preclpltrons carried by each plane. One B-29 was commanded by Maj. Claude R. Eatheriy, 27. Van Alslyne, Tex. The eecond plane was commanded by Maj. Allan 11. Howlett, 31, Chula, Va. The preclpltrons carried by each superfortress were newly-contrived devices for taking In sample* of air in flight and retaining hy precipitation all radioactive particles. The hunt for the black cloud 200 miles away on a moonlesa night necessarily depended on flying by instruments.
