Cardinals Win Two To Slash Brooklyn Lead New York, July 8 (UP) Five manager*, Including Steve O'Nelli, the Imiss of the American League M|uad. made it plain today that the pennant rare* are more vital to them than how well their Mar pitchers fare in tomorrow's allMar game at Boston. They pitched their acre In regular turn yesterday, Instead of reefing them until the mid-season classic between the National and American League team* at Fenway park. That means the five who worked. Hobby Feller of Cleveland, Hal Newllouser of Detroit and Spud Chandler of New York for the American League, and Howie Pollet of St Louie and Kirhy Higtre of Brooklyn for the National, will have only two day* of rest for their allstar chores, which Is about half the amount a pitcher usually requires. Pollet pitched a three-hIL 8 to 0 victory over Pittsburgn after the Card* won the opener. 4 to 8, running their winning streak to five game* and cutting Brooklyn's first place margin to five game* It was I'olh-t * eighth victory and line third shutout. The Card* gave him a 5 to 0 lead In the first two inning* Rookie catcher Joe Cara giola broke up the first game by hitting a ninth Inning single with the bascu loaded. Higbe was a loner at Boston, the Braves pouncing on him for a 8 to I victory with two tuns In the ninth. The Dodgers won the second game, 4 to 2. Barna Howell drove in the deciding first game run with a single after Connie Kyan's double had went home Tommy Holmes with the tying run. Joo Hatten, given two flret inning rumc on three walk* and two Boston error* protected the margin to score his fifth win, out pitching John Sain. The Giants replaced the Phils in •tilth place at New York, heating them 2 to 1 and 10 to 2 on effective pitching by Deve Koslo and rookie Monte Kennedy. Koslo. winning his fourth straight, got all the margin he needed on .Mickey Witte's two-run homer In the first.

— o Major All-Stars Io Battle On Tuesday Boston, July 8 — (ITP> - Tradition was In reverse today as major leaguers converged on baiH-bal! berserk Boston for tomorrow's annual all-star game. In past year s the National leagtiers bad the pitchers, but th? American league sluggers usually packed enough punch to offset their efficiency— at least thst is the way It happened In eight out of 12 years. This year, however. It Is the American leaguers who have the pitching aces and on the strength of the mound staff they are 3 to i favorites to win, notwithstanding the fact that the "dreamgame" has been & hnrlers' nightmare In the BML Aside from the American leagues admitted pitching edge, there San t a great deal of difference between the two squads. And that pitching margin may have been offset to some extent by the fact that the three hurlers named by manager Steve O'Neill to go for the American league, Bob Feller of Cleveland. Hal Newhouser of Detroit, and Rpud Chandler of New York, ail worked yesterday. Whether they can come back with peak efficiency against such •luggers as Dixie Walker of Brooklyn, Johnny Hopp of the Bravea Stan Musial of the Cardinals, and Johnny Mice of the Oiants with only a day of rest remains to be •een. Feller has worked on a set four days of rej; plan all season. ,*^ <W ** r * frequently plagued by arm trouble, and Chandlor. who is getting old as a pitch•f. can't be expected to operate as effectively as they do with normal amount of rest. Dr. Reginald Hsbor Fits, an American physician. Invented the word “appendicitis” In lIM. Until that time, people accel acute appendicitis, peritonitis append! eularis adhoesiva.
