Higbe Tosses 1-0 Shutout For Brooklyn New York. Aug. JO — <t’P> — Pete Reiser, Peewee Reese and Dixie Welker, one-third of the Brooklyn Dodger team on paper and nine-tenth* of it on the field, appeared capable today of making thia peculiar mathematical formula equal a National league pennant. The Dodgers, who theoretically have no business arguing with the St. Ixjulu Cardinal*, are two game* on top today because in almost every game either Reiser. Walker or Reese has come through with a timely hit or sparkling fielding play. !a»st night It was Reiser and Reese who provided the punch, with an assist from pitcher Kirby Higbe. Higbe twirled a fivehit shutout over the Phillies, and Reese's double and Reiser's single In the eighth Inning scored rhe only run of the game. It was the Dodgers' 11th 194*1 victory over the Phils against no losses. The Cardinals grimly held on In second place by beating the Cincinnati Reds, 5 to 2. with a 16 hit attack that included Joe C.aragiola's first big-league homer and Whitey Kurowski's 12th of the season. Kurowski got four hits end hatted In three runs. Lennv Merullo got three doubles and a single as the Chicago Cubs, still hopeful of sneaking Into the pennant, trounced Pittsburgh. 9 to 3. The Cuhs got IS bit* to allow Paul Erickson to coast to victory. Warren Spahn outpltched three New York Olant hurlers to give the Boston Braves a & to 3 victory, although New York out hit Boston, seven to five. The Braves hunched three hits in the first Inning with an error, a walk, a sacrifice and a long fly for three runs, and their other two hits came in a two-run fifth Inning Rid Gordon led New York with three hits. Including a home run. The Yankees’ slim hopes for a miracle vanished into the left field seats in the sixth inning last night along with a three-run homer by Rudy York that carried the Boston Red Box to a 4 to 3 victory. Boston now leads by 14 games. Detroit, shooting for second place ahead of the lank*, moved within one game of New York hy edging the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 4. Detroit called on Hal Newhouser in the ninth when Al Ben

Tough Problems Face New Baseball Czar Cincinnati, O„ Aug. 10- (UP) — Baseball commissioner A. B (Happy I (’handler, who became unl>ellevely uncommunicative after his first few official utterances got him Into trouble, worked at his home today on at least three problems on which he soon must tnlke public and controversial ruling*. It was an unenviable spot for the (ormer Kentucky senator -but most baseball observers felt that the making of such controversial rulings was what Chandler is being paid |50.000 a year for. Most Important problem Is that of Mickey Owen, pre war Brooklyn Dodger catcher who went to the Mexican league this year as soon as he came out of service and now wants to re-join the Dodgers. As soon as the Mexican league raids became serious last spring. Chandler announced that all American players who were in Mexico at the start of the season would be suspended from organised baseball for five years. Owen's name led the list of those suspended. The commissioner also will have to make a public statement on hi* views on intermingling horse-rac-ing and baseball. John W. Galbreath of Columbus, O„ one of the owners of the Pittsburgh Pirates, also owns the Darby Dan racing stables. The third problem on which Chandler may reasonably he expected to have an official opinion Is the American baseball guild, which has won the right to have a bargaining election among Pittsburgh Pirates players Aug. 2<>.
