Phillies Beat Dodgers, Cards Also Defeated New York. Aug. 17.—(UP)-lt *P I**r«l today that Jim Gallagher, aeneral manager of the Chicago Cuba, hollered wisely hut too loud ly last week when h>* stjuawked that eaatem National league team* appeared to go into a faint when they ««e the Urooklyn Dodger*. Gallagher's point was that the Cardinal* and Cuba trim the Dod getw, who thereupon gain back a fat lead by gobbling Boston, the Giant* and the Phil* all ut whom play well against the Card* and Cuba. Galagher particularly reproached the Phil*, who had been tipped over It times in a row by th« Dodger* at that time. The finger of acorn worked, be-i cauae the Phil* rose up the next day and trounced Brooklyn twice. Yesterday the Phlla. giddy with their new power, licked the Dodger* again, 4 to 2. anappmg a four- 1 game winning streak for Brookyn. But Gallagher, who still hope* i hi* Cab* can edge Into the pennant, couldn't enjoy the reaalt. The Cincinnati Red*, who u*ed to go into a faint at Might of the Cub*, heard hl* remark* and took them personally, and whipped Chicago, 3 to 2. Lefty O*car Judd gave the Phlla their victory, pitching a four-hit game and batting In a run in an eighth-inning rally. Vance Dlnge* Mingled and wa* nacrificed to second. A walk put two on and an Infield hit filled the base*. Emil Verhan'a grounder re«ulted In a forceout at home, but catcher Bruce Edward* threw the hall away trying for a doubleplay and a run came home to break a 2 to 2 tie. Judd then singled another run home. Hugh Casey, third Dodger hurler, wa* the loser. One game of the aciieduled dayand night Cardinal-Pirate aerie* wa* rained out. and at night Ken Helntzelman foiled the St. U>ul« effort to gain a game by Mopping the Card* on two hit*. 3 to u. The Dodger* still hold a two-game lead. Elbie Fletcher doublet! home two runs and scored the third after a triple la the eighth inning. The Red* got 13 hits to win An error, two infield hila, * bunt and a fly gave them the first two tallies, and Ben Zientara’* single and Ray .Mueller’* double provided the third run. Chicago got It* run* In the last of the ninth, chasing John Hetkl. Hi Bithorn was the loser. The Giant* and Brave* were rained out. The Boston Rod Sox virtually extinguished any Yankee pennant hope* by beating the xecond placer*. 4 to I, shoving New York 13 game* behind. Mickey Harris went the route to win, beating Spud Chandler. A Yank error led to the first Bosox run. and Hie next two scored on successive singles by John Pesky, Ted William*. Bobby Doerr and Rudy York, who batted in two run* for the day. Joe DiMagglo homered for New York, but had to leave the game with a
