Cards, Dodgers Both Beaten In Pennant Drive

St Louin. Sept. 26 — (VP) — With only three game* to go In a driving finish for the National League flag, the Cardinal* today hold a dim margin of one gamiover the Brooklyn Dodger*. And It’* chiefly because they can't beat the Keil* conalatently In the Cardinal ball park. The Redbird* — who hold a 14 to I edge over the Red* in the •eaaon'a play — have dropped six of their advene decisions In Sportsman's park. last night the odd jinx reasserted itself a* Bucky Walters shackled the Cardinal hitters and •but them out. 6-0. on seven hit*. Waiters, and the devastating and dismal batting slump of the whole team, forced the Birds to pas* up a golden opportunity to extend their lead to a commanding two games Brilliant pitching — the only factor that has kept the Cardinal* out in front since their hit famine began — was conspicuously missing last night. Ths Reds hopped all over starting pitcher Murry Dickson in the fourth Inning to stake Walters to a three-run lead that was more than he needed Ray Mueller’s single. Eddie Lukon’s triple, singles by Bob Adams and Bert Haas and Buck’s aqueeze bunt powered the runs across and the Cardinal* couldn't supply a convincing threat the •cat of the way. Only In the ninth Inning could the Cardinals get more than one hit to an inning. Them Terry Moore’s single and Joe Garagiola'a double came after two were out, and the Reds had coppered the contest with an entirely superfluous threerun outburst In their half of the final Inning. A walk to Eddie Lukon, Adams’ sacrifice, Haas' single and Clay's double chased Alpha Brazle and hr-m-ht In the Cardinal's fourth ttcher. Ted Wilks. Claude Corbitt’s single off him brought In the fit al Red* run. For the 22.567 fans who came out expecting to see the Cardinal* gain an almost Insurmounting advantage in the race It wa* a dreary evening. Macy of them were equipped with cowbell and noise makers but the stillness of the Cardinal bats kept them quiet. Toward the end of the contest, they cheered t*’e Red*.

New York Hept. 26 — (VP) — Brooklyn, plunged into deep despair by yesterday's 11 to 9 los* to the Phil*, was back in a deter mined, near-cocky mood today. Its spirit* restored by Cluciuatl's victory over the leading St. Louis Cardinal* last night. The Dodger* still are one game behind and there are only three left to play for each team, but the Brooklyns, from manager Leo Durocher down, felt that the Card inala were on the downgrade. There seemed little doubt that Brooklyn would play better baseball today In a game with the Phils than It did yesterday. It would be almo>t impossible to be worst. Durocher, whose Inspired hunches on pitcher* have been a wonder all season, was sour on almost every choice yesterday, and he made eight choice* —a new National League record for pitcher* used In a game. He ended with Kirby Hlgbe. who was named to come back and start today's game If Higbe looks a little weak. Durocher is ready to use seven more pitcher*, or 10 more. St. Louis, idle today, plays Chic ago Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The Dodg era are idle Friday and play Boston Saturday and Sunday. St. Lout* can clinch a tie by winning two of three, even If the Dodgers •'in all three. The Dodgers were In good physl cal shape for today's game, but the PhDs ware badly bruised. Del Ennis, star rookie outfielder, wa* hit on the arm by a pitched ball yesterday, and catcher Rollie Hem siey, In for injured first stringer' Andy Seminlck. wa* hit In the. groin by a bad throw by Emil; Verbsn, but was able to contlnn< lay Philadelphia to-k the gime yes -rd-i” with an a-na-lng five-run; -I’v tn th» h'rth netting wit'-1 ' walk off Harry Tayior. up t"! •he majors from St. Paul for little more than a week. Tayior struck out the next man and the Dodgers’ 9 to 6 lead appeared unshakeable. But Charley Gilbert singled. Vic Lombardi came in to pitch and Ron Northey whacked a single to right field Dixie Walker let the ball roll through him. Gilbert scored all the way from first. John Wyro*tek walked and Art He-ring came In tn pitch. Jim Tahor single-’ her run home and took se

com! on a throw-in. Frank McCormick got an Intentional walk to fill the bate* and Hlgbe came in. Dee Moore hit a long fly to bring iu u run. and then Emil Verbau, the goat of the Dodgers' big fourth Innlug. singled the fifth run home. Brooklyn fought back in the last half of the ninth. Augle Galan singled but Eddie Stanky. forced to hit because the Brook* needed two run*, grounded Intn a doubleRaiser* walk raised Brooklyn play. Ed Rtevens' pinch single and hope*, but Walker filed weakly to left field. Oscar Judd started for the Phils and hit an inside-the-park homer in the third inning to tie the score the first. Ralph Brancha. who startafter the Dodgers got a run in ed the game with 22 scoreless Innings. went out In the fourth as the Phils scored four limes, helped by an error, the balk and the passed ball. Brooklyn scored three In the fourth and three in the fifth, aided each time by Phil errors. The Dodger* got one run In the seventh and the Phils one in the eighth. Iximbardi was the toning pitcher and Tommy Hughe* wa* the winner. Philadelphia got 11 bits and Brooklyn It. .. fl .. NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. OS.
