Brooklyn And St. Louis Open Series Tonight New York, July JF-(UP)-Brouklyn moved Into St. Louin today to atari a three-game aerie* tonight that probably mean* •‘world aerie* or bu»t" — If the Brook* win two or three It will be the world »erlea for them and the aeaaon will tie a bust for the Card*. The Dodger*, who ran their winning atreak to 10 In a row by defeating the Chicago Cuba yeaterday. 4 to 0, lead by seven game*, and St. Ixiuia desperately need* a •weep to get back within striking distance, for there are only 58 games left on the Brook schedule, and a 10-game lead with 55 games to go would be a high barrier for the Redbird* to scale. St. Ix>ui» ha* won eight of the 12 games played against Brooklyn thia year, and swept a fourgame aeries during the Dodgers' last visit. But the Dodgers opened at Sportsman's Park on that trip; tonight they come In under the impetus of the National league's longest 1947 atreak. and that appeared to equalize their ratings Harry Taylor was expected to pitch for Brooklyn and Murry Dickson for St. Ixiul*. Joe Hatten pitched the Dodgers to their victory yesterday, allowing three hit* as he tamed the Cubs for the sixth time this year. John Schmitz matched him for eight innings, but cracked In the ninth as Brooklyn got four runs. It was Brooklyn's lilth straight win over the Cub* during the season. The Cardinal* kept pace with an 8 to 7 victory over the Boston Braves, achieved with two out in the ninth. A walk, a single and another walk loaded the base* and pinch-hitter Joe Garagiola singled the run home. St. Louis took an early 4 to 0 lead, but a six-run rally in the fourth inning, led by two-run homers by IJom Holmes and Earl Torgeson. put Boston ahead. Boston got another run
