Dodgers Lose Another Half Game Os Lead Now York. Aug. 11 — (UP)— The beleaguered Brooklyn Dodgers, their lead shrunk to 3% games, had some small consolation today — they are good prophets; they said the cardinals would be their only opiiosition. Several weeks ago several mem- ' bars of the Dodgers team admitted that the only team they feared was St. iaiuis, then in fourth place and apparently rooted there after some six weeks' tenancy. The Dodgers then took off on a 13-game winning streak which Included three triumphs over St. Uiuls, which meanwhile had risen to second place m the Braves and Giants slumped. However, the secondplace Redbird* were even farther away from first place than they had been when in fourth place The gap was 10 game* as Brooklyn de parted from St. Louis, whereas It i had been four or five games when | St. Ixiuls was fourth. Undaunted by the odd fact they I had lost ground while going upward the Cardinals tried again. Brooklyn, much more successful in protecting its position as a forecaster than as a g<k>d baseball team, cooperated amazingly. While St. (xmls won 10 of 11, Brooklyn lost seven of 10. The Cardinals beat Pittsburgh twice yesterday. 5 to C and 7 to S, while Brooklyn trimmed the Philadelphia Phils. 2 to 0, for a net loss of half-game by Brooklyn. Brooklyn has further chance to contemplate its own wisdom today as it rests while St. Uiuls plays Chicago in a night game which could trim another half-game from the fading lead. Murry Dickson hurled a four-hit game to give the Cards their first victory yesterday, getting baiting support from five teammates who got two hits each. In the nightcap St. Louis ran up a 6 to 0 lead on Timely doubles by Whitey Kurowski and Ron Northey plus Hue errors by Frank Gustine and Bible Fletcher, then coasted to a final 7 to 8 victory after Pittsburgh got three runs In the eighth and Dickson had to come back to put out the i fire. lx>fty Joe Hatten stopped the Phils on five hits, while Eddie Stanky. Jackie Robinson and Dixie Walker gave him offensive support Stanky got on base twice, via being hit by a pitched ball and a single, Robinson sacrificed him along, and Walker singled him home twice. The Giants and Boston Braves divided. New York won the opener, 6 to 2. behind Ixirry Jansen. John Mize hit his 36th homer to help Jansen. Boston won the second game. 7 to 5. when Tommy Holmes socked a ninth inning three-run homer off the same Jansen, back in a relief role. John Hopp. Earl Torgeson and Willard Marshall also got second-game homers. It was Marshall's 29th. Chicago Cubs replaced Cincinnati in fifth place by whipping the Reds, 4 to 3. on Clyde McCoullough’s two-run single in the eighth inning. Doyle Lade outpitched John , Vandermeer for the victory. The Yankees ended a brief period of teetering on the edge of trouble by nipping the Boston Red Sox. 2 to 1, after the Red Sox had won two straight from the league leaders, who now are back to a 12% game bulge, apparently enough to last until world series time. Two singles, a wild pitch by Joe Dobson and George Stirnweiss'

They are worse this year because of the added number of grasshoppers—and the beetle larvae live on grasshoppers, so they say. County agent L. E.
