Jack Robinson Proving Worth In Major Loop New Ydrk. Aug 15—(UP) Jackie Robinson has proved more valuable of late to the Dodgers while making outs than most players are while getting hits Robinson, whose play in his rookie year haa proved so good that he has won the ultimate tribute- people think of him as a star player rather than as the first negro in the majors, is a master of all the oldtime, alert, “Inside" baseball. Many veteran managers and coaches say he is the best baserunner since Ty Cobb, and It's a matter of record that he leads the National league in stolen bases second to home on an infield out. He's a great hunter, and in the past few weeks that talent has been of tremendous importance to the harried Dodgers, who get Just about every run through blood, sweat and fears rather than hy the Giants' easy knock-lt-out-of-the-park-and-then-walk • around technique Yesterday Robinson’s perfect bunt made possible Brooklyn's only run in a 1 to 0 victory over Boston, a victory which put the Dodgers 4% games ahead of St. Louis. The run, coming in the eighth inning, broke up a lefthanded pitching duel between Warren Spahn of Boston and Vic Ix>mbardl of Brooklyn. It followed a familiar formula. Eddie Stanky. who gets on base despite bitter vows hy opposing pitchers, led off with a single. Robinson hunted, a play expected hy the Boston infield and everybody else In the park. But the ball was nudged so expertly down the first bane line that the Braves had to hustle to get Jartie. Stanky went to second and scored a moment later on Carl Furlllo’s hit. Importance of the sacrifice wax underlined by the lucky nature of Furlllo’s hit, a grounder that went through Nanny Fernandez' legs and rolled weakly to the edge of the grass. The hit would barely have moved Stanky to second had he still been on first. Ixtst Sunday Stanky tallied both Dodger runs In a 2 to 0 win over the Phils after being advanced to scoring position on Robinson's bunts Lombardi, winning his seventh victory, allowed four hits; Spahn gave up six. Pittsburgh slowed the Cardinal rush, beating St Louis 5 to 3 on a three-run homer hy Ralph Kiner and a two-run single by Jim Bloodworth The homer came in the first inning and the single in the sixth inning.

The federal reserve board reported that department store sales for the week ended Aug 9 were three percent lower than for the < orrespondlng 1946 week.
