Cards Battle Dodgers Today In Rubber Tilt New York, Sept. 13 —(UP) —Today dawns as the most momentous day of the 1947 baseball season, as the Brooklyn Dodgers and the St. Louis Cards meet in the rubber game of their three-game “series for the pennant." It’s slated to be the Card's ace right-hander, little Murry Dickson, pitching against the Dodgers plucky little lefty, Vic Lombardi. The Brooklyn margin will become a scanty three-and-a-half games or a fat five-and-a-half before nightfall in St. Louis. The Cards bounced back from their 4 to 3 loss in the series opener Thursday to whip the Dodgers, 8 to 7, last night in as hairraising a ball game as ever seen anywhere. The Dodgers overcame a 6-3 deficit in the ninth inning with four runs, but in the same stanza Country Slaughter rammed an extra-base hit with two-on to give the Cards two more runs and the ball game. With the score tied at two all, relief pitcher Hugh Casey walked three Cards and Stan Musial scored ’em all with a triple. The teams traded single runs in the eighth and then Brooklyn got four in the ninth, two on pinch-hitter Don Lund's homer and two on Dixie Walker’s single.

While the pennant storm hangs over St. Louis, thunder continues to rumble in Pittsburgh — the thunder in the bat of Ralph Kiner. The Pirate outfielder socked two homers yesterday as Pittsburgh beat Boston, 4 to 3, and he thus set a new major-league record of eight homers in four games. Kiner’s spree erased the old mark of seven homers in four games set in 1936 by Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees. Kiner’s first wallop yesterday came in the fifth with one on and his second, in the eighth with none on, provided pitcher Truett (Rip) Sewell with the winning run in his sixth victory. Charley (Red) Barrett, who went all the way for Boston, incurred his 12th defeat. The Chicago Cubs took a doubleheader from Philadelphia, winning the first game 4 to 3 behind rookie Ralph Hamner and the second 7 to 5 for relief pitcher Emil Kush. The New York Giants —Cincinnati Reds game was postponed by rain. In the American league, the Detroit Tigers handed the leagueleading New York Yankees, their sixth loss in their last nine games, 7 to 2, but the Yanks, nevertheless, moved to within three games of clinching the pennant when Boston lost to Cleveland, 11 to 6. The victory gave Detroit second place by a half-game over Boston The Indians came up with 17 hits, including six doubles and a triple to beat the Red Sox, while Merrill Combs, rookie third-baseman, was tje only Boston highlight with three hits, one a three-run homer. A wild throw by catcher Mike Guerra with the bases loaded in the 10th inning gave the Chicago White Sox a 5 to 4 win over the Athletics. Guerra had stepped on home for a forceout but his thow to first hit the runner in the back. Seventeen hits gave the St. Louis Browns a 9 to 3 victory over Washington, Jack Kramer shackling the Senators with six hits to score his 10th victory against 15 losses. Yesterday’s star —Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh Pirate slugger, whose two home runs gave his team a 4 to 3 win over Boston and gave himself a major-league record of eight homers in four games. — Violin Scholarship For Berne Student Berne, Ind., Sept. 13 — Merlin Lehman, a junior in the Berne high school, was notified yesterday that he has been awarded a full violin scholarship for one season by the women’s committee of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic orchestra under their “student endowment” fund. This tea result of try-outs last March. Merlin was awarded a first division rating for his violin solo at the state contest last spring. o He Joins and Joins Boston (UP)— Michael T. Kelleher, new president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, must hold some sort of record as a joiner. He is a member of 52 organizations.
