Dodger Rally Defeats Cards In 9th Inning New York. July 2* <l'l’l One of baaehall's greatest dynast - its tottered today — it looked like the old Cardinal gashouse gang had just about run out of gas. These weren't the swashbuckling St. Louisans who used to terrorize the national league these were tired old men sitting silently around in the dressing room after one of the bitterest defeats any ball club ever suffered, a 3 to 2 ninth Inning loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers. who took over second place Symbolic of this most Ironic dafeat was the fact that the oldest gas-houser of them all, spirited surefooted Terry Moore. long rated the best center fielder In the national league, had misjudged a fly hall and it had gone for a two base hit. The blow by Bruce Edwards scored Gene llermanski. who had singled. with the tying run It wreck ed a briliantly pitched game by Lefty Howie I’ollet, who gave up only six hits, two in that final inning Unnerved, he wild-pitched Edwards to third base and after two Intentional passes. Peewee Reese lofted a towering fly to center that brought in Edwards with the gamebreaking run Moore, so disheartened from his flop, didn't even l>ottier to throw the ball to the plate It was all over Relief pitcher Carl Erskine, who hurled one scoreless inning, was the victor, getting his second big league triumph Joe Hatten had gone the previous eight innings, scattering eight hits. The Dodgers tailed to cut into Boston's flve-and-ithalf game lead, however, as the Braves took a 5 to 1 night game from the Pirates Catcher Phil Masi and outfielder Clint Conatser homered for Boston as Nelson Potter held the Pirates to six blows, one of them Ralph Kiner’s 28th home run of the year. The New York Giants < Ituibtwl Into fourth place by beating Cincinnati 3 to It as Leo Durocher made his polo grounds debut as Giant manager, lairry Jansen stopped the Reds with six hits for his second straight shutout and 13th win of the year.

Report Dissension In Olympic Ranks London. July 28—(UP) — Reports of dissension in the American ranks on the eve of the opening of the Olympic games tomorrow gave rise to unusual optimism today among the nations competing against the United States for the unofficial team championship Until now the 61 other nations have been given little chance against the 378-member U. S. team which has been described as possibly the greatest squad in Olympic history. But they have gained renewed hope from the dissension reports which center around the Yank track and field squad. Even among the strongest U. 8. teams, observers found signs of discontent and the American officials were visibly worried. It was no secret that many American athletes were dissatisfied and it was obvious that the track and field squad was among the bitterest. Many of the track men were complaining that coach Dean Cromwell of Southern California was devoting all his efforts to coaching sprinter Mel Patton of the same university ar-* was not taking an Interest lh »-.e other members of the team. Barney Ewell of Pa., who finished ahead of Patton in the 100-meter qualifying trials, complained that Cromwell was having him practice starts with only a brief instant betwee# "set" and “go" despite knowledge that the Olympic starters would be much slower. The complaint that Cromwell was "only interested" In Patton has been the one most often heard among the trackmen Many runners wanted to know why Emil Von Eiling of New York U.. one of the best running coaches in the country, was assl'rned to tutor the Hammer throwers. There were complaints, too. that the athletes were "being treated like children instead of men and women” and there were reports that some coaches bad told their players to disregard the curfew and go out and have a good time The long-promised, long-await-ed U 8. food was due to show up on the training tables today but some teams weren't waiting they were setting out to find steaks wherever they could. It was clear that the morale of the U. 8. squad was far from Its best—but the Americans remained the favorites for that un official title. The track and field draw announced last night did not hurt the chances of any American athletes The draw was released only after Olympic officials had studied It and argued about It for five days and the result was that star athletes were spotted where they had the least chance of being upset in the early heats.

O- "■ — — ’""T i Today's Sport Parade ' By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) I O_ 0 New York. July 28 H P* — All four teams in the red hot American league race are getting fat today off the second division clubs, particularly off lite Browns and White Sox. but over In the rival national league It is an entirely different story. There, where the Braves hold a comfortable lead over the hopeful Cardinals, Dodgers and Pirates, the (toys In the basement are handing out plenty of lumps. Among the four leaders it is a grand dog fight. The leading Braves are exactly square with their three rivals but have piled up a 15 game edge on the bottom clubs. They are two up on Brooklyn, two down to St. Louis and even with the Pirates. Billy Soythworth's boys are one down to the Giants but two on the Phils, five on Cincinnati and nine on Chicago Brooklyn has its ups and downs. The Dodgers are two games down to Boston, five down to the Cards and even with Che Pirates for a first division loss. They are 12 games up on the also rans, four ahead of New York, one ahead of the Phils and nine up on the Reds.' But, strangely enough, they are two down on the season to the Cubs. The Cardinals don't have too much trouble with the big theats, being two up on Boston and five up on the Dodgers. But pa«t those two it's a rough night for a sailor. Only against the Phillies do they shows profit, being six up there. Pittsburgh has the Cards one down, the Reds have them three down ami, the Cubs two down. That makes| them Just even against the second < division teams. Pittsburgh although trailing against its first division rivals by two games, is well balanced throughout Even for the season with both Boston and Brooklyn, the Hues are two down to the Cards. Their second division ledger t*alantes with the Reds held even. New York two up and the Phils and Cubs each one down. Over in the American league, the Red Sox show a profit against both divisions but are in hock to the A's and Senators. The A's have thtmi two down for the season, but the Bosox are two games ahead of both the Indians and Yanks, five
