Dodgers, Now Fourth, Trail Birds 13 Games f Haines and Rhem Hurl Champions to Two Victories Over - Brooklyn: Cubs Also Take Pair From Phillies to Gain Second. BY L. 8. CAMERON United Preit Snorts Editor YORK, Aug. 13. —Manager Wilbert Robinson and his Brooklyn Dodgers have abandoned all hope of winning the 1931 National League pennant and now will center their attention on winning the runnerup position. f Although all but the most optimistic Brooklyn followers had given bp their championship hopes long ago, the Robins players were not convinced that they were definitely out of the race until Wednesday, when they dropped a double-header to the league-leading St. Louis Cards. The double defeat left Brooklyn thirteen games behind the leaders, with only forty-two games to play.

Cards and A’s Can Order Series Tickets, Babe Admits

BY BABE RUTH CLEVELAND, Aug. 13.—Here it is the middle of August but to all appearances the pennant races are over in the two major leagues. I didn’t give up the idea until a few days ago that the Yankees might be able to give the Mackmen a real battle, and that the Brooklyn Robins would win in the National League. I thought, too, that the Senators would be closer to the top than they are, as their big spurt of a month ago threatened the leadership of the Athletics. The uncertainty of baseball caused me to stick to my spring predictions that the Yankees and the Robins would finish in front. As things stand now, I can not see anything but another world series between the Mackmen and the Cardinals, just as we had last year. The only chance that any other club now has of getting into the big series is a general breakdown in

the play of the A’s and the Cardinals. And each club is too well equipped for any such break. It is very unusual for both races to be in this condition as early as Aug. 13. In most recent years the National League clubs have battled right down to the final week of the season before evidence pointed strongly to any team as the pennant winner. Occasionally, in these same years, as in 1926 and 1928, the American League champions were not known until world series tickets had been ordered by two clubs. I am quite sure that it would be safe now for the officials of the two clubs now in the lead to put in their world series orders for tickets.
