Dodgers Halt ‘Climb’ to New Losing Record

Stengelmen Put Brakes to Toboggan, and Cards Take ‘Heat’

By United Press . NEW YORK, July 13.—Lo and behold, the Brooklyn Dodgers have started an inopportune winning streak right when it seemed that they surely were destined to create a new record—for games lost in one season. : . If Casey Stengel doesn’t calla halt to the way his Daffiness Boys are acting up, he isn’t going to have a chance of cracking the mark of 115 games lost in one year set by the Boston Braves last year. The Dodgers have just won three consecutive games, an occurence that Stengel has warded off successfully since the last of May when the New York Giants went over over to Ebbets Field and dropped a trio of cone

tests. Picking on Big Bullies It isn’t the little boys that the Stengelmen are picking on, but the topnotch clubs like the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. After keeping their string of losses at Wrigley Field intact for eight games, the Dodgers whipped the Cubs last Saturday, then turned up in Sportsman’s Park yesterday to administer a decisive twin licking to the Cardie ‘nals. As the Dodgers triumphed, 6 to 3 and 11 to 14, they trimmed the Cards’ National League lead down to a half game over the Cubs. Cubs Gain Half Game The Cubs gained a half a game a8 a result of splitting a doubles header with the New York Giants, ‘Larry French scattered nine hits to the New Yorkers in winning the opener, 4 to 2, A seven-run burst in the second inning of the nightcap gave the Giants an 8-to-6 victory. The Boston Bees combined three singles and a series of Pittsburgh misplays in the tenth for four runs to break a deadlock and win out, 6 to 2. Cincinnati and Philadelphia divided a double matinee, the Phil« lies winning the first, 4 to 0. Cine cinnati took the last game in the eleventh, 4 to 3. In the American League, Ted Lyons pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 5-to-0 shutout over the leading New York Yankees in ‘the first game of a double-header, but the Bronx bombers came back 10 take a close 5-to-4 decision in the second. The Detroit Tigers crept a little closer—just 9% games away from the Yanks—by triumphing 7 to 2 over the Philadelphia Athletics. Boston’s Red Sox lost ground as they succumbed 5 to 2 to the Cleveland Indians. Paul Ivy Andrews won his first game of the season as he pitched the St. Louis Browns to a 4« to-3 decision over the Washington Senators.
