DEAN SHINES AND "CARDS REGAIN HEART Meet Terry Moore, of the Cardinals—the New Tris Speaker
Diz Forgets Head Bruise to Stop Phils
Trail After Losing Streak Ends.
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 18—A long, gangling figure with a knot the size of an egg protruding from beneath his batttered, sweat-stained cap, strode to the pitching mound at sun-baked Sportsman’s Park. The score was 4 to 3 against the 8t. Louis Gas House Gang and things were looking pretty bad for there were only four more innings to go, the slugging Philadelphia Phillies were staging a rally and the St. Louis boys had. dropped four out of their last five starrts and also the National League lead. It was ol’ Dizzy Dean, the great man himself, who went to the mound. He had been: knocked Mungo from the mound Thursday by the same team in his first start since being ' injured—an injury which might have kept many players on the sidelines for several weeks. No, he couldn't do it. The odds were all against him. The Phils had already scored two runs in the sixth inning, there was only one out and they were on a rampage, ready to sweep the three-game series.
But ol’ diz did do it. In 32-3 innings he set the Phils down without so much as anything that even resembled a hit. Four of the opposing batsmen went out on strikes. The Dizzy one had all of his oldtime blinding speed. tantalizing curves and change of pace working to perfection. But he still couldn’t win the ball game without a little assistance. All he asked was two runs, enough to give him a one-run lead. That assistance came in the, last of the eighth inning when Manager Frankié Frisch sent in Rookie Johnny Mize as a pinchhitter with one man on base. Mize lashed out a terrific home run to score two runs and give the Cards a 5-4 lead, which the great Dean protected in the. ninth inning by fanning three Phils in a row for his fifteenth victory. The win gave the rollicking Cardinals a new lease on life as it, boosted them to within one game of the league-lead-ing Chicago Cubs, who were defeated at Wrigley field by the Boston Bees, 5 to 1.
The New York Giants failed to | climb into first division by one per-
centage point ‘despite Brooklyn's |
5-3 victory over’ the fourth-place Cincinnati Reds and their own 6-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cincy Reds were unable to solve the slants of Brooklyn's Van Lingle Mungo who limited them to seven hits, struck out eight and gave away only one walk. In the American League, the New York Yankees whipped the crippled Detroit Tigers, 9-4. The Cleveland Indians clung to second place by winning their seventh consecutive victory, 5-to-1, over the Philadelphia. Athletics. Jimmy Foxx, slugging first baseman of the Boston Red Sox converted a 1-0 defeat into a 2-1 victory over the St. Loujs Browns by smashing a stinging singles into left field with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. The Chicago White Sox beat the Washington Senators, 16-to-5. -

HE Elizabeth Dunn-Harriett Randall rivalry should be good |1 for at least three or four more years. And somewhere In this stretch, young Miss Randall may be expected to snap Miss Dunn’s solid supremacy over the feminine branch of Hoosier golfdom. Right now the 18-year-old Butler University coed appears the outstanding threat fo a reign by Miss Dunn which includes seven sparkling championships, the last four in succession. Miss Dunn has whipped her young
rival two years straight now. But
Miss Randall's game in the final match yesterday at the Indianapolis Country Club showed considerable improvement over the variety she turned out in losing last year. Miss Dunn’s game, on the whole was much the same as always—which is
plenty good. » ” n
