Cuban Wrecks Tribe
Bobby Estalella, the Cuban slugger, beat the Indians last night by \walloping a home run over the left {field fence in the eighth with one down and the bases loaded. | The Redskins were making a gal{lant effort to protect a 4-to-3 lead {when Hetalella destroyed their] {hopes.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 24 — “Wait ’till next year,” the time-worn Brookivn battle-cry, was dusted off today and brought back to life to soothe the badlv-lacerated feelings of the faithful Flatbush followers. Unless a miracle comes to pass you can write the Dodgers right out of the pennant race after their double-thrashing by the hardhustling Cincinnati Reds. The Men of MeKechnie stomped the Dodgers twice, 4-3, in 11 innings and 9-2, and are now seven games out in front. With their pitching and sound defense, the Reds aren't likely to fall apart and their lead is long enough to allow for whatever slumps they may run into. But if it's fighting vou are talking about, the Dodgers will draw a line and start battling right now. They've put on three gang fights in five weeks. The first was with the Cardinals, growing out of the “benning”’ of Joe Medwick. Manager Leo Durocher and Mickey Owen, Card catcher, came to blows. Their next pugilistic encounter was with the Cubs in Chicago last week and started between pitchers Hugh Casey and Claude Passeau. Passeau claimed Casey was throwing at him and when he was hit in the ribs, threw his bat at Casey. Passeau and Joe Gallagher, Brooklyn outfielder, came to blows as a result. In the eighth inning of yesterday's first game at Ebbetts Field, Lonnie Frey slid hard into second base and sniked Pete Coscarart, Dodger second baseman. Then the fireworks started. Frev and Coscarart slugged away and Whit Wyatt, Dodger pitcher, got in a few blows with his gloved hand on the Cincinnati plaver. Wyatt apparently still is nursing a grudge against Frey for injuring his knee last vear. Gene Thompson, Red pitcher, was spiked badly on the ankle, and Bill Werber, Red third baseman, got a black eye. Frey and Coscarart were banished. Poor Brooklyn defensive play cost them the first game. They made four errors and the Reds didn't score an earned run until they put over the winning marker in the 11th. Lombardi doubled and Mike McCormick singled, scoring Gamble, who ran for the Reds’ catcher, In the nightcap the Reds pounded out 17 hits off four Dodger pitchers to win handily behind Whitey Moore's seven-hit pitching.
