NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (U. P)— Pete Reiser, a big gun in the Brooklyn Dodgers’ pennant battle, took a “wide lead over National League

batsmen last week as Ted Williams|

of the Boston Red Sox continued pounding the apple above the 410 mark. Figures released today and including games played Thursday showed that Reiser added eight points to lead the Natiohal loop with .338, 15 points above runner-up “Johnny Hopp of the Cardinals. Williams, who has a maximum of .15 games to play, is now hitting "413. On‘the basis of his getting three officia es Be bat per game, he esta 5 pu 13 more safeties to wind up th with .400. Howard Krist of St. Louis continued to lead the senior: circuit pitchers with his record of nine victories against no defeats.

* Cards Refise To Drop, Too

(Continued from Page 10) the Texas League, lost Herman on a

- walk. Reiser popped to short. Med-

wick, who had been futile in two previous pinches, singled out to our friend Mr. Padgett who let the ball | get away from him and a run was in. That put Herman on third and

the obvious

>. Medwick on second.

In this situation

. strategy would be to pull the infield

in for a possible play at the plate. At the time the Cardinals were leading, 2-1. The danger of this - strategy is that with tHe infield in any kind of a ground hit ball might go for a hit. It was still reasonably early in the game so the Cardinals’ manager decided to gamble; he kept the infleld back and while Lava- .- getto, the next hitter, furnished an irifield roller which sent in a run, he was out. With the infleld in his roller would have been a base hit and there is no telling how long the inning would have las or how many runs the Bums would have made. Therefore, it is not getting too far away from realities to-say that the Cardinals’ manager, Billy Southworth, may haye master-minded his fellows into the victory. Curt Davis was the Brooklyn pitcher. He had two bad innings and that’s what beat him. Maybe ‘it is nearer to the truth to say he had one bad inning and one un--fortunate inning. As early as the second inning it looked as if the . Cardinals would get him out of there. A double, a triple and a single, all ringing hits, gave the locals two runs. Then came the and the ball game. Padgett ope with a walk. Davis, a ine seasoned cam-

". paigner, just couldn’t’ get the ball

over for him. He handled the danMize better, getting him on a - fly ball to left. This brought up a gentleman engagingly captioned Crabtree, something of an old timer. Crabtree teed up and almost hit the ball out of the state. He settled

“W for three bases, tied the score, and

pame home with the payoff run on a sacrifice fly a few moments later.

Fair Grounds Strip Manicured For A.A. A.-Sanctioned Card

With many of the nation’s foremost automobile drivers already on hand for the classic at the State Fair Grounds tomorrow afternoon, a corps of workers was engaged today in getting the milecourse. in condition for the battle of _cylinders. Thousands of gallons of water and ous of calcium were being poured n the surface of the lightning g strip ry dust-proof and harden it. Pilots who looked the track over said the course is fully the equal of the Milwaukee or Syracuse tracks since it is wider. A The narrowest portion from the pole to ‘the outside fence is wider than the biggest], part of the other two courses and has a full 100 feet width the length of ‘the home’ stretch. At the Labor Day race in Syracuse the winning car driven by Rex Mays averaged better than 92 miles an hour for the 100 miles. The same driver in the same car, the Bowes Seal Fast special, has predicted it will take close to 100 miles an hour to win the 12-mile sweepstakes match race tomorrow as well as a new world’s record for the distance. , Mays is to be by Mauri Rose, who will drive the .No. 16 car owned by Lou Moore which won the 500-mile race at the Indianapo-

Russell Snowberger in the Pike’s Peak winning car and George Connor, the California star, who will pilot one of the Cotton Henning cars owned by Mike Boyle. In addition to the special match race the sprint events have drawn the leading Midwest dirt track pilots along with a. number of Eastern luminaries. There will be four 10-mile sprints with the first four in each of these except the consolation gaining entrance into the 25mile finale event, limited to 14 and carrying 10 prizes. The two fastest in the consolation, which also carry 10 prizes, get into the 25-miler. One of the events on the program calls for Cliff Bergere, Hollywood stunt : driver and winner of fifth place in the 500-miler last May, to drive a high-powered racer around the mile course at’ better than 75 miles an hour while blindfolded. Al Feeney, former Notre Dame athlete and Marion County Sheriff, will blindfold the coast ace with three yards of tape at the starting wire as a part of the afternoon’s entertainment. It marks the renéwal of sanctioned A. A. A. racing at the fairgrounds’ after an absence of more than 15 years. The eight-event program will open with qualifying trials starting at noon tomorrow.

Third loss for the Blues came last night in Kansas City where the Columbus Red Birds closed with an eighth and ninth inning push that swamped the home team, 9 to 2. It was the big bat of ‘Max Marshall that accounted for the Columbus victory. His triple in the second inning scored one run and put the Birds ahead. Then after Kansas City had tied the score, he pounded a homer over the right field wall in the eighth inning scoring three runs and cinching. the game. The heart went out of the Blues and they ‘let four more runs 8 by by in the ninth. Sresioen got credit for Bd the victory. Tommy Reis, Who lasted until the eighth, was the oser. The Blues have won only one out of four games in their series with Columbus. They will have to win three in a row to oust the Birds from the playoffs. Minneapolis and Louisville did not play yesterday. They resume today with the game count standing at 3 to 0 in Louisville's favor.
