| Dodgers Spreadeagle Field and
Lead 9% Games; Junior Circuit Has Hot 2d Place Scramble
Cardinals Are Definitely Out of Race and Have Pushed Reds Back for Second Position
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK Aug. 4—The Brooklyn Dodgers have spreadeagled the field so completely in the National league—today they lead by 9% games—that the respective pennant races now seem to have narrowed down to a race between the Flatbushers and the Yankees for the distinction of clinching the pennant by the widest margin. Rolling along behind the force of the most devastating attack Ls
the history of the club, Brooklyn has belted every club in the circuit into submission. The only ‘team boasting an even break in games between the clubs is St.
‘Louis, which has won eight out of 16 with the Dodgers. No serious ~opposition from any source in the 4 league has appeared as of this

Dave Allerdice :
NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (U, P.) ~The all-army football team boasted a squad of 35 outstanding players today following the selection of 16 more soldier-stars,
Col. Bob Neyland of Tennessee and Maj. Wallace Wade of Duke, co-coaches of the team, selected the players from a master list of ‘1500 men now in the army. The full squad is made up of 16 backs, five centers, five guards, six tackles and three ends. New “selectees’ were:
‘a= Backs—Lieut. ' David Allerdice; & Camp Bowie, Tex. former Shortridge of Indianapolis athlete; Pvt. George Cafegoy, Ft. Eustis, Va.; Lieut. Walter A. Luther, Ft. Ord, Cal.; Lieut. Mike Byelene, Camp Shelby, Miss.; Pvt. Bill Smaltz, Ft. Eustis; Pvt. Jackie Hunt, Blytheville, Ark.; Pvt. Viscount Francis, Lincoln, Neb., and Pvt. Jack Flack, Kessler Field, Miss.
Ends—Pvt. Robert H. Wood, Camp Wheeler, Ga.; Sgt. .Joe Daniels, Cochran Field, Ga., and Lieut. Eino Sarkkinen, Sloan Field, Tex. Guards—Lieut. Roy Bucek and Corp. Albert F. Baisi, both of Camp Robinson, Ark.
Centers — Lieut, Gilbert Xuhn, Tucson, Ariz.; Corp. William Diehl, Pt. Lewis, Cal, and Pvt. Henry Adams, Camp Croft, 8, C. -
sible trouble-maxkers in that setup, however, since Luke Sewell’s club is cnly five games back of third and has been hot enough recently to be difficult.
The Cardinals, definitely out of the National league race, have pushed the Reds back far enough to be sure of second place. Cincinnati,. “best pitching team in the league,” has been handcuffed by a powder-puff attack. Thus the Reds have fallen 8! games behind the Cards and 18 games off the pennant race. Mungo Loses 2d Start
Mel Oftt's surprising New York Giants present a definite threat to the Reds’ foothold in the third slot. They are riding along in fourth place only 1% games behind Cincinnati and five games in front of the Pirates. Activity in the major leagues was confined to one game yesterday. That was the relief contest between the Giants and Dodgers which Brooklyn won, 7-4, before a record crowd of more than 57,305 spectators at the Polo grounds.
Dolph Camilli’s grand-slam homer in the fifth inning served to provide Brooklyn’s winning margin. It also sent Pitcher Van Lingle Mungo, former Dodger righthander, to the showers. All of Brooklyn's runs were scored on homers as Dixie Walker got off a. three-run circuit smash in the third.
Whit Wyatt allowed 10 hits, in cluding a home run by Babe Young in the fourth inning with the bases empty. Wyatt earned his 13th victory while Mungo was charged with his second loss. The game saw the largest turnout of fans in baseball for the benefit of the army emergency rélief fund. For the first time since the park was remodeled years ago, the crowd was allowed to overflow onto the field. The receipts of almost $90,000 brought the National league's total for service relief to more than $284,000. The remainder of the clubs resume
competition today.

A bit of a squabble halted play for a while in the seventh, when the ump said Shea’s attempted sacrifice following Milosevich’s single was foul. After Kansas City protested, Shea was permitted to hold first until Mr. Hartnett put in a beef, too, whereupon the original verdict held. The Blues got two more hits in the eighth, but they were good only for the batting averages.
