Timely Hitting
[Keeps ‘Bums’ In Loop Lead
By CORNELIUS RYAN United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. . 10. — Pete Reiser, Peewee Reese and Dixie Walker, one-third of the Brooklyn Dodger team on “aper and ninetenths of it on the field, appeared capable today of making this peculiar mathematical formula equal a National league pennant. The Dodgers, who theoretically have no business arguing with the 8t. Louis Cardinals, are two games on top today because in almost every game either Reiser, Walker or Reese has come through with a timely hit or sparkling fielding play. The Cardinals, confident even during early-season stumbling, now are beginning to b. worried about just three men who stand between them and a world series. Last night it was Reiser and Reese who provided the punch, with an assist from Pitcher Kirby Higbe. Higbe twirled a five-hit shutout over tHe Phillies, and Reese’s double and Reiser’s single in the eighth inning scored the only run of the gamie. : Cards Hold Qn
It was the Dodgers’ 11th 1946 victory over the Phils against no losses. The Cardinals grimly held on in second place by beating the Cincinnati Reds, 5 to 2, with a 16-hit attack that included Joe Garagiola's first big-league homer and Whitey Kurowski’s 12th of the season. Kurowski got four hits and batted in three runs. Lenny Merullo got three doubles and a single as the Chicago Cubs, still hopeful of sneaking into the rpennant, trounced Pittsburgh, 9 to 3. The Cubs got 15 Lits to allow Paul Erickson to coast to victory. Warren Spahn outpitched three New York Giant hurlers to give the
though New York outhit Boston, seven to five. The Yankees’ slim hopes for a miracle vanished into the left field seats in the sixth inning last night along with a three-run homer by Rudy York that carried the Boston’ Red Sox to a 4 to 3 victory. Boston now leads by 14 games. Call On Newhouser The Yanks were off to a lead on Aaron Robinson's two-*un homer in the second inning, but Boston scored a run in the fourth, as did the Yanks.

Tribesters Return For 26.
Big things are shaping up out Butler university's way as members of the athletic staff prepare for the coming football season and a determined bid for the Indiana intercollegiate football title. Paul D. Hinkle, athletic director and head football coach, is holding twice-weekly meetings with members of his staff preparing the season’s strategy. Pictured at one of the recent meetings are (left to right). Hugh (Wally) Middlesworth, backfield coach; James Morris, trainer; Hinkle, Herbert Schwomeyer, assistant coach, and John Rabold, line coach. The Bulldogs will start practice Sept. 5.
Firing in the 250-target all-bore championship of the national skeet shoot was renewed this morning at the Capitol City Gun club with four contenders seeking the title. All four marksmen shattered a 100 birds yesterday. They were Charles Poulton of San Antonio, Tex.; Lee Braun of Austin, Tex.; Alex Kerr of Beverly Hills, Cal, and Gerald Batten of- Chicago. Braun and Poulton already have grabbed a national crown at the tournament; the former winning the men's 20-gauge and smallgauge championships while the latter has been crowned “champion of champions.” They competed also in a 100-tar-get Calcutta sweepstakes which Poulton ‘won ahead of Batten, Kerr and Braun in that order. Poulton's cash prize was $1050, half of which was shared by William Bilsky of Indianapolis, who “bought” Poulton in the auction. Bilsky also shared in the $420 that went to third-place Kerr. The 100 targets today and 50 more tomorrow will decide thé allbore championship. There were seven other entrants yesterday who chased the four per-
Floyd Bevens' fast ball. It was only the third Boston hit, and all they got for the game, but it was enough. Dave Ferriss allowed five hits in getting his 19th victory. Detroit, = shooting for second place ahead of the Yanks, moved within one game of New York by edging the Chicago White Sox, 5 {to 4. Detroit called on Hal Newhouser in the ninth when Al Benton loaded the bases with none out, and Hal allowed only one run to get home. Mickey Vernon batted in both runs with a timely single as Washington defeated Philadelphia, 2 to 1.. Lum Harris of the A's allowed only five hits to eight off the winner, Mickey Haefner. Five straight hits in the sixth inning gave the Cleveland Indians five runs and a 5 to 4 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Chet Laabs hits a two-run homer as the Browns rallied for four runs in the seventh. All of the games were night contests—the first time in history— and the crowds were uniformaly large. The Yankees drew the big-
fect shooters. All broke 99 targets
