Minneapolis staged a three-run offensive in the first inning but the saints took the lead in the fifth. The Millers regained it in the seventh and stayed ahead to win, 13 to 10.

Royce Lint worked for 7% innings against. the Colonels in the opener and was. relieved by Red Barrett.

Bob Sikes Eyes
State Ring Title
Bob Sikes, the transplanted Little Rock, Ark. heavyweight knockout artist, will get a crack at Willard Reed, Indiana's current topranking contender for the Hoosier heavyweight crown, at the outdoor Eports Arena next Thursday night. If Sikes can pin a defeat on the popular Indianapolis puncher it would move him in line for a bout with Billy Petersen of Indiana Harbor who now rules the state's heavy bracket. Reed has met Johnny Denson three times here, with the former taking two close decisions and Denson winning one. Denson recently collided with Sikes at Little Rock before the latter took up residence in Indianapolis and Johnny was knocked out in eight rounds. Sikes won the Southern heavyweight championship belt in 1940 and still holds the title. Reed will be gunning for his third straight win since he was k. o.'d by Petersen to lose the Indiana title.

in which St. Louis outlasted Pittsburgh, 6 to 5, while the Phillies trimmed Brooklyn, 4 to 0, to cut the Dodger league lead to 4% games over the Cards. Each team played a tie game’ in the second half of the doubleheader. The Card-Pirate game was scoreless when rained out; the Dodger-Phil contest was tied, 4 to 4, when the curfew stopped it. - If the Dodgers play today as they did in yesterday's first game, it will be funny to all but the Flatbush faithful. Burt Shotton's boys made seven errors, and all the Phil runs were aided by bobbles. However, Dutch Leonard's knuckleball, fluttering perfectly, was touched for only seven scattered hits by Dodger bats, and Leonard completed the rout by batting in the last two Phil runs with an eighth-inning single. St. Louis paddled Kirby Higbe yesterday for six runs in the first four innings, then defending frantically as the Bucs edged up on a homer by Frank Gustine, and a six-hit, four-run- burst in the eighth climaxed by Hank Greenberg's 24th roundtripper. The O’Henry surprise touch made the twin bill necessary, for the night game is a replay of a game which Brooklyn thought it had won, 3 to 2, weeks ago. The game was ordered replayed after the Cards protested Umpire Beans Reardon's action in slowing Ron Northey, who thought he had a homer and was thrown out at the plate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (U. P.).—With a fine sense of the dramatie, major league baseball left Brooklyn and the St. Louis Cardinals alone on the stage today for a doubleheader which may be as funny as Shaw, as tragic as Ibsen, or as surprising as O. Henry, Only these two games were scheduled, one in the afternoon and: the other at night, and interest was heightened by yesterday's results,
the Sox beat the Yanks in 11 ine nings, 3 to 0. It was Raschi's first loss after six victories since he came up from Portland. Nats Lose Two Philadelphia beat Washington twice, 2 to 1 and 5 to 3, extending the Nat losing streak to seven games. Eddie Joost doubled home the two Athletic runs in the open« er, and in the nightcap Phil Mar« childon had a no-hit game until until the seventh inning, then coasted to a four-hit victory. Chicago and Detroit divided as Taft Wright's eighth-inning homer gave Ed Lopat and the White Sox a 1 to 0 win in the opener and Detroit then came back for a 4 to 3 nightcap victory. -It was a standoff at 8t. Louis, too, as the Browns and Indians split a pair. St. Louis won the first, 7 to 6, despite a five-run ninth-inning by the Indians topped by Joe Gordon's three-run homer. Cleveland took the second game, 4 to 3.
