They cannot continue to give ground as they have the past six weeks and hold the top. In August the Reds won 13, lost 15, and played one tie. So far in September, they have won six and lost six. The Cards have won eight and lost four this month and are gradually closing in on the Reds for a showdown Sept. 26-27-28 when they move into Cincinnati for a four-game series.

Schedule Aids Cards For the next few days the advantage rests with the Cardinals. They played a single game at Pittsburgh today. If the Cards win this one, while the Reds are idle, the leaders' margin will have been trimmed to 22 games. The Eastern invasion opens tomorrow, the Cards entertaining the docile Phillies and the Reds playing host to the very tough Dodgers, who have reeled off six straight and are battling for third place. The Cards smashed through to two victories yesterday over the Pirates, 9-3 and 11-4.

Curt Davis hung up No. 20 in the opener. Paul Derringer scored his 20th victory when he pitched the Reds to a 7-2 win over the Cubs, completing the season's series between the two clubs. Larry French, after winning five straight, was beaten. Derringer's two singles drove in two runs.

Because the advance sale was only $1700, and the overcast sky seemed to bear out the federal weather bureau forecast of rain, Bert Bell, Eagles' owner, started talking postponement as soon as he saw Rooney yesterday morning. The Pirate boss held out until his players actually had boarded their bus to go to Philadelphia's municipal stadium for the game. At that time, however, a slight sprinkle of rain fell. The jittery Bell then insisted the game be postponed, so Rooney gave in.
