Cards Maintain Two-Game Lead by Defeating Braves While Dodgers Win Enos Slaughter Hits Homer With Two Out in Third Inning Cards' Outfielder Connects for 13th Circuit -Six Hurlers Fail to Halt Dodgers By BILL KING, Associated Press Sports Writer. BOSTON, Sept. Louis Cardinals protected their twogame National League lead by.

drubbing Boston Braves 6-2 today behind the effective ni pitching of Ernie White, their ailing southpaw. Showing no ill effects from their furious home-stretch pace in the pennant parade, during which they have won 33 of their last 39 games, the Red Birds climbed on Jim Tobin early and were in front all the way as they handed him his 20th defeat of the season. Backing up White, they tagged Tobin for nine hits altogether, but they bunched five of these in the sixth inning for game- winning four -run outburst to maintain their bulge over the -place Brooklyn Dodgers, who got back into action with victory today after taking two afternoons off. The Red Birds lost little time setting the stage for the victory. Jimmy Brown opened action in the first inning by singling and then beating Paul Waner's slow throw to second.

Stan Musial brought him home with a hit after two were away, the Cards were off to the races. Enos Slaughter, the Cards' outfield powerhouse, smashed his 13th hotter of the season out of the park with away in the third to put the Birds in front 2-0. White in Command. With that edge to work on, White breezed along and showed no effects from the soreness that has bothered his pitching arm for the last couple of weeks. He faced only seven Braves during the first two innings, gave up only three hits while serving shutout ball for the first five frames, and coasted in with his fifth victory of the season after being tagged with both Boston runs in the sixth inning.

These came when Ernie Lombardi fired his 10th homer of the season over the left field wall after Nanno Fernandez had reached base on a pop fly that fell safely. After 1 the Cards gave him their decisive combing, Tobin regained his poise and set down nine of the last 10 batters to face him as he lasted through his 27th complete game of the campaign.

(AP) Brooklyn Dodgers, standing idly by for two days as St. Louis Cardinals boosted their National League lead to two full games, returned to action today to ease their sense of frustration at the expense of the hapless Pittsburgh Pirates, Warmed up by a slight pregame riot, Leo Durocher's team, although playing with one eye on the scoreboard watching the progress of the Cardinalgame, managed to follow the offerings of a half-dozen hurlers well enough to blast out 19 hits and a 10-3 victory, to remain two games out of first place. After the pre-game scramble Dodgers still were sizzling when Hank Gornicki served up the, first pitch for the Bucs, and before the first inning was over the 13,096 slightly apprehensive fans sat back and relaxed. Whit Wyatt would do all right, and the home boys had regained their missing batting eyes. Four, hits; including Dolph Camilli's 23rd home run, accounted for three runs in that first frame, and thereafter it was practically no contest as Wyatt kept the Buc hitters pretty well under control.

Frankie Frisch staged a regular parade of moundsmen, but he might as well have left in Gornicki. Gornicki lasted two innings. Bob Klinger couldn't get a man out in the third and was relieved by Lloyd Dietz, who went as far as the sixth. Luke Hamlin, Aldon Wilkie and finally Johnny Lanning were called in before it was over, and leach took his share of punishment. Every Dodger hit at least once.

Dixie Walker, in the lineup after being benched because of a hitting slump, got four for four, and Camilli sandwiched in two home singles between and his another first run in the eighth, his 24th, with two aboard. Score by innings. H. E. Pittsburgh 000 002 010-3 10 Brooklyn.

BUT WHEN THEYRE, IN TOWN ON ANOTHER VOTING LEAVE SPEND THIS MOST 19 OF WHERE THEIR THEY DOUGH. GIVE MORE US BUB. ROUNDS. TEN GALLERY The Realm A removed and last night beloved in the sports passing character of Peter was Gorman. It is the lot of few of us to live a more romantic life than Peter Gorman did; and the privilege of an equal few to have developed the same number of friends as this popular sportsman whose span embraced theatricals and the turf.

In both spheres he was a topnotcher, and though he first. achieved tame with his brother Jerry as a clog dancer and was identified with the stage all his life; it was the turf that held greatest allure for Peter and Jerry and Mike. It was of his days in the racing game that Peter loved to recall, and no one surpassed him as a spinner of yarns. Rarely if ever did such reminiscences concern himself. Few there were in the racing game during his life that he couldn't call.

a friend. Ranking above many of his great attributes was the faculty of developing a friend and, without exception, an admirer among those he met. His was a rich store of anecdotes of the turf and stage. On one of his last trips uptown before illness brought him down Peter dropped into this office. That was few years ago and his trip down memory lane was one of the most interesting and enjoyable experiences of those who sat in.

FOUR FIRSTS AND A SECOND. One of Peter's favorite stories was how they really broke into the racing game. His brother, Mike, another picturesque figure in the turf game, had left here as youngster. When Jerry and Peter embarked on stage career that was to gain for them a place among the foremost entertainers in America, brother Mike hadn't been heard from. Peter liked to recall how Jerry and he were dancing at the famous Palace Theatre in New York when they decided to drop over to Saratoga and see the races.

There they found Michael connected with one of the stables. Before the reunion was over Michael had interested them in the purchase of a horse. From there on the Gorman brothers were connected with the turf as successful owners, but above all trusted and popular figures wherever they went. There are a dozen and one interesting anecdotes of their operations in One of the most unique experiences cerns the time they won four races and placed one with four horses on the same day. ONE VICTORY AFTER ANOTHER.

That unique turf record was achieved down at the old Belair track in Montreal, back in the days when even a Dominion Day meet was only a five-event affair. On that holiday card the Gormans entered a mare named Sally in the first race and scored with her. In the next they repeated with horse named It looked like a Gorman monopoly when they tered Jaubert in the third and took first money. But they were only getting started by that time. Came the fourth race, a steeplechase, and the Gormans had that famous old star, Beechmore, ready for the fences.

Beechmore took that one for their fourth straight victory. They were prepared to call it a day when they received an unusual request from the track operators. J. P. Dawes, one of the directors, asked if they wouldn't help fill the.

card by entering one of their horses in the fifth and Anal event of the day. The Gormans only had four horses, so they sent the game Sally to the barrier again in the last race. She didn't win it, but she lost only by a neck in one of the most dramatic performances in Canadian turf records. Hundreds of friends will mourn the death of Peter Gorman- a grand personality to have known. REVIEW SUCCESSFUL SEASON: Back in the Spring of this year officers of the Ottawa- Edinburgh Canoe Club sat down at a meeting and discussed prospects for this season.

There was the best of reason to bit gloomy about the future. The club was in debt, the treasury was somewhat depleted and not even the more enthusiastic officials could see much future in continuing operations of an organization which has bulked large in the athletic history of the Capital. So bleak was the outlook that at one stage last March the Ottawa-New Edinburgh. Canoe Club came close to ceasing operations on the scale of other years. Some of the officials were in contact with the Royal Canadian Navy and offered the clubhouse to that service on a rental basis.

There was something like $25 in the bank and some outstanding debts, including a bill to the village of Rockcliffe of $400 for water rates and taxes. It the Navy took it over all the club asked was permission to build little temporary clubhouse near their courts for the purpose of continuing tennis activities. Sport -By BILL WESTWICK QUICK RESULTS NOTED. The fact the Navy did not. find the New Edinburgh clubhouse suitable to the needs of the noment probably accounts for the Burghs enjoying one of the most successful seasons in years.

A few of the officials decided to gO ahead. Four of them got together and contributed $100 apiece to pay off the water bill. There were still quite a few bills outstanding, but they decided to continue for another year. They organized a financial committee and countered by forming retrenchment committee. They advertised the Burghs for the benefit of newcomers to the city and then watched the results.

The latter were both quick and aging. So much so that 470 new members rolled for total membership of 725 for this year. Last night they made some comparisons at their annual meeting. The previous year's operations had resulted in a deficit of $500. This year members were told of an operating profit of 500 for the season officially concluded last night.

SERVE USEFUL PURPOSE. From that experience you can gather that the Burghs aren't considering suspending operations next year. They have had the help of energetic leadership and some, unselfish personal efforts by all of the executive. Bill Francis, who held the post of treasurer, was among those singled out for special and deserved praise. He accomplished an excellent job, but it was an allout effort by New Edinburgh officials responsible.

Burghs' experience isn't exactly unique. Most similar clubs enjoyed boom seasons. The tennis was popular, but the appeal of such clubs throughout the city was mainly in the social end. Hundreds and hundreds of newcomers to the city were attracted by the enjoyable and clubby surroundings offered. The appeal of such tentures will be more emphasized probably by next year.

These clubs serve a most useful purpose from the standpoint of recreation and physical benefits to be derived. Certainly the fullest advantage has been taken of their facilities throughout this season. United Pays $217.10 to Win Gotham's Longest Mutuel Price NEW YORK, Sept. Belle d'Amour, M. Slifkin's steadygoing filly, turned in the most impressive performance from racing standpoint at' Aqueduct today when she won the $5,000 Stony Brook claiming stakes, but what impressed the two-buck bettors was the triumph of.

Mrs. Dodge Sloane's United at the longest mutuel price of the New York season. Backed by only 210 ticketbuyers, United won the fourth race in three-way photo finish with H. P. Headley's Big Me and W-L Ranch's Bill Sickle, and paid $217.10.

for each $2 straight ticket. The year's previous high mark for straight betting was $198.90 for $2, returned by Dusty Man at Aqueduct last June. United had started only once before in his racing career, finishing last in a field of 10 at Saratoga. Belle d'Amour, making her 23rd start of the season, raced well to gain her ninth victory. Ridden by Apprentice Darrell Clingman, who brought home three winners in a one-day stopover between Narragansett and Havre de Grace engagements, she was rated well up throughout most of the mile and a quarter of the Stony Brook, and took command a furlong from home.

Officials of the league interviewed officers of both junior teams on Tuesday and at that time they were almost certain to pete. However, according to vener Cecil Duncan, at last night's meeting the two teams asked for more financial assistance than Rough Riders and the league were able to provide and consequently they dropped out.

Rough Riders and an Air Force entry from Uplands are detinitely ready to compete and it at least one more club can be secured the league will go ahead. Duncan claims the league will go ahead anyway, The benefit football program slated for Saturday Oct. 3 at Lansdowne Park will go. ahead which features practice game between last year's Rough Riders and the old-timers.

Pennant Race At a Glance By the Associated Press Both St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers won yesterday, leaving the Cards two games in front in the National League pennant chase. The Cards did it by trouncing the Boston Braves 6-2. Dodgers, snapping sharply their hitting slump, slaughtered the Pittsburgh Pirates With mathematics closing in, the Brooklyns found themselves in spot where they have to stay "hot" for their remaining 11 games and hope that the Birds start to slip. For, even it St.

Louis should lose four of its remaining games, the Dodgers would have to take nine of 11 to finish on top. Here the picture after yesterday's firing: W. To P. St. Louis 98 Brooklyn 95 48 11 Remaining schedule: St.

Service Soccer Teams Play Final Tonight The Ottawa United and Lansdowne Composites soccer elevens meet tonight in the deciding game of their best-of-three series for the O.P.W.

cup. In the first game of the series, the teams ended the game in draw. The second game went to Ottawa United by a score of 1 to 0. Percy Hall has been appointed to handle the whistle for tonight's game. Art Bailey will also be on hand tonight to put the United team back at full strength.

The public are invited to attend tonight's game which will start at 6.15 sharp. Better Golf By SAM SNEAD, Golf's Great Player-Teacher. The point to notice in today's golf picture, is that straight, left arm taking the club back in the wind-up. The left hand sweeps the club back and winds up the hip and shoulder pivot. The right hand is only a passenger at this stage of the swing.

It is not easy to make the difference clear in words but the picture shows good deal and if you'll make the experiment yourself you will see how the club, swung back and up by straight left arm, winds up all the muscles you are going to use in the downswing. Remember as you go back that the left heel rises so that the left knee is always even with the right knee. No sag in the left leg. If the left side sags, it is nearly impossible to put away a good shot for you will have dropped your head and shoulders as you swing back and will have to raise them as you swing down forward. Such action will make it almost impossible to deliver the clubhead to the ball with timing, with the clubface at right angles to the direction line and with the clubface correctly pitched for the loft of that club.

With more than a 100 members present for the windup of the most successful season in many years at the Burgh Club, Mayor Lewis told the gathering: "It's people's war too, and we can't ask the men overseas to do it all." Mayor Lewis made the remarks in recalling the physical fitness program initiated here in 1940.

Has Place in War. Mayor Lewis said that at the present time sport has a place in this war. "It is a safety valve at home; let them throttle down this safety calve and there is danger for the youth of this country."

"It is greater problem than many people His Worship referred to the large number of men turned down by the armed services through inability to meet the physical standards of the Army, Air Force or Navy and said that only 63 out of every 100 have been accepted up to 1941.
