I i I I nl 'I uoagers Kouna rnns In Twin Bill, 14-0, 5-4 Higbe Hurls 7-Hit Shutout in Opener While Case Rescues Allen in 9th Inning Of Nightcap-Reiser Slams Out Five Hits By TOMMY HOLMES Staff Correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle Philadelphia, July 4 The Dodgers said it with bats this afternoon celebrating Independence Day right here in the town where the Declaration was written and adopted. They played 17 carefree innings and one anxious one as they beat Hans Lobert's woebegone Phils by scores of 14 to 0 and 5 to 4. Klrby Higbe flipped a tasty shutout in the opener and long-chinned Johnny Allen was doing almost as well in the after-piece, until the Phils staged a brief but furious revolt in the ninth. A four-run lead all but disappeared before Hugh Casey, the burly fireman of the Brooklyn pitching staff, got matters under control. And, at that, Casey needed a bit of luck to get out of the jam.

With the tying run on third and two out, he reached up and defected Earl Naylor's hot smash through the box. Peewee Reese grabbed the ball and threw Naylor out at first by a step to end the game. Tola Rose, $33.60, Upsets Whirlaway Record Crowd of 34,728 Wagers $1,428,791, New High at Empire By JOE LEE It was Army-Navy Relief Day at Empire City yesterday afternoon, but there was no quarter asked and no quarter given in the running of the $30,000 added Butler Handicap won by A. J. Sackett's Tola Rose with Whirlaway second and Swing and Sway third.

Tola Rose, in winning, set a new Northey Hits for Circuit The Phils were the first to score in the second inning when Rizzo missed a shoestring catch of Northey's low liner and the ball went through to the fence in right for a home run. But the Dodgers blasted Ike Pearson out in the fourth by scoring four runs on passes to Rizzo and Camilli, Herman's single, Owen's double and an error by Shortstop Mamie. Pete Reiser lined his sixth homer of the season over the right field wall off Naylor in the Brooklyn ninth and that run, far from superfluous, became the margin as Allen faltered. Allen got the first man out, but Glossop doubled to right and Koy tripled over Reiser's head in center. Litwhiler doubled to left, two- runs were in and Casey trudged in from a hurried warmup in the bullpen.

Northey flied to Medwick, but Livingston singled, scoring Litwhiler, and Ben Warren followed with a hard smash through Herman. Then came another hard-hit ball, but Casey's glove deflected it to Reese and Peewee did the rest. Jayvees See Action The Quakers had no difficulty living up to their rapidly growing reputation as the world's worst ball team in the first game. While Higbe laughed his way along, four Phil pitchers Naylor, Nahem, Hoerst and Beck were whacked for a total of 17 hits. Four Philadelphia errors added to the track record for the mile and three- UNNECESSARY ENERGY Harry Donning slides into second base on his double to center which went past Eddie Miller in third inning of Giants' first game with Braves at Polo Grounds yesterday.

That's Al Roberge with his back to camera, awaiting throw from outfield. Miller, with cap in hand, seems a bit puzzled by it all. Giants scored three runs in that inning and won this game, 11 to 5, and the nightcap, 3 to 2. sixteenths, covering the distance in 1:56 4-5, to better the mark set by Lovely Night. The winner paid $33.60 and was ridden by Willie Mehrtens.

A new betting record for the Empire City course was established when the crowd poured $1,428,791 into the mutuel machines, despite the fact that bus service to the track has been curtailed. Whirdaway, the favorite in the betting, left the post at 3 to 5. but the short turns, with the stretch to match, found the handicap champion just a little too late in the final drive for the money.

July 4 (U.R) Pitcher Mort Cooper's nine-game winning streak was blasted today when Jimmy Foxx homered with two on base in the fifth inning to climax a five-run attack as the Chicago Cubs won over the St. Louis Cardinals, 6 to 5, in the first game of a doubleheader. Cooper's defeat left the Cubs still the only club in the league he hasn't beaten. They have beaten Cooper twice. The Cubs executed a double steal to score in the first inning.

The Cubs' attack in the fifth began after one man was out. Vera Olsen walked, Stan Hack doubled and Phil Cavarretta walked, filling the bases. Lou Novikoff doubled, scoring Olsen and Hack.

Every one was Whirlaway minded, and when the gallant son of Blenheim II started to make a bid at the head of the stretch, the crowd were on their fert shouting "Come on, Whirly," but Willie Mehrtens was out winging for the honors and withstood all challenges. Tola Rose grabbed off the lead from the beginning, holding a half-a-length advantage over Swing, Sway and Vagrancy as they passed the quarter, with Bay View and Paper Boy close by.

The rules of racquet decorum were strained to the Meaklng point midway in the match midway In the match when a sun-baked, shirt-leeved crowd of 8,000 at the West Side Tennis Club booed officials who refused Riggs the right to put on spikes.

Walter Pate, Davis Cup captain and tournament referee, tested the turf and ruled that pikes were not necessary. The officials remained adament nd the crowd continued to show its displeasure whenever close decisions went against the little, black-haired belter. The farce continued as Budge nd Riggs teamed to win the doubles championship from the clowning Kovacs and Bruce Barnes, 26, 63, 64, 62. Midway in the final set Kovacs, too, demanded that the players be allowed to wear spikes. Refused permission, he staged a ten-minute sltdown strike before resuming play as the crowd booed lustily.

When play resumed Kovacs continually argued with the crowd and was showered with -00000002 02 -0 0000000 00 Cincinnati Pittsburgh to throw Hecht off stride by playing the Czech's type of game. Lad-islav's answer to this was to change his tactics entirely and force Vinny to make mistakes on which his opponent capitalized. Although he was defeated Paul went down fighting hard. Masterson and his high bounding service had Segura puzzled for a spell but once the aLtin from Manhattan solved it he got in effective licks. His terrific return shots of lobs frequently caught Masterson out of position.

But for two serious wild streaks in each set the school prof might have fared better. Segura surprised the gallery by employing his famous drop shot on but two occasions an deach time it paid dividends. MURPHY. Error Elliott. Runs batted in Walker.
