N. S. Sports Writer) New York- The Brooklyn Dodgnow four games behind, are defnitely beginning to display secondEvision symptoms. Parson Rickey benignly pontificates on the Value of. his club (keeping a fierce trip, meanwhile, on the strings of is moneybags) the young men to whom he has assigned the task of winning the pennant are finding he going increasingly tough.

Unless men of such caliber as Augie Galan and Dixie Walker hit in the lutch, or the opposing pitcher sudlenly melts under scattered fire, the Dodgers are more or less likely to' dd another item to the lost colima. Take Tuesday's twilighter. The Dodgers outhit the Chicago Cubs, safeties to 10, but still lost, 9 This might be due, in part, to the insistence of Brooklyn's executive rm on working Rube Melton to the hilt. Remembering that the Rube. chalked up two victories in three days not long ago, Melton, who pitched five innings against the St.

Louis Cardinals Saturday, VaS started against the Cubs and vas promptly scuttled. He faced live men, walked three, gave up one alt, then bowed out to Lee Webber the first inning. Under Webber's kind touch the Cubs piled up a 5 to 0 lead at the and of the second, gathering in four nore on Ed Head, who twirled the ast three innings. Claude Passeaul, ithough nicked for 13 hits, went ill the way for Chicago, Meanwhile, the Cardinals were getting along in their own humble ashion by thrashing the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 to 0, behind the hree-hit pitching of Harry Gumpert. Only one Philadelphia baserunner passed first as Gumbert hung up his fourth straight triumph.

The Cards sewed up the game in he first inning, pouncing on Jack Kraus for three runs. Another saga of great pitching written into the books as Al lavery hung up his second straight hutout of the season, the Boston Braves whipping the "Cincinnati Reds, 1 to 0. Javery's pitching accomplishment was made possible, paradoxically, by his own batting, ince he drove in the game's lone un. The tally came in the second. AftClyde Kluttz doubled and the next two -batters went out, Javery ingled in Kluttz.

The Reds were limited to six hits by Javery, and he Braves collected the same numper off Ray Starr. Moving into the American League, he Detroit Tigers 16 inrings against the Washington Sentors and won, 4 to 8, on an error ind a walk. The score was tied, 2-2, going into the 16th inning when the Sentors pushed across a run. In the Ligers' half Roger Cramer scored rom third when Gerald Priddy Jumbled -Dick Wakefield's grounder. With the bases loaded, Bob Harris walked and Henry Oana trudged home with the winning run.

The Cleveland Indians blanked he Philadelphia Athletics, 2 to 0, Tuesday night behind the four -hit pitching of Southpaw Al Smith. This was Smith's seventh victory against only two losses. Dropping their third straight deeision to the -New York Yankees, the St. Louis Browns allowed the Yanks to increase their American League lead to three full games, Marius Russo and Johnny Murphy ed the New York club to victory.
