§ 4 i \ § H RIDAY, AUGUST 8 1947 DODGERS IN GREAT SLIP; LOSE AGAIN By JACK HAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) Brooklyn's weary Dodgzers, their 10-game lead sliced to four by a series of disasters in Chicago and Boston, stagger back to home cooking tonight, banking on a .700 winning record at Ebbets Field to half “their toboggan slide. World Series talk has evaporated and the question of the day in Flatbush is “what's the matter with the Dodgers?” The fellow who knows the answer could com- mand a princely salary from Pres- ident Branch Rickey. While the Dodgers have been losing six of their last seven since sweeping three at St. Louis, the world champs have racked up seven straight wins to cut six full games off the Dodger ‘lead. Red Barrett, a choice target for Leo Durocher's barbs in other years, tripped the Dodgers all by himself yesterday, throwing a three-hitter and doubling to start the Braves' winning rally, 3-1. Giants Win Again The Giants took another fall out | started Hank Borowy on the way to his ninth loss The Boston Red Sox, who open a last ditch stand tonight against the New York Yankees, whom they itrail by 13'% games, warmed up |with a 12-2 slaughter of Washing- 'ten. The Sox lambasted Farly Wynn, Marino Pieretti, and Scott Cary for 15 hits, including Teddy Williams' 25th homer. Sam Mele, Johnny Pesky and Sam Dente each contributed three hits to the at- tack. Only 698 cash customers braved the 96-degree heat to watch the St. Louis Browns lose another one, this time to Chicago, 8-4. Red Buifing received credit for his 272nd big league triumph with re- lief help from Pete Gebrian. A scheduled Cleveland at De- troit game was rained out and the other clubs were not scheduled on the fitst entire daytime big league schedule on a weekday in months. - -ee League Leaders Leaders in the two major through games of yesterday as follows: In the National League, Batting,— Walker, Philadelphia, 347; Cooper, New York, .322.

Gallons (bulk) $1.00 Very sharp increases in the cost of basic dairy supplies and freight charges to Alaska to Juneau Dairymen has brought the cost of milk produc- tion to the highest inthe history of dairyihg.
