FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1949 TOP IN NATL. LEAG. RACE By RALPH RODEN The Brooklyn Dodgers held the' upper hand in the Nation League's pennant scrap today while the American League’s scramble re- mained a dead heat between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Brooklyn, pre-season favorite to cop the National's bunting, roared into the lead yesterday by mopping up the 1948 kingpin Boston Braves, 9-2 and 8-0, while gthe St. Louis Cardinals lost again to the Pitts- burgh Pirates, 7-2. The Dodgers’ killing in Boston toosted * the Brooks half a game ahead of the Cardinals. Brooklyn has two games fleft to play with the third place Phils in Philadelphia while the Cardsihave three to go! with the last ce Gubs in chl-i cagce. While the Dodgers ascended to the top of the National League, rain kept the Red Sox and Yanks tied for blue ribbon honors in the American League. New York's game with the Phila- delphia Athletics in the Stadium was rained out as was the en- counter etween the Red Sox and the last place Senators in Wash- ineton. The two American League con- tenders are scheduled to play ott tneir washed out.games today. Brooklyn had no trouble in whip- ping the Braves yesterday. Warren Spahn, the National's only 20-game winner, gave Preacher Roe, crafty Brooklyn lefthander, a run for his money for three in- nings in the first game. H Tied, 0-0, going into the fourth,| the Dodgers ripped Spahn for nvel runs. Duke Snider drove home the first three with his 23rd home run. The nightcap was settled before Sibby Sisti stepped up to open Bos- ton's half of the first inning. The Dodgers whaled into Johnny Sain, | Boston's 1948 pennant pinup boy, in their half of the first, ‘scoring five runs. Don Newcombe’s victory was his 17th of the season. Little Murry Dickson, a once be- | loved member of the Cardinal pitching staff, spiked his former mates’ pennant hopes. Dickson hurled a brilliant six- hitter while the Pirates banged Gerry Staley, Howie Pollet and Ted Wilks for nine blows. It was Dick- son’s fifth triumph of the year over the Cards. The Pirates broke a 1-1 tie with a four run rally in the sixth. The Cleveland Indiaps trounced the Chicago White Sox, 8-3, in the only other game played in either league.

Stantord’s :ophomores probably will make this a rugged fray but the Wolverines appear a touchdown better. North Carolina over Georgia. Tulane over Georgia Tech. Dartmouth over Penn.

The Huskies can view themselves as unfortunate and the Stanfords, ‘t'e‘s ‘em, are at least hopeful. These two games merit national attention, but an encounter in Los Angeles tonight between Oregon and UCLA may prove an important facter in the Pacific Coast Conter- cnce Rose Bowl race. Rounding up the remaining games involving conference teams, California gets its first league test against once-beaten Oregon iEtate at Portland, Southern California’s potent looking Trojans have a similar date here tomorrow after- noon with Washington State, Idaho heads to the Scuthwest for trouble with Texas at Austin and Montana a date with Utah State at Logan, Utah. The San Francisco Bay area, which Palo Alto may refer to as a suburb of the Indians’ farm, is pretty well steamed up on Stan- ford after her 44-0 roll over Har- vard. Ceach Marchie Schwartz has centured a prediction that the Stan- fords could upset Michigan. The Washington Huskies had the misfortune to choose Minnesota as a ‘tune-up” game for Notre Dame | —score, Gophers 1¢, Washington 20 —and why the Washington ath- | letic brass goes for a schedule like that is a mystery. The Oregon-UCLA game looks like a real test for both teams. B.B.
