Patty Berg wins Minneapolis a Patty Berg Youthful link Star won the women a Western open Golf tournament by defeating Dorothy Kirby Atlanta one up in 36 holes. Yankees Cain slowly on tigers Chison As nats slip since the Early Days of the season the experts in the National league have been predicting that the dodgers should fold up and let the cardinals go unhindered As the top club in the circuit. All signs Point to them doing just that. After a disastrous week in which they dropped five straight before taking two from the cubs in a twin Bill the rickety dodgers went out and blew a Beauty to those self same cubs the boys that Are usually first cousins to the ebbets Field mob. While the bums Are creaking and groaning and giving signs of coming apart at the scorns Billy Southworth Gas House gang steam merrily along their Way to the second Pennant in a Row. The cards Are four games on top now their pitchers Are All working Well and Stan Musial and Danny Litwhiler continue to beat the cover off the Ball. Musial freshman sensation of last year is coming up with two and three hits a Day most of them for extra bases and is leading the league with -129. Litwhiler is second in Home runs for the league with nine. Pirates have Chance the rest of the league Rolls along going no place in particular with the pirates seemingly having the Only Cliare of doing any tiling about the race. Eight games Back of the cards their possibilities Are none too Good As they Haven to shown anything the would make them look like a a Pion ship calibre in the Only games played Iii inc National league Boston and Cincinnati split a doubleheader. The reds won the first 5-1, behind the three hit hurling of Elmer Riddle. The braves handed Bucky Walters his ninth defeat As Casey Stengel screw took the Redlegs into Camp 4-2, behind Manny salvos five hit hurling.

Yesterday Spud Chandler handcuffed the Browns with Bix hits to give the yanks a 2-0 Victory and a clean sweep of their four game series. Tigers roaring practically breathing Down til champs neck when they started their Western swing the nats have managed to drop eight out of la games leaving far too Many men stranded on the base patios and generally giving the idea that they be almost shot their Bolt. The senators were clouded 9-1. By the Detroit tigers who thereby ousted the nats from second place and delimited Washington Iii fourth place a percentage Point behind the surging White sox. Detroit has now taken nine of its last la games. With Cramer Wakefield and big Rudy York furnishing the Power the bengals Are out to make it Tough for All opposition and really get in the thick of the fight with the bases loaded and two out in the 14th inning Wally Moses stole Home to give the White sox a 3-2 win Over Boston. Johnny Humphries went the full distance for Chicago and permitted the red sox Only eight hits. Mike Ryba who replaced Oscar Judd in the eighth was the losing twirler. The whole american league race is reminiscent of the usual scramble in the National league. The Only club that really looks to be out of the race is Connie Mack s hapless athletics.
