Dickson had a cool head and hot band as he went into the game in the sixth with the bases loaded, none out and the Phillies threatening to beat the Cardinals for the second straight time. The little right, hande: from Leavenworth, stopped that uprising a run short of a tie blanked the Phils on two hits' the rest of the way to gain a 5 to 4 victory-his fifth in a tOw. Dickton, who had beaten the Dodgers this week in a 12-inning starting assignment, has made 28 appearances this saeson, winning four starting roles without a loss and has three relief victories against two defeats in rescue jobs.
Stan Musial clinched, last night's Cardinal victory with run in the he put across by sing- ling, stealing second and going to third and home on successive inDeld outs. Whitey Kurowski hit a boccer earlier to touch off a four up fourth inning rally. The Dodzers, dropping their sixth straight game at Cincinnati, 4 to 2, relinquished the lead by half a rime, They had held it since May although the Cardinals were tled (Ninth of 12 illustrated instructive dispatches written for In Tomorrow's Race TOMMY HINNERSHITZ Tommy of Reading, who has copped many prizes at Indianapolis, will show in the auto races here tomorrow afternoon. first victory since returning from military service, although he gave up eight hits compared to five that the Yankees gained off Stan Ferens and Newman (Tex) Shirley. The Indians put over six runs in the second, three on Goerge Case's triple in a 7 to 3 viotory over the Athletics at Philadelphia.
Les Webber, former Brooklyn hurler, gained his first Cleveland victory. for the lead on May 23. Brooklyn errors figured in the Cincinnati scoring as pitcher Ed Heusser, ending a slump, gained his seventh victory after losing three in a row. The Braves retarded the third place Cubs at Chicago, gaining a 9 to 3 victory behind Bill Lee, who pitched a six-hitter and scored three runs with a bases-loaded single. The Pirates finally beat Lefty Dave Koslo of the Giants, 7 to 3 at Pittsburgh, partially squaring accounts for the four defeats he had handed them previously this season.
The first homer by Catcher Al LOpez in two years featured the 12- hit Pirate attack in which Frankie Gustine also homered. Ernie Lombardi got a Giant homer. Rookie Gil Coan hit an inside the park homer at Washington to give Dutch Leonard a 1 to 0 viotory over Dizzy Trout of the Tigers In fine duel in which each pitcher gave up seven blows. The Red Sox scored their 12th victory in their last 14 games, 3 to 2 over the White Sox at Chicago, Tom McBride doubling home pitcher Mickey Harris with the deciding run in the sixth. Harris gained his 13th win.
The Yankees remained 11 games behind the Red Sox by winning, 3 to 1 from the Browns at New York on the margin of Joe Gordon's Fun homer. Mel Queen pitched his U. S. Open Champion (As told to Ned Brown) Short irons, numbers seven, eight and nine, are used for pitch shots that require a sudden stop. The nine iron is used for blasting out of loose sand traps.

Mary Patten took up the glasses and carried them to the kitchen, feeling, she realized, a little like an intruder. She had let it become Nettie's domain; Nettie's loyalty, trustworthiness and long years with her had made it unnecessary to check on her or supervise her work. On Nettie's days off she and the girls usually had eaten out, somewhere.
Nettie had gone out, not know where whether to church or to the movies or to visit some friend; all she knew of Nettie's life was the service the woman gave her! Suddenly Mary Patten felt too alone. She left the kitchen, went up the stairs to her own room and began to undress, without haste, yet with a queer urge to hurry. Ready for bed she chose at random a book from one of the low shelves next to the fireplace. She would read until Charle in. Charie- -she held the book so tightly against her that it hurt her flesh.
Where was Charie? "If she were with Ollie I'd know!" But this Trent RennerHer anger came back with the effect of driving out of her heart every feeling except Charie's need of her. part of her usefulness to James Muir was in foreseeing possible situations. Now she considered Charle's inevitable awakening to her folly. Reno touched the edge of her mind, but she rejected it with distaste. There were other places where she and Charie could go and establish the necessary residence.
Meanwhiie She heard the door close, Charie's step on the stairs. "Charle!" Charie crossed the room to the side of the bed. But she moved as if she were in a trance; her eyes seemed to look beyond her mother. "Sit down on the bed. I've been thinking of this idea of your living in Trent's room Mary Patten kept her voice affectionate, only mildly protesting.
She took Charie's hand to draw her down to the edge of the bed. "It seems so unnecessary, with all these empty rooms here and Nettie and me alone in them Charie took her hand from her mother's. "Tre just been down there, Mother. And I'm going there to live with Trent. I'm going to begin packing my things tomorrow." Charie spoke from her trance; her eyes still held their look of seeing something beyond the walls of the room.
Mary Patten winced but she kept her smile on her lips. "If you'd wait until Saturday to pack, I could help you, darling. Anything I can do, or anything you'd like to take from here Charle was not listening. She bent and kissed her mother. "Goodnight, Mother." Then she turned and walked out as she had come in.
Mary Patten opened her book. "My poor baby," she whispered to the page before her. Lloyd Mangrum blasting from trap.

Approximately 195,000 head of sheep graze in southwestern Wyoming.
The famous astronomer Gallleo disliked science when he studied it as a schoolboy. "Your table looks lovely," Doug, coming into Flo's room. "I'm glad to see you taking an interest again in entertaining." Wait till the bills come in, darling! But Flo did not say it aloud. She said, "It's for Charie, Isn't it?" "I'll bring up some champagne. We must drink to Charie's happiness." The bright line of red Flo was putting on her lips shaped scorn.
Champagne for happiness! And Charie buying pots pans at Woolworth's. Charie had told her, the other day, of going into the five-and-ten with Trent. "He was simply ridiculous. He had to know what every little thing was -wanted to everything in sight. Even the clerk was laughing!" It was after that she had gone to the florist's and ordered the ,30 arrangement of sweetheart roses for the center of the table.
Called Bruce the caterer, and added to A menu and told him to send a man to serve. She wasn't interested in the party, now that the evening had come. It had amused her at frst, to plan it, to think of Ollie Kingdon and her mother sitting in on the celebration, to show Charie by a reckless extravagance in her preparations what she, herself, had thrown away for love. But now even that anticipation was gone. was coming back.
She slipped on a dinner dress quickly. It was new and Doug would her she looked lovely, like the table. Doug came in. He had a dressing room adjoining her room but he came to her door. "Anna says there's a man to serve.
Good. It's going to be a very nice party! New dress? That green is your color. Very lovely-" "Oh Lord!" breathed Flo and went past him out of the room. Usually, seeing her living room like this, waiting for guests, she enjoyed a definite stir of pride. But tonight her only feeling was a sudden dislike of it all.
With the realization a queer cold fear went through her, "Why, nothing has any meaning any more!" She stood very still, fighting the truth of it, fighting the queer cold ir. her. There were voices outside. In a few minutes they were in the room, Blink Matthews and Beth Meadows and Margot Wilmer and three young men, all talking at or.ce. "Where's the bride?" "What was the idea, Charie pulling one like that on us!" "Tell us about Trent Renner, Flo.
Are we going to like him? If we don't-" The room came to life with their voices, but no warmth of it touched Flo. Doug came down. Others came, Ollie Kingdon with Charie's mother. Charie came alone. "Trent will be little late," she explained, "He had to talk to a man going through on the Twentieth Century and then go to the city room." She offered the explanation awkwardly, as if it were 8 language she did not know very well.
Bremerton, Wash. (UP) POlice Sergeant Paul W. says that some people never learn to take a hint. He observed a motorist completely disregard a stop-sign and a rel light here, told the driver to "So he's standing you up as soon as this," laughed Jack Waring. But Trent came, almost at once.
Flo put him next to her at the table, and Cole Giddings on her other side. But she left them to Beth and Blink. Beth Meadows obviously was captured Cole's Hamlet manner and Blink was wholeheartedly gathering Trent into the close ponta she and Charie had shared since school days. Trent was unresponsive to her efforts. Flo noticed, and now and then Colo threw her a reproachful look, but she did not put in a word to rescue either of them.
She looked down the candle-lit table. "A first act. It was all here, what had promised Cole Giddings. It was in the too-fixed smile on her mother's lips. In' Ollie's cheerfu Hc'd shaken Trent's hand cordiality intended to show what a good loser he was in or a golf game.
But he was it. Charie's friends had pressed around her, kissing her, clamoring to know more, declaring they were hurt to the quick because she had kept this man a secret from them, but there had been a reserve under the noisy demonstrativeness and an avid speculation in their appraisal of Trent, when he came. Trent Flo brought her eyes back to Trent, studied his face as she saw it half-turned to Blink's. She liked him. She had liked him on the instant of meeting him.
And had known as quickly that he was different from these other young men. Flo looked at Charie, next to Doug. The candlelight gave her skin the softness of a child's; she listening to something Doug was saying with a child's polite attentiveness, but kept glancing at Trent with a little covert anxiety. "She's afraid he'll do something out of order!" The young man at Blink's aide had succeeded in engaging her tention. Flo touched Trent's arm.
"Don't eat with your knife, darling. Charlie's watching you. You see it's awfully important to her what impression you make on us tonight!" She let scorn for Charie's anxiety into her voice. And just for a flash it was on Trent's face. Then he grinned.
"How am I doing? I rented these monkey clothes and I had to get Into them fast. Do I look all right?" Flo's laugh was quick. your tie it could be straighter!" She gave Trent a friendly look. "I'm going to like you, Trent." "Thanks." Trent said it dryly. Flo said quickly, in different tone, "Oh, I know what you're thinking--that it doesn't matter in the least whether I do.
or not. It doesn't, of course. I wasn't being nice to you!" Cole Giddings leaned forward. "You'll And out soon, Renner, that our lovely Flo is rarely disposed to be as she puts it!" A hot color flew to Flo's face and paled as quickly. He was punishing her for her neglect of him, she knew.
