Dixie Walker never gets another birthday present, he'll still be ‘way ahead of the game,

Dixie reached the ripe age of 31 today and celebrated with a sev- enth-lnning triple with the bases loaded to send Brooklyn's DfliflVzd "bums" to a 4-2 triumph over Bos- ton Braves.

That was the ball game and an- other nall driven into the ccliiii of St. Louis Cardinals’ pennant hours. The Cards snut out Pittsburgh uIiLB again. 4-0 but could not slice an inch off the 1 1-2 game margin

three games left.

Up to that inning the game nad been a tight pitching battle between Kirby Hlghbe, who also collected a presunt in ills 22nd victory although .1. wasn't his birthday, and Jim '10- bin. The Braves pushed across a pair of unearned runs in the fourth inning on two hits and two errors to give Boston the lead 1t carried into the seventh,

Joe Medwlck opened the seventh with a, blow to Eddie Miller's rigiit. The Boston sliortsto handled it cleanly but his off- olanoe throw too tlate and Ducky beat it out

Lavagetto flied to Cooney, but Pee Wee Reese greeted Tobin with a single, Medwick holding second. Lew Rig s batted for Mickey Oiwn and hit s arplv to Miller. who threw to Al Etoberge, but Umpire Beans Reardon called Reese sate to un- cork a. terrific argument in which most of the Boston team joined.

' West, who had come in fast to snare his liner in the third, edged in close behind shortstop. ‘rncn Walker got hold of a fast pitch and drove it high and far into left field. At Pittsburgh, lean Harry Ghllkl- bert, a pitcher with a. sweeping curve and a stout heart, preserved St. Louis Cardinals’ fading pennant changes by blanking Pirates, 4-0 on x widely scattered hits.

HughesAwardedBoutWith lLortie While (Wichols And Korman Wrestle To Druw

In one of tlic most spectacular‘ wrcstlLng bouts ever witnessed in Charlottetown, pflplllil!‘ Cowboy “Leii" Hughes of Northampton, was awarded the decision over internationally known Purl Lnrtle of Montreal in a fast and exciting main bout at the Sport- ing Club last lfght. With two falls out of three awarded to Lortie. the referees decision was reversed when Hughes refused to leave the ring claiming that he had taken the last fall.

It was one of the most thrilling- climaxes ever seen as. with both fighters having won a fall. referee Jackie Nichols, after having been knocked out of the ring, crawled in on his hands and knees and counted Hughes out as he was pin-

ent. It was when Hughes. with a. flying leap through the air that missed lmtie, struck the referee a- midships that the latter was hurl- ed through the ropes and into the crowd. The Cowboy then succeeded in getting Lortie's shoulders on the mat and, although the referee saw this take place. he was out of the ring and unable to count the Mon- treal grappler out. However, when he did crawl into the ring still dazed the positions were reversed and Lortle was declared the win- ner. Hughes protested loudly and the crowd was behind him almost one hundred per cent as Llortie llad toppled the popular wrestler over by grabbing his hair.

All through the contest Lortie used his knee with telling effects des- pite the persistent wsmings of ref- eree Nichols. However. when Hughes threw a couple of solid right-s in the direction of his jaw. Lorrie began running out of the ring.
