Both ‘learns A Lose On Final Day To: Force First Tie ’ In History

sw was ad ed to the record iooks of baseball today as a com- plate 154-game major league sea- '.l0ll wound up in an exact tie for "the first time when Btubouis Car- - inais -and Brooklyn Dqdgers fin- ’ hed in a. dead heat for the Na- tional League pennant.

By bowing to Chicago Cubs 8-8 yhile the Brooks were being shut out by Boston 4-0 the Cardinals backed into the frsi, three-game- "lay-off ever staged under the eague rules.

Although the 1908 season had ended in a furore with the league president ordering a replay of the disputed Chicago-New York ame in which Johnny Evers iris ted Fred Merkle never touched second base, this was a different situa- tion. In the current instance each club completed its entire playing chart and the three-game set open- ing here Tuesday afternoon rcp- rasmts unscheduled action.

For Manager Eddie Dyer and his Cardinals it was another day oi wasted opportunities, just as they have been "blowing” chances for the last two weeks. each time the Dodgers have lo ,

The largest crowd of the season, 34.124 paying iians. which had boosted the cash customers for the year to 1,086,871. saw the Cards muff their opportunity.

It took a left-handed pitcher with an infected toe on his 1a foot to knock the Birds out oi an outright championship. Johnny Schmldtz had been left behind in Chicago when the Cubs came down for the final series but had been discharged from hospital Saturday and hurried down to put his per- sonal whammy on Dyer's weary CFPW.

Schmltz hurled two-hit bail for the last five innings after allow- ing six blows in the first four and stranding seven Cards on base up to the fifth. And he made sure oi hie 11th victory and fourth over Si. Louis by a base hit off Stan Musial's glove that, combined with an error, broke the back of tho home club in a five-run sixth inning.

“Bums” Lose

BROOKLYN, Sept. 20- (AP)_ The Gowanus ran with tears today and from Ccney Island to Can- hi-sie the sobs of the Fiatbush f-‘ithiul rent the air as they feared their Brooklyn Bums had lost their last chance at the 1940 Na. tlonal League pennant by bowing 4-0 to Boston Braves.

But when word came from St. Louis that the hated Cardinals too had lost iod-ly-B-Ii to Chicago- tho faithful raised sodden eyes from their beer-mugs and looked orward with renewed zest to an lmprccedented season play-off.

URO. N. S. Sept. 20—Ei‘foris tr. declare a Nova Scotia senior baseball champion ran into an- other snag today when it was announced that the protest filed on the last game of the Middleton Cardinals-Halifax Shipyards play- olf had been upheld.

As a result o-f this latest decis- ion. disclosed by President A. J. Mason of (fie Nova Scotia Amat- eur Baseball Association, the play- ofI picture was even more deeply entangled than it had beeen on several other occasions during the last month.
