With practically everybody spec- ulating on the probable outcome of the benefit carnival of champ- ions feature event, pitting Gundar Haegg, the Swedish champ, against Dodds, the divinity student, and Bobby Madrid, stellar California distance galloper, the views of the university of Southern California cinder mentor stand out.

“I've been WfllCfl-Ilq iJodds and he's in top shape," reported Crom- Weil- “Dodds ran six laps tastel- than Heagg ran the same distance in their recent Chicago race, and he seemed to have plenty left, So ;the Swede may be getting more than he bargains for tomorrow.

"Dodds ran throu h a. mile on Bovard Field 4:29, t en added two ;70-second laps to finish a mile and one-half in 6:49. This is two 5e0- onds faster than Heag ‘s mark for [this distance il-i the m dwest.

Bards Defeat

Braves 7-0

NEW YORK, July B —(AP) - Mort. Cooper faced only 23 men and pitched three-hit ball as he led St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-0 victory over Boston Braves today at Boston. It was Cooper's 11th win of the sea-

son.

The Cardinal ace never was in danger after his mates teed off on Red Barretti in the first inning, when they scored four times. Coop- er fanned four Braves, issued no walks and allowed only one runner to get past first base.

In Brooklyn, a surprise squeeze- bunt by Billy Herman with the score tied. bases loaded and two out, climaxed a four-run 10th inn- ing rally to give Brooklyn an 8-7 victory over Pittsburgh.

The Pirates apparently had won the game by scoring three runs on four hits off Ed Head and Kir- by Higbe in the top of the 10th, but the Dodgers bounced right back against Bob Klinger, fourth Pirate hurler, who failed to retire any of the five men he faced.

Although Ernie Lombardi socked out five hits in five times at but, including a two-run homer in the ninth to tie the score at 3-3, Chic- ago Cubs beat the Giants here for the first time in six games this

and the other on the same date at Cubs getting the winning two runs
