The second-place Cardinals match Brooklyn by recalling OF Erv Dusak. Cards’ owner Sam Breadon responds‚ “They can have their Newsom‚ but I’d rather have Dusak. He has been one of the most sought-after players in the minor leagues.” Dusak‚ however‚ hits just .185. After going 24-9 in July and 25-8 in August‚ the Cardinals are still 3 1/2 games behind Brooklyn. Brooklyn beats Pittsburgh today‚ 4 – 2.
