Dodgers Beat Giants, Fifth Victory In Row Npw York, June It. (UP) Dodger President Branch Rickey’s statement supporting his peppery pilot, Leo Durocher. indicated today that he either has hat} a change of sentiment or that lie definitely doesn't want to break up a winning combination. Maybe" the fact that the Dodgers are riding a winning wave and that they are just a half game out of first place had something to do with Rickey’s confidence in Du <>■ cher at a time when he is involved in court action tor allegedly slugging and breaking the jaw of i critical fan. At any rate the Dodgers are hufltllng as they h'.en’t since they heat the Cardinals out of the pennant in 1941 and Rickey's statement that ‘'when our men are in trouble, we will stand by them” is the staunchest backing he has given Durocher since taking over op-

eration of the club shortly before 'he 1913 season. Maybe it isn't co-incidence either. But Rickey, a shrewd business man, likes a winner and the miracle of the current motley crew being barely behind the leading Ciants may have convinced him that Durocher is an outstanding manager. ' The Dodgers, almost unanimously picked for a lower second division finish, were at the peak of their current winning wave of five straight and six wins in the last ' seven games, when downing the Giants. 3 to 2, last night. It took the Phillies 15 innings in the second game of a double header at Boston to end their 16-game losing streak, winning 5 to 4 after the Braves’ had won their ninth .straight with an 8 to 3 victory in tile opener. Mort Cooper pitch'll his second victory in four days in the opener for his sixth of the season without a loss. The Cards raised their world championship flag at St. Louis before Commissioner Albert (Happy) Chandler, then dropped their game to the Reds, 2 to 1. Castoff Joe Bowman won his third straight, since being waived out of the American League by I lie Red Sox. Rudy York came out of a prolonged slump with three hits, including a homer, to lead the Tigers

to a ti to i vii tory over the Browns al Detroit. The victory increased their league lead over the Yankees to a game. Even more cheering i than York's power display was the ’ news that Capt. Hank Greenberg, • premier Tiger slugger, soon may > he discharged from the army. I The White Sox made some timely hits off Cleveland ace, Steve ? Ormnek, to beat him, 5 to 3. at . Chicago as Joe Haynes scattered . 14 hits, Cass Michaels, with a . long fly and hie first big league hot mer, drove in two Chicago runs. Boston at Philadelphia in the American was postponed and the . other teams were not scheduled. Yesterday’s star—Rudy York, Ti > ger slugger, who came out of a slump, hitting a homer and two ■ singles to bat in four runs in a 6 to 4 win over the Browns.
