Senators Only Half Game Out Os League Lead New York, Aug. 23—(UP)—They don’t call owner Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators the “Old . Fox” for nothing. Borrowing a page from the book of Sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cards, Griffith today lias his ball players hustling for a world series cut that would be more than many of them will make for an entire season. Wherever the Senators go in their swing about the American league circuit, fans, writers and opposing teams are impressed by their spirit and hustle. It's the same kind of spirit that has typified Cardinal clubs for years and is born of desperation. If a player has a chance to double his money just by lauding in the world series, he is likely to bear down ami that is just what must be buzzing through the minds of the clouting capitoliahs as they get closer and (doser to first place. Today they were only half a game out after another double header victory at Cleveland. 3 to 0 and 6 to 5. yesterday. That ran their current winning streak to five straight games. The five-hit shutout by Roger Wolft in the opener was the third blanking job in four games by a senator pile her. Winding up their final western swing with 13 victories out of 20, the Senators won the first game on the margin of a homer by George Myatt. Wolff himself drove in the other runs, getting two hits and a sacrifice as he wort his 15th game. The Nats knocked out Steve Gromek with four runs in the first inning of the second game but couldn't hold the margin. Cleveland pecked away at Santiago Ull rich and I inally tied the score with ; two rune in the ninth on a homer | by Mickey Rocco and doubles by j Lambert Meyer and Les Fleming. j Mickey Haefner gained his second I win in as many days, pitching I

In the second game, the Browns handed the Red Sox a 5 to 4 victory on loose fielding and wildness by pitcher Weldon West, who walked six men. Mike Ryba won bis fifth victory although he had to have help from rookie Dave Ferriss in the ninth when George McQuinn’s two-run homer came within a run of tying the ecore.

Brewers Tie For Asociation Lead By United Press Last year’s pennant winning Milwaukee Brewers moved into a first place tie with Indianapolis today after a series of upsets in the American Association. The Brewers owed their position largely to the St. Paul Saints who eliminated Indianapolis’ lead with two victories in a doubleheader to more than offset Milwaukee’s singleton loss. The Sain’s won a 4 to 0 shutout victory in the seven inning twilight game with the Indians behind the three-hit pitching of Dick Lanahan. In the second contest, Indianapolis spelled its own defeat with three fielding errors for a final 10 to 4 score. Columbus took a narrow 7 to 6 triumph from the defending champion Brewers to even the standings. At Kansas City, the last-place Blues showed a bit of championship form when they won a bargain with Toledo, 4 to 3 and 10 so 4., Clarence Marshall was -the winning pitcher in the first game, and newcomers Edson Bahr was credited with the nightcap victory. In the only other American Association contest, Louisville took an easy 11 to 4 win from the Minneapolis Millers O —— o | Today's Sports Parade By Carl Lundquist I Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O O New York, Aug. 23 — (UP) — Cannon - mouthed Leo Durocher, whose histrionics on the ball field have brought him stage and screen offers, will have a hard time trying to find a job that will pay him more money than he gets for managing the Brooklyn Dodgers. Durocher comes a long way from being Brooklyn boss branch Rickey’s favorite manager, but before the 1945 season ends he may become the most high-priced pilot in Major League history. Rickey, who has more angles than a geometry text-book, heard the hue and cry of the baseball writers this spring when they came to the Dodger training camp and described the club being assembled as “the w’orst ever to represent the National League.” Not even the most rabid Dodger supporter among the scribes could foresee a higher finish than the second division for the babes in the Major League woods that Rickey had assembled at the camp. Unperturbed, Rickey left the burden of proof as to whether the writers were right or .wrong to Durocher, who in many ways has .become the Dodger “whipping boy" If what the writers said was true, the Dodgers were in for a terrific financial beating at th'e gate. But if the team could make a race of it. there was a strong possibility that it might have its most profitable year. Hence Rickey offered Durocher a one-year con’ract on a bonus basis. His base salary was reduced from the previous year but Rickey stipulate ed that when the Ebbets field attendance reached 560,000 Durocher was to get an extra $5,000. From then on, whenever the attendance went up another 100,000 Durocher received another $5,000. With the receipts now past the 900,000 mark, Durocher has cashed $25,000 in bonuses already and gets a "double feature” SIO,OOO bonus when the turnstiles hit one million. Since his base pay reportedly was $20,000, he is almost certain to make a flat $55,000 for the year, which would make him the highest salaried manager of all time. It was a terrific gamble for him to take. If the Dodgers had been as bad as they were made out to be, it isn’t likely that the season’s attendance would have reached 500,000. It was up to Durocher and he delivered. That the Dodgers, de spite a recent bad slump, have managed to stay in the first divi sion verges on the miraculous. Yet the spirit has been high and the club played far beyopd expecta tions until its home stand closet against the western clubs. , Moreover, Rickey has the nu cleus for another contending clut I in 1946 with a number of current performers slated to stick and witl such pre-war stars as Harold (Pet Wee) Reese, Pete Reiser Kitty Higbe, Cookie Lavagetto, Mickej Owen, Rex Barney and Hugh Casej slated to return from the service Whether Durocher will remaii is, as always, problematical. Tha > he has remained as long as he ha is surprising in view of Rickey’ distaste for some of Durocher’ doings. But both have profited from th current season, more perhaps tha any other Major League club ea cept the Tigers in the America: League, who have already hit th million nark. It is axiomatic i baseball that it doesn’t make muc ’ sense to break up a winning con bination. o Missouri has an area of 69,67 squat® miles, ranking the state th 18th largest in area in the Unite | j

Specialists Io Aid i In Polio Epidemic Six Northwestern Specialists Called Rockford, 111.. Aug. 23—(UP) — Six members of the Northwestern University school of physical therapy were expected here today to join the fight against infantile paralysis which has caused 19 deaths since July 1The northwestern specialists, called back from their vacations at the request of the Rockford chapter of the National Foundation for infantile paralysis, will be equipped with hydro-therapeutic tanks for underwater massage, local health officials said. Dr. N. O. Gunderson, city health commissioner, said that eight new cases were reported in Winnebago county yesterday, bringing to 167 the total number since the outbreak began nearly two months ago. Gunderson also disclosed that an additional two tons of DDT insecticide were expected from the army today. Previously, the city had been sprayed from specially-equip-ped trucks and from the air in the hope of eliminating flies, believed to be carriers of the poliomyelitis virus. Meanwhile, Rockford health officials waited fearfully for a possible increase in cases as a result of the city’s victory celebration a little more than a week ago. Polio experts said that the incubation period for the disease ranged from seven to 14 days and that the next few days, herefore, would determine tha effect of the gathering in the possible spread of the disease.

Army Declares 252 Plants As Surplus . Facilities Available To Private Industry Washington, Aug. 23 (UP)— The army today declared surplus 252 government-owned plants costing an estimated $1,484,352,337 and the navy was getting ready to do the same with 134 other plants. These facilities will become available for purchase or lease by private industry and will help considerably in providing the additional facilities needed to achieve the tremendous postwar industrial program envisioned by the administration. The war production board already has modified its construction control order to permit industrial building which may reach an estimated total of $4,500,000,000. WPB, however, has not yet relaxed its restrictions over private home construction, commercial and governmental buildings but it is under great pressure by industry to do so. In”many cases it. will be necessary to retool and re-equip the surplus war plants for production of civilian goods. In others, only some slight changes arts needed for a changeover to peacetime output. Representatives st seven top industry organizations, at a meeting with WPB chairman J. A. Krug yesterday, urged cancellation of controls over private housing and other restricted buildings. There was a possibility that WPB might revoke these controls by Sept. 30. The 252 plants declared surplus by the army today cover nearly 50,000,000 square feet of ground and were used to produce aircraft, tanks, explosives, artillery and small arms, chemicals, steel, radar and radio. They will be available for disposal shortly through the reconstruction finance corp.
