Dodgers Beat Cardinals To Tie For Lead St. Loulx, Auk. IS tl'P* Brooklyn probably 1s the 'only tram in the National League that ran brat the Cardinals at their own game in their own ba kyard. when the chips are down, which was the reason today that Dura- • her'. darlings were rated a strong belting choice to cop the pennant. The rare ability of the patchwork Dodger* to play over their heads in crucial games stems straight from their boss, the fiery lippy Leo Durocher who learned hell-for-lrather baseball from ttvhell for leather Cardinals a decade ago und never forgot it. His managerial moves have kept company with magic all season long a* dps proved yesterday when the supposedly slipping Dod ger. ran over the Cardinals. 7 to 3. and right hack into a first-place tie with St. Louis. It's no secret that the odd col lection of youngsters and oldsters; wearing the odger flannels thisseason is not a great team. Carl' Furillo in center field. Bruce Ed j wards behind the plate. Howie i Schultz at first base are not pen nant-winning players in vital posi-| tions. But like the rest of the dashing Dodgers, a biting critic ism from Durocher, a "college try-lecture” or a slap on the back from their flamboyant hosa and they Itecome champions. They inherit a fire und a darh symbolised by Pete Heiser's willingness to run into a concrete wall after a fly ball that win games. Meanwhile it took the Cardinals 37 days to regain undisputed possession of first place and only two hours and 12 minutes to lose It yesterday as Kirby lligts- pitched the Ilodgers back into a first plat e tie. Durocher had saved his right handed ace for the job und he rose to spectacular heights at times to strike out six. yield only seven hits and score his "lucky 13th" victory of the season In the all-important finale of the Dod ger's final series here — giving Brooklyn an even break. When Durocher left beloved Flatbush with a two-game lead for their last western swing, he asked only that the Dodgers be able to head into Chicago not more than one game out of first place. They were one game better than that

I The Rotary manager listed three 1 men for each position and Inti- • mated that he expected to be forced to cal) upon each one — partly because of the Lions’ prow1 , ess at the plate and partly because of the wobbly underpinnings of his lads. Manager, Sauer exprttsed an almost egotistical confidence In victory for his aggregation In a short talk before the Lions club last night, pointing especially to an outfield combination of Halterman.

But frankly, it just isn’t possible to do that. There still aren’t enough new Oldsmobile* to go around. Due to shortage* in materials and unavoidable limitations on production, the output of new cars still is behind schedule. And our allotment* are far below the figure* that ,ve originally anticipated.

He mentioned the other day that he still can play chimpionshlp golf at 45 because he always took ft easy. I guess he is right. Byron Nelson already bae served notice that he Is dropping out except for a rare appearance tow and then. P G.
