Brooklyn Cuts Cardinal lead To Half Game New York. Sept. 23 tl’P) Th* Dodgers may baa "team of destiny" but they still have to prove it today to skeptics who can't forget that Brooklyn tea ma since 1940 have had an irritating habit of folding up in lh»« stretch. Five times in the past seven years. Brooklyn has been in first (dace at the July 4 mile poet, hut the 194 ft, '42. and '45 teams faded in the final going. And the odds were increasingly heavy today against the 1946 outfit Joining the 1941 team which managed to squeeae through to the pennant. The embattled "Bums” were a bare half game behind the first plate Cardinals. But the race wasn't quite as close a« it api>eared to be. The Cards have six games to go and have suffered oue less defeat than Brooklyn. lienee any combination of six Cardinal victories and Ikslger defeats will bring St Ixmls the pennant. If the Cardinals win fire and lose one of their ganu-s. the Ikslgers still will have to win all of their five even to gain a tie The Cards cattwin four and lose two and the Dodgers still would have to win all five to take the flag without a playoff. The one hopeful sign for Brook ■ lyn and it might he wishful think - ing is that the Cardinal pitching ; staff seems weary Only two mem - ben. Murry Dickson and Howie t Polled have l>een able to go the I route in the past 12 days and Pollet was bumped around yesterday In dropping a 7 to 2 decision to the Cubs. The Cubs pounded Pollet and three successors tor 12 hits. Bob Sturgeon hit a double and a homer while Hill Nicholson smashed a triple to start off a three run sixth Inning rally. A team of tamer stuff than the Dodgers might have folded after a bad break which gave the Braves a 4 to 2 victory in the first game yesterday, but the ‘Hums" fought hack and took the nightcap. H to 1 behind 14'1 Vic Lombardi's fourhit pitching The break came in the sixth Inning of the opener with Brooklyn ahead 2 to 0 und Kirby Higbe pitching superbly. After Tom Neill, a rookie, had started the inning with a single. Tommy Holmes hit a hard bounder which went for a single. Phil Masi scored one run with a fly and pinchhitler Jack Barrett put over two more with a single. Pitcher Johnny Bain, who won his 20th game, drove In the fourth run with an infield out. A four-run second Inning rally, highlighted by Iximbardi's double, put the Dodgers over in a hurry in the second game. Danny Litw Iler's homer was the only run off Iximliardl. Dixie Walker hit

Pittsburgh. Sept. 23—(UP)— Greyhsirwl Hill McKeihnie, only man ever to win major league pennants in threw cities, wax expected today to take over a new job ohortly probably as pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates after his dramatic resignation as manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

He said he had decided to make the announcement liefore the end of I hi- current season In order to make himself available for any future baseball jobs. He made it plain that he wanted only to be considered for a managerial post That be would return to Pittsburgh where he directed the Hues to a pennant in 1925 seemed most logical The new management of the Piratm has indicated that manager Frank io Frisch will be replaced and it wan understood th.,!
