Cards, Dodgers Keeping Pace In Pennant Drive

St. Ixtula, Mo.. Rept. 24 — (UP) ■ Th<* St I anti s Cardinals. hang ing on to a half-game lead In their pennant battle with the Brooklyn Dodger*. faced an old man from Cincinnati today who hoped to have them haiigiiix by their neck* The old man *u Deuton Bill McKeehnie. who resigned Sunday as manager of the Bede, but positioned hi* departure until after a two-game series with th»- Cardinal* in order to make a gallant fare well aland again*' a team battling fur the fiag. Because of hl* longstanding feud with the Brooklyn Itodgera, M<K echnle feel* that triumph* ore; the Cardinal* would be victorias of vindication, squaring hint with Dutlger fan* who insist that he "pointed” bl* team for the re-! cent bitter series in Brooklyn In, which on* Katie- went 19 inning* for a V to 0 tie. McKecbal* doesn't deny that the Red* Were “Up” for their guttles with the liodKrra and that he came back with hi* ace pitcher, Johnny Vandermeer, In the repay of that marathon game which the Dodger* won. Vundertneer will be hi* starting pitcher tn one of the games, probably toniKbt'a, and he will use one of his more de|>endabie veteran*. Bucky Walters, Ed lleusser, or Joe Beggs for the other. For the Cardinals, who won eight games and dropped five In a not too impressive swing through the east, manager Eddie Dyer will have to gamble with George (Red) .Munger, batted out his last two starts and in one relief appearance, in one of the game* with the Reds. Mury Dirckson. his most consistent right hander, will work the other. The moat encouraging item fur the Cardinal* was the stout-heart-ed 1 to <» victory that Barry (the eat) Brecheen turned in yesterday in the team's final road gatno al Chicago. The Cubs threatened time and again, tagging the southpaw artist for nine hits, but he Itore down when the going was the toughest | to beat them for the fifth time in sis starts this Henson and the 13th in iti times he has faced them during his career. .Moreover, he drove In the ouly run with a single in the third which scored battery-mate Joe Garugiola. Garagioia had opened the inning with a single off loser Hank Wy*e and moved up on Marty Marion'* sacrifice. Dyer, still concerned over his pitchers, named Howie Pollet. hi* 20-viclory left hander, as the man who would have to pitch them to the flag. Although Pollet pitched against the Cub* and wa« beaten Sunday, he will be used in relief during the series with the Reds if he is needed. And he will start Friday's corftest with the Cnbs. If the battle goes down to the final day of the *ea*on with the outcome still in doubt. Pollet will go again on Sunday with only a single day's rest. o— Dickey And Ruffing Released By Yankees New York. Sept. 24—(UP)—Bill Dickey and Charley Ruffing, heroes with the Yankee* in the happier yearn when New York was the scourge of the major leagues, were out of baseball -perhaps forevertoday as younger men moved up to replace them. Both were released unconditionally by the Yankees yesterday. DDT Formula DDT in pure form or in an improper formulation is not a good insecticide.

BULLETIN New York. Sept. 24.—(UP) —The scheduled game between the pennant • seeking Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philladelphia Phillies was postponed today because of rain and will be played Thursday —an open date for both clubs. N.-w York. Sept 24 (UP) Deep in the heart of Flatbush I >day the die-hard Dodgens stuck to their guns, fully aware that they must lie .400 percentage pointe better than the Bt. Ixtul* Cardinals in their remaining games to win th>National ix-ague pennant. A* things stand now, the only way Brooklyn can <upturn the pen hunt without a playoff i* to win jail four of it* remaining games, , playing at » 1.000 pace white the Cardinal* are winning three of j their five for a SOO pace. If the Cardinals win four games they can clinch a tie and a sweep of their five games will put them in regardless of what the Dodgers do. The Dodgers were tired and jittery when they took the field against the fighting Phillies yes terday and for seven and a half inning* they had a hard time hold Ing their own In a tehM pitching battle between Rube Melton and lefty Ken Raffensberger. Then the sco'elxtard flashed the 1 to o St. lx>uis victory over the Cubs at Chicago and the Dodger* forgot they were weary. They put on a five-run rally with a weird and daring collection of bunts and cheap hits for a C to 1 victory. The first safe bunt was an accident. Carl Furillo had walked and Peewee Reene was trying to sacrifice him to second. ID- bunted — too bard for a sacrifice-and Raffetixberger came charging in, seeking to snatch the ball and try for a double play or at least a force out at second. He charged too hard and the hall went over bis head for a single. Catcher Bruce Edwards did sac i rlfice, sending the runnena to seclend and third, and Howie Schultz wan walked. .Manager lx*o Durocher called on a raw rookie, Stan Rojek. to hat for Melton and he came through by dumping a Texas league single behind first to score Furillo. Eddie Stanky brought in Reese with a squeeze bunt in front of the plate which he beat out for a hit. Then came the only solid hit cf the inning, a sharp single by Cookie Mvagetto which scored Schultz and Rojek. Augie Galan brought home the fifth run with a long fly which ecored Stanky. Hunch player Durocher called on dark-horse Melton, saving his better pitchers for later, because big Rube bad lieaten the Phils three time*. Although he was in hot water frequently he came through for hl* fourth triumph against them and his sixth of the season. In tbe only other major league game yesterday, the Yankee* topped the Athletics at New York. 1) to 4. Rookie I-arry Berra hit his second homer in as many days. ■ . Q I.H —I.

Louis Favors Zale To Beal Graziano New York, Sept. 24 (TPi-Joe Ixvul* picked Tony Zai« today to, retain his world middleweight crown againwt Rm ky Graziano at Yankee Stadium Friday night. Lovis told reporters at th>» 20th Century Club: "I like Zale because I know what he's got. He'u proved against good middleweight opponents that he's smart, ragged, game. ■ and that he's a dangerous puncher I “I'm not sure what Rocky's gut because he made hi* reputation fighting welterweights: but he looko too open—too easy to hit—to ' beat un experienced knxk-out puneber like Zale ” The 32-ycar-oIJ heavyweight champion admitted that some sentiment might be governing hi* choice of the 32-year-old mid dieweight king, whom he had known and respected since they fought on the same Chicago golden gloves team* back in the early 1930'5. Promoter Mikn Jacobs said all indication* pointed to a gate of more than |400,f)00 for the Zale- i Graziano bout. This would lie larger than the |BM,M3 attracted by Louis and Tarot Mau’-leilo. The reserved-seat ticket range was the same far both bouts from 85 to |3n Th" betting price favoring Graz j iano ha* been pared down to 8-H to 5. Wagering is heavy. Book-1 makers believo that the two fighter* will go into the ring at nearly even money, or with Zale perhaps being a alight favorite. Champion and challenger were examined yesterddy by Dr. Vincent Nardiello of the New York commission's staff. He sail both were lug good shape, and that Zale exhibited no aftermath of the back ailment which caused postponement of their bout when he was scheduled originally for July 25.
