Durocher Sees Dodgers Down Cards, 1 To 6 New York. May 7. (I’P) Il was a highlv debatable subject in Flatbush today whether Lippy Leo Durocher’s oral support from the grandstand was more inspiring for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the St Uiuis Cardinals than his moral support from the bench. Durocher, who Is temporarily unemployed, went to the hall game yesterday and yelled hl* head off like practically every other fan in Brooklyn and together they helped pull the Dodgers home to an uphill. 7 to 6 victory In their first meeting with the Cardinals wince they were knocked out of the National league pennant in last autumn’s post season -playoff serie*. The suspended Dodger pilot, barred from baseball for a year by commissioner Happy Chandler, was accompanied by hl* movie actress wife. Laraine Day. who did a little yelling on her own and shattered a bag of peanuts in her acquired enthusiasm for the great old American game. It may or may not be significant that the Dodgers beat the Cardinals in this highly important first test, whereas last year with Durocher at the helm they dropped 16 out of 24 games to the Card! nals including the pair whiuh knocked them out of the pennant. The tailend world champions, who now have the inglorious record of three victories against 12 defeats, needed this one badly as a “shot-in-the arm" and It looked as if they would get it when they scored six runs on rallies in the third and fourth off btarter Joe Hatten and Hal Gregg.

But they didn't reckon with the clutch hitting of Pee Wee Reese, whose average Is a measly .184. and sophomore Carl Furillo. Reese gave the Dodgers the victory when he hit hl* first homer of the campaign in the seventh after Furillo had tied it at 6-all with a bases-

loaded triple. The plight of the Cardinals is pointed up by the fact that last year they went all the way to May 26 before losina 12 games and at that time had 20 victories. And they picked tip three victories in their first four games. Yet it was the “slow start" of the Cardinals in 1946 which nearly costUhem the pennant since they didn't hit their flag stride until after July 4. The Braves knocked Pittsburgh out of second place and moved up into a tie for the spot with Chlca go. by handing Kirby Higbe his first Iwating as a Pirate, 6 to C. as Johnny Sain pitched a fourhitter in the season's first night game at Boston. Higbe, traded Saturday by the Bodgers. was knocked out as Boston capitalized on homers by Barna Rowell and Karl Torgeson. The Cubs came from behind to top the Phils at Philadelphia. 3 to 2. when Tommy Hughes weakened in the late innings to suffer his fourth straight loss. Singles hy Kd Waltkus and Bob Scheffing put over the winning margin for Cub hurler, Emil Kush, who scattered eight hits. The Reds ended a four-game losing streak by outslugging the (Hants at New York. 11 to 6. The Giants, who had won three straight, committed four errors as Cincinnati made 12 hits off six pitchers. Ray laimunno's three hits for the Reds drove in four runs. The Red Sox made it three in a row at St lamin with a 6 to 5 victory over the Browns when Ted Williams hit a homer in the ninth to tie the score at 3-all, then put his team ahead to stay with a three run homer in the 11th. A tworun homer by Jeff Heath in the Brownie half left St. I-ouis a tally short. The Tigers also used a homer to win. kiddie I.ake smashing it in the eighth to produce a 3 to 2 victory over the Yankees at Detroit. Relief pitcher Hal White held New York scoreless with two hits for the last three innings to gain the victory. Bill Dietrich came back to Chicago to plague the White Sox who cast him adrift after 10 seasons, blanking them on five hits as he pitched the Philadelphia A's to a 3 to 0 triumph. The defeat ended a four game Chicago winning streak. Another castoff. Bingo Binks, led the A's at bat with a triple and two singles, driving In two runs. Yesterday's star—Ted Williams of the Red Sox who gave them a « to T> victory over the Browns , with a three run homer in the 11th after his ninth inning homer tied the score at 3-all. 0 4-H Dairy Calf Club Meeting On Monday The Adams county 4-H dairy committee has arranged for county wide 4-H dairy calf club meeting at the Albert Lehman farm stß p.m. Monday.

May 7 —(UP)— Seven college track roaches were mentioned prominently today as contender* for the Joh of tutoring the United Htafe*’ olymple track and field team In 1948.

Dean Cromwell, whose university of southern California team was i "loaded;" Brutus Hamilton of California: Leo Johnson of Illinois; j Emil Von Eiling of New York university; and Charles Hoyt, the former Michigan and Yale track mentor now retired from active coach- ' ing. Speculation about the probable i choice favored Robertsoh on the basis of his previous successful Olympic experience, although Cromwell and Littlefield had plenty of i backers due to the [tower-house aggregation* they have put on the cinder* this season. Johnson, whose team was expected to furnish some of the star* of the American team In 1948. was tegarded as a ’’little too young" to win the Job of coaching the allstar squad.
