Dodgers Youth Against Cards Vets For Flag New York. July 23 (UP) It was the Dodger "youth movement" against the Cardinal “old reliables” In the National league today. Brooklyn led the league hy five games, with New York second. Boston third and St. Louis fourth. 6-'4 games out. but most Dodger players have admitted privately that the only team they really fear la St. Uiuis, the defending world champions. And most baseball experts go along with the Brooks, feeling that the Giant pitching will hurt New York more and more, and that Boston's butterfingered defense crosses out the Braves' neversay-die spirit. Yesterday's games followed that pattern. Brooklyn, which drew much criticism last season when it thrust youngsters into key positions, found those youngsters in the fore-front In a 12 to 1 slaughter of Cincinnati Ralph Branca. exNew York University pitcher, won his 16th game against seven losses, tossing a seven hitter to beat Red Lively. Two other members of “Rickey's kindergarten,” Bruce Edwards and Gene Hermanski. led the batting attack. Hermanski batted in four runs with three hits and Edwards drove in two runs with three hits. Each scored twice. The Cardinals depended on their proven campaigners in walloping the New York Giants, 10 to 5. Harry Brecheen. a great clutch pitcher, went the route and was backed by hard hitting by Stan Musial. Whitey Kurowski and Marty Marion. Johnny Mixe hit a tworun homer for New York In the first inning, and in the fourth inning was hit on the head by one of Brecheen's pitches. The Injury was not serious, and doctors said he suffered neither fracture or concussion. Musial tied the score with a two-run homer and Kurowski put the Cards ahead to stay with another fourbagger. Marion and Brecheen each hit two-run singles in a big fifth inning that won the Mime. It was Rrecheen's 12th triumph. The Braves and Chicago Cubs split a doubleheader, each winning by 2 to 0. Red Barrett pitched the Boston victory, a four-hitter, and the Cubs got the second game when errors by Hank Cantelli and Nanny Fernandes allowed two unearned Cub runs. Claude Passeau pitched the whole game, the first Cub hurler to do,so in 17 games. The Phils • Pirates game was rained out.

Today's Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) | 0 — —O New York. July 23 —(UP) — Right field ever has been a strong spot for the New York Giants, with men like Ross Young and Mel Ott. sll it seems about time today to recogniz*- the fact that tradition la being upheld by a quiet, unobtru slve young man named Willard Marshall. Talk of the polo grounds and the conservation Immediately turns to such colo.ful stars as Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper, particularly when the accent is on hitting. But Marshall, who < aine up for a visit and stayed on like a hungr, relative, Is the lad who proUdes rhe coup de grace for the Mize-Coop*i\ one-two punch. Statistics ordinarily are sleep-produc-ing but take a look at these: Willard Is leading the national league with 74 runs hatted in. three more than Mize and four more than Cooper. That also puts him 12 ahead of the Arne:’.can league leader. Joe Dimaggio, and 13 in front of the mighty Ted Williams. He also is second to Mize In homers. trailing big Jawn's 27 with a pressing 25. Currently belting the ball at a .293 clip, the 26-year-old Virginian is repaying Ott for the faith the little manager had In him last season when everybody else was ready to give up. Ott didn't, and neither did Marshall, and the rest Is another bit of baseball history. The diamond saga of the six-, foot, one-inch southerner started when he left Wake Forest college and joined the Atlanta crackers of the southern association. He wan big and fast and he could hit. so Atlanta president Earl Mann put a 150,000 price tag on him when the major league scouts started moving In. It frightened most of them away so Marshall spent a second season, 1941. with the Crackers Then he was taken up with the Giants for a look, after the price was cut to 130,000, and Ott kept him on. He hit .257 and 11 homers. made the all-star team as a rookie and success seemed assured. Then came ‘the war and Willard was off with the marines for three years. Returning last seasox, Marshall was a terrible disappointment early in the campaign. But Ott stuck with him and said: "Willard, right field Is yours. Take it easy.”
