Today s Sport Parade By Jack Cuddy (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.l 1 |) - r ® New York. Aug. 21 il’Pl— Aa the Braves opened their crucial Tour-game series with the Dodgers, today, Alvin Dark declared that his Bostonians were ready to crack down on the opimsltion. instead o! cracking up. The 840.000 shortstop, who appears the rookie <>r the year, laughed down the insinuations of .NewYork baseball writers that the Braves were ready to collapse. How could the Braves crack up, asked "Boston Blaikie ' as he began cheerful surgery upon a slice of breackfast ham at his hotel. "How could we play any worse than we've been playing for the' past month? Why. we haven't ‘ been playing .500 ball during that time. Everyone knows we're a better club than that.” Moreover, there were two specific reasons why the athletic Louisl-1 ana lad with the dark brown hair could predict an up-surge. First, the injury list is growing smaller. Catcher Bill Salkeld and outfielder Clint Conatser are back in the line-up. Eddie Stanky. secTrade In a Good Towi. — Decatur

ond baseman. Is slated to return next month. Second, the club ncßy has its back to the wall and will put up a terrific fight to protect Its firstplace lead, which bad dwindled to one game over second rung Brooklyn before today s contest. As an after thought Alvin added, "and Warren Spahn Is back in old time pitching form, lie'll be a big help from now on." The 25-year-old rookie was one of baseball’s biggest gambles when the Braves signed him on July 9, 1946. Hia baseball experience had been limited-to college and sandlot play. Three years in the marines had prevented minor-league ap prenticeship. Dark was permitted to remain with the Boston club for the re mainder of the '46 campaign; then FRIED BABBIT • Potatoes and Gravy • Vegetable • Salad • Dessert 75c Saturday Nite BLACKSTONE CAFE & BUFFET
