It was molstly cool, occasional wisps of steam ghosting from the shower room door, and the spasmodic roar of the rowd was a dim • echo as the Dodgers battled the Cardinals out in the hot sunshine which flooded Ebbets Field. Bony Marty Marion of the Cards rubbed a sore back which had for red him out in the third Inning.

"I'd be willing to listen for three weeks —which we'd have to for him to get a hit and win the game,", Garaglola cracked Nobody said a word. And the gloom clamped tighter as Baker went out and the Dodgers came to bat, able to win and unable to lose. For this game had to end in this inning so both teams could catch trains. There were two quick outs and then Carl Furillo singled and Jackie Robinson walked. Th«dressing Cardinals all held their I breath.

Reese snorted. “1 swear I’ll have ulcers. And look at this. I get a birthday card and it says: ‘Happy Birthday. Mother'" The Dodger captain tossed the card on a chair and stomped off to the showers. Yes. the Cards were glad aad the ’ Brooifs were mad. The reason? it simmers down to their respective pennant psychologies. The Cards, a team of creaking veterans, are hoping to stay right there with the Dodgers until they 'hit the stretch. If they’re breathing down Brooklyn's neck there, they figure they'll take It. The Dodgers know they have to get winging, and build themselves up a cushion. It puts the heat on awfully early. Trade In a G k <4 Town — Decatur
