The Yankees, only one of four contenders winding up the pre**-ute-paiked season in their home park, took on the fifth-place Athletics. who will pitch Dick Fow- ( ler instead of their sore-armed light hander Phil Marchildon who was originally assigned the vital contest. Ed Lopat. and artiful lef-, tv. who had won 15 games, was manager Casey Stengel's pitching choice. In Washington the Bed Sox took on tho suddenly spunky last 1 place Senators, whom they have beaten 17 out of 21 times. Ja< k Kramer fated a former teammate, Fat .Mickey Harris, a lefty who went to Washington early in the season and who has won only four game* while losing 13.

Yesterday he hurled six-hit ball while the Hues were rapping (Jerry Staley Howie Pollet and Ted Wilks for 10 safe blow* in luding three by Pete Castiglione and a homer by Wally Westlake. So the Cardinals, who had led by a game and a half as recently a* last Monday and who at that time were 1 to 6 favorites to win, drop ped out of the lead for the first time since Aug 16. And the Dodgers who played brilliantly in atrocious weather, showed brilliant recuperative powers after being down and nearly out last Sunday. In this final week of the wildest season of them all. each of the four teams has been counted out of it. yet all are hanging on right now for dear life The big men for the Dodgers yesterday in their rain-soaked triumphs were Preacher Boe and Don 1 Newcombe, both pitching brilliant ' iy as at any time in their careers. Boe. given benefit of an early 3 to 0 lead on Duke Snider's three run homer, hore down while he had to. then was able to coast Carl Furiilo also blasted a three run homer as the Dodgers treated Warren Spahn. the league's top winner with 21 triumphs like a batting practice hurler In the second game, called in an eerie mixture of fog. rain and darkness after five innings. Newlombe pitched four hit ball and had to beat not only the Braves hut the dock Hurrying to get the game in before it would have to be railed because of the elements. the Dodgers were forced to contend with flagrant stalling: tactics by the Braves Slbby Sisti on one occasion deliberately refused to complete a double play and the Braves loiter-' ed at length going to and from j their positions. They built a bonfire in front of their dugout to show plate umpire George Barr they thought the game was a farce, being played under such conditions Second baseman Connie Byan came up to bat wearing a raincoat and when Barr ordered him to take it off. a verbal rhubarb ensued, which found Ryan getting tossed out of the game The victim in the second game was Johnny Sain, last year's Bos ton a< f In the only other Major game yesterday, the Cleveland Indians defeated the Chicago White Sox.

Sept SO, (t’Pi - Two pennant playoffs were a distinct possibility today for the first time In major league history and .the sudden death manner in which . the race* will lie decided was a *ap at the supposed fairness of lug 1 league baseball. Provided that both league* wind up with a deadlock Sunday night here is the situation: The Red Sox and the Yankee* would play only one ante to decld-* the winner of the American Lea- , gue flag 1 The Cardinals and the Dodgers J would play only one game to decide I the National League’s standard hearer In the World Series Which sends the eventual National League winner into the series exhausted physically and mentally while the American League winner has had four extra days to rest if i It takes three games to settle the National League issue Ford Frick, president of the National League, admits that It is an unfair situation but explans that "it Just never ha* been disciis*ed at the major league meetings. ‘ It would seem high time that the owners got around to it. Their argument Is that in the 45 years the two leagues have met In World Series play there never has been a double deadl<M-k. They'll admit it has always been a possibility and they're running a business In which the fans deserve tin* best they can be given The first tie in major league history was when the Cards ami the Dodgers wound up all even in 1946 The Cardinals won two in a row to go into the series. The American League had Its first draw In 194 S when Cleveland and the Red Sox finished in a tie The Indians won the one-game playoff Now it would seein fairly obvious that the boys are out to form a habit If there are two deadlocks on Sunday night, the American Lea '.tie
