Cards Defeat Dodgers 4th Game In Row Casey Stengel and Charley sen are among the few managers \ they haven’t got around to firing; yet in the major leagues this hec, tie season, but the things w’ere going for him today, they could well be envying the other guys who got thdvpQot. For it looks as if the panic could; be on for-both the Yankees and; Dodgers. , . -I ' Despite'the fact that both-still . hold comparatively leads, the immediate future looksnoiubgtoo bright. Both Stengel and Drejjjn 'couldn’t be blamed for wishing they didn’t have the cares that werp lifted from the shoulders of Tommy Holmes of the Braves, Rogers Hornsby of the Browns, Eddie Sawyer of the Phils, Red s. Rolfe of tho Tigers, and now_Luke Sewell of the Reds. Hornsby, a bear for trouble, bounced back into action as Seweß’s successor, but the others at the moment are enjoying peace of mind .which can’t be shared by the pilots of the two league leaders. Brooklyn, which knows more painful experience about collapsing contenders than the Yankee enr\ i>ire. suffered the. bigger case of jitters. Whipped into submission four straight times by the up-and--2 at’em Cardinals, their lead was reduced to four games over the idle Giants after Holiday night’s 3 to 2 defeat. It was the sixth defeat in the last seven games. \ I The Yankees are in their workt 1 slump since Stengel took over the club in 1949. They lost five in a row for the longest losing skein 'jn his regime, won a second game of { a double header to. > snap that in Detroit, then lapsed into bad baseball again Mondatv to lose a 1? to 2 decision. What cfliuld console them, howevjer. is that, they still are three games ift/front of second place Cleveland, whereas at this time a year ago,{they were just a bare half game ifr front of runnerup Boston. Brooklyn, however, had a fat and growing lead of nine games at this time in 1951. - In the only other major league game Monday, ol’ Satchel Paige started his first'game of the season for the Browns after pnany distinguished relief performances and he gained a 6 to 3 victory over Washington. It was Paige night at

Until theft, he yill contihu\e his scouiing trip while one of the coaches, probably Earl Brucker, runs the team. The signing of Hornsby astounded the baseball world because the one-time great slugger apparently had been “black-balled” as a manager when the Browns dropped him on June 10. Brownie President Bill Veeck announced then that the players had presented him with a placque calling the firing of Hornsby “the greatest play since the emancipation proclamation.” In St. Louis, Veeck said Monday night that he was “happy to hear that Hornshy had been hired and wished him luck.” Paul, in his first year as general manager, said Hornsby’s contract run's through 1953 and strongly Indicated that Rajah’s uncompromising attitude toward the game—the reason he was fired by the Browns -+-was the very reason he was hired by the Reds. “He iis \-baseball through and through;, dnd he has demonstrated th'pt winning is paramount with him.” Paul said in a join| statement with club owner Powell Crosleyi v
