McComb bounced right back, however, counting six times in the second inning on four walks and three hits. Orv Reed was called to the mound, succeeding Bright, and pitched brilliant relief ball the rest of the way, scattering five hits and allowing run.

Leo Durocher Still Hopeful Os A Miracle By UNITED PRESS The Giants looked into the future brightly today because of three farm boys—Clint Hartung, Jim Rhodes, and Al Corwin. It is the “immediate future’’ that interests Manager Leo Durocher who never was one to “wait for next year.” And he thinks the results obtained already give him more than a mathematical chance fpr a second straight miracle. Down nine full games to the Brooks after splitting Wednesday’s .day-night doubleheader, the Giants will go like fury to come close —let alone catch up. But the performance of the three men in the 8 to 4 night victory after Brooklyn’s opening 5 to 4 triumph made Leo beam. Hartung particularly stood out, eVen though he was charged with a throwing error on a wet ball after a 55-minute rainstorm that let in twp Dodger runs. Clint more than atoned for that lapse by driving in three, runs With a pair of doubles. What made this significant was that in 21 games last year, he drove in only two runs and. hit only one double. The onetime wonder boy’s confidence apparently was restored In his stint this year at Minneapolis. came through with three runs batted in too, on a double apd a single And Corwin, who pitched scoreless ball until the rain, yielded only one earned run and was a strong figure in the third Giants victory over Brooklyn in a week. He was the winning pitcher in the other two. The Dodgers got an -even break when 'Peewee Rees* singled in the winning run in the opener in which both Bobby Thomson of the Giants and Gil Hodges of, the Brooks hit three-run homers. In the American League race, the Yankees stayed 2% games in front of the Indians by splitting with the Senator, winning Iff to 9 in 13 innings on Billy Martin’s squeeze bunt single after losing the opener, 12 to 4, as Jackie Jensen clijppxed the hitting with a grand-alaii Washington homer. Bob Feller lost his ninth game in the opener. 5 to 2, as Duane Pillettje pitched a five-hitter, after which Early Wynn pitched a fourhit,j 9 to 1 Cleveland victory lot? his 15th| triumph.

Thei win put Boston five games behind the Yankees in third place.? other National league games, the Phils topped the Brayes, 3 to 0, on Karl Drews’ five-hitter, then lost, £ to 3, as Sam Jethroe hit two home runs in one game for the first time in his career, whi'le at 'Chicago the Reds battered the Cubs, 11 to 3, then lost, 7 to 0 on Bob Kelly’s six-hitter.

Rams Slight Favorites To Beat All-Stars CHICAGO, UP—Tradition madh the once-pbtent Los Angeles Rams one-touchdown favorites over the 1952 College • All-Stars today, but there were reasons to anticipate the seventh triumph for the collegians in 4 the 19-game annual series. The two squads tangle In the annual August renewal of the battle, in which the pro champions have won 1.0 and the collegians six with two ties, in Soldier Field Friday night. ’ \ An audience of more than 90,000 was expected in the stadium with another crowd numbered in ' the millions expected to scan the spectacle via television. The Rams were first to appear in Chicago for final workouts. A light drill was scheduled tonight under the lights, and head coach Joe Stydahar, who has played in the contest earlier as both A colleges tackle and a < Chicago Bear pro. said hia team was ready to go. But i observers from the Rams training camp reported that at least three of the pro mainstays, fallback Paul Younger, and guards Stan West and Bill Lange, have not yet scrimmaged due to injuries and that end Tom Fears, a dangerous pass catching threat on offense, has not reached his form of 1951 or 1950. In the latter year he led the National league in receptions. ’ Cl■ ■ \ On the otnerhand, the Rams reportedly were in top spirits for the contest, aiming to avenge the licking suffered in the only previous Los Angeles appearance in 1946. .The All-Stars remained in their Delafield, Wis., training camp today for their final drills. They will arrive by bus Friday morning and I await the mdteh. The All-Stars, at peak moralesince their training program, have retained their pitch and coaches said they anticipated no letdown for the contest. “They couldn’t be any higher,” one mentor ,said. “We haven’t any doubts about their spirit and their desire to win.” The All-Stars will play strict platoon football, barring injuries, and

it was unlikely any player would face double duty. Only one player was injured during training, guard Jim MacKehzie of Kentucky, ant he will not dress for the contest. “Every player on oUr roster will get into the game in the first half.” Dodd said. “I’ve told all that, ( and I mean that everyone will get in.” Presumably Dodd meant to field his best lineop, on the basis of game performance, for a final half assault leading to victory.
