Yanks Worried Over Pitcher Allie Reynolds NEW YORK, UP —There were nothing but question marks today in the minds of Yankee supporters regarding their mighty ace of past World Series fame — Superchief Allie Reynolds. To be sure, Reynolds didn’t exactly disgrace himself Friday while blowing a 3-2, 10-innlng decision to the sixthplace Tigers after his mound opponent, lefty Ted Gray, drilled a triple. He gave up only seven hits, truck out five, and occaionally flashed the old Reynolds brilliance as in the ninth when he blew three swinging strikes past Stevie Souchock with runners on second and third. But the window-breaking Dodgers aren’t in sixth place and Reynolds might have a tussle with them even if he were the mighty strongarmed right hander of other World Series year. The feeling is that old “moneybags” will rise to the occasion and he still is re’garded as the one big guy for the Yankees even if for .only psychological reasons. . Yet the question marks start flying around like heavenly saucers again when Reynolds’ 1953 record is compared with the way the' guy used to pitch. He’s 11-6 now ■as against 20-8 for 1952. He has worked in 131 innings as against 244 last year. In 1952 he struck out 160 to lead the leagub. This year he has struck out 68. He has pitched only tour complete games as against 24 in 1952. Or more important, compare Reynolds for 1953 with the four big Dodger starters. All four, Carl Erskine, Preacher Roe Russ Meyer, and Billy Loes have better percentage marks in the won and lost column, all have pitched more innings, all have more complete games, all have more strikeouts, and all have better ratios than Reynolds in strikeouts ov?r bases on balls. Gray, who pitched a six-hitter, tripled in the 10th and scored on a fly by Harvey Kuenn. Detroit scored its other two runs in the fifth when Johnny Bucha drove in one tally with a double and Souchock produced the other on an infield out. Yogi Berra and Joe Collins hit Yankee homers. Andy Pafko, who was slugging for Brooklyn last year, postponed the “inevitable in—the National league when he homer'ed for the second time in the game in the 10th inning to give Milwaukee a 9-8 victory. The game was a wild see-saw struggle in which Roy Campanella hit a twonxn 40th homer for Brooklyn, and Pafko hit an earlier homer for Milwaukee to put the Braves in front 7-6. ■Reliefer Clem Labine was charged with the loss and rookie Don Liddle, who took over in the ninth, was credited with the win. Brooklyn must beat Milwaukee today if it is to clinch the pennaqt in the home of its closest rivals — or go on to win one more game while the Braves lose one.i In other National league play, Cincinnati topped the Phillies, 6-5, with six runs Jn the seventh inning to hand Robin Roberts his fourth straight defeat, while Wilmer Mizell of the Cards pitched a six-hit, 5-3 victory over Pittsburgh in which Enoe Slaughter hit a home run. The Cubs topped the Giants, 5-2, on the four-hit pitching of Bob Rueh and the hitting of Randy Jackson who drove in three runs, two with a homer. In the American league, Washington topped Cleveland, 6-4, with three runs in the eighth inning to hand Bob Lemon his 14th defeat as he sought his 20th victory. The defeat kept Cleveland 10 full games behind the Yanks. Duane Pillette of the Browns pitched a threeddt 2-0 victory over the Red Sox while the White Sox drubbed the Athletics, 9-4, and Virgil Trucks gained his 19th victory.
