Brooklyn And Giants Battle For Loop lead WW YORK (INS') — The incredible Giants and the devastating Dodgers, Acting like guys with exclusive rights to the National League pennent, begin a critical , three-gaane series at the Polo Grounds tonight to prove every- , body else “is dead.” < The Giants go into the biggest series of the year armed with a ono-game lead over the Bunie and < they have Dodger-killer Sai Magiie i or a Leo Durooher “sleeper” pill ready for the opening engagement. 1 Brooklyn, needing a sweep to emerge by its lonesome atop the heap, will bank on huge Don Newcombe to end what the Bums consider the myth of the Giants’ invincibility. A noisy, bi-partisen assemblage of 45,000 fans ie anticipated for the dramatic Durocher, whoee ch»b has amassed a phenomenal record of 22 wins in its last 26 games, indicated that he was considering a surprise pitching nomination, by-passing the Brooks most detested barber. Durocher’* shocker could consist of Ramon Monsant, a’ righthanded *stranger from Venezuela by way of Minneapolis. (More Hkely it could be Jim Bern, Leo’s improved righthander who has had the required three days rest. Under normal' conditions Magtie would be the natural choice. Bill the big fellow, -who has a 2-1 record over the Bums thia season, hasn’t been in action for 10 days after pulling a thigh muscle. : Newcombe, whose sore shoulder troubles appear to be over and who has won and completed his last two starts, was the definite selection of Dodger manager Falter Alston; who gave his complete mound lineup. “It’ll be Newk and Oarl Erskine for sure,” said Alston. 'Tin pretty certain Russ Meyer wdlpßeh Thursday.” The Dodgers, hitting with authority, have*won five in a row. They have a muscular record of 22-6 since last engaging the Giants and they have Duke Snider, the National League’s top batsmen at .368.
