Pirates Hand Dodgers Pair Os Setbacks NEW YORK (INS) - The Brooklyn Dodgers are dead, or might as well be, but who revived those Milwaukee Braves? The National League pennant race emerged from a spate of Labor Day doubteheaders with the Braves, and not the Dodgers, suddenly cast as the team the pacesetting New York Giants must worry about in the homestretch. The Braves took over second place, only four games behiad the Giants, by sweeping a doubleheader while the Giants were splitting a twin bill and Brooklyn was losing two. And here’s the way the standings look as the Braves head east for a final showdown invasion: W L Pct. GB TP New York -. 85 50- .830 19 Milwaukee .81 54 .800 4 19 Brooklyn —Bl 56 .591 5 17 In the American League, meanwhile, Cleveland retained its 4 % game edge ovey the New York Yankees when both teams divided double-headers. That twoclub race shapes up like this: W L Pct. GB TP Cleveland — 98 40 .710 16 New York — 93 44 .679 4% 17 The Braves capitalised on steady pitching by Ernie Johnson and Lew Burdette and murderous hitting by Ed Mathews to sweep Chicago, 13 to 2 and 6 to 1. Mathews had nine straight hits—one short of a league record —including his 35th homerun. Milwaukee bceame the first National League club to draw over two million fans when a paid attendance of 43,407 raised the season's total to 2,001,091. The victories were the Braves' eighth and ninth in a row. The Giants took their openei from Philadelphia. 8 to 4, but Robin Roberts became a 20-game winner for the fifth consecutive year as the Phils won the nightcap in 11 innings, 5 to 4. An infield single, by Gran Hamner brought in the winning run tn the yth.. u Pittsburgh ended a ten-game *1 os Ing streak expense. The Pirates scored three in the 12th to win the first game 9 to 6. and then took the afterpiece, 9 to 7. Bob Skinner hit a grand slam homer tn the opener., Harvey Haddix won his first decision since July 20 as St. Louis topped Cincinnati, 8 to 1, in a single game for the Redlegs fifth straight loss. Bob Lemon gained his 21st triumph as Cleveland defeated Baltimore, 6 to 1, but a makeshift Indian infield collapsed in the tenth inning of the second game and the Orioles won. 3 to 2. The Indians lost shortstop Sam Dente with a sprained ankle in the first contest. The Yankees pushed over two runs tn the ninth to defeat Boston. 6 to 5. but muffed a chance to gain on the Indians when Jim Piersall'a' two-run homer in the eighth gained the Red Sox an 8-to-7 split. Detroit swept a double bill from Chicago, 9 to 1 and 3 to 2, the nightcap going ten innings. Washington won the opener from Philadelphia, 8 to 1. but the A’s took the second game, 3 to 2. ‘ If you nave so meth lag to sell o> rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want <d.

(INS) — “It was oldtimer’s day.’’ That modest summation was made by amateur tennis king Vic Seixas in describing the dramatic, storybook triumphs he and Doris Hart scored Monday in finally winning the national singles titles. The 31-year-old Seixas. making a finals bid for the third time in the past four years, tore down the big game of Australia's Rex Hartwig to win the men's crown, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. The 29-year-old Miss Hart, appearing at the title altar for the sixth time after being a "bridesmaid"., five times since 1946. finally hit the jackpot to the delight of 11,000 West Side Tennis Club spectators when she overcame Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., 6-8, 6-1, 8-6. Then, to complete their day of glory, Vic and Doris repeated their Wimbledon feat by annexing the mixed doubles championship with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 win over the tandem of Austialia's Ken Rosewall and Mrs. Margaret Osborne DuPont. Seixas and Miss Hart had been chasing the nationals rainbow for T 4 years. In their finals frustrations neither had managed to win a set—until Monday. And. by coincidence, both came back to win afjer dropping the lust eet oUthair nsglcbes. Seixas, the rwentteii’ net rosier who was trounced by Tony Trabert last year and by Frank Sedgman in 1951, regained his touch after first set miseries Monday against the 25-yeawold Hartwig. The chunky, blonde Aussie power boy, second stringer on his country's Davis Cup team, had scored the most stupendous upsets of tbe 73rd annual netfest. He reached the throne round via triumphs over Trabert and Aussie No. 2 man, Ken Rosewall. Sentiment, the gallery and the law of averages were all in Miss Hart's favor. It was not a wellplayed match by any means, but the prize was the thing and in beating the lady known as Lou, lanky Doris gained a roaring, heart-warming ovation from the gallery. Veteran Amateur Golf Star Will Turn Pro NEW YORK (INS) — Veteran amateur golf star Frank Stranahan has decided to turn pro to “play tbe professional golfers on their own terms.'' The 30 ■ year old Toledo, O.; sparkplug heir announced his play-for-pay intentions Monday before leaving New York to play in a tournament In Brazil.

Indiana's Big Three Coaches Are Oplimisfic INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The j new look among Indiana's Big < Three college football coaches was highlighted by optimism. Gone is the “Po'r lil boys" cry of the late Bo McMillan at Indiana University and. the general sadness of retired Frank Leahy from Notre Dame. Even Honest Stu Holcomb at Purdae is chipper this fall. There is no particnlar reason for unbounded enthusiasm by any -ofthe three. Holcomb’s Boilermakers sad Bernie Crimmins’ Hoosiers played disastrously last year and new-coach Terry Brennan's Irish Just completed as disastrous a graduation. Brennan, youthful former All American, took up the man s duties Feb. 1, when Frank Leahy retired. Gone from the 9-0-1 Irish of 1953-54 are 16 lettermen Including All-Americans John Lattner. Neil Worden, Jim Schrader, Menil Mavraides. Art Hunter and Don Penza. The Irish headman has a wealth of talent among the 80 candidates from 18 states and Hawaii trying for varsity berths including end Dan Shannon, who caught the pass that tied lowa. He also has the quarterback who threw the pass, Ralph Guglielmi. and tbe halfback who faked the lowa secondary out of position. Joe Heap, but he also has lowa to play again. Aud if Optimistic Terry doesn't know what lowa hopes tp do to the Irish next year more than 112.000 football fans do. lowa turned away more than 60-thousand mail orders. for seats to the Nov. 20 liattle —- - In addition to lowa, the Irish must face Texas. Purdue, Pitt. Michigan State. Navy. Penn. North Carolina. Southern Cal and Southern Methodist. - The Purdue team, which will be trying for a second win the last 20 years against Notre Dame, has veterans at most positions but must find replacements tor some Fullback will give Holcomb headaches with Dan Polwjewski. the Michigan State turnaway who scored the only touchdown in the upset victory over those same Spartans last year, and Max’] Schmal+ng both gone. But does Holcomb cry? Nope. Stu says the team is above aver- i age. not great, but better than , usual. He speaks- of a squad of “60 { which shows 20 major lettermen returning. Any movement at all for Crimmins' Hoosiers will be anadvance. Bernie, a former aide to Lenity at South Bond, is in his third year j with the Hoosiers and has one big chance of a good season. Exact i mensurementH of the “< hance” are I not known but roagltly it figures to 6-3 high and 210 pounds wide and deep. This hit of gridiron merchandise played in games well for Plainfield. N. J., high school under the name of Milt Campbell. The migbFy man from Plainfield has dim hod right halfliack post and there are persistent rumors, that an older halfback playing brother Jjist out of the service will enter IV this fall.
