Dodger Hopes Fade As Cards Rally For Win NEW YORK (INS) — The Brooklyn Dodgers' pennant chances are going down the drain for many reasons, most important of which was too much dependence upon their prise Stopper, Carl Erskine. Carl, who finished 20-and-6 and set a world series strikeout record last year, has been a major disappointment to the aspiring pennant * repeaters this season along with returning veteran Don Newcombe and ailing Roy Campanella and 5 Jackie Robinson, Although he has a record of 1613, the supposed Dodger stopper has won only four of 12 against the contenders-r J-and-6 with New York and l-and-3 with Milwaukee. And the 27-year-old righthander has come up with a new pitch—a gopher ball. He's thrown 28 homerun pitches, four straight with two men on base. Erskine, who hasn’t won since Aug. 18, failed for the fifth time Wednesday night to nail down his 17th victory. — Workin on a 5-to-3 lead going into the ninth inning, St. Louis routed him with three runs to win it, 6 to 5, and drop the Dodgers six 1 games behind the league-lead-ing (Hants and two behind the second-place Braves. Erskine opened the inning by walking Solly Hemus and then gave up a double to Ray Jablonski, after Stan Muslal had forced Hemus at second. Jim Hughes, setting a new Dodger record of 55 relief appearances, came in and. gave up another double to Joe Cunningham for two runs. Rip Repuiski singled to score the third marker. Three Dodger homers went for naught >— DUke Snider’s two-run homer in the fourth, Roy Campanella’s 18th in the seventh and the Duke’s' 36th of the year in the eighth. ’ Rookie Gordon Jones, who needed ninth-inning help from Gerry Staley and Harvey Haddix, won his third in five decisions. %,The Giants, "lasagna twins" SaTWHßn"a!!Wobnny A-ntonelli in today’s twin bill with Chicago, were Idled with the Cubs by rain Wednesday. Milwaukee copped its 10th straight, 5 to 2. over Pittsburgh. AndeClncinnatl took over fourth place from Phila-

New York stayed 4% games behind the American League leaders by beating Baltimore, 8 to 2. Chicago edged Washington, 2 to l r and Boston down Detroit, 5 to 2. The Braves moved to within four games of the Giants on Warren Spahn’s 19th victory and 11th in a row. Ed Matheww* 36th homer —a two-run blast in the third inning—provde the margin of victory. ' ■ Ted Kluszewski hiked his major league home run lead over Willie Mays <o.Bix by elamming his 46th —first at Connie Mack Stadium. Wally Post followed it in the fourrun sixth inning with a two-run homer that insured Frank Smith's fifth win. Righthander Wynn became a 20game winner for the third time and joined teammate Bob Lemon as the only other American Leaguer to recah the magic figure this year. He scattered eight hits while the Tribe managed seven. Including a homer by Vic Wertz. It was victory No. 99 for the Indians, whose best previous mark was in 1920, when the pennantwinning Tribe gained 98 under the late Tris Speaker. Southpaw Tommy Byrne, who helped pitch New York to its 1949 and 'SO pennants, marked his return from Seattle by baffling Baltimore with slow pitches that resulted in just seven hits. He doubled with the bases loaded in the fourth inning to drive in three runs and scored the first run in the third after clouting a triple. Fire-balling Bob Turley, who lost his 15th against 11, struck out 12 in seven innings before being lifted for a pinch-hitter. The White Sox held Washington to three hits while belting Bob Porter-field for 13. Don Johnson relieved Morrie Martin in the ninth to put down a Senator rally. Eighth-inning homers by Sam Mele and Sam White helped Frank Sullivan to the Boston win over the Tigers.

/ j 'W i ■■ —— Big Ten Grid Battle Looms As Wide Open CHICAGO (INS) — The 1954 Big Ten football campaign looms as a wide open battle with Illinois and Michigan State — last season’s co-champions — slight favorites to repeat t-heir triumphs of a year ago. But there is nothing sure Tn this highly competitive conference. Should the Illini or the Spartans falter, Wisconsin, lowa, and Ohio State have the manpower — on paper at least — to make them strong contenders for the title. Outside the conference. Notre Dame—unbeaten but tied by lowg| last year — has 26-year-old Terrjl Rrennan’replacing Frank Leahy as head coach. Brennan's big job is to replace the right side of the Irish line, depleted by graduation, and to fill the backfield gaps left by graduated Johnny Lattner and Neil Worden. Brennan still has two of the best ends in the country in co-captains Dan Shannon and Paul Matz, a swift runner and pass catcher in Joe Heap and a potential AllAmerican quarterback in Ralph Guglielmi. Other midwest independents capable of stealing the headlines include Marquette. Cincinnati, which has lost only once in each of the last three seasons, Miami of Ohio and Dayton, whe?e "big leaguer" Hugh Devore is the new coach. In. the Big Tan, Illinois has two brilliant backs in J. C. Caroline and Mickey Bates and two experienced guards in Jan Smid and Don Tate. Coach Ray Eliot is thought to have the strong material on hand to fashion another high-scoring team. Michigan State's new coach. Hugh-. Daugherty, has a hackfield problem, with I-eßoy Bolden the only holdover from last year's "Light Brigade," which functioned so well in the Spartan's Rose Bowl triumph over UCLA.

Cites Money Needs Os Minor Leagues COLUMBUS (IN) —Mtore money for the lower minor league baseball clubs was the chief topic of discussion Wednesday by the 16 farm system directors for the major circuits. Lee Mac Pha 11 of the New York Yankees farm system, who was chairman, of the special session In Cohimbus, saidi "we need more help channeledAo minor clube than through the working agreements which exist with the major clube.” MacPhail told newsmen after the morning meeting of the group that ‘frankly, we emphasized the topic of money.” He said the minor league dubs, especiaUy i w the A-B-C classification, and D r experienced increased costs of “about 100 percent*in the past 10 years.” • MaePhiail explained that most of the clube are independently owned and have "working agreements” with the majors in which the big league clubs pay a certain amount of cash for the right to select players. President George M. Trautman of-the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, who sat in on the sessions, said the number of clubs in the -minors has* decreased alarmingly and more funds are needed. . MacPhail said the group dtacus«ed other matters which would help “the genertd baseball picture" but that emphasis was on money. ~The farm directors especially considered recommendations of a special subcommittee headed by MacPhail. They will probably meet again at the Wbrldi Series and then make some resolutions for presentation before the minor league meeting this December in Houston, Tex. Bel'ore doing so. each will go back to his club owner with what has been discussed and what would be proposed. MacPhail told sports writers that obviously the majors need help
