Robinson Stars As Dodgers Win Against Braves By MILTON RICHMAN (United Press Shorts Writer) There are 'increasing whispers that this is Jackie Robinson’s last year with Brooklyn but if the 37year old veteran is bowing out, he’s determined to give Dodger fans something to remember him by. Most of all, perhaps, he is anxious to leave his mark with Jersey City’s hyphenated “Dodger” fans, who keep booing him with a vehemence, the like of which he has never experienced since he broke into the majors 10 years ago. Those Jersey City fans, whom he first alienated when he called them and their city "bush” earlier this season, roasted him plenty Tuesday night, too, at Roosevelt-Stadi-um, the Dodgers’ home-away-from-’ home, but he answered them baek by blasting a two-run homer in the second inning and then singling home the winning run in the ninth to beat the Braves, 3-2. ■_ Robinson's game-winning hit, which came off Dave Jolly and scored Pee Wee Reese from second base, was a tremendous blow over center fielder Bill Bruton’s head. It was doubly significant in that it moved the Dodgers within four games of the league-leading Braves again and that it came In the first game Robinson played for Brooklyn since July 14. The second-place Redlegs also moved up on the Braves, climbing to within two games of Milwaukee by defeating the Giants, 7-3 in the nightcap of a twi-nlght doubleheader after dropping the opener, 5-1. Southpaw Jee Margoneri limited the Redlegs to five hits in the first game as Jackie Brandt led New York’s 10-hit offensive ■with a homer and two singles. Roy McMillan and Ray Jablonski each homered for Cincinnati in the nightcap which was clinched with a fiverun outburst in the fifth. Hal Jeffcoat was the winner although Hersh Freeman relieved him in the eighth. Monte Irvin put on a slugging Show with bis 11th homer, a double and two singles in the Cubs’ 9-4 victory over .the Phillies. Sam Jones, who had failed to win since June 17, stopped Philadelphia’s four-game winning streak and picked up his fifth victory even Jbaugh he needed help from Turk Lown in the seventh. Stan Lopata homered for the Phils. Knucklebailer Murry Dickson tossed a five-hitter for the Cardinals in sending the Pirates down to their sixth straight defeat, 7-0. Dickson allowed only one runner to reach third in registering his eighth triumph. The Cards got to George Munger for three runs in the first inning on Don Blasingame’s double and singles by Wally Moon, Rip Repulski and Charley Peete. Pittsburgh’s O’Brien twins, Johnny and Eddie, both saw duty as relief pitchers. Cleveland, still entertaining faint pennant hopes in the American league, chipped the Yankees’ lead to a still substantial nine games in whipping the New Yorkers, 5-0, with the aid of Early Wynn’s three-hit pitching. Wynn ended a Yankee winning streak of eight games over the Tribe in posting his 13th triumph. Johnny Kucks was the viettm of a three-run hally in the second inning and suffered his sixth loss against 14 wins. Rocky Colavito homered for Cleveland. Washington edged Chicago. 4-3, scoring what turned out to be the deciding run on Dick Donovan's wild pitch in the fourth inning. After scoring three runs in the third inning, the Senators tallied the clincher on singles hy Lou Berberet and Jose Valdivielso and Donavan's wild pitch. Pedro Ramos gained his eighth victory although requiring relief from Bunky Stewart in the sixth. Baltimore beat Kansas City. 5-1, marking the Orioles’ 13th triumph over the Athletics In T 6 this season. Skinny Brown picked up his seventh victory, giving up ■

Olympic Officials Face New Problem MELBOURNE, Australia (UP) — Australia’s harried Olympic officials were in a new pickle today over an "unexpectedly high rental” for the arena where the basketball championships were scheduled to be held. Sir William Bridgeford, chief executive of the Australian Olympic organising committee, conceded that it may be necessary for them to get another arena — provided one is available here that meets Olympic specifications. "About 15 months ago we made a reasonably Ann arrangement with operators of the Glaciarium for the basketball games,” said Sir Wjl'.iam. “The agreement was that the company would not lose money wh’le the basketball was being played there.” He said now they were demanding 20.000 pounds (approximately 344.800) for use of the arena. "We are now looking over alternate avenues and we should have an announcement by next Friday,” said Sir William. | Today's Sport Parade | BY BERT BELL (Commissioner of the) (National Football League) (Written For the United Press) PHILADELPHIA (UP) — Professional football as played in the National Football League is a rough, highly aggressive game, but it isn’t a dirty game. . The teams are so evenly matchin manpower and ability and so close to each other in their respective conference through most of the season that the competition is bound to produce a game in which aggressiveness, individually and collectively, is paramount to success. -- We have what we believe to be the most competent officials in footbaU but in other walks of life. They know the rules and how to enforce them. . .. They would ' not stand for dirty football any more than I wpuld stand for it, If they should eee any indication of It, they wauM quickly respond. Yet the men who are on top of the play, we have five officials in every jjgme, called relatively few disqualifications and none of these were for dirty football, during the 72 games-of the 1955 season in which at least 300 players participated each week. It the game is dirty, as some carping critics allege, isn’t it natural tg expect that the number of players sent off the field for conduct detrimental to the game would be much greater? Football is a rough game. Anyone who ever played it knows that. It is a body contact sport that demands give and take within the rules. + I played football in prep school and college and I know that it was rough. I wasn’t as big as most of those I played against but I never found a player to be deliberately dirty, • - We make every effort to protect the p'ayers and this year, to prevent occasional flareups by players brough about by crawling and subsequent piling on. the league has adopted a rule that reads as follow-s: . "When the ball carrier is contacted by a defensive player in the open, and — or when coming through the line or .scrimmage, and he touches the ground with any pant of his body'except his hands or feet, the ball is dead at the spot where the ball touches the ground, or that part of the runner’s body which--holds the ball touches the ground, and — or where the ball is when the whistle is blown.” I believe this is a great rule.

The runner can etUl get up and run If he slips to the ground. In the past, when the men went down from a tackle, the defense wasn’t sure whether he’d get up and run again and probably the runner himself wouldn’t know what to do. So this brought on additional tackling and body blocking by the defense so that the ball carrier could not get up and run. When a player joins the National FootbaU League, he has behind him from four to eight years of football in school and college. On the whole, he has had excellent coaching and good training. He is, ready for professional football. But 4f he lacks the spark tliat (lights the spirit of aggressiveness, he will not be apiong the players Who start the regular season. ’ NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.
