The Millers and Indians each have won three games and lost three in the series, and face each other tonight in Bloomington Stadium at Minneapolis in a "must” game for the finals. Winner of the "do or die” game will face Denver in league finals. Denver gained a finalist berth Sunday night by taking its fourth straight game from Omaha. Probable pitchers in tonights crucial game were Jim Constable for Minneapolis and Johnny Grey for Indianapolis. Each team collected five hits in Monday night’s pitcher’s duel, but Dick Tomanek of the Indians tossed two gopher balls before he was relieved in the eighth inning by George Spencer. Ossie Virgil and Gail Harris both clouted bases empty home runs—Virgil in the fourth and Harris in the seventh. That was all Pete Burnside needed to hold the Indians and get the win. Burnside, however, allowed an Indian run to score in the fifth inning. If Minneapolis wins the other finalist's berth, the first thre/ games of the championship playoffs would be held in Denver, with the remainder at Minneapolis.

National Loop Race Narrows To Two Teams By JOHN GRIFFIN (United Press Sports Writer) Thanks to a couple of gritty “pld pros” named Carl Furillo and Warren Spahn, the National Lea ; gue pennant race was narrowed down to a two-team dog-fight today to see who gets into the World Series against the New York Yankees — who may clinch the American League flag tonight. The Cincinnati Redlegs now are virtually out of the NL battle as a result of their 5-4 loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers Monday night on Furillo’s draniatic, 10-inning home run. That leaves it up to the Dodgers and the Milwaukee Braves, and the Dodgers now lead by one full game —two games in the all-important ’’lost” column. The Braves lost ground by dropping the opener of a twi-night bill to the Giants, 7-2, before Spahn averted complete disaster by gaining a 4-1 victory. Here's why the Redlegs’ plight seems hopeless: They’re now four games behind the Dodgers and three behind the Braves with only 11 to play. They have to hope for a complete collapse by not one, but both, rivals to get back into contention. But the Redlegs went down with all guns blazing. Trailing 4-1, they kayoed pitcher Clem Labine with two out in the ninth on a two-run homer by Ed Bailey and then RayJablonski tagged reliever Don Bessent for a solo homer to tie the score. And it seemed they would win the game and drive within two games of the top when their first two batters were safe in the 10th. But Carl Erskine relieved Bessent and nailed three straight bat ters. winding up with Bailey, to retire the side. Furillo, first man up in the Dodger 10th, tagged reliever Brooks Lawrence for his 20th homer to end the game. Ear lier, he had doubled home .two runs and teammate Duke Snider had hit his 39th homer to regain the undisputed league homer lead. The Braves, who lost a halfgame in the standings on the day game, fell victim to old teammate Johnny Antonelli in their opener. Once upon a time ip 1948, the Braves handed a $65,000 bonus to sign, but they traded him! to the Giants in 1953. Lefty John stopped them Monday night with six hits, including homers by Bobby Thomson and Johnny Logan, to notch his 17th win. It was the only game won by the Giants in 11 meetings with the Braves at the Polo Grounds this year, and Antonelli couldn’t have done it at a meaner time. To rub ft in. he hit a two-run homer. —That-left it up to Spahn to hold the fort —a loss would have left the Braves three games behind Brooklyn in the lost column. The 35-year-old lefty struggled through a nine-hit performance to gain hie 18th win of this season and 201st of his career. The Dodgers stay home tonight for the opener of a two-game series against St. Louis while the Braves go to Pittsburgh. The Yankees will be at Chicago under lights and will send Whitey Ford after the victory that would clinch the Yankees’ seventh American Langue pennant in the last eight years.

elude green fees, 'which ane to he paid on registration at the club house. t, | Today's Sport Parade | . By OSCAR FRALRY (United Press Sport* Writer) NEW YORK (UP)—To Sal (The Barber) Maglie it's a real case of better late than ever. The gaupt, sleepy-eyed man from Niagara Falls has been one of the wonders of thap baseball would this season. Considered "through” a year ago, at 39 he has come back to pace the pennant drive of the Brooklyn team which once dreaded his very appearance. And. in doing so, this master craftsman has been the man who wins the big ones. Currently he has won six in a row, the last two over the teams who are battling Brooklyn for the flag. He went the route in flattening Milwaukee and then scowled his way to a triumph over Ciacinnati.

"And” mourned Bedleg Manager Birdie Tebbets. "he was better than I’ve ever seen him.” When Sal, obtained from Cleveland in May, first put on the oncehated Dodger uniform he announced that he'd shoot for 10 victories this season. Right now his record is 11-4 and he has lifted the ball qlub by announcing that he should win two or three more down the last few yards of the stretch. ■lt’s another dramatic chapter in the saga of a man who came up the hard way and, once again, refused to, Admit defeat. It took him eight years to reach the major leagues and 13 years to “arrive.” The first time, after one mediocre season in 1945, he jumped to the Mexican League in the exodus of that era. For four years he was banned from baseball and when he finally was readmitted in 1950 and he showed up at the New York Giant camp, manager Leo Durocher took one look and Observed : “He looks like the barber in the end chair."

Bat batore the season ended, the "Barber” was proving it a fitting nickname as he shaved the opposition — with the accent on Brooklyn. He won 18 games and then, in that miracle year of 1951, captured a league-leading 23 games. Three years later, after conquering back trouble, he led the Giants to another pennant with a 14-6 season. But in July of 1955, Sai, who had beaten Brooklyn 23 times against 11 defeats, was considered “washed up" and sold to Cleveland. There he received little work and it was a sensation this spring when he was sent along to Brook? lyn. But the "Barber” proved he was fgr from done. He has beaten Cincinnati three times, Milwaukee and Chicago each twice and one-time victims are St. Louis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and his former Giants.. Only four times has he been beaten. How does he do it? "Well,” says Sal, “it’s like driving a car. You pace yourself. If you drive ,80 all the time, you’ve

got nothing In reserve. If you go 50 or 60, then you can slow down to 40 or speed up to 80 when you have to.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try « Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
