| Today's Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY (United Prase Sports Writer) BROOKLYN, N. Y. (UP) — Rail fell, softly and steadily, in emptj Ebbats Field and even the pigeoni nestled snugly high up under th< eaves. But far in the outfield, outlihec against the blank face of th< scoreboard, a lone figure ploddet through the rain, first it lopec slowly. Then it stopped, bent lov in a sprinter’s crouch and sudden ly raced through the downpour. Big Don Newcombe was getting ready to confront his doubts an< doubters. A short while previously the sec ond game of the World Series hat been postponed. The early specta tors had vanished. Other ball play ers ignored their uniforms and hur ried their various ways. Only New combe went out there in the rair and the hollow emptiness of the ball park. Nobody but Newk knows the thoughts that drifted through hit head as he worked out in the lone ly isolation of the outfield, glanc ing up occasionally at the yawning emptiness of the stands which would be jammed when he makes his delayed second game start against the Yankees. But a half-hour later, soaked by rain and sweat, he sat in front of his locker and admitted that —un til he wins—he will think of little except trying to prove that he is n’t a "choke up” pitcher who can’t win the big ones. “They, never consider the ones I do win as ’big’ ones,” Newcombe growled. “Only the ones I lose. But this game against the Yankees has to qualify as a big one for everybody — and I’ve got to win it to prove myself.” The 30-year-old Newcombe has a point. He won 27 games for the Dodgers this season and went the distance In 14 of them. They don’t remember that he beat the battling Braves twice with a four hitter and a five hitter, that he downed the mauling Redlegs twice. One of them a five-hitter; that he beat the Cardinals with five hits, and stopped the Phillies with a mere two blows while pitching another trio of three-hitters. They dd remember that, coming dowrHEat ”re3-hdt-National .League stretch, he needed help three times and was beaten by the Phillies. They also remember that three times he has been flattened in the Series without ever once winning a game. The Yanks heat him twice in 1949, once by a slim 1-0 on Tommy Henrich’s, ninth-inning homer. The second time he lasted less than four innings. Then, last year, he was cuffed for eight bits in 5 2-3 innings by these same Yan kees and came down with a sore elbow that denied him another chance. Ballplayers are brutally frank and outspoken. In many a dugout you can hear that Newcombe lacks guts. There Is an uncomplimentary nickname which is better left unsaid. Which puts tig Newk on a terrific spot today. Losing would deepen the disdain. Only by winning can he wipe out the “choke up” label. It may be the biggest game he'll ever pitch. Minnesota produces more iron ore than any other state.

Country Slaughter May Gel Full Share BROOKLYN (UP)—Enos (Country) Slaughter, already voted a’ halt-share by his Yankee teammates, can make it a full one with a “good series,” and If he does, he’ll have Casey Stengel to thank. Generous as usual in their splitting up of the World Series melon, the Yankee players decided to give Slaughter half a share even though he joined them from Kansas City on Aug. 26 and appeared ip only 23 games for the Yanks. Stengel, long an admirer of Slaughter's hustle and his 100 per cent effort for any club he has played with, felt Enos deserved a full share and told the players so. It was finally decided to wait and see how the 40-year-old ex-Cardi-nal performed against the Dodgers in the Series. Slaughter, unaware of Casey’s intercession for him because he wasn’t present when the shares were being voted, got off to a fine start against Brooklyn in the opener Wednesday, rapping out three hits even though the Yankees lost. In order to change their original vote and award Slaughter a full share, the Yankees would have to call another meeting among themselves following the Series. Although the procedure would be unusual, there is no rule forbidding it.
