Johnny Podres Is Discharged ByU.S. Navy NORFOLK. Vh, (VFr — Lefty Johnny Podres was out of the Navy today, medicajly discharged because of the same back injury he had when he was inducted, and which had plagued him throughout his pitching career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. In fact, E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi. general manager of the Dodgers, said in Brooklyn he was concerned over whether Podres could regain his pitching effectiveness. “All I can hope now is that his back is not in any worse shape than it was when he left us to go into the service,” Bavasi said. "Because he always had plenty of trouble with it.” Podres, who pitched the Dodgi ers to their one and only world champion against the Yankees in 1955 with 8-3 and 2-0 victories, received his medieal discharge after a three man medieal survey board at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital ruled to release him Friday afternoon. Podres disappeared quickly after being released and was out of contact with friends at this vast naval base. Dodger officials said they had not heard from him and his parents at Witherbee, N.Y., said they had not even heard that he had been discharged. A spokesman at the hospital described Podres' chronic condition as a “spondylolisthesis sympton” which was not likely to affect his pitching. Podres, who had been a 4-F millltary reject until after his brilliant showing in the World Series was re-classified 1-A during the offseason. Last spring, when he received notice to report for a physical examination and possible induction, he befame virtually a "cause celebrf?’ Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox outfielder, who served in combat in both World War II and the Korean conflict, spoke out bitterly at the Red Sox training camp in Sarasota, Fla. Podres, he said, was a victim of “gutless draft boards, gutless politicians and gutless sports writers." Lions. Rams Battle In Top Pro Contest By UNITED PRESS The Detroit Lions are slim, halfpoint favorites to defeat the Rams at Los Angeles Sunday in what shapes up as the top clash on the six-game National Football League card. Detroit leads the Western Division with a 4-0 record but needs a victory to insure its hold on first place. Los Angeles, defending division champion, has lost three straight games since winning its opener and needs a victory to stay within hailing distance of the leaders. The Chicago Bears are on the West Coast with Detroit for two contests with the pro circuit’s California clubs and are eight-point choices to down the Forty-Niners at San Francisco. The Bears are second in the Western race with a 3-1 record while the Forty-Niners have a 1-3 mark. In the other games, the Green Bay Packers are 2Mr point choices over the Colts at Baltimore; the Cardinals are 7H point favorites to boost their record to 5-0 by beating the Washington Redskins at Chicago; the Giants are 12point favorites to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles at New York; and the Cleveland Browns are seven-point choices against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.
