Fog Prevents Cubs-Dodgers Game Thursday BROOKLYN (UP)—The Brooklyn Dodgers are sure today they could react to Los Angeles’ famed smog as if they never left home. The Dodgers haven't left Brooklyn—not yet, at least—but they know all about smog. They and the Chicago Cubs got lost for an hour and 26 minutes In it Thursday night before the umpires called off their game at Ebbets Field. Officially, the umpires called it off because everybody was in a fog. And, for once, Dodger President Walter O'Malley— the fellow who's had all Brooklyn in a fog for the last month — couldn’t be bamed. The Weather Bureau reported it was a general condition ihat enveloped New York City and curtailed movements at airports, highways, etc. The mist had already started to creep in over the field when the game started and it became so bad in the second inning that leftfeelder Bob Speake of the Cubs let a routine fly ball by Charley Neal drop for a double. At this point, infielder Bobby Morgan turned to umpire Dusty Boggess and pleaded: “Call time, it’s so bad out here this inning will never end if they keep hitting the ball in the air.*’ "I knew the ball was up there somewhere," said a perplexed Speake. "But I just couldn’t find it” Responding to Morgan’s request, Boggess called time and umpire Ken Burkhart, working behing the plate, held up the contest after a conference with managers Bob Scbeffing and Walt Alston. After an hour and 26-min-utes, the umpires went looking for each other again and decided enough was too much. The official end came when Tex Rickard, Brooklyn’s double - talking public address announcer, advised: "This game is being called pending the results of the fog.” No one could say for sure but it was believed «the estimated 5,000 fans groping about the stands went home.
