Cardinals End Dodgers'Win Skein Al Six By FRED DOWN United Press International The St. Louis Cardinals have applied the brakes to the Los An’ geles Dodgers’ headlong dash for the National League pennant—and now it’s up to the Cincinnati Reds to make the most of the opportunity. The Reds and Dodgers begin the most important series of the NL season so far with a single game tonight and meet again in a doubleheader on Wednesday. The Reds — who’ve been .feuding with the Dodgers for the last' few years — can take over the lead by sweeping the series The Cardinals gave the Reds an important lift on the eve of the big series when they downed the Dodgers, 5-0, Monday night and cut Los Angeles’ lead to two games. The victory ended the Dodgers' six-game winning streak and marked only Los Angeles’ fourth loss in 23 games. Has Sore Shoulder Ernie Broglio, a 21-game winner in 1960 who has been struggling to reach the .500 mark this season, showed up at the Los Angeles Coliseum with a sore shoulder but when the game was over it was the Dodgers who were “hurtin’ all over." The 195-pound right-hander from Berkeley, Calif., turned in a five-hitter for his second shutout and ninth victory of the season. The game was the only Monday night action that had any real bearing on either pennant race. The Milwaukee Braves downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3, and the Chicago Cubs scored a 9-2 victory that stretched the Philadelphia Phi 11 ie s’ losing streak to 17 games in other NL games. In the American League, the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City A's, 6-2, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Washington Senators, 5-1. Helps Own Cause Broglio also struck the big blow in his own cause when he singled with the bases filled in the second inning to drive in two runs. Joe Cunningham drove in two runs with a double and a single and Stan Musial contributed three hits to the Cardinal attack. — D«m. Drysdale, who has showed signs of leading the Dodgers’ lateseason flag drive, was tagged for four of the Cardinals' runs and suffered his seventh loss against 10 victories. It was only the third time this season that the Dodgers were shut out. Ed Mathews hit the 362nd hom-,.-*r of his major league career to move past Joe DiMaggio into 10th place on the all-time list as the Braves dealt the Pirates’ Harvey Haddix his sixth defeat. Joe Adcock had three hits and Hank Aaron had two in the Braves’ 11hit attack that brought relief pitcher Tony Cloninger his third win Dick Stuart and Roberto Clemente homered for the Pirates Banks Homers Ernie Banks drove in three runs With a homer, double and

single and Jerry Kindall knocked in four to lead the nine-hit Cub attack. Dick Ellsworth pitched a six-hitter to win his sixth game for the Cubs while Frank Sullivan suffered his 11th loss for the Phillies. The Phillies’ 17-game losing streak is only two short of the modern National League record. Harmon Killebrcw hit his 34th homer of the season and Billy Martin connected for a three-run homer for the Twins who handed Kansas City’s Jerry Walker his ninth defeat. Jim Kaat pitched a seven-hitter and struck out four to win his fifth game for Minnesota. Ted Bowsfield pitched a sevenhitter to raise his’ season record Ito 9-4 behind a 10-hit Los Angeles attack that included three hits each by Lee Thomas and Leon Wagner. Chuck Cottier had three hits for the Senators. Redskins To Draft Negro Grid Players WASHINGTON (UPD — Owner George Preston Marshall of the Washington Redskins promised today to draft Negro players “if given an opportunity” —a promise which apparently settled the feud between the volatile club owner and Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall. Udall had threatened to prevent the Redskins from playing in the new District of Columbia Stadium next fall unless Marshall lifted an alleged ban against Negro players. But Marshall, in a letter to National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle, not only said he would draft Negroes -but even listed two of them as his first and second choices for 1962. The letter denied the team ever had discriminated against Negroes. Marshall, whose team is the only one in the NFL which has never hired a Negro, said halfbacks Ernie Davis of Syracuse and Larry Ferguson of lowa would be his first two draft selections for the 1962 season. “There are other fine football players . •'. who would be subsequent choices to the aforementioned,” Marshall wrote Rozelle. “They are Wilburn Hollis, defensive back from Iowa; Felton Rog--ers. defensive. end from thesame college, and Ron Hatcher, fullback from Michigan State.” “I can assure you that if any of these names are still on the board <at the annual NFL draft meeting, I shall be glad to select them,” Marshall added. Udall, who met with Rozelle here recently, promptly hailed the commissioner for his "constructive action” in mediating the Marshall-Interior Department bat--tie; 1 — r~ “The Kennedy administration is determined that every American should have a full and equal opportunity to utilize his or her talents in the classroom, in indus-i try. on the playing field and in all areas of our national life,” Udall said. Football Bleachers Are Being Installed A new, semi-permanent bleacher section. 10 rows high and 66 I feet long, is being installed today on the north side of Worthman Field for the Decatur football fans this fall. Three Decatur school teachers — Lowell J. Smith. William McColly. and Robert Doan — helped severalfactory men and Decatur school janitor Bing Johnson install the seats. Johnson was recently hired to replace Clvde Drake, the former janitor. Formerly the Decatur cheering section sat on the south side, and fans had to wade through mud on rainy evenings to get to and from their scats. Also semi-permanent seats could not be located on the south side of the field. Dnvld A. Mneklln, Attorney ESTATE NO. 5538 . NOTICE TO AM. PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE ESTATE OF Bridget Kenney.

TOKYO (UPI) — Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan said today that Russia is superior to the United States in the scientific field and “would surpass America soon in the economic field.” Mikoyan made his remarks during a reception at the Soviet embassy that followed hisformal Opening of a Soviet tradefair, which coincided with the 16th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War I. “The United States is said to be the most advanced nation in the world in the scientific field,” Mikoyan said before the gathering of about 1,000 persons. “But it lags behind the Soviet Union in space technology.’” Mikoyan called for expanded Soviet-Japan trade and improved political relations between the two countries. In opening the trade fair, he said there must be an end to threats of “suicidal war.’ “Lets stop shining up our swords and lets not brandish atomic weapons, Mikoyan said. He directed his remarks to “the leaders of the capitalist world when he said “Lets compete on the stage .of peace and economy. Team To Recover t.’. Hijacked Airliner MIAMI (UPI)- — Eastern Air Lines sends a 10-man team to Havana today to recover the hijacked $3.2 million; prop jet Electra held by the Castro regime since July 24.

Among the Eastern employes flying to Cuba today were Herbert C. Dobbs, special assistant to the? companys executive vice president, six mechanics and a threeman flight crew. An Eastern spokesman said that because of checks that would have to be run on the plane, “We don’t have any idea when theyll get back. We’re reasonably sure, though, that it won’t be today.

No Change In Baseballs Now Used In Majors CHICOPEE, Mass. (UPI) — If Babe Ruth’s home run record is broken this sea t son, it will not be due to any changes in the baseball being* used. That’s the word from Mrs. Beryl Gauthier, chief stitcher of the official major league ball. The other day Joe DiMaggio remarked that the ball of two decades ago had cloyer stitches and higher seams, allowing pitchers better control. This statement raised inquisitive eyebrows, c what with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris of the New York Yankees trying to knock stitches, cover and four rolls of yarn off the ball in their attack on Ruth’s record of 60 home- a single season set in 1927. Officials of A. G. Spalding & Bros., Inc-, here have been insisting for years that there hasn’t been a change in the ball since the cushioned cork center was introduced in 1925. “In fact.’ said a spokesman, “we aren’t allowed to make any changes. All the balls are made according to major league specifications.” If either Mantle or Maris tops Ruth’s record, 72 women stitchers
