Pennant Clincher Due Today - Maybe! By TIM MORIARTY UFI Sports Writer Party-poopers or freeloaders. Those are the alternate roles that may befall the New York Mets tonight when they play the Dodgers at Los Angeles. It all depends, though, on the St. Louis Cardinals. If they lose to the Cubs in a day game at Chicago; .“the Dodgers will back into the National League championship. If the Cardinals win — or their game is rained out — the hapless Mets, who already have clinched last place, can postpone the Dodgers’ pennant-clinching party for another 24 hours by winning the night game. Tracy Stallard, who owns the only victory the Mets have scored at Los AngeleS all season, will oppose 18-game winner Don Drysdale of the Dodgers. Los Angeles had a chance to clinch the pennant Sunday when the Cardinals lost to Cincinnati. But the Pirates knocked off the Dodgers, so all Walt Alston’s men sewed up was a tie for first. The Dodgers won’t be too disappointed if the Cardinals elim-

tive of Fort Wayne, and a 1944 graduate of South Side High school.

He lost to Ellis

inate themselves at Chicago. “Maybe it won’t be as exciting to show up for tonight’s game with the pennant won,” said outfielder Lee Walls, “but it will be mighty satisfying.” “I don’t care how we win,” added Drysdale. “Sure, I’d like to add another victory to my record, but nailing down the pennant is more important.” The early-bird New York Yankees, who clinched the American League flag 11 days ago, will do a little celebrating of their own tonight. Roger Maris, who has missed the last 10 games with a sore back, will rejoin the club for the opener of a two-game series with the Los Angeles Angels. It will mark the first time since June 1 that all eight Yankee regulars will be in the starting lineup together. The Detroit Tigers downed the Washington Senators, 4-1, in Monday’s only major league game. Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash slugged homers off loser Bennie Daniels before a sparse gathering of 674 at Detroit. Phil Regan limited the Senators to three hits until the ninth when Ed Brinkman and John Kennedy singled with two out. Willie Smith relieved Regan and fired a called third strike past Minnie Minoso to end the game.
