Durocher Nominates Highe

In Bid to Overhaul Cards Before They Really Take Off

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27 (U. P.).—Manager Leo (Lippy) Durocher of the Dodgers, a born gambler of the diamond, pulled out his ace-in-the-hole, Kirby Higbe, today in a desperate bid to overhaul the Cardinals before

they get more than a game away,

A 12-game winner and the only rested front-line Dodger pitcher, Highe was named to face southpaw speedster Harry (the Cat) Brecheen

in the all-vital finale of the Brook-lyn-8t, Louis series here. Durocher, an old Cardinal man himself, knows how the Redbirds| fly once they get into the National | league lead late in the season. For 96 days, his Dodgers defied the law of gravity and held on tol first place. But last night, the Cardinals scored two runs in -the

first inning and little Murry Dick-| &

son's corner-cutting pitches and big|

Harry Walker's life-saving catches | in center field pulled them through | to a 2-to-1 victory into undisputed first place by a full game, Lippy Is Glum The two teams presented a vivid | contrast as they trouped to their] locker rooms under the Sportsman's park stands. The Cardinals were a happy, back-slapping lot with Manager Eddie Dyer sporting his| first real Texas grin in months, | The Dodgers were a silent, cleatscuffing band. Durocher, who has] hardly stuck his head out of the! dugout during the series, cut a re-| porter short and walked on tight. lipped.

Durocher lost an important gamble last night when he sacrificed! southpaw aces Joe Hatten and Vic| Lombardi in relief roles in the hope | his Dodgers would come back to tie the score or take the 'lead. He knows he has to win one today be- | cause leaving St. Louis two games! out of first place with the hateful Cubs next could prove disastrous to the scrappy gang from Flatbush. | Tight Play Pays Off The Cardinals’ close-to-the-vest play last night was the big trump. The Redbirds rapped big Rube Melton for the all-important two runs in the first inning when Walker singled, Stan Musial walked and Enos Slaughter smashed a double! against the right field wall. Little Murry Dickson made the

BOSTON, Aug. 27 (U. P.).—The Cleveland Indians, continuing to use their “shift-to-right-field” defense against Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams, had 10 men | lined up against thumping Ted | yesterday, thanks to the uninvited help of a three-foot midget with

a yen to play third base. But it! didn't work. The midget, a local vaudeville performer named Marco Songini, said he was seized with an irresistible urge to help out the losing Indians when they shifted over to
