Today Them
Of at Least Tie
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press
Allie Reynolds, the Yankee “tie” specialist, was all ready today to wrap the Red Sox in knots and at the same time fashion a hangman's noose for the condemned Cleve-|
land Indians.
It was just a year ago Reynolds |
pitched his most memorable game, |
a no-hitter against the Red Sox| that clinched a tie for the 15
pennant.
He'll be glad-to settle for tes than a no-hitter today, but it] was a good bet the riflin’ right| New York ....

come through with his 20th vic-| tory of the campaign and make
sure the Yankees will finish no worse than in a tie for first.
For if the Yankees win, then no matter what Cleveland does in its two remaining games at Detroit Saturday and Sunday, the Indians can’t go ahead— they can only catch up. And the odds against them doing that were pretty long. a = -
THE YANKEES have four more games, one in Boston and three in Philadelphia. In a way, a victory today for Reynolds would be almost as much a milestone as his no-hitter against the Red Sox in the tieclincher a year ago. It would mark the first time in his long career that he had won 20 games in a single season. The Yankees moved two full games in front of the Indians yesterday with a pair of victories over the Red Sox, 3 to 2-in 10 innings, and 8 to 6. Mickey Mantle’s big bat was the measure of difference in both triumphs. In the opener, batting left handed, he drove in the winning run with a triple after he whacked a double to drive in another one earlier. In the second game, batting right handed, he really went to town, driving in four runs with a2 homer, double and single. Tom Gorman won the second game with relief help, Sain pitched two scoreless relief innings to gain the opening triumph. Cleveland, still hanging on by the finger-nails, blanked Chicago, 6 to 0, behind the three-hit pitching of Bob Lemon who won his 22d game as Al Rosen and Bobby Avila supplied homers. Rosen’s was a three-run job coming in a game-clinching five run rally in the seventh. -5 - - WHILE MOST of the Dodger regulars sat in the clubhouse and played bridge or kibitzed, Robin Roberts of the Phillies was topping the champs for the sixth straight time this year, 9 to 6, in Brooklyn for his 27th game. That gave him a strong claim for the most valuable player honors since he is the first National League pitcher to win that many games since Bucky Walters of Cincinnati did it in 1939. And he still has one more start, shooting for 28, in which case he would top all winners since Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals won 28 in 1935. Manager Charley Dressen turned the gama over into a pitching clinic for the World Series, but he was unhappy over the results, The five Dodger throwers, Clem Labine, Ron Negray, Clyde King, Ralph Branca and Ray Moore were tapped for 15 hits in-

None showed any genuine effec- | tiveness. Roberts was no stronger than he had to be, scattering 11 hits and just managing to stay ahead of the Brooks. The Giants clinched a tie for second place by topping the Braves, 11 ta 8 and 8 to 2. Alvin Dark pounded out five straight hits in the opener including a homer and double and walloped a two-run homer in the second game.

Bobby Thomson hit a Giant homer in each game and so did Johnny Logan of the Braves. The Browns came from behind to top the Tigers, 7 to 4, scoring five runs in the last three innings while the Reds beat the Cards, 6-1, behind Ken Raffensberger’s six-hit pitching. The Athletics and Senators in the American League and the Cubs and Pirates in the National had open dates.
Royals Pick Up Game on Wings
By United Press MONTREAL, Sept. 25-—The Rochester Red Wings, leading the Montreal Royals three games to two, make a second attempt tonight to win the final round of the International League playoffs. The Royals, regular-season pennant winners, won a reprieve last night when Walt Moryn hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to give them a 6-5 victory. The Red Wings were expected to send right-hander Jack Collum to the mound in an attempt to wrap up the series while the Royals figured to use left-hander Tom Lasorda. Lasorda pitched a three-hitter to beat Collum, 6-0, in the second game of the series last Sunday. The Wings appeared to have the series won last night when they scored three runs in the sixth inning to take a 5-3 lead. But Ellis Deal was touched for Moryn's homer in the next frame and Art Fabro came out of the bullpen to shut out the Wings in the last two innings.

By JIMMIE ANGELOPOLOUS How strong is Cathedral? How will Tech go in the North Central Conference this year?
Where will Shortridge and Howe fit into this year’s city grid picture? How about Warren Central's rugged Warriors? The people who've posed inquiries regarding Marion County’s clubs can pick up a few more answers this week.
Cathedral tackles the toughest assignment of all in its downstate junket at Evansville Reitz, placing a 12-game winning streak on the block.
The Irish, two-time winners, face a gigantic task from here on in. Despite their 25 to 6 conquest. of Washington and 19 to 0 victory over Crispus Attucks, the Irish’s showings since their fired-up jamboree against Tech have lacked the luster of a championship-calibre team striving for mythical state title claims. ” ” ”
THE DEFENSIVE and offensive lapses occurring games have stamped Cathedral las a question mark state power, pending, of course, it's showing against Reitz, 35-to-7 conqueror of Henderson, Ky.; tough Lafayette Jeff, Shortridge, Evansville Memorial, improving Broad Ripple | and Hammond Noll.

A's Give Boss New Contract
By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25 —Manager.-Jimmy Dykes of
was rewarded with a new two year contract and a big boost in pay today for lifting the A’s from the American League cellar to third-place contention in 3 two short seasons. Terms of the pact were not revealed. General Manager Arthur Ehlers, would say only that jaunty Jim- §@8 my received a } sub stantial increase in salary. Sols He compliment- Nrmy Dykes ed Dykes on a “great job” and hinted the A’s may have some surprises next season. The announcement marked Ehler's first official act after -the Athletics’ board of directors re-| appointed him ringmaster, also at a sizeable hike in salary. » » »
THE CIGAR-SMOKING Dykes was happy over the new pact, but he refused to allow his joy to lull him into forgetting the A's important three-game series with the New York Yankees, beginning tomorrow. “I'm really looking forward to next year, but we're still fighting for third place, you know, so I can't look too far ahead,” the wise-cracking pilot said. “After our series with the Yanks, I'll be able to think about 1953.” ‘The 56-year-old Dykes said credit for the A's success should go to the players. “The boys on the field made this new contract possible,” Dykes said. “So many of them came through this year, we couldn’t help making a better showing in the league.” He cited peerless Bobby Shantz, the wee southpaw who won 24 games; Rookie Righthander Harry Byrd who has 15 victories; Ferris Fain, seeking to repeat as the league's lead‘ing hitter, and homer hammer‘er Gus Zernial. ”
s =»
WHEN DYKES moved up from coach to manager of the A's iast season, succeeding Connie Mack's 50-year reign, the club was mired in eighth place. With adroit handling, he lifted them by their own pootstraps to sixth place and kept them on fire through this season to a point where they trail the third-place Chicago White Sox by
hipped speedster who's a junior.

HERE'S A TIP:
By Jim Smith
‘500’ Mile Race Will ¥% Get New Chief Steward
+ PAGE 33;
The 1953 Memorial Day race at the Speedway will have a new chief steward. Tommy Milton or the “500,” will announce his resignation before long. Reason, illness.
Tommy took over the job of chief steward in 1950 and did an excellent job. But at the moment he is suffering from phlebitis and has wisely decided his health is the more important thing. Who will take his place is a matter of conjecture. It has always been tradition that the Speedway could pick its own chief steward and have the appointment approved by the AAA. Undoubtedly that will be the case again this year, There are two men logically in line to sueceed Milton. One is Harry MqQuinn, the other, Earl Cooper. These two men, along with their boss, formed the ruling body at the “500.” Both of them are old-time drivers, Harry McQuinn Face both did an excellent job as assistants to Milton. Harry at present is AAA zone supervisor for Indiana.

THANKS TO the efforts of Billy Thom, Indianapolis’ wrestling impresario, the Leader Dog For The Blind fund at Rochester, _ Mich, is going to get some badly needed funds. "During the summer Billy ran a oenefit § ° show for the fund. It netted them $3867.50. He was then appointed, along with Ed (Strangler) Lewis and Leroy McGurk on a committee to attend the National Wrestling Alliance meeting in Los Angeles to try and arrange similar shows. The NWA went for the idea, 100 per cent. And so Thanksgiving Week some 500 pro

will donate 25 per cent of their gross after taxes to the Leader Dog fund and it should give
them a tidy sum of badly needed funds, The NWA committee handling
the shows is Thom, Cal Eaton of Los Angeles, Fred Kohler of Chicago, Toots Mundt of New York, Les Wolf of Memphis. Their slogan will be, “Be Thankful You're Not Blind.”
o ” . IT LOOKS as though the AAA is really bearing down on a long threatened “get-tough” policy. Detroit track operators have been notified “no sanctions in 1953.” The only way they can get one is to completely rebuild the track, & rather expensive operation. And even if it is rebuilt, AAA of ficials will pass on it. That bears out a tip re ported - by this column seve eral weeks ago. So the way is open for the Indiana State Fair officials to negotiate for a big car date. Along that tough policy line, Sam Nunis applied to the AAA for a sanction to run at Langhorne Oct. 12. He was turned down, Track too dangerous.

Will manage the Layton Trailer and Fishing Camp at Rivera Beach. At 40, Roy decided he had kicked around racing long enough, both as a driver and a mechanic. The future looked rather dim to him hence tne transfer to a more permanent

But there's one baton twirler, a national champion, who's making it pay off. He's Marshall Chapple who for the past four years has led tne band in the Parade of Roses at Pasadena. Marshall has a spot in the Sonja Henie ice show coming to Butler Fieldhouse Oct. 3. He should feel at home on a college campus. He graduated from University of Southern California having worked his way through on his baton work.
