By JACK HAND

Joe Page and Ted vVilks, bane
ball's celebrated firemen, loom
as key men in the stretch drive
of the fas-ored New York Yan
kees and St. Louis Cards.
The team standings and ached
ule give the Yanks and Cards the
edge hut only as long as Page
and Wilka continue to produce.
Each has appeared in SI games.
As the Yanks and Cards move
into the final three weeks of the
season with the opening today
of the last intersectional series,
the relief aces figure to tell the
story.
Yank Pull Ahtad
New York, out front by three
full games after Sunday's double
win while Boston was dropping;
two, used Page in five of its
11 September games three times
he helped Tommy Burne out of
trouble. He saved Allie Reynolds
and Fred Sanford once each.
Manager Casey Stengel may
have to call on Smoky Joe to
day. After Eddie Lopat pitches
the opener against the St. Louts
Browns. Casey has selected rookie
VVally Hood to pitch the second
game. Hood, a recent Kansas City
grad, will be getting his first
major league starting test.
Return of Yogi Berra to home
run hitting form was a tremen
dous boost to Yank morale. They
cot another lift from Tommy
Henrich, injured first baseman
outfielder, who again is taking
batting practice and insists he's
"ready."
But most Important is Page
who saved three big games la
the last five days.
Sk Tk On Detroit
While the Yanks play a pair
with the Brownies, the desperate
Boston Ked S-ox must take on
the steaming Detroit club. Win
ners oi 10 straight and 18 ot
their last 20, the Tigers invade
the east for the last time, intent
on becoming a pennant factor.
Time Is fast running out on all

for Detroit which has only 11
to play and trails by 51 games.
They are eight back on the im
portant losing side.
in the rational the slugging
of Stan Musial and Enos Slaugh
ter and the efficient relief work
of Wilks 1 11-31 have given the
Cards a 1 J game edge over the
Dodgers.
Wilks has been bumped In his
last few outings hut the St. Louis
staff required his strong right
arm In four of its last nine games.
The Cards, like all 16 major
league teams had an open date
yesterday, but they're looking
ahead to the big three-same series
at Sportsman's park with sec
ond-place Brooklyn Sept. 21-22.
Those games probably will decide
tne pennant race.
