Sept. 30-AVUs-nally after a big fight the push ing, milling mob outside the dressing room door waiting to congratulate or condole a ring warrior or ask "Was It a right or left that was the finisher?" Is held at bay by burly, perspiring cops for five minutes or so while the fighter is given a chance to have his wounds dressed or re gain his fsculties. So it was quite a surprise when the door was opened wide and everyone was permitted to troop In after Tony Zale, particularly . since. Judging from his appearance, it would take hours for him to regain his faculties and have his multiple wounds dressed. For If ever there wss a beaten fighter who won. It was Tony Zale. Physically beaten, that is. It was unbelievable that a man taking the punishment he was taking could come back . round after round, and even more un believable he e a n 1 d sanuaon enough strength ta knack aut a more yeuthful and less battered opponent. You hsd to see the Gsry, IntL. champion in those moments to realise fully the glory of his triumph. Here was no Joe Louis, fresh and alert after an easy victory. Here was a man. savagely battered, leg and arm and body weary beyond words, buoyed only by a stoi cism and a fighting heart which would not permit him ta quit; who by sheer fortitude had out lasted a fighter In the prime ef elastic youth. In brief, here wss a champion, as snyone who saw the nearly six rounds of. cave man fighting would agree, and his defeated opponent. Rocky Graslane. unwittingly acknowl edged It by the blithe manner In which he accepted defeat.

That gave the Cards much the better of it. though why Carroll was so strong; for the home bovs went unex plained. Cardinal Manager Edaie Dyer said. his starting pitcher to morrow would be either Hon i Pollett. a lefthander of recer.tiy dubious ability, or Murry Dick son, a righthander. Leo Durocher, Brooklyn pilot, said he leaned strongly toward Ralph Branca, a rookie righthander, as his stirrer in the first game of the play-c.ff.
