New York or Chicago teams to do
it if the Missourians can't.
J. Monroe Johnson, the office
of defense transportation boss,
says the world series will be "out
of the question" unless both com.
peting teams are from the same
city; - .
At the start, the general ex

losses and the Browns are in
fourth with an even .500 record of
nine and nine.
Even so, it was beyond belief
that they would win only two
games out of eight to date in
their first road trip against the
supposedly weaker eastern teams.
They hit rock-bottom yesterday,
losing two to the Braves at Bos
ton, 5 to 4, In 14 innings and, 4 to
1. The first defeat was caused by
a school-boyish muff by Elvin
(Buster) Adams in the ninth with
two out. Boston scored twice to
tie the score and won the game
for relief pitcher Charley Barrett
on a double by Phil Mas! and a
single by Dick Culler in the
14th.

us to do much. Our boys went
into those meetings knowing that
on- paper we were figured as a
second-division club. Instead of
being discouraged by such rating,
they bore down more and more
at the meetings and on the field
trying to prove the experts
wrong.
Outfielder Dixie Walker, last
year's champion batsman of the
majors, agreed with Durocher.
He said, "Wc have been getting
unexpectedly effective pitching;
but we also have been getting
unexpectedly tight fielding, and
winning power at bat enough
hitting power to score from three
to eight runs a game. It's hard to
beat a club having that combina
tion of pitching, defense ana
punch."
writers who wanted to know, I cause none of the experts figures
"How come.'
As Durocher ran the gamut of
his. garment, he said this and he
said that. Most of his conversa
tion naturally had to do with
Brooklyn's 3-1 victory yesterday
over Pittsburgh. Butwhile comb
ing his sparse brown hair, he ad
mitted that the Dodgers' recent
winning streak was due partly
to the club meetings before each
game.
He said, "These club meetings
are the most serious I've ever
seen. Everyone particularly the
new pitchers bring their brains
to bear during these meetings. As
a result, they go out onto the
field well educated. And they've
been living up to that education."
This caused a reported to re
mark: The "daily win" in the
clubhouse is helping the Dodgers
achieve a daily win on the field.
Durocher put down his hair
brush before the mirror and said,
"You've got something there."
Durocher knew that "daily
win" was applied jestingly to ev
ery clubhouse meeting through
out the major and minor leagues.
Those meetings, shortly before
each game, were held to take the
opposing team apart to study
its batting weaknesses and other
playing peculiarities and to
change signals if necessary. The
brain work in those meetings was
supposed to beat the opposition
before It took the lieiu. Hence it;
was a "daily win" before the first j
pitch. !
Durocher said, "I'd be a liar if
I said the team wasn't playing;
better than I expected. It's play-
ing like I figured it might if it
went all out. But what manager,
expects his team to go all out
during the first month of the'
season. Particularly when you
have young pitchers upon whom
you can't depend and a squad
that you don't know much about
until you shuffle and reshuffle:
it." !

Oakland Winner
In Great Finish -
(B United Pres.)
The Oakland Acorns staged a
garrison finish against Sacramen
to last night to rack up a 3-2, 10
inning victory and jumped into a
virtual tie for second place In
the Pacific coast league stand
ings. In the only other game played,
the tall-end, Hollywood Stars fi
nally hopped on the San Diego
Padres for a 6-3 trlumoh. The
San Ki-ancisco-Seattle and Los
Angeles-Portland games were
rained out. They will Dlav double-
headers tonight.
Oaks Revive.
Joe Wood, Jr., son of the fa
mous Boston Red Sox twirler,
had the ;Oaks practically beaten
in the last of the ninth at Emery
ville. With Sacramento ahead.
2-1, and two out, the crowd of
6,000 which purchased almost
$5,000,000 worth of war bonds
began leaving the park.
But catcher Billy- Raimondi
lined a single to left and went to
second when Al McElreath kicked
the ball around. Tom Hafey was
nominated to pinch hit for pitcher
Red Mann and came through with
the basehit that brought Rai
mondi in with the tying marker.
Floyd Stromme, who received
credit for the win, blanked the
Sacs in the 10th. Norm DeWeese
opened Oakland's half of the
frame with a double. Wood pur
posely walked Les Scarsella.
Frank Hawkins' hit a long fly
to left and DeWeese went to third
after the catch,
Picetti Grounds .
Vic Picetti smashed a ground
er at second baseman Gene Hand
ley who wasted a second tagging
out Scarsella, then threw to first
in an attempt to complete a dou
ble play. But Picetti was safe by
a step and DeWeese had scored
the tie-breaking tally.
Carl Dumler of San Diego, who
had a nine-game winning streak
earlier In the season, suffered his
fourth straight loss as Hollywood
clubbed him off the hill in four
innings. Bob Williams had the
Padres baffled until the ninth
when he had to be relieved by
Joe Mishasek.
