THE EENB BULLETIN CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER SPORTS GENERAL NEWS Volume LVII BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, ORE GON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1947 No. 65 St. Louis Wins To Cut further Into Brooks' Lead New York, Aug. 21 ilPi Branch Ilickey, who reluctantly but hap pily was beginning to admit he was wrong, retreated today to his original view that the Brooklyn Dodgers possibly were one year away from a pennant. As the season started, the Dodg er owner admitted that his young sters were good, but oaid that the seasoned St. Louis Cardinals would be the team to beat until his rookies had more experience. But the Brooks set out to prove him wrong, and not so long ago held a 10-game lead over the Cards. Rickey privately began to ' confess that his team might bloom into championship caliber a little early. " ' 4 It looked that way when the Dodgers beat the Redbirds a dou bleheader Monday, but St. Louis came back to win a single game Tuesday, setting up yesterday's game as an extremely important one, for it would decide whether Brooklyn went into the last five weeks of the season with a 6V2 game lead or a 4!4 game margin. Lead by i't Gaines The margin was 4 Ms today, be cause the Brooklyn rookies, good as they were, didn't quite match up to the Cardinal veterans the "old pros." 1 For a while it seemed as though it would be a great day for the young blood. Jackie Robinson doubled home a Dodger run in the third inning, and Ralph Branca, just reaching stardom although he has been a Dodger for several seasons, had a no-hit game until Whitey Kurowski singled in the eighth. Brooklyn scored in the eighth for a 2 to 0 lead. But Branca cracked in the ninth and walked two men, although he got wo out. Hugh Casey came on and Ron Northey singled one run home. Kurowski, a star since 1942, dribbled a grounder toward third baseman Johnny Jorgensen, one of the best of the Brook rookies. Jorgenson "froze," then fumbled the ball. The game was tied. Brooklyn almost scored in the 10th, but Chuck Diering's fine throw from right field caught Ed Stanky at the plate. Kurowski Homers Kurowski, first man up in the 12th, hit the first pitch for a home run. But Brooklyn wasn't finished. Robinson led off the Dodger 12th with a single and took second on Pete Reiser's bunt. The eager Jackie, best baserunner in the league, strained too far off sec ond and Relief pitcher George Munger, unperturbed by Jackie's dancing, picked the rookie off base. That was the ball game for St. Louis, 3 to 2. Johnny Mize, keeping alive faint hopes of matching Babe Ruth's homer record of 60 in a year, got his 37th and 38 roundtrippers as the Giants split with Cincinnati, 10 to 3 for New York and 3 to 2 for the Reds. The Giant victory in the opener ended an eight-game losing streak. Jim Russell hit a triple, double and three singles as Pittsburgh beat the Boston Braves, 16 to 10, in a sloppy game.
