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.
Rain stopped the Phil-Cub game
In the sixth inning with the score
tied at 1 to 1.
