Boston Braves
May Sew Up
Pennant Today
New York, Sept. 22 ilPiThe
Boston Braves, who needed a "mir
acle" to win the National league
pennant in 1914, needed only one
jtvictory and a Dodger defeat to win
the nag today. ,
Only a slight ease of mathemat
Sics separated Billy Soiithworth's
Braves from the flag after they
swept a doubleheader from the
1 St. Louis Cardinals yesterday, 11
I to 3 and 4 to 0, while Brooklyn
dropped two games to Pittsburgh,
Boston, sporting a stylish seven'
and-a-half-game lead, has nine re
maining games to play, the same
number as Brooklyn. Either two
Boston victories or two Brooklyn
defeats also will give the Braves
their first senior circuit title in 34
years.
Johnny Sain, who registered his
22nd victory of the vear in the
oDener. scattered nine Redbird
ihits while hurling his 26th com
Iplete game and sixth triumph in

the second inning and five more
in the sixth sealed the verdict.

his ninth win in the second game

I fnnr hits. The Braves drove lef t-
ifhander Howie Pollet to cover in
!4 the first inning with three runs on
fa Cardinal error, Alvln Dark's
a stinging double, Mike McCormick's
single, three walks and a sacrifice
pit.
J Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn
1 12 to 11 in the playoff of a pro-
tested game on Aug. 25 and then
beat theOodgers again, 6 to 3 in
a regulation game. In playing
over part of the ninth inning of
I the Aug. 25 contest, the Bucca
Ineers loaded the bases and pushed
'across three runs on Stan Rojek's
I double off Tom Brown's glove.
The three runs gave Pittsburgh a
total of six in the ninth, just
enough to beat Brooklyn.
I Little Vic Lombardi, an ex
CDodger, held Brooklyn to five hits
?in the regular scheduled contest
while the Pirates collected seven
' hits off losing pitcher Rex Barney
S and Carl Erskine.

There was a dull, vacant stare in
Tony Zale's blue eyes, a look
which had all the lost listlessness
of amnesia.
It had been there several times
during the 11 rounds he pawed
hopelessly at the elusive shadow
in front of him. It was there
when he pitched forward on his
lace to lose the middleweight
championship of the world to
Marcel Cerdan.
And It still was there a half
hour later as he slumped on a
chair in his dressing room, wrap
ped in asheet. He looked like a
body in the morgue, a body on
which they carelessly had forgot
ten -to close the eyes.
Finally Cornea To
Finally he moved. Jerky like a
puppet on a string, but still those
empty blue eyes couldn't seem to
focus. And it seemed to be all hje
could -do to summon a husky
whisner in which the words
fought their way through the
thin, battered lips.
"I Just wasn't there," Zale's
voice rattled almost inaudibly. "I
didn't feel right from the start.
I think I had him hurt in the
fourth round but he got away."
The medical examiner had
cqjne out of Zale's dressing room
a few minutes earlier.
"Complete exhaustion," the doc
said.
And Tony looked the part. This
wasn't the famed "man of steel"
who used to knock them dead
with crippling punches to' the
body. He had tried. But Cerdan
hadn't given him anything to
shoot at.
Cerdan Looks Ooo
;The man from Morocco was a
will o'the . wisp who covered
beautifully, made tough Tony
look like a preliminary boy and
then swarmed over him with a se
ries of hooks which first filled
those blue eyes with perplexion
and then chased all reason away.
Now Cerdan, the new cham
pion, was down the hall in his
own dressing room, accepting
congratulations in a noisy bed
lam. Fifty million Frenchmen, or
so it seemed, all tried to kiss him
at once and Marcel was explain
ing his plans.
"I take two months in France
and then I come back here to de
fend the title against anybody
these people pick out," Cerdan
grinned.
