U.R Living strictly on "borrowed time," the runner-up Brook' lyn Dodgers take the field today against the Philadelphia Phils. But regardless of the outcome. it's the Cincinnati Reds-Cardinal game at St. Louis tonight that's keeping a faint flicker of hope alive for Flatbush. ' It Is necessary, of course, for the Dodgers to beat tha Phils, the Braves twice and the Phils again In their two-game season windup. But unless either the Reds or Chicago Cubs come through to trim the Redbirds, Brooklyn automatically will go out of the running. ' The Cardinals matched the Dodgers' 9-8 success over the Giants at Ebbets field yesterday with a 9-3 triumph over the Pir ates at Sportsman's park to maintain their lead of 2Vi games. The victory for both teams reduced the Cards' pan-nant-clinching figure to "3." Any combination of St. Louis victories or Brooklyn defeats ad' ding to that digit will bring the flag home for the Redbirds, ' St. Louis has four more games to play while Brooklyn has five, Including today's contest. Rip Sewell blanked the Cards for four innings yesterday while the Pirates pounded Howie Pol let from the mound with a three-run surge in the third. However, the Redbirds rallied for six runs In the fifth an as sault featured by Rookie Stan Musial's homer with three on. The Cards clinched It with three more In the sixth off Bob Klinger. The Pirates garnered 11 hits to the Cards' 10 but com mitted five errors. Ten pitchers, Including French, saw duty In the Giant Dodgers 12 'Inning endurance contest which was climaxed by Dolph Camilli' game-winning homer, his 25th of the year, with none on in the 12th. The Giants held a 4-0 lead going Into the fourth, but the Brooks knocked out Tom Sunkel and tied the score. Bad fielding kept the Dodgers In constant hot water, 13 Giant blows being supple mented by four Brooklyn errors. Cincinnati walloped Chicago In both ends of a double bill by the same score, 4-1. Yanks Win ' In the only two American c6& ffm ?-?M ttA Three of the nation's speediest track men, from left: Jim Jurkovlch and Hal Davis, sprinters, and Orover Klemmer, quartermller, gladdened the heart of arid Coach Stub Allison when they turned out for practice on the University of Calif omla greensward.

By Tommy Darin United Press Correspondent Chicago, Sept. 23 (U.R) BUI Mcn.ecnnie, scholarly manager of the Cincinnati Reds, today disputed the popular belief that the Mew York Yankees "mur der fast ball pitching." While "Deacon Bill" shied away from predicting the out come of the world series be tween the champion Yankees and the champion-to-be St. Louis Cardinals he expressed the opinion that the Red Bird hurl ers would prove plenty trouble some. He thinks a fast ball pitcher like the Cardinals' ace, Mort Cooper, could be as effective against the Yankees as he had been through the National league campaign. 'I don't see why not," Mc Kechnie said, "I don't subscribe to the idea that the Yankees murder fast ball pitching and I ve got a sound basis for my reasoning. When we played in 1939 they had that same repu tation, but it didn't turn out that way even though we lost the series In four straight games. Paul Derringer and Bucky Walt ers were fast ball pitchers and the Yanks didn't do any 'mur dering' of them. Derringer gava em six hits and they beat him 2 to 1 in the opener. Then they trimmed Walters 4 to 1 In the second game. Paul and Bucky came back in the fourth game and were beaten in 10 innings when our infield blew up. The Yankee power was represented pretty much then by the same players it is now." Players Compared While refusing to forecast the series results because of the breaks that might figure in the outcome, the Redleg pilot was willing to compare players. "Neither Johnny Hopp nor Buddy Hassett is an outstanding first baseman," McKechnie said, "but I believe I'd give the edge to Hopp. Joe Gordon Is mighty good at second, but don't over look the fact that Jimmy Brown has played splendidly for the Cards since he took over. Marty Marion is the best shortstop in baseball. That fellow's a won der. Rizzuto's is good, but not Marion's equal. The Yankees have the better of it at third base with "Red" Rolfe over George Kurowski. "Joe Dimaggio and Charley Keller make any outfield tough and dangerous, but overall I don't think the Yanks will have anything on the Cardinals who'll have Terry Moore, Enos Slaugh ter and Stan Musial in there. They hit well and provide a gen uine defensive blanket." A holder of the U. S. navy's "medal of honor" enjoys special dispensation when he Is dis charged. No matter what his record was before his act of valor was performed, his slate is wiped clean. All sins of the past are forgiven.
