Brooklyn Dodgers Cinch To Have Lead on Holiday By UNITED PRESS -It may be rushing the holiday axiom a little, but the Dodgers were a cinch and the Yankees a near cinch to be in first place on July 4, making them tradition choices to go on and win their pennants. , Actually, both had more than axioms going for them at this stage of the race. Common sense dictated favoring them . all the; way, because of the manner they are taking command. Yet even though the Dodgers were five games in front after a 6 to 5 uphill triumph over the Leo Durocher On Griddle For Choices New York flJ.R) The new Leo Durocher demonstrated to day that he hasn't lost his old talent for putting himself on the skillet when he snubbed two players in rounding out the Na tional League's All-Star team which meets the . American league In Philadelphia July 8. Durocher passed over outfield er Del Ennis of the Phils in favor of Ralph Kiner of the Pirates and third baseman Bobby Adams of the Reds in favor of Bill Serna and Ransom Jackson of the Cubs. Both Ennis and Adams ranked .second in their positions in the "nationwide balloting, and their selection as reserves was regard ed as routine, although the rules did not make it mandatory. Del a Favorite Durocher picked himself a hot spot when he by-passed Ennis, because the 19th All-Star - game will be played in Philadelphia where Del is naturally a fa vorite. Philadelphia fans will point to Ennis .284 batting average and superior fielding skill compared to Kiner s .269 average. Kiner, of course, is one of the National league's greats as a home run king, but his work this year has been sub-par. He trailed Ennis in runs batted in, 26 to 34, and held only a five-homer edge over the Phils' star going into the week- . end. Durocher picked Serna and Jackson over Adams despite the Redleg third baseman's .295 average 11th highest in the league. Jackson was not even among the first five third base men in the nationwide poll. To represent the Reds, Leo chose Grady Hatton, who received only the fourth highest vote total among the second baseman. nnnn UuUlL Okkst nd most distinguished miR ttry school in the Northwest, board ing boys from first grade through high school.

Zoac State- Braves, they found no special comfort in being sure they would lead the pack at the mid- season holiday mark. For that was the case a year ago when they also were well in front on July, but they went on to blow the pennant. Widest Margin As for the Yankees, who are 4Vi games up on the virtually tied Red Sox, Indians, and White Six in second, place, they have their widest margin of the year, even though they still could lose the lead by July 4 if they drop all five games they play between now and then. Tradition and statistics still weigh " heavily in favor 6f the July 4 leader. In 31 out of 51 years in the National league the July 4 leader has gone on to win the flag.- In 35 out of 51 years, the July 4 leader has been the winner in the American. Solon Kicked The Yankees, meeting their most immediate challenge beau tifully, kicked second place Washington all the way back to fifth place in a pair of 5 to 0 and 3 to . 1 triumphs Sunday. The Nats were cooled off first by Al- lie Reynolds, who pitched his third two-hitter of the year, and then by rookie lefty Bill Miller who blanked them until" the final inning, The Dodgers defeated the Braves as Tommy Holmes deliv ered his first hit in a Brooklyn uniform, a seventh inning pinch- single against the team that fired him as manager earlier this month to bring home the win ning run.
