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.

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.
