Dodgers, Giants To
Open 3-Game Series
Br MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
There's little joy in Brooklyn
today even with a plush 12Vi
game lead because suddenly
everyone from owner Walter
O'Malley on down has started
remembering an even bigger
margin the Dodgers blew in '51.
"We're not getting the least
bit cocky about out lead," O'Mal
ley said. "Like the elephant, we
have long memories in Brook
lyn and we still remember 1951.
We were 13 Vfe games ahead in
August, yet we lost. And here
it is only June."
None of the Dodger players
were spending those World Ser
ies shares yet, either.
"You never feel safe no mat
ter how big a lead you have,"
said outfielder Duke Snider. "I
remember being with a Montreal
club that had an even bigger lead
than we have now but still lost."
It was an open date for all
clubs in the majors Monday but
it's back to the wars for all of
'em today.
