By FRED DOWN
United Press International
Johnny Podres and Duke
Snider, the heroes of Brook
lyn's only world champion
ship, have given the Dodgers
a mighty push toward their
first pennant in Los Angeles.
Climaxing a dramatic three-
game sweep with their 8-2
rout of the Giants Sunday,
the Dodgers seized a half-
game lead in the frantic three-
cornered National league
scramble with only a week
left to play. No seventh-place
team even has won a pennant
the following year but that's
the goal at which the Dodgers
are shooting.
The Milwaukee Braves,
who moved into second place
with their 8-5 victory over
the Phillies, can tie the Dodg
ers for first place by winning
- at Philadelphia again tonight.
After today, all three contend
ers will have five games left
the Dodgers and Giants
against the Cubs and Cardi
nals and the Braves against'
. the Pirates and Phillies.
The Americaji league race.
meanwhile, may be settled
Tuesday nifht when the Chi
cago White Sox play the
- Cleveland Indians. The White
Sox need only win that game
to clinch their first flag in
; 40 years.

you were away for the week
end-the San Francisco Giants

league race. -
Just when the Giants were
flexing their muscles over
the way they had routed War
ren Spahn in the first inning,
along came the Los Angeles
Dodgers who knocked them
off three times in a row.
As a result of the. fiasco,
Los Angeles led the National
league ' today,' Milwaukee
dogged them a half-?ame be
hind in second and San Fran
cisco landed with a dull thud
into third place - one .game
out.
M-nager Bill Rigney's
"shocked" troops took a day
off today befpre opening at
Chicago Tuesday inthe first
of a five-game road trip which
will wind up the regular sea

The Dodgers downed them,
4-1 and 5-3 in a split twin bill
Saturday, then tacked on an
8-2 lacing Sunday.
Smith Returns
To NY Yankees
New York (UPD Miyo
Smith has returned 1 to the
New York Yankees' organiz

that Smith, 44, will be "field
executive with duties as

rebuilding program to recap
ture the American league pen
