' The Associated Pre "
Baseball folks were beginning to
wonder today whether Brooklyn
may be headed for the most spec
tacular smashup in ttie long Dodg
er tradition of blowing pennants,
nciuany, it would take a com
plete collapse by Brooklyn to
gether with an Incredible finish by
either of the two top contenders-
Milwaukee or New York to ac
complish the miracle. But those
wno still recall the late-.sea.son
slides of the Dodgers of 1942 and
1951 are convinced nothing is im
possible. Win or lose, the Dodgers cer
tainly haven't looked like pennant
winners since the All-Star break,
playing eight games under .500 ball
since July 9. Beaten for the third
straight lime by Philadelphia yes
terday, 6-4, the Dodgers limped
home wHh a record of 10 losses
in their last 14 games. Their 16',
game lead of Aug. 12 over Mil
waukee was trimmed to 11 in nine
days.
The Braves, continuing their
battle against huge odds, won their
fiflh in a row yesterday, humbling
Ihe Chicago Cubs 8-1. and Cincin
nati shut out St. oLuis 4-0 behind
the four-hit pitching of rookie Don
Gross.
Rain washed out the scheduled
double-header between the Giants
and Pirates in Pittsburgh.
The 1054 Duke University foot
ball team did not score a safety
or a field goal. Their opponents
didn't either.
Chicago's relentless White Sox
climbed within half a, game of
New York's American League
leading Yankee, sweeping a dou
ble-header from Detroit 3-0 and
8-2. Righthander Dick Donovan,
just three weeks after undergoing
an appendectomy, followed a four
hitter by Connie Johnson with a
well-spaced elght-hltter for his 14th
victory In 18 decisions.
The Yankees, on a winning skein
of their own, dumped Baltimore
6-1. Don Larsen pitched a six-hiU
ter. It was th Yankees' 10th vic
tory 'in the last 11 starts.
" Cleveland's third-place Indians
remained one game from the top,
walloping Kansas City 9-4 although
held to seven hits by loser Al
Ditmar. Ten bases on balls, to
gether with home runs by Larry
Doby and Gene Woodling. helped
the Tribe's cause. Woodling, the
ex-Yankee, also singled In two
other runs.
Boston's Red Sox remained very
much in the running, vanquishing
Washington 4-1 to remain 4'-2
games off the pace. A three-run
outburst against loser Chuck
Stobbs in the eighth snapped a 1-1
deadlock and gave rookie George
Busce his seventh triumph.
The slumping1 Dodgers jnsnaged
only six hits off winner Herman
Wehmeler, who won his 10th for
the Phillies with the help of re
liefer Jack Meyer. Homers ac
counted for all Philadelphia's runs
off six Dodger hurlers. Willie
Jones hit a grand slammer in the
third. Glen Gorbous and Del Emus
also homered to give the Phils an
early 6-0 lead.
The Dodgers made it 6-4, but in
the eighth, Meyer, in a relief
role, retired three batters with a
runner on third and nobody out.
The rookie right-hander filled the
bases on walks in the ninth but
ended the game by getting pinch
hitter Don Newcombe on a soft
fly.
The Dodgers haven't reached the
alarming stage yet but old Brook
lyn sufferers still haven't forgotten
that the Dodgers blew an early
August lead of 10'i games over
the Cardinals in 1942 and a mid
August 13'2-game lead over the
Giants nine years later.
