 New York, April 26.--(UP)- Change the name of Arkansas, vote for Winterbottom for president. sing the whiffenpoof song-do any, thing you care to but don't make the colossal mistake of even irl- timating that the Brooklyn Dodgers aren't World Series bound. If you do, stay far away from the and of FlatbuSh. You can easily be ,nobbed along the Gowanus canal for sug- gesting that the Dodgers are likely to lose a ball game some time soon.
 The Dodgers are the only un- beaten team in the majors with five straight victories. Somehow the goggle-eyed Dodger fan ignores the fact that the Dodgers victories have been scored at the expense of the pitiful Boston Bees, who haven't won 8 game, the pathetic Phillies. who've won oly one, and the Giants, who definitely are in the formative stage.
 All reason runs riot in the land of Dodgerville. Hugh Casey, who has notched two victories, IS going to Supplant Bucky Walters as the National leagues No. pitcher. The Dodger infield is the claSsiest in baseball. Charlie Gilbert is the rookie of the year. Roy Cullenbine, not Benny Mccoy, is the prize chat tel freed by Commissioner Landls in the Detroit house cleaning That's what they're saying on every corner in Flatbush, and then they ask: "How do you think we'll do against the Yankees?" Before you've had time to answer, the Flatbush fam atics chirp, well beat those buns four straight"
 There's no answer to the Brooklyn chants. Until the day of reckon- ing, all must ride the Dodger band wagon or keep quiet. Casey did his stuff again yesterday, beating the Phils, 3-1, for Victory No. 2. Dolf Camillis homer was the winning punch. Morrie Arnovich's scratch single-one of the five hits made off Casey-scored Schulte with the only run made off the Brooklyn ace in two games.
 I1izzy Dean came back from the graveyard to yank the Reds out Of the unbeaten class. He pitched the Cubs to a Az victory, outduellng Paul Derringer. He gave up only five hits, and two errors figured in tho two runs made off him in the first inning. The Cubs rapped Der ringer for Il safeties.
 The Cardinals power exploded 22 hits as St. Louis beat out the Pir- ates, 1O-9. Pepper Martin, with three hits, drove in four runs.
 Rizzo Benched
 The Pirates, battling gamely from behind 6-1 deficit, narrowly missed tying the score in the ninth when Pap Young was thrown out at the plate. Frankie F'risch finally benched Rizzo and Robays for the Waner brothers and they delivered five hits, with Lloyd getting four:
 Bill Lohrman, allowing six hits pitched the Giants to thelr third straight win, 9-1 triumph over the Bees. a hopeless looking outfit Burgess Whitehead hit home run through the infield. Johnny Ruck- CT. the Giants touted rookie, 1ln- ally got going, and slashed out three hits, one triple.
 Bob Feller's collapse was only temporary. He came back 70 pitch the Indians to a 3-1 victory over the White Sox, again beating Edgar smith. Rollie Hemsley and Je1f Heath hit homers. Teller and Smith each famed eight.
 Buck Newsom allowed only five hits and Pinky Higgins homered with Rudy York on base as Detrolt climbed into second place with a AZ victory over the Browns.
 washington scored six runs in the ninth after two were out to peat the Athletics, 7-6. Gerald Walkers dou- ble with the bases loaded was the big punch.
