NEW YORK, May 81. CUP) -
When a major league team contin-
ues TO lead its league despite spotty
pitching, poor hitting, and only
ordinary fielding it is time to make
an investigation, even though that
team be Brooklyn, a club long noted
Tor bizarre behavior.
So, such an inquiry was made BY
this observer of the baseball scene
on yesterday and he is prepared
to tell you why the Dodgers are
on top in the National instead OF
some more gifted group of outdoor
artisans. Here's the explanation.
and in the pure. clear words Of their
manager. Leo Durocher:
They're hustling like hell.
Durocher says that in all of his
is years in baseball he has never
seen a team with the spirit. the
drive. the out and out hatred OF
defeat that the 1910 Dodgers have.

NEW YORK, May 27. CUP
- Situations change over
night in baseball. After be
ing beaten in three out OF
his four most recent starts
Paul Derringer, co-ace of the Gin
cinnati Reds pitching staff, was
being marked last week by the
jmnp-to-conclusion boys as about
ready for the cleaners. They has
tened to peer at the record books
and note Derringer's age as "a
come next october.
They surmised Paul was about
ready to hit the skids. The tipoffS,
they insisted. was that his control
was errant. 1t is well known fact
that when Derringer is right he
can hit a gnat in the eye at 60
feet
Everybody became worried except
Derringer. When the Bees and Phil
lies knocked him out of the box
and the Giants beat him. Derrin-
ser passed it off philoSophically
with lust hard luck. But the huge
Cincinnati pitcher gave the conclu-
Slve answer yesterday that his
mighty right arm is better than all
right when he BANKED the Cardi-
mails on one hit Not a single Car
dinal reached second as the Reds
triumphed. 40.
Derringer walked two and famed
seven as he scored his fourth vic
tory against four defeats. An in
field single by Stu Martin in the
first inning was the only hit off
Derringer. Only one other time did
the Cards come close to a hit and
then wal Goodman raced way back
TO grab Joe Orengo's fly in the
eighth.
The Reds stab to regain first
place was Sidetracked when the
Dodgers put on a thrilling finish
TO nose out the Phillies. 2-1. in 10
innings. Kirby Higbe held the Dodg-
2rS 10 one hit until the ninth when
with ono out, Dixie Walker. who
had singled earlier, got his second
single Then Lavagetto sent Gene
Moore, running for Walker. to third
on single and he counted on Cam
