Charlie Keller Out
OF World Series Due
To Injured Ankle
Clipped Fracture to
Keep Former Maryland
Star Out of Action
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Charlie
Keller, star left fielder for the
Yankees, was found today to have
suffered a chip fracture of the right
ankle and probably will not be able
to play again this season. The
ankle was placed in a cast.
DR.. Emmett Walsh, the Yankees
club physician, said there wasn't
chance" that Keller would be
able to play in the World Series.
The loss would deprive the Amer
lean League champions of one of
their most dangerous hitterS for
the big series with either the Brook
lyn Dodgers or st. Louis Cardinals.
Keller was injured sliding into
second base in yesterdays game
with Detroit at the Yankee Stadium.
At first the injury was thought to
be a simple sprain.
There also was found to be a
strained ligament in the ankle. If
Keller is out of the World Series,
his place will be taken by the vet
eran George Selkirk. Keller at
present is runner-up to Ted Will
liams of Boston for home run hon.
ors and leads both big leagues in
runs batted in. He has been ham,
pered for some time by charley
horse" in his left leg, and his team
mates had urged him to leave the
lineup, but he refused.
He shouldn't have been in there

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-The
Brooklyn Dodgers and st. Louis
Cardinals resumed their battle
for the National League pennant
this afternoon. with the veteran
Curt Davis opposing Rookie How
ard Pollet on the mound in the
second game of the series. About
5000 fans were in the stands.
A three-run rally in the fifth in
ming put the Dodgers ahead, to 2,
at that point.
Until the Dodgers arrived at
Sportsman's Park today, Manager
Leo Durocher wavered between
Davis and Whitlow Wyatt, ace of
the Brooklyn staff. The decision
to start Davis in the second game
and hold Wyatt for tomorrow's
final was made at meeting of the
players in the clubhouse. 1t was
based, Durocher said, on the fact
Wyatt had been used in relief at
Chicago Wednesday.
There was no hesitancy in Man
ager Billy SouthWorth's selection of
Pollet, the southpaw sensation of the
Texas League, to try to cancel yes
terday's 6-to-4 eleven inning Brook
lyn victory which lifted the Dodgers
two games in front of the Redbirds.
Pollet's only defeat since joining
the Cardinals last month was a s.
to- squeeze by the Dodgers. He
has won three games.
Both teams adhered to the same
batting orders used in the first
game of the series.
