Henry L. Strobel, ten gallon hat

Giants on the wing He's a willy
duck. however. because people have

What's the idea of letting the

Why didn't you all tell the Army
where TO get off? And what's the

Easy. easy. boys, Busky Harris is
about to get on the wing. Get him

Phillies and the Cubs, a couple of
feeble second divisionists. could
stick out their chests today and
strut around with important airs
because yesterday they dealt the
mountaineering Cardinals and
Dodgers pair of lusty Wallops where
they hurt most.
The Cards thought it was swell
when the sixth place Cubs took the
Dodgers for an afternoon buggy
ride, leaving the gate open for
them to narrow Brooklyn's National
league LEAD to half game. But
the tailend Phillies slammed the
gate right in the Cardinals face
last night and left Billy South
worth's crew just where they we're
game and a half in arrears. Then
it was the Dodgers turn to laugh.
Defeat caught up with the Cards
just wh2n they were about to chalk
up precious victory. They led, 4-3,
going into the last of the ninth
but things happened with startling
suddenness. If the Cards lose the
pennant by one game, the night
of Aug. 81 will give them many

after pitching magificently for six

only one hit but stumbled going
down the stretch. Coming into the

heavy In Cleveland. Philadelphia

doesn't mean that the legal limit is
confined to the managers who shall
be discussed in this essay.
You, too, can shoot at a manager.
Remember that game back in June
when he sent a pinch hitter in for

hitter famed with the winning run

The easiest target for the hunters
is poor old Roger Peckinpaugh of
the Cleveland Indians. What right
has he got to blow the pennant
when everybody told him last spring
that the Indians were cinch? II
seems that Peck's chief crime is
that he is too easy going. He doesn't
crack down on the players and
make them hustle. Why, he even
told them last spring that they
could take a beer now and then il
they wanted it. What that Cleve-

Oscar Witt would be just the ticket
