Williams Seems Sure
To Be Majors First
400 Hitter Since 80
Has .405 Mark Despite
Slump During Week;
Reiser Safe in N. L.
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The
major leagues are turning the last
corner before the end of the season
and Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox and Pete Reiser of the
Brooklyn Dodgers still are outrun-
championships.
With another week to go, Williams
has an average of 405 and splendid
chance to be the first 400 hitter in
the big leagues since Bill Terry hit
.40l for the New York Giants in
1880.
No one has finished above 400
in the American League since 1923
when Harry Heilman hit .4O3.
Williams dropped five points this
week, but unless he runs into a
string of tough luck next week
should enter the charmed circle.
Reiser slipped three points to 1886,
but all vestige of opposition disap-
peared at the same time.
Johnny Hopp of the st. Louis
Cardinals, who held the lead for a
few days in midsummer, was hitting
1926 and still threatening in second
place last Saturday. But this week
he made only four hits in seven
games and vanished from among the
10 leading hitters-skidding to .309.
During the same period Johnny
Mlze, who had been third at 1913,
dropped to BIT, although this was
good enough to tie Stan Hack of
the Chicago Cubs for second.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 90
Proudly boasting you can't beat
club like ours" Manager Leo Du-
rocher of the cocky and confident
Dodgers nominated his two ace hurl-
ers for double-header against the
PhlllieS today in the hope of boost
ing BrOokland's lead over the Cardi-
nails in their torrid National League
pennant fight.
This is our opportunity to put st.
Louis out of the race, and We aren't
going to muff it," declared Leo in
picking 20-game winners WhitloW
Wyatt and Kirby Higbe to oppose
the last-place but always danger
Gus Phillies in the start OF a five
game series which might determine
the flag chase.
Back from what Durocher de-
Scribed as the greatest Western trip
in Is years" the Flatbush outfit
spent yesterday in idleness while its
first-place margin was trimmed to
mere half game by the Card triumph
over Chicago.
Dodgers Win Hard Way.
They came from behind to win
games out West that gave me the
greatest thrill l ever had in my life"
said Leo They can't beat us from
now in. We beat the best pitchers
and the best clubs when the chips
were down. Sure, we're going to win
the pennant."
He shrugged off the $3.50 fine
levied on him by League Prexy Ford
Frick for his rumpus with Umpire
Magerkurth at Pittsburgh over a
balk called against Pitcher Hugh
Casey. which led to a Pirate win.
Insisting it wasn't balk, Durocher
added, 1--WE should have won the
game and of course I got sore. Any
red-blooded guy would do the same
thing. But that's baseball-tomor-
row is another day"
Right now his big worry is scalp
ing the Phillies. Wyatt. who has
been rested since his thrilling l-to-0
three-hit shutout over the Cards last
week, is slated to pitch the first game,
starting at noon (E. S. t.. He is
likely to be opposed by the veteran
Cy Blanton, who has won 6 and

career the last time the Dodgers
were in Shibe Park, giving up only
four hits and winning, to L.
The Phils, although beaten by the
Brooks in 13 of IS games this year,
have the reputation of kicking over
the traces at the wrong time. as the
Cincinnati Reds and the New York
Giants discovered in 1926 and 1884
In those years the Phils helped the
Cardinals win the pennant by beat
ing the Reds and Giants late in
September.
Interest has risen to high pitch
over the series that includes a
double-header on Sunday and a
single game Monday. Hundreds of
Brooklyn fans have made arrange

"Weatherly has been much over

Weatherly's present poundage Is
something of a mystery, because he
is under suspension for the second
time this season for failing to hustle
However, somebody who should know
what he's talking about squinted at
the scales recently and thought he
saw them hit 1872 pounds.
If the pay cut is too severe,
Weatherly might decide not to play
at all. He was a determined hold

Judgment after five weeks, prelim-
mary inspection, will conclude the
Redskins training in the West to-
night.

weeks ago. it will be an intrasquad
affair, with Sammy Baugh direct
ing the so-calied western" Red

ton led by Frank Filchock. Sole
purpose of the game, however. is to
determine which IL of the As men
on the squad will be released before
the remainder board the train for
Washington tomorrow morning.
Technically. As players still are
on the squad, but Rookie Guard
Truck Tornell of San Jose State
practically eliminated himself on
Wednesday when he dislocated his
right elbow in scrimmage. Tornell
was never seriously considered, and
participation in tonight's game
hadn't been counted upon to change
earlier opinion.
Several Benched by Illness.
Four players may be forced to watch
from the sidelineS, or possibly not see
the game at all, as tonsilitis has sent
three to bed in the past two days
and flu is confining another. But
because Center Bob Titchenal, Half
back Wilbur Moore and End Bob
Masterson never were regarded in
danger of losing their jobs, their
possible absence isn't expected to
make much difference, except as 1t
handicaps their respective teams.

Tackles TuiIenders
While Cards Bottle
Cubs and Pirates
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer


The baseball season is getting
shorter by the minute and perhaps
solution to the struggle in the
National League is getting nearer by
the same reckoning-but it isn't Wis
ible to the naked eye.
While the Brooklyn Dodgers were
in Philadelphia yesterday frltterlng
away an off day, the st. Louis Car
dinals were busy blistering the Chi
cago Cubs, 81, and making the race
in the senior circuit just about as
close as it can get.
Today the standings are:
Won. Lost. Pct. GB oP
81. sTo9klyn Iogia - g g 81 ,S43 'sss y 3
For the first time in months the
two rivals have exactly the same
number of games left to play-and
the pressure that has been and still
is on the Cardinals becomes readily
apparent.
Tie Game Appears Vital.
The fortunes of the contenders
may f1uctuate between now and the
close of the campaign a week from
tomorrow. but if during that time
the Dodgers win exactly as many
games as the Cards, Brooklyn will
get the pennant.
st. Louis has to win one game
more than the Dodgers down the
homestretch because of the tie the
Cards played with the New York
Giants last week.
This assignment is made all the
more difficult because Brooklyn has
seven games with the last-place
Phillies and two with the seventh
place Boston Braves, while the Car
dinals must tackle the Chicago Cubs
five times and Pittsburgh four.
The Cardinals have shown no
sign of cracking. The return of
Terry Moore to center field and the
addition Of some rookie strength
has given them new power for the
final lap.
Cardinal Rookie Stars.
Yesterday, in the only ma Tor
league game scheduled, they looked
as good as ever in bowling over the
Cubs, who only couple of weeks
ago knocked ST. Louis out of first
place.
Moore hit two doubles and Stan
Musial, a 20-year-old outf1elder Just
promoted by Farmer Branch Hickey,
collected a double. two singles and
walk. This pair sparked a run
across in the first inning and two
more in the fifth.
With this backing, Poker-Faced
Harry Gumbert pitched 7-hit ball
to obtain his 11th victory of the sea-
son and fifth straight.
The Cards are so close to the
Dodgers as result that they car
take over first place today by two
percentage points If Brooklyn should
split its double-header with the
Phillies.
They're likely to stay that close
right down to the wire.
