CIubWon't 'tCurI,

Dodgers Slip
Admits Going Is Tough
But Were All Right
Insists Durocher
Bv JOHN FRYE.

CINCINNATI. July 23.-If you
think Leo Durocher subscribes to
the propaganda that his Dodgers
can't do it, just ask Leo Durocher.
Leo is not saying they Will. but he
is saying that the prayers Of the
2000000-odd denizens Of that happy
borough OF Brooklyn are being
heard and will be answered II
there's anything in baseball played
from the heart out
I'm not predicting anythlng,"
said Manager Leo little reserved
as a result Of yesterdays bloWUp
which handed the Cincinnati Reds
a 5-4 ninth-inning victory al time
when Luke Hamlin had every right
in the world TO claim a. least q Al
plastering of the world champions
and Bucky Walters.
Dodgers Luck Poor.
I'm not predicting anything, and
I never do" he said. but we're in
there playing all the time and we're
all right. That game was one Of
those things. and it was Just another
ball game. We played good game,
and we're going to keep on playing
good games"
Leo was dead right. The Dodgers
PLAYED the kind of ball the local
fans used to expect to see II times
a year around here.
They may be the Daily Dodgers,
but the cool and calculating Reds
couldn't reach the home plate from
third with a casting rod until the
breaks started their way.
Without chiSeling bit on Chuck
Aleno's heroic pinch triple that
knocked in three runs to tie the
score. it may be said that il will be
years before he gets three more
bases off the handle Of his bit.
BROOKLYN Itinerary Tough.
Leo admitted that the Brooks have
one tough itinerary for the re-
mainder of the season and added
graphically, IT'S all even from here
out"
From here they go to Pittsburgh
for five games in three days: thence
to St. Louis for two games: to Chi
cago for three; home for two with
the Giants. one in each park and
bath at night, and it's August g.
before they pick up soft touch like
the Boston Braves at home.
The Dodgers already are off 10
bad start. dropping five of their last
six games and backing into tie
with the St. Louis Cards for first
place, nine games ahead Of the
Reds.
But, says Leo, Were in there
playing and we're all right"

Trainer Jacobs Slips to Top,
Showing Wizordry as Reply
To Talk About His Fading

HlrsCh is famous for bringing
broken-down cripples. old handicap
relics and even studs" back to the
races, ready to win first pop out.
He seems to improve any horse he
claims. He has specialized almost
exclusively in cheap-selling platers,
but every once in a while he gets
them good enough to race in more
expensive company. Like Ben
Jones, Jacobs holds hard work and
individual attention to each horse
is the formula for successful train
ing.
Recent weeks saw Jacobs adding
to his reputation as horses in his
care Jumped up the ladder to popu-
lar triumphs
Makes Winner of Wreck"
There was Marriage, which used
to race against top-notchers but
went wrong. Hirsch grabbed him
out of clairner for S1.400. The
other day the broken-down gelding
ran for $4,000 for his seventh
straight win. Total Eclipse, in stud
last spring, was picked up for $4,000,
and promptly won several races, one
a handicap. Air Brigade cost Jacobs
$4,000 last February, went on to take
seven races, including handicaps,
and now runs in the best company.
Jacobs broke into racing in 1924
with Charles Ferraro, his partner
in the pigeon business. In the fall
of 1925 he raced horse in his own
name for the first time In 1886 he
set the American record for winners
in a season with 100. Some records
give him only 178, but he says he
has proof it was 180.

Ry FRED HAYDEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK. July 23-Hirsch
Jacobs is patching up those plugs
again and sending them into the
winners circle regularly, and all
that talk about his slipping" as a
conditioner of horses is now just an
extra chapter in Joe Miller's joke
book.
The quiet little former pigeon
fancier, who turned horse trainer
and led all American conditioners
for seven straight years through
1899, did slip last year. He slipped
all the way down to second place in
the national standings, which is like
saying Ted Williams is all washed
up because his batting average
dropped from 400 to 1896.
Back in Old Form.
But now Hirsch is back again
pulling those rabbits out of the hat,
and the honeymoon" the other
trainers had while he slipped" is
over. HIrsch is close to the 10
mark in winners he has saddled for
1o41. and holds a lead of about a
dozen over plain Ben Jones and the
rest.
The unassumlng. affable 37-vear-
old wizard of the turf, who trains a
sizable string for his wife, Isidore
Beiber and several others. is top
man at the current Empire City
meeting, just as he was in the re-
cent Delaware campaign. At the
latter meeting, he saddled more
than twice as many winners as his
nearest rival.

would be more dangerous with ad-
ditional heft.
Mickey wasn't swinging for dis
tance against Paul Trout and
Archie McKain. but his timely in-
sertion OF three singles figured in
all the Mats runs. In the frs:
inning he sWatted a single TO CEN

Lewis, both of whom had singled.
In the third inning Mickey fol-
lowed Lewis walk and Travis sin
gle with another hit, scoring Buddy.
Travis was whipped out attempting
to take third. but Vernon took
second on the throw, went to third
when Center Fielder Tuck Stain
back dropped George Arches easy
fly and scored after Early flied deep
to Stainback.
Travis double and Vernon's sim
gle presented the Mats what de-
veloped to be the winning margin
in the seventh inning, for in the
meantime the Tigers weren't twid-
ding their thumbs.
Detroit produced a run in the
first when Stainback walked, took
second as Bloodworth fumbled
Barney McCosky's grounder, ad-
vanced to third on Pinky Higgins
sacrifice and scored on Rudy York's
single to right.
Birdie Tebbetts shaved the Mats
advantage to 4-3 in the sixth when
he singled to score York and Bruce
Campbell and the Tigers threatened
to tie the score in the ninth when
Stainback doubled with one cut
and scored on McCosky's single.
At that point. however. the Mats
came up with their fourth double
play of the game when Travis
scooped up Higgins grounder. step
ped on second to force McCosky,
and threw to Vernon to retire Hig-
gins.

victory of the season. The game will
start at $50.
Washington has been no minor
factor in Detroit's decline. for 9
times in Is games the Mats have
triumphed over the Tigers, who
skidded within a game of sixth place
yesterday as Sid Hudson checked
them with eight hits to register q
5-4 win.

another game the burly right

1t has been a dreary year for
Newsom and the Tigers, but their
plunge at least has served to insert
some pleasure into the lives OF the
Mats. Hudson particularly has rel
ished meeting Detroit, for four OF
his six victories have been compiled
at the expense of the Tigers.
Hudson is finding the Tigers
charming company. He has faced
them five times this season and
twice has beaten them on eight hits.
once on six safeties and another time
on three hits. The Browns and
White Sox have been the only other
clubs to bow to him.
Sid has developed an admiration
for First Baseman Mickey Vernon,
for it was slim Mickey who sent four
Washington runs Gathering across
the plate with three singles yester-
day. Vernon scored the Mats other
run
Vernon has installed himself as
a threat to displace Shortstop Cecil
Travis as the Mats leader in getting
mates home. Batting an encourag-
ing .3O4, Mickey has driven across
so runs, while Travis has batted in
only nine more runs despite his lofty
.370 hitting.
The leagues pitchers have learned
to regard Vernon with respect in a
ticklish situation. for Mickey is dem

specimen in the clutch. In his first
