SCHROEDER NEW TENNIS
KING: TO ENTER NAVY

NEW YORK, Sept. Sup -
Ted Schroeder, the new national
amateur tennis champion, headed
for Annapolis today to swap his
net whites for navy blues.
The husky 21-year-old from
Glendale Calf, who won the title
before 10000 fans at Forest Hills
yesterday with an Sc, rs, 3-6,
4-6 6-2 victory over frankie Parker
of Los Angeles, planned to stow
his racquet in duffle bag pos
sibly for the duration"
Il don't think people can say I
was lucky in succeeding Bobby
Riggs as Champion" the intercol-
legiate king from Stanford Uniyer-
sity said They said it was an
easys field, but I'll tell you, I don't
think frankie ever played better
tennis than he did in our three
hour final yesterday"
Leading off in the final set, Par
ker held service but Schroeder
blasted his delivery in the third
game. He held his own and then
smashed through Parker again for
a Al lead. Schroeder then went
to 40-love on Parker's service but
the one-time Davis cupper, now a
Hollywood technician on vacation,
fought off match point to hold
service. Schroeder stepped in then,
with a driving service that blew
the veteran off the court to take
the title.

THE DAYS W. "-
SPORTS PARADE

fans and virtually all opposing
players.
Never can we recall that base
ball outfit dropped from enthusiast
ic public acclaim to nationwide dis
like in such short order as the
Dodgers of 1912. And never can we
recall club that became so vio-
lently hated, almost overnight, by
opposing players.
without fear of contradiction, we
can state that all baseball - with
the lone exception of few rabid
fans residing in Brooklyn-hope
that the Dodgers lose out to the
Cardinals in the pennant race.
WHAT HAPPENED?
What has happened since the
last world series to create this sit
uation? The answer is quite simple:
the Brooks couldn't stand pros
perity.
Larry MacPhail, president of the
Dodgers, started feuding with the
baseball writer's, as did Manager
Lippy Durocher. Their players be-
gan lording it over opposition per-
formers. AS a result the Dodg-
ers, who at this time last year
warmed the cookies of most Ameri-
can hearts, are now one of the most
actively disliked outfits in baseball
history From San Diego, Calf,
to Portland, Me-, fans are beginning
to groan when Brooklyn registers
victory that threatens to extend
its lead over the Cardinals.

ers and fight through one thinning
contest.
SIX MOUNDSMEN
Since. Manager Leo Durocher
needed six moundsmen to gain an
even break with the Braves at Bos-
ton yesterday, he scheduled Rookie
Ed Head for mound duty against
Bob Klinger today. Head has not
started a game since Aug % and
has won only seven while losing
five. He hasn't gone the route since
May is when he clicked for a two
hit performance against the Pr
ates.
Klinger has lost his last five
starts and has compiled a record of
eight triulnphs against II setbacks.
Dolph Camilli's three-run homer
in the first inning carried the
Dodgers to an la triumph over
the Braves yesterday III the first
game. But Brooklyn bowed in the
nightcap, 5-3, to leave the stand
ings unchanged as the Cards divid-
ed with Pittsburgh The Pirates
scored II runs in one inning to top
pie st. Louis, 11-6, in their first
game, but Pittsburgh went under,
Ga, in the nightcap.

LAKE FROM SACS

BOSTON, Sept. 3-(UP) - The
Boston Red Sox announced today
that they had purchased Eddie
Lake, shortstop Of the Sacramento
club of the Pacific coast league
and a former member of the st.
Louis Cardinals system.
Lake, 25, will report next year to
fill the vacancy caused by the en-
listment of Johnny Pesky in naval

Lake has hit II home runs, 33

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Sept. 8-(UP) -
If psychology has any bearing upon
the current National league pen
nant race, you can figure right
now that the st. Louis Cardinals
are in.
Last season the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers won out in a tight stretch race
with the Cardinals on the strength
of every possible psychological
break. In Al, the Dodgers were
known as THE Beloved Buns"
and almost every citizen in the
United States was pulling for a
Dodger victory.
Even the men on opposing teams,
with the lone exception of the
Cardinals, were hoping for
Brooklyn victory. They were that
we'll liked.
MASSED FERVOR
Perhaps this massed fervor for
the Flatbushers lifted the Dodgers
into playing a bit-just bit =
above their heads when that teeny-
weeny bit meant so much. And
perhaps the opposing players
merely carried on as normal when
their teams had no chance of get
ting into the world series. Who
can say?
But in the current flag fight the
psychological set-up is entirely diff
ferent. The Beloved Buns" of
yesteryear are just plain BUNS"

addition to Lanier, Murry Dickson
and HOWE Pollet took a good lac
ing. The first 10 runs of the inn
ing were earned and helped Rip
Sewell hang up his 18th victory.
Johnny Beazley, Pitching with
only two days rest, won his 18th
victory with a nine-hitter for st.
Louis in the nightcap. The Pirates
hit him hard and only in the third

one, each drove in two runs for
the Cards.
The Giants ran the Phils' losing

CT these, all two-year letterman,
Smith and Fears are the best on
past performances. Smith was a
sensation pass catcher last sea-
son and Fears was extremely tough
on opposing linesmen.
Horrell lost little material to the

the loss of Jerry Grubb, veteran
