Hart and Dorozio, in Pink, Rate
About Even in Bout Monday

Al Hart, the big War College Negro
soldier, and Gus Dorazio, Philadel-
phia heavyweight, both were sched-
uled for sparring sessions today to
wind up heavy training for their To-
round bout on Monday night at
Griffith Stadium. Both are in trim
and plan only light exercise tomor-

The usual victory predictions have
been issued from each camp and the
oddmakers currently list the match
as a tossup at 6-5 and take your
choice There's an indication, how
ever, that Hart might have a slight
edge in the figures by ring time be-
cause of his local support.
Dorazio passed up sparring yester-
day in favor of road work, but had
a ring session listed today at 2:30
at the Ahearn gym on Ninth street.
Hart planned to drill at pm. Hart
is weighing 222 pounds, bit lighter
than in his last engagement, and
Dorazio is scaling 202, which figures
to be pretty close to the weights
they will carry into the ring on

Hart has been slightly more i'm
pressive in his gym work than Do
razio, with strong right hand es-
pecially hitting its mark. Dorazio
appears faster, however, and his
crouching style may make him diff
cult to hit, especially by the taller
Hart, except on his head and shoul-
ders where it does little damage.
Dorazio also has shown a fair left

Askmenow Held Best
Of Fi||ies, Mares in
$4,000 Be|dame
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-It is ladies
day at Aqueduct today and Askme-
now, 3-year-old owned by Hal Price
Headley, looms as the chief con-
tender for the s25 900 purse in the
Baldame Handicap. Only years
old, the race is the country's richest
for flllies and mares.
Askmenow will have George
Woolf, known to the trade as ''the
iceman," in the pilots seat and will
carry 119 pounds through the mile
and-an-eighth test.
Those two factors, in addition to
the young lady's recent triumph in
the American Derby at Chicago,
make her the choice over such other
top-f1ight running members of her
sex as William Woodward's Vagran-
cy, George Widener's Stefanita and
Warren Wright's Markell.
Markell, expected to be Askme-
now's chief competition, is loaded
with 126 pounds and Vagrancy,
queen of the 3-year-olds a year ago,
comes in with 122. She tied for first
in the 1942 Beldame with the Bing-
lin Stables Barrancosa. Stefanita,
winner over Askmenow In a brush
this year, will tote 116, including
Conn McCreary.
In all, dozen of the ladies were
named for the race that has a net
value Of $40, 800 for the winner.
Should Vagrancy triumph, her
earnings would give Woodward his
ninth thoroughbred with bank roll
of more than 100000.
Today's program closes the fall
Aqueduct meeting. The ponies next
move to Belmont Park.

Cards Out 10 CIinch
Second Straight
Crown Today
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press SPORTS writer.

Today should be the red-letter day
for the St. Louis Redbirds-the day
they clinch their second successive
National League championship.
The Cardinals, who eliminated the
second-place Brooklyn Dodgers. last
night by nosing out the Chicago
Cubs, 81, in 10 innings for Mort
Cooper's Goth victory, need only to
win either half Of double-h header
with the Cubs this afternoon to dis
pose of their last mathematical
challenger, the Cincinnati Reds.
In pressing right up to the tiresh-
old Of another World Series, the
Cardinals, and particularly the
Cooper brothers, acted like cham
pions. Mort pitched five-hit ball
and Walker made three Of the nine
hits given up by Claude Passeau, in
cluding double that drove home
the winning run In the 10th. Ray
Sanders homered in the fifth to tie
the score after the Cubs had count
ed in the third.
Yankees Must Wait.
On the other hand the New York
Yankees crumbled before Washing
ton, 6-3, ending a nine-game VIM
ming streak, and lost any chance Of
clinching the American League pen
nant before next Wednesday.
Idle today, the Yanks play the
Mats twice tomorrow and then have
open dates Monday and Tuesday.
Needing combination Of five VIC
tories or Washington defeats, New
York must sweep the Sunday double
header in order to be in a position
to clinch the championship We'd
nesday.
The Cardinals chore today was
made easier because both Brooklyn
and Cincinnati lost yesterday.
The Dodgers were whipped, Ga,
by the New York Giants on four
unearned runs in the seventh inning
after a wild throw by Sid Gordon

but no progress was reported.
Coach Dutch Bergman, it was an
nounced, was not greatly impressed
with the performance of Ernie
Steele, Steagles' halfback sought by
the Redskins, whom he saw in action
against the Bears in Philadelphia
Thursday night. The coach still is
looking around for a halfback to
provide the broken-field running
lacking so far in the Redskin attack.
Andy Farkas, veteran Washington
fullback, has not been mentioned in
any proposed trade, but a veteran
lineman definitely is on the market.
Reporting to the club today was

Norfolk Shamrocks and an exper-
fenced 'lineman. The Redskins will

Newark's 9-to-8 10-inning tri-

The Bears counted once in the
ninth to pun even with the Chiefs,
then had to score four times in the

Syracuse battered across in the top

1t was NeWark's first triumph in
the best of seven series. In the
other bracket, Toronto mastered
Montreal for the third straight

totaled 76 passes-was Johnny Cook,
160-pounder. He executed impress
sively the trick pass plays that gave
