BENTON WISHES TIGER MATES WOULD HELP
BY ALLEN V. BOWLING United Press Sports wrlteFD

tUntted Press Sports Wrleer
 Detroit, Sept. 2S-(UP)--Alton Benton, Q giant right handler from Noble, Okla, who has implied that his Detroit team mates let him down when he pitches, was named to 90 against Cleveland today In the game that could clinch at least tie for the American League pen- 1ant for the Tigers.
 Benton, the ex-sailor, insisted that he was no "Alibi Ike" and that his remarks didn't necessarily mean there was any dissension on the club, He simply wonders why hlJ mates can't give him more support in the batting and fielding depart- Fnents.
 Benton was the early season sen. sation of the Tigers, winning Ave out of six games, During that time his mates got Q total of II runs, less than two 6 contest for him. HO wasn't complaining about non. support then, apparently because he didn't need any The only game he lost was to o decision CO Washington when he gave Up Just four hits.
 Benton was well on his way then to c new American League earned run record of less than one per game and he gave up only % hltg or less than i've per game during the stretch,
 Things are different now, Trag- edy overlook Benton at PhIladei- phia on April 24 when 0 line drive broke his leg and took him out Of the lineup until July l, He started out again aS If to make up for lost time and won six more games whlls ) losing ono to make his record Il wins and two defeats.
 Headaches
 Then something happened. Just what Benton doesn't know himself. Maybe 1t was the migraine head- aches that caused his discharge from the Navy or maybe he uncoE- sciously was favoring his weak log. Twelve times in e row Benton went to the mound, Il as e starter and once as a relief pitcher, Tn each 0s his starting jobs he had to have relief and in the relief assignment he lost tho game, Ills mark today is iS victories and seven defeats.
 Manager Steve O'Neill said the team would just have to play bet. ter ball" behind him. O'Neill thinks Benton can beat the Indians, whc he Shutout for eight innings before they opened up on him for six runs last week,
 T think we're in," he said. We don't count on anything less than Q split here with the Indians. And that would clinch a tie for the hag But don't think that means we're goig to be satisfied with c split.
 Long Shot
 O'Neill said It was c "i to 70, shot that we will drop four games In q row and that's how terrible we would have to Do to lose the pen. nant to the Senators"
 The Tigers probably won't have to face Bob Foller, who tossed Q one.hitter ct them whom they faced him In Cleveland. He pitched Sun. day and won't De due again until after the Detroit series. But they must 90 against fAstsbAll0r Allie Reynolds, who holds c ga edge in games over them and Steve oro- mek, whose record Is 3-i agaIn0t thor1.
 Benton has won one and lost one against Cleveland and Nowhouser who will 90 Wednesday, has . S-9 record.

FORK MAY BE MOUND CHOICE AT 5 O'CLOCK

After sewing up the state bases ball championship last weekend with e S0-run barrage against tho West Haven Sailors, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, the Fred Davt Brasscos were allxiously awaiting their chance to defeat the first of three major league clubs when the Phillies of the National League come to Waterbury tonaor- row.
 At s D, m. the phils, with Jimmy Foxx, Ben Chapman, Tony Lupien, Jake Powell, Andy sirninick, Bitsy Mott and others will take the Mu- nicipal Stadium field against q Brassco outfit, that is expected to include at least six big-leaguers now in the armed forces. DaW ia still trying to get Walter Master son, Washington Senator pitcher who beat Cleveland's firo-baller, Bobby Teller, 10 days ago with a four-hit, 2-0 shutout performance, to hurl against the Philiies tomor- row afternoon, his chances being better since Clark 0rifnth's protest of an Athletic win in "a innings the other day was denied by Amer. ican League President Will Har- ridge.
 Harvard Man
 Luplen, phillies flrst-sacker who went from Harvard to the Red Sox to the phils, is a heavy hitter; while Hugh Mulcahy, on Army ser- geant until recently may start against the Brasscos, unless Mama ger Ben Chapman gives Foxx a whirl at pitching.
 1f the Brasscos can take the phil- lies, all they have to do is to take on the New York Yankees Friday afternoon and then wait for the Brooklyn Dodgers Saturday, Co complete the greatest week of base. ball ever lined up for any Cons necticut team, amateur, college OF professional.

CARDINALS CAN
 PASS CUBS IF THEY TAKE TWO
By WALTER BYERS Limited Press Sports Writer)

Chicago, Sept. % = (uP) - The St. Louis Cardinals, their backs to the wall, meet the league-leading Cubs at wrisley Field today in on eleventh hour" bid for their fourth consecutive National League pen. nant.
 Manager Bill southworth believes his Cards must sweep the two. game series from the Cubs If St. Louis fans are to see 0 world series next week. If the cocky, swaggering Cardinals snatch today's and to- morrow's games, they would take over first place by one-half game, thereby ending a Teddy chase ct the Cubs heels.
 Once in the lead, there is little chance the Champs from St. Louis
 So it's showdown baseball today with each club leading It's ace.
 The Cardinals, currently one and a half games behind, will pitch Harry (The Cat) Hrecheen, cunning lefthander who has whipped the Cubs four straight games this sea. son without Q defeat. And Manager Charley Grimm vii start Henry (Hank) Borowy, the silent pole from New Jersey whose nine victories since joining the Cubs Is the prin- cipal reason Chicago still Is leading the league.
 The Cubs have been hexed by Brecheen in particular and the Cardinals in general all season. Out of 90 games with St. Louis, the Cubs have won only Ave and Bor- owy has gained two of those vic- tories in l0-inning battles.
 Herculean Task
 Automatically, the Cubs could practically clnch the pennant with Q clean sweep of the two-ganie ser. ies, which would be Herculean task for them. They would still be sitting pretty If they split the series for they would then need only three victories in their remaining five games to tack down the flag even if the Cards swept their remaining four games.
 Here was the pennant picture at game time today:

 Remaining games for St. Louis -- At Chicago today and tomorrow; ct Pittsburgh ThuFsday; at Cincinnati Saturday and Sunday (2).
 The Cubs received c mild double setback to their pennant hopes yes- terday, Their douhleheader with the Pirates was rained out and the games were postponed until Satur. day at Pittsburgh, formerly an open date. In order to rest Up for their final stand ct Pittsburgh, the Cubs shifted their Friday game with Gin. ciilnatl to Thursday which gives them two doubleheaderS In three days.
 On top Of that, the Cubs lost the services of Ray (Pappy) Prim, their aging but ace southpaw. The death of his inother.ir.laW called him to Philadelphia and he won't rejoln the team until the Pirate games.
