Higbe Given AII-ImPortont Job Today

New York, Sept. 26 - (UP) - Brooklyn, plunged into deep despair by yesterdays II to loss to the Phils, was back in a determined, near-cocky mood today, its spirits restored by Cincinnatrs victory over the leading St. Louis Cardinals last night
 The Dodgers still are one game behind and there are only three left to. play for each team, but the Brooklyns from Manager Leo Du- rocher down, felt that the Cardinals were on the downgrade.
 There seemed little doubt that Brooklyn would play better baseball today in a game with the Phils than it did yesterday. It would be almost impossible to be worse. Each club made three errors. The Dodg- CTS contributed balk and 8 passed ball, and the Phils came up with in- reference on a base-runner.
 Sour on Punches
 Durocher, whose inspired lunches on pitchers have been wonder all season, was sour on almost every

pitchers, or 10 more.
 I'm saving nothing or no one for tomorrow-today's the only game we're playing right now" he said grimly.
 St. Louis, idle today, plays Chica- go Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The Dodg- CTS are idle Friday and play Boston Saturday and Sunday. St. Louis can clinch tie by winning two of three, even if the Dodgers win all three.
 Phils Handicapped
 The Dodgers were in good physical shape for today's game, but the Phils were badly bruised. Del Ennis, star rookie outfielder, was hit on the arm by pitched ball yesterday, and catcher Rollie Hemsley, in for in- jured first-stringer Andy Seminick, was hit in the groin by bad throw by Emil Verban, but was able to continue play.
 Philadelphia, loser 16 times in 20 games with Brooklyn this year, took the game yesterday with an amazing five-run rally in the ninth, starting with a walk off Harry Taylor, up to the majors from St. Paul for little more than week.
 Taylor struck out the next man and the Dodgers to 6 lead ap- peared unshakeable. But Charley Gilbert singled. Vic Lombardi came on to pitch and Ron Northey whacked single to right field. Dixie Walker, the peoples cherce" ana the usual hero of rallies, let the ball roll through him. Gilbert scored all the way from first. John Wyros- tex walked and Art Herring came In to pitcher. Jim Tabor singled an- other run home and took second on a throv-in. Frank Mccormick got an intentional walk to fill the bases and Higbe came in. Dee Moore mt a long fly to bring in a run, and chen Emil Verban, the goat of the Dodgers big fourth inning, slngleo the fifth run home.
 Brooklyn fought back in the !ast half of the ninth. Augle Galan singled but Eddie Stanky, forced to nit because the Brooks needed two runs. grounded into a double play. Ed Stevens pinch-single ana Reiser's walk raised Brooklyn hopes hut walker, no longer the peoples 'ehoice, flied weakly to left field.
 Errors K o Branca
 Oscar Judd started for the Phiis and hit an inside-the-park homer irI the third inning to tie the score alter the Dodgers got a run In the first, Ralph Branca, who started he game with 22 scoreless innings rent out in the fourth as the Phils scored four times, helped by an er- TOT the balk and the passed ball:
 Brooklyn scored three in the fourth and three in the fifth, aldeo each time by Phil errors. The Dodg, CTS got one run in the seventh and the Phils one in the eighth.
 Lombardi was the losing pitcher and Tommy Hughes was the winner Philadelphia got Il hits and Brook lyn 15.

Boston World Series Tickets S25 Each

Boston, Sept. 26-(UP)-Specula- tors, who don't even have the tickets yet, were taking World Series orders today-and the asking price was $50 a pair.
 The Boston post office has an- nounced it will not deliver tickets until Friday. But that didn't stop the spectators from seeking cus- toners and promising delivery by next week.
 The Boston Red Sox management said it took strict precautions against letting any of the 60,000 ducats fall into the hands of spec ulatorS.
 The Red Sox front office estimat- ed that more than $2,000,000 would be refunded ticket-seekers because of a lack of seats at Fenway Park.

Flora Frances Warlick, three
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James G. Warlick, Whiteville, has
returned from Johns Hopkins hos
pital, Baltimore, Md, where she
underwent recently developed heart
surgery for a Blue Baby condi-
ton.
The success of the operation,
performed by DR.. Alfred Blaylock
over a month ago, is attested by
the fact that the blue color, symp-
tomato of the circulatory malfor-
nation has yearly disappeared and
the little child, much of whose life
has been spent in a sick bed, can
walk without firing.
Other results of the operation,
developed in 1945 by DR.. Blaylock
and DR.. Helen B. Taussig, are
shown in the little girls ability to
eat sweets, formerly forbidden, and
the disappearance of the typical

Observation-Disclosures are a
few things concerning our recent
visit to the home of the three
Moore sisters which we were too
inarticulate to tell you about yes
terday. So we're going to tell you
about them today.
The Moore home. 1906 Market
street, is the nearest thing to a
museum without a museum sign
on it that we have ever been for
tunate enough to see.
In fact, it's better than a mu-
scum. A museum is usually a dull,
place where a dull, dead guide
shows you around and tells you
about the exhibitions by rote in a
dull, dead voice.
But it's not that way at the
Moore house. The three elderly
ladies'. spry as elves, take you
around the old home and, with a
commentary which newsreel mar
rators would envy, bring their
museum-pieces to life.
