Two Major Changes from Last Year Being Con-
 sidered by Com.

 The tournament comml5Jee, ap- pointed by the Lions Clu5, are considering the trophies to be awarded this year. The committee has agreed that the awards, for teams and players, will be better than those awarded at the tourn- ament year ago. Two major changes are being considered by the committee.
 First-That the +cu--ament bracket be changed frcz- a Win ner consolation packet to double elimination tournament.
 
 Second-That the tournament be six day tournament instead of four days as previously played.
 Last year requests came from 21 teams to enter the tournament. Of these. 14 were accepted. If a doubl2 elimination bracket is play ed, it will be impossible to accom- modate more than 16 teams. The tournament schedule, dates and teams entering, will be announc- ed later in the basketball season.
 Serving as the Tournament Committee are: Earle Hunter, Mac Kay Malcolm, Harry Sperling, Stan V. Glummett and Del Hanks, f chairman.

 The Brooklyn pitching, object of derision during the last few weeks, is beginning to show signs of round- ing into form for the World Series clash with the New York Yankees.
 Only a week ago. following the failure of Ralph Branca and Vic Lcmbardi, two of the Brooks front line hurlers, in outings against the Boston Braves it was predicted in some quarters that the Yankee pow CT hitters would bat their brains out. Things are beginning to shape up little differently now. Last night, at Philadelphia, it was Lombardi's and Branca's turn to shine. Lombardi, the pint-sized southpaw who has been the bull wark of the Brooks mound corps in recent weeks. hurled three innings of last nights completed game of Aug. IT. He allowed but one man to reach base - Andy Seminick who belted home run. The Dodgers won T-5.
 One-Hit Ball
 1n the second game, which the Dodgers also won 5-2 in 10 innings, 2f-game winner Branca held the Phils to five hits and one run before retiring at the end Of five innings. Harry Taylor, the brilliant rookie righthander. made his first appear ance in a month and pitched one hit ball for two shutout innings.
 The St. Louis Cardinals. beaten in their attempt to retain the Ma tional League championship, clinch- ed second place money by sweeping both ends of a doubleheader from the Pittsburgh Pirates, 15-3 and 3-1. After the twin bill it was announced Pirate Manager Billy Herman had resigned
 Rain Postpones Games
 The Cards now have a four game lead over the Boston Braves who lost 3-l to the Giants. Both teams have three games left to play John Mize banged out his 51st homer of the season.
 Tn the only other game in the ajors, the St. Louis Browns, with Jack Kramer yielding five hits, put dent in Cleveland s bid for second place in the American League, by defeating the Indians 4-3 before cnly 315 paying customers.
 The scheduled games between the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees at New York and the Philadelphia Athletics and the Senators in Wash ington were postponed by rain. De- troit and the Chicago White SoX as well as Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs were not scheduled.

NEW YORK, Sept 26-iH-If the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers have learned the lessen that Pepper Martin taught all National leaguers back in 1881, this may be the running-es World Series of all.
 You remember Pepper, of course, the brash young Oklahoman who was said to have the speed of a sprinter and the aggressiveness of a fullback."
 He merely ran and worried the favored Athletics ragged that year stealing five bases, stretching singles into doubles, hitting 800 and mak- ing grey hairs sprout on the heads Of the As pitchers.
 In Jackie Robinson, the Buns have player who could easily be- come another Pepper Martin. Hes fast and daring on the base path and a good enough hitter to get there often.
 Jackie's 27 stolen bases don't tell half the story; it's his ability to stretch hits and to score on infield grounders that really upsets the opposition.
 The Martini Robinson resemblance extends even to the salaries-Pepper was paid S4,500 for the 1881 season. In addition to Jackie, Brooklyn has another running threat in Pete Reiser, who set a stealing-home rec crd last year, and a few others who can step And even if the Buns memories don't go clear back to 1913, they should remember now the 1942 Cardinals ran the Yankees off the field and last years series-win- ming gallop by Enos Slaughter
