Robinson Gives Bum!
Needed Punch in His
Cleanup Role Debut
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE st.
Louis Cardinals, launching their
last chance" round with the
league leading Brooklyn Dodgers
tonight, will get a look at Jackie
Robinson in a new role-as cleanup
hitter.
When he batted fourth against
the Cubs at Chicago yesterday as
the Dodgers took ST. decision, it
was the first time in his baseball
career that the Negro star ever
filed the traditional slugger spot.
This is sorta going from the
sublime to the ridiculous" grinned
Jackie, "and I don't think it's
gonna last long"
But the fashy candidate for
rookie of -the-year laurels didn't let
the switch awe him. He slammed
pair of singles, drove two long
hyouts and scored run with some
customary razzle-dazle base run
ming.
His two-for- five plate perform
ance yesterday gave him a .296
batting average for the season.
Manager Burt Shotton of the
Dodgers said the change which
dropped Carl Furillo from fourth
to seventh spot in hitting was "just
an experiment"
"By golly, I know one thing" de-
clared Shotton. ''If Jackie hits that
ball, he'll get around those bases.
No more of this three-run stuff for
us like the last week. We're gonna
get six or seven runs"
Robinson, who stole his 18th base
yesterday to widen his decisive lead
in that department, demonstrated
what Shotten meant in the eighth
inning against the Cubs.
After singing to center, he sour
ried down to second on a theft that
left Catcher Bob Schefing of the
Cubs almost sitting on his launches.
Then he glided to third on an infield
out. The next batter, Dixie Walker,
grounded to short. Bob Sturgeon
felded the ball and tented Robinson
back to third-he thought-and
threw out Walker. But Robinson
set sail like a frightened deer for
the plate and before First Base
man Eddie Watkins could throw to
the plate, Jackie was on his way to
the dugout.

Gaffneys Play Sparks Redskins in Upset Victory
Nat Of Year Laurets
Awarded Masterson,
Victor Over Chisox
By Burton Hawkins

1t may be dubious distinction,
but to Walter Masterson goes a
bunch Of posies symbolic of being
the Nat of the year. His polished
pitching, coming as a complete sur
prise to his bosses, the customers
and probably Masterson, has been
the most pleasant development Of
the season.
Rookie Eddie YoSt's development
as third baseman has been nice
to witness and Early Wynns pitch
ing has been laudable, but Yost's
batting has tapered off sharply and
Wynn's fine hurting comes as no
shock since he returned from the
Army last year and resumed effec-
tive chucking.
Masterson, surging back from the
brink of oblivion, has presented the
Mats pitcher whom Manager Bucky
Harris of the New York Yankees
rates as one of the leagues classiest.
Never more than a f1ve-game win
ner in a uninterrupted major
league career dating back to 1899.
Masterson has captured IL victories
this year for a seventh-place club
and has been deprived of several
other triumphs through the feeble
hitting of his mates.
Masterson Hurls Four Hitter.
There is little competition for
Masterson in his role of No. glory
boy. Mickey Vernon, Stan Spence,
Buddy Lewis and Jerry Priddy have
been in the throes of batting slumps
and various other afflictions have
eliminated most of the other Mats.
Masterson notched No. IL last
night at the expense of the Chicago
White Sox, 81, unleashing SPAR
king four-hitter. 1t was Walters
third four hit effort of the year, in
addition to a two-hit game against
st. Louis and a three-hitter against
Boston.
Achieved in tne comparative pri-
vacy of 4,616 fans, the victory was
in the nature of a gift by the White
Sox, who didn't give Orval Grove
the support he deserved. Grove
permitted only five hits, but was
betrayed by shoddy fielding in the
first inning when the Mats pushed
over two runs.
Yost opened the Mats first with
a single to left and Lewis moved
him to third with a single to center.
Sherry Robertson grounded to First
Baseman Rudy York, whose throw
to the plate was in plenty of time
to nip Yost attempting to score.
but Catcher Mike fresh dropped
the ball, also allowing Lewis to
sprint all the way to third. Vernon
then grounded to York, whose

Tribes Ground Game
Rolls Up 1876 Yards
Against Detroit
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Staff Correspondent

DENVER, Sept. 11.-Jim Gaffney
too long overlooked in the Redskins
offensive planning, was sitting in
the front row of Prof. Turk Ed
wards pigskin class today, waiting
to be called again after distinguish
ing himself last night in the Tribes
23-14 rout of the Detroit Lions.
The Skins, fresh from 90
shellacking from the Rams, were
touchdown underdogs entering
the fray, but when the boys knuck-
led down 70 thresh things out II
was obvious that the forecast was
misleading. Detroit counted first
midway in the second period, when
Roy Zimmerman, former Washing
ton quarterback, climaxed a 56-yaro
drive with sneak play from the
1-yard line, but thereafter the Red
skins were in complete control. A
crowd of about 5000 saw the game
Dick Todd, the big wheel of the
Tribes ground game, was in Texas
nursing an injured ankle, but he
didn't have the teams whole run
ming attack with him. Gaffney,
Eddie Saenz, Jack jenkins and Tom
Farmer were the ringleaders of an
offense that rolled up 1876 yards on
ground plays, and two of Mr.. Gaff-
ney's jaunts ended up in pay dirt.
Baugh's Pass Nets Score.
Sammy Baugh threw a pass to
Hugh Taylor, who made a sensa-
tional catch in the end zone, for
the Tribes third touchdown, and
Dick Poillon put his foot into the
scoring with an 18-yard field goal
Poillon's kick sent the first three
points up on the board for his
mates and he added a couple of
extra points for good measure. But
the big noise definitely was Calf
ney's bone-cracking line plunges
and slashes off tackle where he took
full advantage of the holes opened
for him.
The Cumberland kid marked up
7 yards his first trip with the ball
in the second period. He racked UP
a couple of short gains on line
plays in the third before cutting
inside right tackle for a 10-yard
gain that planted the ball on the
3-yard stripe. Jack jenkins moved
it to the l and Gaffney went over
from there for the first 6-pointer
The play eliminated a 24-yard
strike started by Jim Youel's inter-
ception of a pass thrown by Clyde
Laforce.
Gaffney next stuck his nose in
the spotlight on the Skins third

manning contests on the road.
Branca to Face Breechen.
Manager Burt Shotton has tried
to manipulate his thin" pitching
staff with the idea of winning this
all-important set from the Cards.
He has nominated Ralph Branca to
face Harry Breechen in the first
game. Branca, a 21-year-old right
handler, has won 10 and lost II, but
he has lost three of his last five
and has failed to 60 the route in
five of the last seven.

umph with three wins, won his 18th

from the goal. Pat Harder, another
of the Cardinals highly touted
backfleld aces, smashed around end
for the first touchdown. Harder
also kicked five extra points and a
25-yard field goal.
Early in the second period Trippi
went IS yards to score. In his third
and last ball-carrying effort of the
night he got only yards.

Democratic Vote Split Costs Secrest
Proposed Job AS Serqeant-Ai-Arms

Washington, July 16--Former Con-
gresham Robert T. Secrest, of Cald-
well, lost the post of House assistant
sergeant alarms today when split
IN me Ohio Democratic delegation
ruined his chances.
Secrest, who resigned from the
House to serve in the navy, was de-
feated 80 to 72 in caucus of House
Democrats, who selected Joseph H.
Callahan of Kentucky, former chief
of the House folding room.
Secrest was supported for the
$7,200-a-year job by Majority
Leader Sam Rayburn of Texas and
by Representative Robert Crosser of
Cleveland, Crosser nominated Sc
crest for the post in caucus.
The former Ohio congressman
owed his defeat chiefly to speech
by another Ohioan, Representative
Michael j. Kirwan of Youngstown.
Kirwan contended that Secrest
opposed many administration meas
ures during his terms in Congress.
Furthermore" Kirwan told the
caucus, "Secrest has good job in
the library of Congress, while Cal
lahan needs the job because Repub-
lican patronage absorbed his posi-
ton back in January"
In the Ohio delegation, Secresi
was supported by Crosser and
Representative Walter B. Huber OF
Akron. Representative Michael J.
Feighan, of Cleveland, who was pre-
vented from attending the caucus
by departmental business, declined
to say who he would have backed
