Brooklyn Gets Series
Fever as Dodgers
Win 11tk in Row
By Joe Reiehler
Associated Press Sports Writer


Flatbush faithful today were ex-
hibiting haste to order World Series
tickets, with hardly soul in Brook
lyn holding any doubt over the
Dodgers participation in the Octo-
Der classic.
They had plenty to support their
contention. For last night the
Brooks, behind the superb pitching
of Rookie Harry Taylor, whipped
the st. Louis Cardinals, chief threat
to their pennant hopes, 40.
Yesterdays victory increased the
Dodgers National League lead over
the runner-up Redbirds to eight full
games and stretched their current
victory string to II straight, the
highest streak in the league this
season.
Triple is Clinching Blow.
1t was strictly a one-man show as
Taylor hurled and clubbed the Cards
into submission. On the mound
Taylor held the runless Cards tc
three hits to register his ninth win
against three losses. At the plate he
drove in the first Dodger tally in
the sixth inning with a squeeze
bunt. He batted in two more in the
eighth with tremendous triple anc
carried the final run in himself g
moment later when Second Basemar
AL Schoendienst erred on Eo
Stanky's grounder. The triple came
with two out after Peewee Reese
was purposedly passed to get al
Taylor.
The New York Giants remained
in third place, nine games behlnc
first, when they nipped the Gin
cinnati Reds 81 in a night game at
Cincinnati. Will Marshall's 26th
home run proved to be the deciding
run.
Held to two hits for six innings,
the Chicago Cubs broke loose with
a fve-run attack in the seventh to
defeat Philadelphia 5-4 for their
18th success in IA games with the
Phils.
Gustine Continues Streak.
Ernie Bonham, American
League pitcher, won his ninth game
against three defeats this season as
he pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates
to a 6-5 victory over the fourth
place Boston Braves in a night
game at Pittsburgh. A four-run
third inning against Bill Voiselle
sewed up the victory. Third base
man Frank Gustine of the Pirates
made four hits in five times at bat
to extend his consecutive hitting
streak to 81 games.
The Boston Red Sox dropped 101h
games behind the idle American
League leading New York Yankees
by losing a 81 decision to Bobby
Feller and the Indians in Boston
Feller gained credit for his 18th win
but needed help from relief ace Ed
Klieman in the ninth.
Philadelphia's fourth place Ath-
letics outscored the Chicago White
Sox So in a night game at Phila-
oelphia. Hank Majeski, AS third
baseman was beaned by a pitched
bail by Earl Harrist in the fourth
inning and was carried from the
field on a streteher. The extent of
the injury has not yet been de-
termined.

ington association, and Eddie
Edwards, q reformed minor
Lacquer, who is commissioner
of this area.
The Printers have had some
colorful managers in the past,
such as Heinie Webb, Ed Lowery,
Ray (Hot Dog) Holman and Nor
man Hutchinson, and Mosedale
fits in we'll with the pattern.
George has been invaluable in a
relief pitching role this year
and the chances are he'll take a
turn on the hill during the tour
nament, unless the mound corps
perks up pronto.
Buddy Webb, Heinie's little"
boy, is member of the curvin'
crew, along with Charley Hines
and Les Vogel. Buck Greer,
whose dad was one of the towns
best known sandlot managers,
helps Bob Courbat with the
catching and it's a nifty COM
binatiOn.
Mosedale thinks he has a
smooth infield with Dick De
Vine on first, Mike Denikos, 2b.;
Phil Boundford, S., and Jimmy
Holloran, 3d., although there
we're times during the season
when he didn't think so. The
outfield of Woody Putnam, Frank
Ciango, Bill Valentine and Russ
Minard seems we'll balanced and
Mosedale is hopeful it will come
up to its best during the tourna-
ment.
There have been few changes
since the printers first thought
up the idea of tournament. In
1910 it was thrown open to sons
of printers because the wars
fearful thirst for manpower al
most wrecked the circuit, but by

Construction OF two American

closed that the Inflated liner John
Ericsson had been granted a waiver
OF safety requirements.
Mr.. Bradley, chairman Of q House
Merchant Marine Subcommittee,
which last week approved legisla-
ton extending for another year the
Coast Guards power to grant such
waivers, said he is drafting bill
directing the Maritime Commits
sion to build the new ships.
He estimated it would take two
years to construct them and said
they would be ''the finest ships
afloat," excelling the Queen Mary
and the Queen Elizabeth in speed,
safety and comfort although not in
size.
Until new ships are built, MIR.
Bradley said, the United States will
lag in Atlantic passenger shipping
or must continue to send out ships
that cannot meet safety require

A former sea captain, Mr.. Bradley
said he inspected the John Ericsson

burned at her New York pier Friday.
The fire broke out shortly before the
vessels scheduled departure for Eu-
rope with some 400 passengers.
"She never should have run in the
first place" Mr.. Bradley said. She
was too old and out of date, having
been built in Hamburg in 1928 of
typical foreign ship construction"
The 10000 ton vessel was taken

|Ahlee Ready for Test
As 3-Day Debate on
Economic Crisis Opens
By The Asseeiafsd Press

LONDON, Mar. 1O.-Prime
Minister Attlee confidently faced
the sharpest test of his 10
month-old Labor government
today as the House of Commons
prepared to open a three-day
debate on Britain's economic
crisis.
Consecutive critics, aiming their
principal fire at the coal shortage
that stopped the wheels of great
section Of British industry last
month, planned to climax their de-
bate Wednesday by seeking vote
Of mo confidence" to overthrow the
Labor cabinet.
Mr.. Attlee precipitated the debate
by calling on Commons ito support
the government in all practicable
measures" to overcome Britain'S
economic ills, and Labor leaders
lined up their big majority for a
crucial vote.
Election Majority Recalled.
In the 1945 elections Labor won
393 seats to 189 for the Conservatives
and other opposition members.
Although neither the Conserva-
tives nor the Laborites expect the
government to fall as a result of the
debate, the arguments are consid-
cred highly important because of
the reaction Of public opinion to the
current economic plan produced by
the government.
Ernest Jay, political correspondent
Of the Laborite Daily Herald, said
the debate "is regarded as the most
important parliamentary occasion
since the general election
Muddling Charged.
The Conservatives, headed by
Winston Churchill, regard the de-
bate as their big chance to point up
their charges of government mud
ding" in coal crisis and other eco
nomic affairs. The Laborites on the
other hand say that it will solidify
public backing >for the hard work
they agree must come before Britain
RECEIVERS from her postwar break
down.
Mr.. Attlee called a meeting OF all
Labor M. P.'s before the Commons
session today to outline policies and
answer complaints Of more than 100
Laborites who favor drastic cuts in
the armed forces to offset the ci-
villain manpower shortage. Dissent
ers on the manpower policy, how
ever, were expected to heed the gov
ernment's call for solid backing on
vote of confidence.
