BROOKLYN, Aug. 23.-Two full
games back of the st. Louis Car
dinals and losers OF seven of their
last nine games, the Brooklyn
Dodgers open their critical series
with the league lesders today with
Jackie Robinson's injured heel an
added worry.
The Dodgers, who led the Ma
tional League by a comfortable
margin just a few weeks ago. lost
three out OF four to the Boston
Braves in the series concluded
yesterday.
Everybody is asking why the
young. fast Dodgers suddenly have
cracked.
Robinson's slump is one reason
His league leading batting aver
age dipped from 1854 to 1853 dur
ing the last week. He made only
one hit in the four games with the
Braves. in two Of which the
Dodgers were shut out. -. " ~,
Ever since August . in Phila-
delphia, when he hurt his heel
stealing home. he has, not been up
to par. The injury occurred when
he changed his mind about sliding
in order to avoid q collision with
Catcher Stan Lopata.
Another reason is summed up by
Manager Burt Shotton:
THE players look like they never
saw 4 sidearm curve. They just
can't do anything right. Can't

even think right. They don't take
advantage of anything.
The Cardinals have a decided
edge over their arch rivals this
year, having won 10 games against
six for Brooklyn. Even more sig
nificant, the Cards have won six
games at Ebbets' Field and lost
only two. The Dodgers. like most
ball clubs, usually are best in their
home grounds, but not against the
Cards.
The trouble Of the Dodgers
dates from the end of July. The
Cardinals came here for a four
game series 212 games behind
Brooklyn. a fiery bunch of young
sters that appeared to be dashing
toward the pennant and the
World Series. But the Cards won
three games and tied the fourth
to leave town July Is leading by
a half game.
Ever since then the league lead
has teetered back and forth, but
the last few days it has teetered
up for the Cardinals and down
for the Dodgers.
Robinson's slump undoubtedly
has hit the Dodgers hard. He has
been a leader at bat. on the bases
and afield. How disturbed he is
by the turn of events can be seen
from the fact that at Boston on
Sunday. with two out. he took a
throw from Peewee Reese for a
force and the third out and then
threw to first as if he had q chance
for a double play.
