.Durocher Trade
.kisfires Again
In Several Ways
Former Giants CIout
As Stonky and Dark
Mess Up Double PIoy
by the Asseeiofsd Press

Sid Gordon and a couple of his
ex-Giant buddies are making life
tough for their old boss, Leo
Durocher. So far, the New York
Giants manager looks like a bum
David Harum.
Leo traded Gordon, Willard
Marshall, Buddy Kerr and Sam
Webb to Boston last December
for AL Dark and Eddie Stanky.
Durocher said he was building
my kind of a ball club" He was
willing to sacrifice home run pow
er for a double-play combination.
On the evidence at hand, 1t
looks as if a good offense still is
the best defense. With Gordon,
Marshall and Kerr roughing the
Giants pitchers, the Braves have
swept to pair of double figure
victories.
Gordon, Polo Grounds hero
for several years. proved especially
embarrassing. Sid made Leo's
face red yesterday with a pair of
homers. one with the bases load
ed. All told, the Gordon Marsh
all-Kerr trio blasted home eight
runs in the Braves 1876 romp.
Defense Lapse Costly.
To make matters worse, the
Giants defense was conspicuous
by its absense. Stanky was the
middle man on a phantom double
play that got nobody out. 1t was
critical, too. If the double play
had been made, Boston would
have been retired scoreless in the
sixth inning. Instead, the Braves
posted nine big runs.
With a man on first. Marshall,
a left-handed batter sliced a
grounder to Hank Thompson. The
Giants third baseman made a
perfect peg to second. Nobody
was there. Dark and Stanky ap-
parently mixed up their signals.
The throw sailed direct to
Stanky who was standing some
10 feet behind the base. Eddie's
hurried peg to first was just too
late to get the batter. Then
Sheldon Jones walked Bob Elliott
and dished up a grand-slam
homer to Gordon.
Billy Southworth, Boston man
ager, must have been cheered by
the route-going job of JohnrN
Sain. a major disappointment of
1949.
While the Braves were polish
ing off their New York rivals for
the second straight day, the Red
Sox were having more trouble
with the Yankees at Boston.
Joe Dobson pitched Boston to
a 6-3 morning victory in the
Patriots Day double header as
Ted Williams hit his first homer.
But the Yanks unloaded another
big inning-seven runs in the
eighth-to cop the afternoon tilt,
1877.
Heinrich and Di Mag Again.
Tommy Heinrich had himself a
time in the second game, driving
in six runs with a three-run
homer, two singles and pair of
walks. Joe Di Maggie knocked
home three with three hits.
Ellis Kinder, winner of %
games last season, was knocked
out in the sixth inning. Ed Lopat
was the winner, with the help of
Joe Page. Vic Raschi lost the
opener. A total of 58,285 saw the
two games.
Gil Hodges boosted Brooklyn
into the win column with homer,
two doubles and a single in a Us
decision over the Phillies.

This hymn is a personal experience
hymn which substitutes example

ual mood, his actual discoveries,
his personal privileges. The text
of this hymn was written by DR..
George Matheson, a clergyman of
the Church of Scotland, who was
totally blind since he had been fif-
teen years of age. His own story
of how he came to write this hymn
is worth quoting: "It was compos-

at the manse at Innellan. 1t was
the day of my sisters marriage and
I was all alone at the time. Some
thing happened to me which was

ment payment.

quirements for retirement or sur
