Durocher Crew Gets
Test Against Braves;
Brooklyn Meets PhiIs
By Froneis Stann
Star Siaff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 90
Now the big baseball question is
this: How will the Giants bear up
under the severest kind of pres
sure?
Leo Durocher's story-book gang
was tied today with the Dodgers
for the National League lead, with
each team facing two more games.
The American League race, of
course, is all over with the Yam
KEGS, unsurprisingly, the winners.
But for the first time this sea-
son pressure really is on the
Giants. Having all but aban-
doned hope. what with opening
the season by losing IL in a row
and not so long ago trailing the
Dodgers by 1872 games. Duroch-

Reynolds tossed a no-hitter at
the Red Sox to become the only
American League pitcher in his
tory to pitch two no-hitters in
one season. (On July II he beat
Cleveland, to 0, without yield
ing hit)
In the second game, Boston took
a 80 lead in the first two in
nings off Vic Raschi. But the
Yankees bounced back in their
half of the second inning to score
seven big runs and show the Red
Sox who were the bosses. The
Sox believed them.
Thus Casey Stengel, a failure
years ago as a manager in the
National League, becomes only the
third manager in history to win
three pennants in the first three
years with any single club. Frank
Chance did it with the Cubs in
1906, 1907 and 1908 and Hughie
Jennings with the Tigers in 1907,
1908 and 1909.
Big News in Philadelphia.
But for all of the Yankees
heroics, the big news was in
Philadelphia last night. Brooklyn,
half a game ahead of the Giants
because of one less defeat, had a
80 lead after five innings and
up in Boston. idle except for
listening to the radio, the Giants
must have felt the cards were
stacked against them. And then
the Phillies, a bitter disappoint-
ment all season, came from be-
hind to win 1t in the ninth in
ming.
The Phillies turned the trick
too, with a couple of lower-shel1
pitchers, Karl Drews and Andy
Hansen, both of whom were
brought up from Baltimore. 1roni-
|cally-for the Dodgers-Hansen is
Ia former Giant.
For half the game the Dodgers
showed no signs of being a jittery
club. They scored a run off Drews
in the first inning and another
lin the second, although they booted
a chance to blow the game wide
open in this round. They only
got one run off two hits and hit
batsman as Drews got the next
two hitters.
Dodgers Blow Another Chance.
In the third the Dodgers blew
another chance for big inning
when a single, a double and an
other hit batsman failed to score
run. 1t was evident that Drews

and Browns, was something les.

Campanella's f1fth-inning homer

BeotenDo DodgersNunbondGI GIum|
And Durocher's Numb With JOY.
BY the ASsoeiated Press

BOSTON. Sept. 29.-"I'm numb.
My stomach is just bubbling over.
Is it really true? Did the Phillies
really beat those guys?"
That was Leo Durocher'S first
reaction when he was informed
that Philadelphia had scored in
the ninth to snap a tie and defeat
Brooklyn, 43.
Assured that it was so-that
Brooklyn had lost - that the
Giants were now, for the first
time, actually even with the
Dodgers-the Giants manager let
out a deep sigh.
Now, for the first time, it is
all up to u.s." he said. This is
what I've been praying for al!
year. We've just got to win now"
Praises Willie Jones.
Somebody mentioned that Willie
Jones. the, third baseman of the
Phillies, had driven in the WIN
ming run.
Gold old Jonesey," Leo shouted.
What a ball player. What a guy.
He's the best"
Did he think the Dodgers were
done? Would he predict a Giant
|pennant? Who was going to pitch
the opener in the World Series
against the Yankees? Those were
some of the questions popped at
|Durochecr.
Wait a minute, boys" he said.
I'VE still have a difficult job
ahead of US. We've got to keep
winning, remember? We've never
worried about those other guys
before, so why should we start
now?"
"All I know is Sal Maglie will
face Boston Saturday and Larry
Jansen will pitch Sunday. If we
win those two games We should
win the pennant. 1t is my guess
that the Phillies will win another
from the Dodgers. At least I
hope So"
Calls Team His Best.
Earlier, Durocher had called his
1851 Giants "the best team I've
ever managed"
There are no individual stars
on this ball club" he said. 1T is
a 25-man club. One day Monte
Irwin wins a game for us. The
next day Bobby Thomson wins
one. Then it's Whitley Lockman,
then it's Stanky, then Dark. That's
the way it's been since we got
going six weeks ago.

Will You Guys Show
For Today's Wake!
Fan Asks Red Sox
By GayIe ToIbot
Associafsd Press Sports Writor

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Perhaps
the largest crowd ever to witness
a pair of baseball games which
mean nothing whatsoever is ex-
pected at Yankee Stadium today.
Every reserved and box seat in
the vast plant-more than $4,000
of them-was sold many days ago
under the misapprehension that
the two tussles between the New
York Yanks and the Boston Red
Sox would be vital contests, per-
haps decisive in the race to the
American League wire.
After what happened yesterday
the big crowd now can only par
ticipate in one of the most ex-
pensive wakes in diamond his
tory. During the late innings Of
yesterdays memorable slaughter
of the Red Sox a leather-lunged
fan shouted so as to be heard a
long way off: Are you guys (the
Red Sox) going to show up to-
morrow" The question now holds
good for those who bought their
tickets ahead of the rush.
Second Game Clinches Pennant
AS a matter of fact, the two
games today promised to be not
appreciaply more anti-climactic
than the second one yesterday, in
which the BomberS made their
victory certain.
Both the Yankees and specta-
tors spent themselves pretty COM
Ipletely while Allie Reynolds was
pitching his magnificent no-hittel
in the first game. That one as
|sured the champs at least a tie
and they knew when Yogi Berra
gathered in Ted Williams high
foul for the final out that they
were going to play in their third
straight World Series.
Nothing that could have hap
Ipened in the second game would
have mattered much to Stengel's
warriors. Of course, they were
happy when they whacked the
Red Sox again behind Vic Raschi
in the second game and removed
all possible doubt of their status
as league champions. But the
photographers had difficulty get
ting them to exult. They had gone
through all that once before.

olds no-hitter before, too - last

will make another try at 1t but
advice from South Bend is that
Frank Leahy has rebuilt his team
into a pretty good outfit. The
word is that while the Irish will
not threaten any national records,
they'll have a better than-average
team.
The big, bad Bears of Pappy
Waldorf invade Philadelphia for

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 29.-It
was like a morgue in the Dodger
dressing room last night. The
players sat around on stools in
front of their lockers as if they
couldn't believe the impossible had
happened-the National League
race was all tied up.
The faltering Dodgers and the
amazing new miracle men of mod
ern baseball, Leo Durocher's surg

games and lost SO in the heart
pumping drive for the senior cir
cult flag. They each have two
games left to play.
Reporters had TO wait about
20 minutes before an attendant
opened the locker room door to let
them in. You could have heard
Ia pin drop. The players weren't
even talking to each other. The
gloom could have been sliced with
Ia knife.
Even EewSmen Silent.
Manager Charley Dresser stood
in his little Office in Shibe Park S
visiting quarters waiting for an
avalanche of questions. But none
came. 1t seemed even the usually
volatile newsmen were stunned
by the sudden turn Of events.
Dresser called for Coach Cookie
Lavagetto to stand beside him,
as if he was looking for a little
moral support.

we did then aren't working now
