The Yankees and Dodgers were

A grand slam homer? No, it
was just a little single.
For as Woodling was rounding
first, he passed Hank Bauer. who

blow to a single. However, Phil
Rizzuto scored from third with

Odds Al Against k0
In Murphy-LaMotta
Battle Tomorrow
BY III. Associated Pres.

NEW YORK. June 26.-Irish
Bob Murphy maintains his swash-
buckling air of confidence that he
will knock out Jake LaMotta some
time during their scheduled IL
round fight tomorrow night at
Yankee Stadium.
The odds-makers figure it diff
ferently. however, and the odds
are 4-to-1 against either of the
principals scoring a knockout
Murphy is a slight favorite at z
to-5 to win by decision.
Murphy went through a light
workout at his Greenwood Lake
camp yesterday, but LaMotta did
little more than sit around and
wait for fight time. He had q bit

LaMotta Says He's in Shape.
That will be the heaviest of his
career now that he has abandoned
the middleweight ranks for good.
Some fight followers figure he may
be slow at that weight, but Jake
declares he's in top shape. There's
talk that Murphy is overweight
and must shed a lot of poundage
before he makes the light-heavy-
weight limit Of ITS tomorrow, but

a test between LaMotta's ring
skill with his Furnishing left jabs
and hooks and Murphy's slugging
ability, particularly with his body

figure the southpaw Irishman a
setup for LaMotta's strong left,
while others predict LaMotta will
have to come in and get Murphy,

Dodgers and Giants
Due for Fireworks,
Starting Tonight
BY The Associated Press

With baseball's traditional July
4 milestone little more than a week
away, each major league has a
mighty important series starting
tonight.
In the National League, Leo
Durocher's New York Giants take
on league-leading Brooklyn in a
vital three-game set at the Polo
Grounds which may go long way
toward determining whether the
Dodgers are going to make a run
away out of the pennant race.
They are threatening to do Just
that. and still have a six-game
lead despite that surprising double
loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates sun
day.
The Giants are in second place
and it Is obvious that the RESPONSE
bility for stopping the Dodgers
rests squarely on them.
Tigers Lead White Sox.
The situation in the American
League is quite different, but a
lot depends on what happens at
Chicago's Comiskey Park in the
next couple of days. The White
Sox, welcomed home from their
not too satisfactory Eastern trip
by several hundred fans, will have
to make a good showing against
the Detroit Tigers If they hope
to stay ahead of the champion
New York Yankees.
AS of this morning, the White
Sox lead is less than a full game
and the Yankees have chance to
make some hay against the sixth
place Mats in Washington while
Manager Paul Richards Chica-
goanS face the tougher Tigers In
three games.
National League fans figure that
the Giants will have to take two
out OF three against the Dodgers
to convince themselves-and the
other teams in the league-that
the chase is not hopeless. The
Giants won 8 and lost 4 in the
West, yet failed to gain an inch
on the Dodgers. However. they
old climb from fourth place to
second.
Beanball Threat Seen.
There is a side issue to the
Dodger-Giant battles. That is the
threat of beanball hostilities. The
two teams have not met since
April 80 when some of the Brook
lyn hitters accused Pitcher Sal
Maglie of throwing at them. A
brush between Maglie and Jackie
Robinson almost erupted into Sc
rious trouble.
NOBODY knows what to expect
I don't know yet what I'm
going to do" League President
Ford F'rick said. It might issue
instructions to Managers Du-
rocf1er and Dresser. I haven't
decided yet"
Each side will have it's ton
pitchers ready. Chuck Dresser
has Preacher Roe 600, his un-
beaten southpaw. ready for to-
night. He'll be opposed by Maglie
