six of 10 previous clashes with

handicapped quarterback in
Maryland's Jack Scarbath to-
night when they meet the De-

Although the 22-year-old Bal

Scarbath remains the key to
the collegians' attack, accord

Baseball headed down the
home stretch today, with a
commuter World Series more
and more a certainty for New
Workers. With 10 such big shows
behind them, this would be the
18th.
Barring miracles the partici-
pants will be the New York
Yankees, for the fifth straight
year, and the Brooklyn Dodgers,
for the second time in a row.
The White Sox and Braves
continue to put up game, but
most probably vain, fights from
their second-place spots. The
schedules and the standings are
against both of them.
Chicago trails the Yankees by
seven games and the two clubs
play each other only five more
times. Milwaukee is 712 behind
Brooklyn with just four games
remaining against the Dodgers.
For both would-be contenders
this means they have to rely
on help from the rest of the
league and no such help is in
sight.
White Sox Beat Indians.
The Yankees whipped Wash
inoton Al last night after
Chicago had turned back third
place Cleveland, 7-3, in a 10
inning daylight battle. Brooklyn
came from five runs behind for
the second straight game to
edge the Giants, 9-8, in 10 in
nings. Milwaukee wasn't sched-
uled.
In other action. Philadelphia
edged Boston, 10. and st. Louis
squeezed by Detroit. 10. in II

Cincinnati walloped Chicago.

Philadelphia, 4-3, in the Ma
tional.
Virgil Trucks pitched and
batted his way to his 10th vic
tory since joining Chicago in
mid-June. After a home run by
Cleveland's Larry Dolby with two
out in the ninth had tied the
score, Trucks singled home the
deciding run in the top of the
10th. Minnie Minoso led the r.
hit Chicago attack with triple
and three singles.
Joe Coleman Wins.
Joe Coleman, a mainstay of
the Athletics mound staff five
years ago, gave up just three
singles to Boston in winning his
first game in Philadelphia in
four seasons. Coleman, who has
had serious arm trouble, also
scored the only run of the game,
riding home on Joe DeMaeStri's
single after he had opened the
sixth inning with a double.
The Browns got the run at
st. Louis when Vic Wertz dou-
bled and Vern Stephens singled
in the 18th. Ned Carver alb
Sorbed the loss after giving up
only three hits in the first nine
innings. Marlin Stuart, who re-
placed Lou Kretlow in the 11th,

Dorow's Play Makes
Lambeau Only Wish
He Could Have Him
By Lewis F. Atchison
StoT Stoff CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.-You
couldn't blame Curly Lambeau
for crying in his beer, if he had
a beer, after watching Al Dorow
in last nights Redskins scrim-
mage.
All the triple threat from
Michigan State did was run As
yards for a touchdown and pitch
a 45-yard pass to lanky Bones
Taylor for two of three scores
made in the final full-dress
scrimmage before next weeks
debut against the Rams. But
the speedy Dorow is an Air Force
lieutenant stationed at Boiling
Field, and is not due for dis
charge until next spring. 1t was
hard for Curly to see all that
talent wasted"
Lambeau didn't like every
thing about the scrimmage. He
thought the offensive line
should have hit harder. But he
couldn't find fault with his men
on effort, and Dorow's one-man
show, of course, had him BEAM
ing.
"They tell me Jack Scarbath
is better" he said later. IF he
is brother, look out"
Line Seems to Hit Hard.
An innocent bystander thought
the Redskins hit hard enough.
They Snarled at one another and
grabbed necks, ankles and even
nose protectors and yanked 'em
like slot machine handles. Luck
lily, there were no injuries worse
than a few bruises.
Gene Brito and Laurie Niemi,
playing end and tackle, respec-
lively, were the defensive stand
outs at the beginning. when
Lambeau said he would field his
best defensive unit in a drill
emphasizing passing. Jim Clark
in the middle, Ted Hazelwood,
tackle, and John Yonakor at
end rounded out the line.
The secondary included Jack
Cloud and Dave SuminSki as
linebackers, Hall Haynes and
Harry Dowda on the wings. and
Dick Alban and Johnny Williams
playing safety.
Too Good for Offense.
This may not be the Redskins
best defensive team, but it was
entirely too good for the Of
fense. With Eddie LeBaron
quarterbacking, Ace Baker and
Hoss Barry at the halves, and
Chuck Drazenovich at fullback
the offense started on it's own
40-yard line and was pushed
back to the 20. It never did
click as we'll as the other night,
when the offense was the whole
show.
The line Curly complained
about had Joe TereShinski and

BOSTON, Aug. 14.-ReStricted
to six runs in their last four
games, the Mats are looking to
the friendly leftf1eld fence Of
Fenway Park to help snap their
batting slump tonight when they
open q four-game series with the
Red Sox.
The Mats chance Of climbing
back into the first division has
been reduced to a forlorn hope,
but they're dreaming of q series
sweep which would at least place
them within radar range Of Bos-
ton. The fourth-place Red Sox
are eight games ahead Of the
Mats.
Chuck Stobbs, who has ap-
peared in only two innings

eighth win. He'll be opposed by

Ted currently is hampered by
a sore arm.
Porterf1eld, with string of

to become the seventh pitcher in

four consecutive shutouts when
he takes the mound tomorrow.

doubtful starter tonight. Jim
is nursing wrenched neck and
bruised side as the result of
banging into the centerfield wall
