Again Delays Choice;

Victory to Dixon
By Burton Howkins
By Burton Hawkins

Ed Lopat. the clever lefthander
who has completely frustrated
Washington baseball clubs for
nearly three years. will take the
mound for the Yankees today at
Griffith Stadium and if the
Senators beat him they'll feel
they've captured lightning in q
paper cup.
If Manager Bucky Harris could
order a more invigorating tonic
for his Senators than their dra-
matte 5-3 victory over the
Yankees in 10 innings yesterday
in the opener it would be tri-
umph over Lopat. He has de-
feated Washington II straight
times and in his last 10 games
against the Senators permitted
only nine runs.
Lopat hasn't been whipped by
the Senators since June 26, 1851.
Last year he breezed to six wins,
holding the Senator's to one run
in four of those victories and
blanking them in another.
Again Won't Name Pitcher.
Harris. continuing a cam
paign Of annoyance against the
Yankees, refused to disclose his
starting pitcher again today, but
whitfield his choice to Bob
Porterfeld and Johnny Schmitz.
Bucky's idea In nominating
both a Highlander and left
handler is to foul up the Yankees
batting practice. They get only
half hour of it on the road,
and it's Harris hope that Casey
Stengel. the Yankees platoon
minded manager. won't be able
to give his starting lineup as
much hitting as they'd like.
Like yesterday, when Porter
field and Chuck Stobbs took bat
ting practice. Porterfield and
Schmitz will swing with the
regulars before today's game.
After the Yankees finish their
pre-game practice, Bucky will
announce his starter.
StObb's Pitching Acclaimed.
While Mickey Vernon's BOOM
ing homer on loser Allie Reyn-
olds provided the payoff before
27.160 customers and an excited
President Eisenhower yesterday,
almost as prominent in CONVEX
Sation today was the pitching
of the crew-cut Stobbs. The Is
year-old lefthander held the
Yankees to six hits before being
replaced by winner Sonny Dixon
with two out in the ninth inning
and Chuck repeatedly pitched
himself out of jams.
Vernon's blast, which left the
park after ticking off the beer
sign atop the rightfield fence
and scored Eddie Yost ahead of
Mickey with one out in the 10th,
presented the win to Dixon.
Sonny faced only four batters
and retired them in order.
Sonny's pitching was appreciated
by the throng. but there was a
wave of sympathy for Stobbs.
Chuck was one strike from
victory with two out in the
ninth. Phil Rizzuto on first base,

pinch-hitter. and the Senators

The Day of Atonement. YOM
KIPPUR. begins at shutdown.
Wednesday. October 9Th and con-
cludes at shutdown. Thursday. O.
tober 9TH. The Hebrew date is the
tenth day of Tishri.
YOM KIPPUR is kept as a fast
day. It is the most solemn day in
the Jewish calendar. In olden
times it was set aside for special
sacrifices in the Temple; here the
High Priest appeared before the
people dressed in the prescribed
garments of linen, coat and
breeches, a girdle and a cap of
peculiar design. First he offered
a young bull in the name of his
own family; after that he prayed
for his fellow priests in Israel; he
sprinkled the purifying blood of
the animal about the Holy of Hol-
lies, a room in the Temple which
no man might enter except the
High Priest, and forbidden even
to him except on YOM KIPPUR.
From the two goats brought be-
fore him, one selected by lot was
set apart for the Lord and slain as
a sacrifice; the other, "The scape-
goat" was then brought forward
before him. Now the High Priest
confessed the sins of all IsraeliteS
and prayed that this Special sac
rifice would be the sin offering OF
the entire nation. Then, as a SYM
Dol of the desire of the people to
drive all evil from their midst, the
"Scapegoat" was driven out into
the hills and desolate places out
side of Jerusalem.
But the destruction Of the Tenn
pie also meant the end of all sac
rifices upon the altar of the Lord.
