Final Chance

CLEVELAND, Sept. IS. - Bob
WieSler, who has been given a
full season to develop, gets a
last-gasp opportunity to prove
he's learned something tonight
when the Senators tangle with
the Indians in a double header.
The Senators have experienced
many disappointments this year,
but the failure of the left
handed Wiesler to display the
least bit Of improvement is one
of their most severe setbacks.
Despite his previous undistin-
guished record, the Senators felt
they had landed something spe-
cial when they acquired Bob
from the Yankees last winter. A
diet Of steady pitching was CAL
culated to bring him along, but
it hasn't worked that way
Wiesler has been trusted with 20
starts and has been around al
the finish only twice. His 3-1l
record has reflected his ability
He has averaged nearly a walk
an inning, and if his $50 earned
run average isn't the worst in
the league, it will be close.
Time Running Out
There was momentary surge
of hope back in June when BOZ
spanked Detroit 3-l, on five
hitter. 1t developed it was
lightning striking, for he has
been granted nine starting as
signments since and has beer
belted out on each occasion.
Now time is running out. The
Senators have only a few games
remaining and Wiesler must
show a quick form reversal il
he's to prevent them from toss
ing in the towel.
1t could happen. Joe Page
who was one pitch from obliv-
ion-or at least demotion to the
minors-a few years ago in Q
game at Boston, pitched himself
out of that jam against the Red
Sox and carried on to become
a crack reliefer for the Yankees
It has reached that deSpera-
ton point with Wiesler. He
needs a sparkling effort to revive
even faint hope that he can
make the grade.
StObbs After 10th
There's a contrast operating ir
tonight's games. In the othel
contest, Chuck Stobbs will b.

with his Ala mark. but he ha'
Irebounded to be regarded as ont
lof the leagues more formidable
pitchers. The Senators. who have
lost eight of their last mint
games, have skidded four games
back of the sixth-place Orioles
and their hope of moving up tt
the modest position in the stand
lings rapidly is receding.
They're involved. negatively. il
THE scramble for second place
between Chicago, Boston anC

Last nights vital games in the
National League pennant race
left Manager Walt Aston of the
high-f1ying Dodgers cautious, the
Milwaukee Braves desperately
determined and the Redlegs
Idownhearted but proud of their
game struggles to come back.
After the Dodgers dropped the
Reds four games back with a
5-4. 10-inning victory on Carl
Furillo's homer and the Braves
split with the Giants. dropping
a To decision and then winning,
Al. Aston led of the comment:
I'm worried about the Card
inals (who send Vinegar Bend
Mizell against Roger Craig at
Ebbets Field tonight. We've
had two tough series. and there's
usually a letdown after a tough
series. We can't afford to ease
up one bit. 1t still is going to
be a tough race"
Reds Need Helm
1--WE gave Brooklyn a real bat
tle," said Manager Birdie Teb-
belts Of the Reds, who needs a
near-miracle now. I'VE still have
a chance to win, but we've got
ito have help. Somebody else has
to win it for us. I have no right
to ask somebody else to win it
for us, for we had a chance
two, in fact-and we missed
both"
Cincinnati suffered a serious
blow in the first inning last
might when Ted Kluszewski
pulled a muscle in his left leg
and had to leave the game. Klu'S
loss was felt particularly in the
10th inning when with two run
ners on base and nobody out,
George Grove, his replacement at
first base, was ordered to sacri-
flee and forced a runner at Third.
That broke the back of a po-
Itential rally.
Would Birdie have hunted If
the batter had been Kluszewski?
NO." he said. II don't hunt
with Klu. ] never bunt with
Klu."
The Redleg players were proud
of the combacks they staged
both Sunday, when they scored
twice IN the ninth to come within

said. We've been playing like
that all year. 1t takes a pretty
good club to do that. It's awfully
hard to battle two teams. But
we're not out of it yet, I'll guar

The Braves know the odds are
against them.
We've got to win nine. If
they can lose a couple Well
catch them" said Warren SPAIN,
ace of the Milwaukee staff. ANY
club that loses this race has
nothing to be ashamed of.
Brooklyn has the benefit of the
schedule and they're a bunch of
old pros, too. They smell that
money and they're going to be
tough. But if they can lose

Bragan to Use Best
Were going toward the Mid
west and toward home" Short
stop Johnny Logan said. We're
due to play some good baseball
after leaving the big city. After
Brooklyn. Philadelphia and New
York, now maybe We'll relax a
little"
If the Braves think they're go
ing to have a soft touch with the
Pirates, they're mistaken, Man
ager Bobby Bragan growled.
Were worrying about sixth
place, not who wins the pen
|nant," he said. We're hopeful
of finishing sixth and I'm throw
ing my best at both the Braves
and Brooklyn"
He named Ronnie Kline and
Bob Friend to pitch against Mil
waukee and Vernon Law, Kline
and Friend in that order against
Brooklyn.
Il think Wen give someone
some trouble" he said. Like the
boys on the team, I want to win
them ALL"
We've still got to win our ball
games" said Braves Manager
Fred Haney, whose lineup shift
produced five of the nine hits
that Milwaukee collected in the
winning second game. Jack
Dittmer. moved into second base
to replace Danny O'Connell, had
three of the hits-a -tieing
single, his first homer of the
year, and another wasted single.
Haney said he would continue
to play Frank Toree at first in
place Of the slumping Joe
Adcock.

the indictment charges. Mr..
Powell well knew were false
and untrue"
Il think they're pushing this
a little far" Mr.. Powell told the
Associated Press when informed
of the indictment. Certainly
neither Sylvia nor I have done
ANYTHING seditious. That's COM
pletely untrue.
What we have done is to
have expressed very openly and
vigorously our opinions on what
has happened in China and on
our Governments foreign policy
in China. We've learned in the
last three years we've been home
that you say these things at
some risk.
Our policy doesn't recognize
the revolution in China as an
accomplished fact. If we con-
tinue to play footsie with
Chang Kai-shek we'll lose all of
Asia.
Germ Warfare Charges
OF the charge that his Re-
view accused America of Wag-
ing germ warfare in North Ko-
rea. Mr.. Powell said:
we printed what we saw and
heard in Shanghai. We certainly
attributed it to the sources which
were the Chinese Communist
government and individual Chi
nese who had visited the Korean
front Some of these Chinese
were individuals we had known
long time and many of whom
were in some degree out of SYM
pathy with the Communists.
Mr., Powell said that in Pei
ping, the Red Chinese capital. in
1852 he saw a big exhibit the
Chinese had prepared to prove
that America was waging germ
warfare.
Il wasn't convinced" Mr..
Powell said, but l must say
wasn't satisfied with the fiat
