CARDS Making
Life Tougher
For Braves
By the Annotated Pres

The Cardinals, without a
manager and with only a slim
hope for fourth-place finish.
are back at the old stand
making life a bit tougher than
it should be for the Braves.
1t was in 1856 that the Cardi-
mails, settled in fourth. knocked
the Braves out of the National
League pennant. Last season,
when the Braves thought they
had it all locked up. they had
to put on another drive to knock
off the second-place Cardinals,
who had closed within two
games.
Last night, hours after Fred
Hutchinson was fired officially
as field boss. the Cards took the
Braves, 5-3, knocking of 20
game winner Warren SPAIN, a
long time nemesis. to boot. That
delayed the Braves run to a
second consecutive flag. Their
magic number still is three over
Second-place Pittsburgh.
Cubs Tie for Sixth
The Cubs tied Los Angeles
for sixth by beating Philadel-
! phia, 60, in the only other
National League game sched-
uled, 1t was held to seven in
nings by rain.
Gene Green drove in two
runs, with his 18th homer and
a triple, for the Cards, who
came off. with a 3-3 record
against SPAIN for the season
SPAIN, now 20-11, has a 50-2S
lifetime record against them
and has been held even by the
Cards only twice in the last
six seasons.
Larry Jackson Q3-12 was
the winner with Jim BroSnan' S
relief in the ninth.
jays Finger Injured
Joey Jay, who relieved SPAIN
after six innings, was injured
when he slapped down an Irv
Noren drive. The young right
handler suffered a Clipped bone
on the ring finger of his left
hand, but should be all right
in a few days.
| Rookie Bob Anderson GID
beat the Phils with flve-hit-

BLOODY BATTLE REPORTED
StengeI BeIittIes
Houk-DurenFight

II never left my seat" Houk
said yesterday when asked
about the incident. II reached
up with my hand and brushed
him away. My ring caught him
around the eye, / guess, but
there were no punches and
there was no fight"
The two are we'll matched
physically although Duren is
10 years younger at 20. Hoax,
who became a major as an
Army Ranger in World War
II, is 5-foot-ll and weighs 1870
pounds. Duren is 6-foot-2 and
1876 pounds.
Other writer's said some Of
the players tried to get Duren
to go to bed, but that he did not
go without a struggle. Finally
it was Don Larsen, a 6-foot-4,
225-pound pitcher Of perfect
game fame, who got Duren into
bed. Before he finally was
quoted, the struggling Duren
accidentally hit Larsen in the
mouth with his knee. Larsen
had a slight cut inside his
mouth.
And Larsen. who more than
once has been in the 'front.'
Office doghouSe for drinking
and violating curfew. was not
drinking Sunday night.
Irked by Detectives
The Post said "the fight was
not the first between Duren and
Houk. At Denver, Houk was
Duren's manager last year. At
least once he had to tame Duren
with his fists"
/ Houk denied this. We've
never had any trouble" he said.
/ One of the New York writers
said that he, Duren ana Houk
had breakfast together Monday
morning. They were laughing
and talking about their kids"
the writer said. Everything
was fine and dandy"
Duren pitched five scoreless
innings against Detroit Tues
day, and bore no noticeable
signs of battle.
! Yankee players say, however,
that they are little upset and
amused by detectives they say
have been trailing them in
Kansas City, Chicago and De-
troit.

Bobby Richardson, Bobby
Shantz and Tony Kubek-who

DETROIT, Sept. 10 (AP).-
Casey Stengel says his Yankees
are just normal, healthy, red
blooded, playful American boys.
They do not fight among
themselves, he says, and there
have been no fights between
players and coaches. The whole
squad, Stengel says. is saving
its strength for the Braves and
the World Series.
The New York Post said yes
terday that Coach Ralph Houk
and Relief Ace Ryne Duren
engaged in a bloody battle"
during the Yankees victory
party Sunday night.
"A lot of bunk" Stengel
growled. "Just a lot of news
paper bunk"
Houk denied it, too, and
Duren was in Wisconsin at
tending his grandfather's fu-
neral. Other Yankee players
said it was just horseplay and
some writers covering the club
said there was no exchange of
punches.
Put to Bed by Larsen
The Post said the fight took
place on a train carrying the
club to Detroit from Kan
! Sas City, where the Yankees
clinched another pennant Sun
day. BY agreement the sports
writers travelling with the team
kept it secret" the Post said
To-day it leaked out"
Everyone seems to agree on
one point-that Duren appar-
emily had been drinking and
that there was at least a slight
disorder involving the pitcher
and the coach. Houk was in
his seat, chewing on an I'M
lighted cigar. Duren pushed it
into Houk's face.

Regardless of how they fare
against the Bears, the Redskins

Tigers Make
Usual Pitch
ForHigh Spot
BY the Associated Press

The Tigers are third in the
American League standings,
but they're following the same
old script. waiting until the
pennant is gone before making
a season-end sprint for a share
of the World Series loot.
It's an old habit with the
Tigers. And 1t has cost two
managers-Bucky Harris and
Jack Tighe-their jobs.
In 1856 the Tigers really
roared through the last weeks
and finished fifth. They were
the only club to beat the
champion Yankees over the
season. With that pennant
promise for 1857, Harris got
the gate and Tighe got his
chance.
The Tigers finished fourth in
ST, but they had to win on the
final day to do it and actually
won four fewer games than the
season before. When their 1855
start indicated something worse
Tighe was ousted and Bill Nor
man took over an eighth-place
club June 10.
Build Two Game Lead
The Tigers clicked under
Norman, for a while, but they
were long dead in the pennant
race. Then, with dollar signs
chalked on the clubhouse floor
symbols of the larger slice OF
World Series money third place
offers-they moved into third
last week end.
They built a two-game hold
on third yesterday with a six
game streak, beating the YAM
KEGS, So. Again the Tigers
are the only club to beat the
champions for the season, with
a 1910 bulge, just as in 1856
Boston stayed tied for fourth
with idle Cleveland by splitting
a double header at Kansas
City. The Athletics won the
opener, 6-3, then lost, Az. Rain
postponed the only other Amer
lean League game scheduled
Baltimore at Chicago.
The Tigers, who with the
1855 Cleveland team are the
only clubs to beat Casey STEM
gel since he started managing
the Yankees in l949, got the
clincher the hard way. They
beat 21-game winner Bob Tur-
ley with the help of light
swinging Reno Bertoia, whose
fifth and sixth homers counted
their first three runs.

(AP) Fog and rain threat
ened today to spoil Columbia'S
final tuneups for defense of the
Americas Cup against Great
Britain's dry-docked Sceptre.
A drizzling rain interfered
yesterday with a planned full
scale dress rehearsal for the
United States sloop against
Weatherly, a previously beaten
adversary. More of the bad
weather was expected today.
There was no report from the
Weather Bureau on probable
weather Saturday when Column

President Eisenhower, vaca-

would watch at least the open

have not been disclosed,
Sceptre, the trim sloop which

yesterday for a final rundown

other purpose whatsoever and
we desire to withdraw our
