Will it be the Miracle of the Mound City in 1952 just as it was the Mir acle of Coogan’s Bluff in 19517 Stanky is keeping discreetly cuiet as his sizzling St. Louis Cardinals continue to apply pres cure on the Dodgers and Giants in +he National League race. But there is no doubt the scrappy lit tie Redbird skipper is thinking if it happened once it can happen @again, Who can ever forget the ’sl pennant race in which the Giants, «parked by Stanky, rose from a 131 game deficit on Aug. 11 to nose out the Dodgers for the pen nant in a playoff? With that in mind, it would be hazardous to discount the third place Cardi nals because they trail the pace setting Dodgers by 8% games with 87 more to go. Despite the terrific odds and the two clubs ahead of them, the Red birds battle on, hoping for that gecond miracle. They had to strug gle through 13 innings last night | Yefore they finally downed thei Praves in Boston, 6-5 to pick up a full game on the Dodgers and Ciants. Murry Dickson gained the honor of becoming the first Pittsburgh pitcher to defeat Brooklyn this season ending a 13-game Dodger winning streak over the Pirates with an eight-hit 7-1 triumph. Rookie Warren Hacker, with the help of veteran Dutch Leonard, gained his ninth triumph as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Giants, 4-2. Philadelphia’s Phillies con tinued their blistering pace, sweeping a twi-night “‘win bill {rom Cincinnati, 6-1 and 4-3. Mickey Mantle’s grand slam Yome run with two out in the ninth mmg gave the New York Yankees a thrilling uphill 10-8 tri umph over the Chicago White Sox snd enabled them to retain their three-game first place margin cver Cleveland. The Indians whipped Boston, 4-1 to drop the Red ‘S)zx 41, games off the pace.

American fencers marked up a decisive vic tory in a semi-final competition in the team sabre event. Argentina’s basketball team, re garded as the most serious threat to the U. S., suffered its first de feat of the tournament, Yoshinoba Oyakawa of Honolu lu and Ohio State University turned in the best time in the men’s backstroke swim, one min ute and six seconds. Jack Taylor of Akron, Ohio, another Ohio State swimnrer, also won his heat, but Allen Stack of Hingham, Mass., and Yale, finished second. America’s hopes in the women’s springboard diving competition received a setback when an inter national jury over-ruled the judges who granted Mrs. Joe Ann Olsen Jensen a second chance to perform one dive after she had complained the mechanism con trolling the board had not func tioned properly. Sweden, Japan and France all had protested and the governing jury ruled that Mrs. Jensen’s Crax Retain Lead; Drop o Travs Twice By The Associated Press Richard Dale Long, first base man for the New Orleans Pelicans, has earned another audience with Branch Rickey. It will be largely up to Rickey to look over Long next spring and decide if the long man from North Adams, Mass., gets another chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Dur ing a short visit in the coal coun try last summer he wasn’t im pressive, Last night, Long was presented a trophy for being the first Pel in history to hit 25 homers. And during the second game of the cdoubleheader which New Orleans swept from Nashville, 2-1 and 12- 7, Long hit probably the longest komer in the history of Pelican stadium. The ball crossed a 50-foot high sign at the 410-mark. With both New Orleans and first place Atlanta taking double headers the Southern Association’s over-heated pennant race became hotter still. Atlanta defeated Little Rock, 5- 3 and 13-7. A half game separates the leaders. e Memphis stopped Birmingham, 6-2, and with the victory caught a fast ride from seventh to fifth place—high mark of the season for the former cellar dwellers. Nashville and Birmingham slipped down in the process. After three defeats in a row Mobile came up with an 8-4 vic {ory over Chattanooga.
