'next spring. SPORTS FRONT. By PIUS CALLAGHAN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE pennant race continues to sizzle and every play from here to those final tussles 6n Sunday Sep- tember 27 is of the utmost importance. Milwaukee Braves are making a terrific bid to retain the crown they have held these past two years and you won't find , too folks who will put up any heavy money to say they won't turn the trick. The Giants and Dodgers are doing some figuring on their own and the Braves will not be 1959 champions of the senior circuit if they can prevent it. > THE DODGERS can’t hurt the Braves any more this season. They finished their season series withthe Milwaukee club last nicht, so it is up to the San Francisco boys to put a crimp in the plans of Fred Haney and his henchmen. ~ Giants open a two-game stand against these ambitious Braves this afternoon and they close out the abbreviated affair ‘Thursday afternoon. A sweep for either club would mean a tremendous lot and would surely crush the hopes of the loser. While this is going on, the Dodgers will be entertaining the Cincinnati Redlegs in two night games and you cah bet your-tast dollar that the Los Angeles crew will get a look at their former teammate, Big Don Newcombe. WHEN ALL THIS is history, the Giants and the Dodgers get together in San Francisco for three most important tussles. Fri- day night, Saturday and Sunday afternoons the two west coast outfits will battle each other at Seals Stadium in San Francisco. * As we look at our schedule, we see the Braves idle on Friday but THAT BRINGS us up to the final week of the campaign and the last desperate drive of the three contending clubs. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the Braves have a rugged time on their hands wiien they visit the Pirates in.the unfriendly i Forbes Field. After that Milwaukee closes out at County Stadium with a three-game set with Philadelphia. the Giants and Dodgers finish their feud, the Giants to Chicago’s Wiigiey Field for two games and then oo at Busch Stadium, St. Louis where the next Tuesday and Wednesday nights wind matters up for the year at Chi- single games on Friday, Saturday and Sun- the picture of what each team has con- the wire. The Phillies, Pirates, Cubs, pennant-conscious but they to play in deciding who re- world series which opens in winner on Wednesday, Sep- the three top teams. The other San Francisco, Milwaukee and other five clubs are most their greatest baseball of the 1959 season that somebody is going to get hurt. “ ALL THESE three teams fighting for the flag have been in pennant races before this year. Tt was back im:1951 that the Giants ‘then playing out of New York) staged a whirlwind finish to end in a tie with the Brooklyn Dodgers for the league leadership, In the playoff the Giants top honors two games to one on the strength of Bobby Thomson's dramatic home run. In 1942 the Dodgers appeared to have the pennant all wrapped up by mid-August «but the St. Louis Cardinals started to move and ended in a flat-footed tie with the Brooks for the flag. The Red Birds won the playoff in two straight games. Back in 1956, the Braves held a four-game lead over the Dodgers with only three weeks of the campaign remaining. The Alstonites stuck in there, however, and copped the flag by a single game on the final day of the season. IT’S A RACE such as the one we are having this year in the National League that makes this game of baseball one of the _ greatest sports we have. The honesty of baseball has been proved time and time again by these second raters getting hot and side- lining a team that appears headed for baseball's greatest spec- tacle. ‘ We think the greatest example we can recall fs that game on the second last night of the 1956 schedule when St. Louis Car- _dinals edged Warren Spahn and Milwaukee Braves 2-1 in 11 inn- ings. That game meant absolutely nothing to the Gas House gang but it did rob the Braves of a chance of finishing in a tie with the Dodgers. : ; : Little Bobby Del Greco ran wild in the Cardinals’ outfield that night. making at least three spectacular catches that were aparently headed for extra bases. AROUT THE ONLY THING that is certain (unless the White Sox fall dead) is that Chicago will represent the junior circuit in the big classic. Nobody is unhappy about this because {t's a long forty years The pressure is strictly on none of that i since the American League Chicago-club got into this great com- — petition. Regardless of the wins in the National, you. will likely find the White Sox the underdogs in the betting. These Pale Hose are front runners but many are still scratching their heads trying to figure out how they got there. Their hitting surely didn’t do _the trick but their pitching and fielding made up for the lack of er. Al Lopez. and his boys won't worry one little bit if they are real underdogs for the series. Lopez will be trying the same formula on the National~Leaguers that he worked with such suc- cess on Cleveland and the rest of thé American League all through the season. It wasn’t too bad a formula, then and there’s no good reason to believe that itt will not-meet with a fair measure of success in 1999 ib i | Cardinals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday Remember? In shotgunning get out of it only you into it’. So grab along Saturday. Everyone is welcome. ~* aE fi Blair Richardson _ Stops Gaston Roy knomkdown in the slam-bang battle. The challenger complain- ed the blow was low. Roy, a. medical student with the Canadian Army here, had the better of the match during the early rounds. But he started to tire under Richardson's blis- tered punches. The knockout was the 10th in a row for Richardson, who now boasts a 17-1-0 record. Ranked number one among Canadian mid- die-weights, he was defending this title for the first time. Yvon Durelle Halts Anderson CHATHAM, N.B...(CP)—Yvon Durelle cut down Al Anderson of Jamaica, Long Island, for a TKO scheduled: 10-round heavyweight non-title bout here Tuesday night. The Baie Ste.

Dunlops Get New Coach WHITBY ‘CP)—Team Manager Wren Blair Tuesday named Ted O’Connor playing coach for the Allen Cup championship Whitby Dunlops of the Ontario Hockey Asséciation Senior A Series. He will replace Sid Smith who announced his retirement ear- lier this week. An outstanding defenceman with the Dunlops for the last) three seasons, O’Connor has had! professional experience with the American Hockey League Hershey Bears and with Tacoma in the Western.

Last year he was drafted by o¥ Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League, but de- clined the offer. ‘4 The Dunlops open training here Saturday, Sept. 26 with about 2 Probable Pitchers NEW YORK (AP) — Probable pitchers for today’s major league games (‘won-lost records in par- entheses) : National League Pittsburgh at Chicago ‘2)—Law (16-9) and Friend (817) vs An- derson (12-10) and Johnson (0-0).

Among those that will start are: Dudley's Lady, whose sire, Dudley Hanover, won the 1950 racing of the Jug, driven by Del Miller, in 2.02 35, and she may possibly upset a 13-year-old re cord by becoming the first filly to win it.
