By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 <U.R>—
Brooklyn's Dynamo Dodgers hit
the Sept. stretch Tuesday with
an outsail- chance to wind up with
the best winning record of any Na-
tional League team in 4*1 years.
If they play at about the pace
they have set since the All-Star
game, the Brooks can finish up
with lit' victories and only 44 de-
feats. .-inpassing all other Nat-
ional Lrajfue winners since the
ISO!* I'iratihad that mark.
The liimiks have turned in 40
victories as against just nine de-
feats since the mid-season All-Star
brt'ifk. They won 25 out of ."{1 dur-
ing August and they need 20 vic-
tories in their last 24 to tie th<
1909 Pittsburgh final standings.

Snider hit two homers and Gil
Hodges got urn*, was the 10th con-
secutive straight at Ebbeta Field
over St. Louis this year.
Manager Charlie Dlessen receiv-

10 games behind.
Cincinnati twice utilized big six-
th inning rallies to defeat the
Phils 12 to 6 and 7 to' 5 while the
Giants put over seven runs in the
fourth and coasted to a 13 to 4
win over the Cubs.
Newsom Wins No. 200
In the American League 01' Bobo
Newsorn won his 200th game, 10 to
1 over Detroit after tho Tigers
topped the Athletics 9 to 7. Bos-
ton defeated Cleveland C to 4 as
Ted Williams hit his seventh hom-
er since returning from Korea and
Washington edged St. Louis 4 to 3.
There were no other games sched-
uled.
Cincy made nine runs in the big
rally in the opener in which Andy
Seminick hit a three-run double.
Gran Hamner hit a grand slam
homer for the Phils. A three-run
sixth inning in the second game
gave the Ohioans enough margin
to win again. Hamner hit his 18th
homer in the nightcap.
Jim Rhodes' three-run homer
was the key blrtw in the big Giant
rally. A1 Dark collected four hits
and Daryl Spencer hit an inside-
the-park homer.
BoSox, Washington Hit Homers
Newsom, pitching mainly from
memory, won his historic game by
scattering 11 his and keeping the
A's bull-pen busy waiting to re-
lieve the fat and forty old boy. But
he struck it out to pitch his first
complete game of the year as'the
A's cushioned-him with nine runs
in the first four innings.
Walt Dropo's three-run homer
featured a six-run comeback inn-
ing by Detroit in the opener after
the Tigers* spotted Philadelphia 6
q 0 lead. The only earned run off
Newsom was a homer by another
oldster, Tiger manager and pitch-
er Fred Hutchinson.
Williams' homer was a three run
blast that gave Mickey McDermott
his loth victory. Jim Busby's sin-
gle drove in the winning run for
Washington after both teams had
a home run spree, Bob Turley,
Roy Sievers, and Don Lenhardt
connecting for St. Louis and Mick-
ey Vernon and Gil Coan for Wash-
ington.
Monday's Star: Bobo Newsom,
the old man of the Athletics, who
won his 200th game, 10 to 4 over
lAiioii with his first complete
game of the year.

Four Teams Of
North To Battle
(By UNITED PRESS)
The four northern division Tex-
as League teams appeared likely
to play off for the pennant Tues-
day for the first time since the
league was organized in a North-
South set-up.
Shreveport's sudden collapse
and its expulsion from the first
division Satuyday left the South
teams without a representative a-
mong the top four. If the season
ends as the top four now stand—
Dallas. Tulsa. Fort Worth and
Oklahoma City—it will mark the
first time one division has comple-
tely monopolized the playoffs.
Monday night's results made it
appear more likely that it will

happen.
Oklahoma City moved two gam-
es ahead of fourth-place Shreve-
port by beating Tulsa in a double-
header, 7 to 3 and 7 to 0, snapping
th ■ Oilers' nine-game winning
streak in a big way. Shreveport
finally stopped its-'slide—11 strai-
ght defeats—with a 7 to 1 win
over San Antonio.
League-leading Dallas, after
three straight losses at the hands
of San Antonio, abounded with
a 3 to 1 win over Fort Worth, and
Beaumont slammed Houston 11 to
6.
Everest Gets Job
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept.
j <u.R—Andy Everest, who resign-
ed as head football coach at San
Angela high school, has been
ranted freshman football coach at
the University of Utah.
Everest, of El Paso, played cen-
ter for three years under Utah
Head Coach Jack Curtice at Texar
Western. He replaces Pres Sum-
merhays, who has been elevated
to the Utah backfield coaching job.
Vinmii In Hami
dqtiau ill many
Years Appears
WEST POINT, N. Y„ Sept. 1
U.fi)—Head Coach Earl (Red) Blaik
surveyed one of the smallest West
Point football squads in history
Tuesday and cautiously observed it
'may be on a par" with last year's
team, which had a 4-4-1 won-lost-
tied record.
Only 45 men turned out for the
opening practice session of the fall
Monday, and that ranks as one of
smallest gridiron groups ever as-
sembled at the Military Academy.
Moreover, several of the key
players from last year's team are
absent for one of three reasons—
resignation from the Academy,
failure in examinations, or injury.
Their loss, plus the changeover
:rom two-platoon football to one
platoon, makes Blaik's job all the
tougher.
Resigning after the spring work-
outs were Dick Reich, regular full-
back, and Ronald Lincoln, regular
tackle. Two more top-flight backs
-Mario DeLucia and Freddie Me y-
ers—were lost when they failed
academically.
Tactical field training this sum-
mer resulted in injuries to two
more ace players—Freddie Attaya,
the best running back on the squad.
Who sprained a knee, and Neil
Chamberlain, regular defensive end
for the last two seasons, whose
nlaying career was ended when he
Newsom Wins 106
Games In 25 Years
DETROIT, Sept. 1 <U.Ri_Bobo
Newsom, who claims he's 44 al-
though the record books list his
age as 46, said Tuesday lots of
pitchers could win 200 games if
they just kept pitching long
enough.
And the huge hurler for the Phil-
adelphia Athletics should know.
He started his professional base-
ball career 25 years ago and earn-
ed his 200th American League vic-
tory Monday night, as he turned
back the Detroit Tigers 10 to 4.
Actually, Newsom's major league
record includes 211. victories, but
suffered serious internal injuries in
a jeep accident.
Utaik, usually a blunt pessimist
when discussing the chances of his
squad, surprisingly was not too
glum about the situation.
"The losses not withstanding,
this is a normal squad physically
and may be on a par with last
year's group," said Blaik.
However, like most other coaches
:n the nation, Blaik was concerned
about the shift from two platoons
to one.
"Only three boys on the squad
have ever played defensive ball,"
said Blaik. "Wo shall have to con-
centrate on this phase of the
game."
11 ot those came to him during his
numerous visits to the National
League.
As baseball's vagabond, Newsom
has seen action with nine different
major league teams, six in the jun-
ior circuit and three in the Nation-
al League. Cleveland, and Chicago
are the only American League cit-
ies which have never claimed New-
som as their own.
"That 200th victory was one of
my easiest," Newsom said. "Those
kids got me a lot of runs in a hurry
and I didn't have to work toe
hard."
Bobbing, Weaving
Wins For Cartier
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 tU.R:_Mid-
dleweight Waiter Cartier ex plain-
id Tuesday a month's practice in
bobbing and weaving enabled him
to win an impressive come-back
victory over Garth Panter of Salt
Lake City.
Panter beat the explosive New
Yorker with ease July 27; but Mon-
day night in the same riiu; at
&
Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway Ara- f.
na, Cartier smashed out a lop-sw#
ad unanimous 100-round decision. A

"Of course, I was in better con- |
dition, too," continued brown-hair- p|
ed Cartier. "But the main thing
was my bobbing and weaving. I
practiced it for about a month u'
at Greenwood Lake. So I wasr.
getting hit with any of Panter
?ucker punches, and I was alwajw -a
