as NO I ST.LOUIS STAR-TIMES THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1U43. ST.LOUIS SlAR-IIMtS Star tins Pitchers Hit a Hard As Cardinals i Meet Phillies 1 Northey Browns Sign Conzelman As Assistant To Barnes Quits Grid Post; Inside Story About I The Dodgers I JT jf -4 WHEN BALL PLAYERS GET OFF THE RESERVATION, MEETINQ up with friends here and there at dinner parties or down at Joe place Just around the corner, they often reveal inside club secrets with more or less confidence, don't you know. And, so it was with certain members of the Brooklyn Dodgers during their visit here this week. Wait until Prof. Branch Rickey hears about this information itll startle him no little, and may even knock him off his props.

Those Dodgers are talking about managerial Interference by their president and general manager none other than Rickey, of course. Not only that, but the players are wonderijig how come they spot Branch seated In a box next to their coop whether the Dodgers are playing tbe Pirates in Pittsburgh, the Reds in Cincinnati, the Cardinals in St. Louis or any other park in the National League. There's this story unfolded by one of Leo Durocher's athletes to a local pal, true or false, but from the lips of a Dodger and relayed to this observer: when we were over In Pittsburgh last week 'Mickey Owen received a phone call from Mr. Rickey to rush to Mr.

Rickey's room for a private conference. In plain words that 'Mickey' could understand, and not Mr. Rickey's six-syllable words, 'Mickey' was reminded that he had not been calling the right shots from his pitchers. "We weren't so hot in two games with the Pirates. They whaled us, 17-4 and 9-5.

Another thing, Owen received an expert lesson in second-guessing. He was told he'd been calling for too many fast balls, or maybe it was too many curves, but, anyway, he should mix 'em up more than he had been. "If you ask our pitchers, Owen has done a swell Job in feeding the proper assortment to the batters in 1941. in 1942, and all games in which, he has worked this year. Maybe Mr.

Rickey has a new change of pace as a master-mind that will help us win the pennant in 1943." RAPID CHANGES ON INFIELD. THOSE DODGERS THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING ALL RIGHT for themselves leading the league with a percentage of 21-10 .667 as they moved into the closing week of May. Billy Southworth's Cardinals were right on the heels of the Flatbush Bums, but, running second to these same Bums at that time, remember. Despite the fact tbe Brooks were in first place they had heard rumblings from the executive department they couldn't hold off the Cardinals' challenge with that infield combination showing Al Glossop at second base, Billy Herman at third base, and Arky Vaughan at shortstop. "Babe" Camilli fitted the Rickey requirements at first base.

The expected infield shift occurred about a week ago. Glossop received a ticket to the bench. Herman moved over to his old position at second base, and Dee Moore, drafted from the New Orleans Pelicans last winter, and one of those all-around players, apparently fitted for any position, was the new third-baseman. The player commenting on that strange switch was not certain whether it was thought up by Manager Leo Durocher. or whether Leo the Lip was following instructions from the front office.

"Anyway, we saw Moore's name listed as the third baseman over In Pittsburgh," related Mr. Dodger. "That's not all. We heard from varioo sources that we couldn't win this pennant with Vaughan at shortstop. So what? A young collegian from Illinois University joined us in Cincinnati.

Boyd Bartley's the name. Vaughan transferred from shorUtop to third base to make room for young nartley." Mr. Dodger expressed the opinion that perhaps the club's execuUv department was unduly alarmed over the team's showing. They didn't seem to realize the club couldn't get any higher than first place, and these Cardinals haven't clinched the 1943 pennant as yet. 8tar-Times Photo.

lyn Dodgers. Litwhiler, obtained in a trade with the Phillies, lost no time in joining the Cards. He shuffled into town from Chicago, apparently eager to do his bit toward winning this 1943 National League flag for the Birds.

DUROCHER STANDS ACE HIGH WITH HIS PLAYERS, ACCORDING to our Informant while passing along this information regarding things la' Brooklyn.

It seems Leo, in directing the club, is laboring under a mental hazard this year wondering if every piece of strategy will meet with the approval of Prof. Rickey. Winning this 1943 National League nag for Brooklyn rests squarely on Rickey's shoulders, and Branch is no doubt willing to dip into the managerial department at the risk of players revealing his dual role. It is known that Rickey displayed deep concern over his Dodsers during his visit to St. Louis.

He's shooting for the pennant, and not second place, dropping the following remark in a brief interview: "We have a streaky ball club. I want to see it find itself, and swing into a lead of eight games, if possible, by August. If we do, I promise well not lose it later that month, or even in September." H'm, Branch remembered the flop of the Dodgers a year ago when they set the pace by 10 full lengths in early August, yet trailed our Cardinals by two games at the close of the season. Clouts Homer Lou Klein Triples -In 3rd Inning As Red Birds Score 2 Last Night's Game on Page 23. BY DONALD II.

DREES. Of tbe Star-Times Sports Staff. SPORTSMAN'S PARK, June 3.

Al Gerheauser started for the Phils and was solved for two runs In the Cardinal third as Klein singled.

Nope, Just Milivaukee Playing a Game MILWAUKEE, June 3 (INS) A crowd of 7400 baseball fans jammed into Borchert Field last night to witness a game between the home town Brewers and the Louisville Colonels. They went wild as the Brewers staged one of the best shows of the year. Here is what they saw: 1.

Manager Charlie Grimm strummed a guitar with Hershel Martin, a former Phil player, banging away at the piano. 2. Business Manager Rudy Schaefer operated a bull fiddle contrived 'from a three-gallon paint bucket, and a broom handle. 3. The club's own swing band, with Bill Veeck tooting a dime-store whistle, and the club's own quartet, chimed in.

4. Manager Grimm sang a baritone solo. Oh, yes, Louisville won the game, 9-7, in 10 innings.
