Although trainer Gus Mauch and Stengel think he'll be ready for the series, Mickey isn't too hopeful. "I haven't really tested the leg yet," he said, "and I won't test it until tomorrow but I think it's far from being healed. It doesn't hurt when I bat but I don't think I can run on it." The National Football League itandings looked strange today with Cleveland and Detroit, the league's bully boys for three years, on the bottom looking up.

One game doesn't make a season, of course, even in the NFL, where they only play a dozen games a season. But both titans had long winning streaks over their opponents smashed as the Washington Redskins, with Eddie Le Garon passing for two touchdowns and scoring another, whipped Cleveland 27-17 and Green Bay nipped Detroit 20-17 on a pass from Tobin Rote to Gary Knafclc with 20 seconds to go.
