Despite the fact that both the Giants and the Dodgers are inmates of the second division, about 30,000 customers are expected to attend their battle under the Polo Grounds arcs, while a capital crowd is also expected in the Capital to watch the flag-conscious Yanks tangle with the resurgent Senators. Both the Dodgers, who are squirming to escape the cellar, and the Giants, hungry for a first-division spot, will have the advisory services of their managers again. NL prexy Ford Frick said yesterday that Leo Durocher's five-day suspension meant five calendar days, and so The Lip's banishment technically ended yesterday. OTT STILL INACTIVE Ott's injury, however, still hasn't completely healed, and he won't be available for more than pinch-hitting service before Sunday's double-header. With another left-handed Giant slugger, Phil Wein-traub, also still sidelined by injury, the will present a predominantly righthanded lineup, an attractive target for Durocher's likely pitching selection: Ben Chapman.

In his only other hurling effort here, Chappie made his NL debut a huge success by batting the ball all over the lot and displaying a righthanded assortment of stuff that baffled the Braves, also under lights. "The ex-Yank flychaser will have topflight opposition, though, for the Giants will counter with their hurling ace, Bill Voiselle. The husky rookie has notched 15 victories, including four out of four from Brooklyn.

And no little credit should be groins to that foin broth of a boy, Bobby Permane, even if his father was an tngiishman. ror me nine fella flew like a banshee itself to drive the dark bay filly to her hairline triumph over Lou-Bre in a sizzling 1:11 15. BOBBY'S BABY MOVES.

Step Across had been overlooked in the betting because the six furlongs figured too short a distance for the router. But if she needed more room, somebody must've forgotten to tell her and Permane. Bobby broke the strong running Wheatley Stable gal slowly along with favored Autocrat as Roman-ock and Bellwether spurted to the front. Though the public's choice, supposedly built fo rthis distance, remained in the backwash, Bobby's baby soon started moving for the better places. He urged her along steadily on the outside and teamed up with Lou-Bre around the top turn as both shot past the fading Roma-nock.

Straightening out, Step Across pounded to a half length lead and then seemed to hang as Atkinson made his bid aboard Lou-Bre. surging the chestnut colt's head in front. But Step Across had something left. Permane cuddled far up on her bobbing neck and cooed to her as the spirited lady pulled ahead by inches to stick her sleek nose into the photo first. Romanock, meanwhile, had come on again to salvage show dough.

DOUBLE FOR PERMANE That tingling triumph made it a perfect day for Permane, who booted both his mounts home. Immediately before, brilliant Bobby had whipped in Fledglintr at a fa vored $4.10 with a ride that was I even more impressive than the feature. He broke Alfred Vanderbilt's filly dead last in the five-horse field, and trailed by a seemingly hopeless eight lengths at the quarter mark of the six furlong dash. But again Bobby had a way with the women. He moved the willing lady into his favorite outside channel to zoom to within a half length of pace-setting Still Blue at the stretch turn, and then drove her home by a head.

Pete Peroni claimed Rock wood Argo before the first race and felt like a man who'd picked up a big bargain as the chestnut illy pranced home an easy $6.80 victor.

around World Series time. Jack Collins, business manager of the Brooklyn club, is one of those MacPhail is interested in bringing across the river with him and there are others whose ability in handling the financial end of the Dodgers Larry thought well of when he as boss in the batty borough. Speaking of Brooklyn employes, another product of the rumor factory has Leo Durocher listed manager of the Yanks in the event that Joe McCarthy prefers to resign rather than work with the bombastic MacPhail. LEO PUT OX SPOT This doesn't exactly jibe with the fact that MacPhail was highly critical of Durocher when the Brooks lost to the Cards in '42. Further, a Phoenix, contractor by the name of Richard Webb is presumed to be one of MacPhail's backers.

The Yanks can be bought for less than and this gentleman is said to be in a position to supply much of the wherewithal to make the purchase. The rest is Hollywood money, probably not from the purses ny of the movie set already interested in horse racing. Dan Topping, Brooklyn football owner and a captain in the Marines (he's also overseas), has been mentioned as one of the boys toting the money bags for MacPhail. He denied it five weeks ago. Of course, it is a fact that MacPhail is still in the Army.

He is in Europe, probably in the company of Undersecretary of. War Robert Patterson and Lieut. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, head of the Army Supply Forces.

MAY GET RELEASE However, in view of MacPhail's age (54) and the probability that the war liy turope will end this year, it is possible that he could obtain a release from the Army if he requested it in order to take over the direction of the Yanks. Ed Barrow, present boss of the Bombers, still denies that the sale has been completed and he is backed up in this by the executors of the Ruppert estate, the Manufacturers Trust Company. It is a fact that MacPhail's appearance in the picture would mean the dismissal of Barrow, since it wouldn't be possible for these men to work either together or with one under the other. Politico Jim Farley is said still to be in the running as purchaser and it would be a happier deal from Barrow's point of view than a sale to a syndicate headed by MacPhail. Farley admires Barrow and would probably retain him.

rally of their cellar representatives. Flashing fine pitching and timely hitting, the Nats have bagged four of their last five, including three out of four from the league leading Browns. Dutch Leonard, whose 10 triumphs make him the ace of the staff, will send his bothersome knuckler at the Yanks, aiming for his third decision over them this year. Ernie Bonham, who allowed the Nats only one run and that unearned in his only appearance against them this year, is manager Joe McCarthy's chucking choice. However, the main Yank question is catching, not pitching.

With Rollie Hemsley gone, Mike Garbark will be able to handle the single games tonight and tomorrow night, but it's doubtful that he can catch Sunday's double-header under Washington's wilting sun. This leaves a logical opening for Rip Collins, the 39-year-old third-stringer, who has caught only six innings all season. Kilmer Tops Cops Camp Kilmer's nine avenged a previous setback by the N.Y.
