SIGLIN United Pretts Sports Writer NEWPORT, Pa.fUP.) Brooklyn's rampant Dodgers may have clinched the National League pennant in record fashion but foimer teammate Billy Cox predicts they'll lose the World Scries aguin. "They always fold up in the Series," Cox, who retired from baseball early this season after he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians, said In speculating on the team's chan ces against the American Leaguei representative. "Maybe it will be difterent if i 1 1. some iruin cxi vpi inc inn1 It all in the American League," Billy added, "but If It's the Yanks well, that's the Dodgers' jinx." Billy appeared happy and relaxed os he lolled on the well kept lawn of his ranch type home in Newport. No, he said, there were no regrets that he hadn't tried to mnke a go of it with Cleveland, despite the fact that the Indians are still a pretty fair bet to land the American League flag.

"I'm satisfied that my legs couldn't take it any more," said the lantern jawed infielder who was known as the best "glove" man in' the trade when he played at Brooklyn's Eb bets Field. Reminded that a sizeable share of the World Series swag would have heen his if he had gone to Cleveland and the Indians emerged winners in the pennant scramble, Cox merely smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It's not that important," he said. "I'm looking now for a business to buy into maybe a bar or a sporting goods store. I'll never return to an active role in baseball although I like the idea of scouting for talent if it's around my area." Cox is still chuckling about Preacher Roe's revelations that Roe used the illegal spitball during his Cbreer with Brooklyn.

Roe said in a published story that sometimes Cox and sometimes Peewee Reese "loaded up" the "spitter" for him. "Sure I knew Preach used to throw it once in a while," Cox said with a grin. But he declined to confirm Roe's story about the "moisture" aid Cox is supposed to have given him. Instead he just chuckled. "That Preach was a real smart pitcher." The hernia which was the immediate cause of his retirement is not bothering Cox now and he has temporarily shelved plans for an opeintion.

"Not as long as it doesn't give me trouble." Cox said. He had an observation about Robin Roberts' habit of throwing home run balls. "Roberts just doesn't like to wftlk anybody," Cox said. "In his book a base on balls is the worst pitching sin. So sometimes the pitch is just a little too good and there Big Values PRINCE ALBERT 16 oz.

Ford carried a 2 1 lend into th eighth frame but with one out served up a home run ball to Bobby Aviln that tied the score. Evers followed with a double and Al Rosen was purposely walked.

By TIM MORI ARTY United PreM Sport Writer The Philadelphia Eagles were riding high and the Cleveland Browns were skidding towards a new low today as National Football League teams entered the final week of their pre season head knocking.

The Lions gained a 0 3 lead in the first halt on 'a 50 yni scoring pass from Bobby Layne to Lome Dibble and an 11 yard field goal by Doak Walker.

Hunchy Hoerne sehmeyer bulled over for another Detroit score in the final quarter and Jim Martin booted a 34 yard field goal.

Their decisive score was produced by Ralph Gold ston, who scooted 55 yards with a recovered fumble late in the same rjeriod. In other Saturday night games, Baltimore posted an impressive 24 14 victory over the Chicago Cardinals; Bob Watkins' second period touchdown gave the Chicago Bears a 7 0 triumph over the New York Ghnts, and the Washington Redskins edged the Green Bay Packers. 33 31.

Y. (LTJ A tug of war for the future services of V. S. Tennis Champion Tony Tra bert of Cincinnati developed today! among two pro tennis promoters' and a business firm that'll permit!

in 19.18. Shortly after his sensational triumph over little Ken ll of Australia, 9 7, 6 3, 6 .1. the finals Sunday, the 25 yenr old slucRcr became the hottest commodity in' amateur tennis. Rosewwll went down in straight sets ns had his Aussie teammate. Lew I load, in the round before him on Saturday.

Tr; bert thus scored a measure of i personal vengeance for the 5 0 I)avis Cup defeat hung on U. S. forces by; the Australians and, in the victory over Hoad, wiped out his one singles defeat In Davis Cup play. Shortly before Trabert entered the center eotnt to open aualnst Rosewall, Doris Ihrt of Con Gables, Fla climaxed a so so season by winning her secoond straight U. S.

women's title hy whipping Patricia Ward of England, a 145 pound, part time secretary, 2 4, 6 4, 6 2.

The one unlooked for result was Connellsville's li st minute, 14 13 1 conquest of Clairton, which captured the 1954 title in the WPIAL. Jackie, Taylor's placement extra point sent Clairton spinning from this year's chase for the title after the Bears led until the final 15 seconds.
