DRESSEN SPOTS SILVER LINING Uf I sV ni vveaK mines to nay Dodgers When Giants Tackle Cards, Cubs 6 SEPTEJBER 12, 1952 By HAROLD C. BURR Manager Charley Dressen retained his victory grin after the Dodgers' ll-to-7 defeat by the Cubs at Ebbets Field yesterday that sliced into Brooklyn's shrinking lead another full game and left the National League champions three-and-a-half strides from a second Miracle of Coogan's Bluff. The Giants got a good break, American, Detroit has lost only WWlVWYWAAAAMAAAAAM A44 91 decision's." in the schedule in this home stand against the West," said Dressen, while the rest of the Then the SkinDT propound ed his $64 question. dressing room wore a long face. "They drew the Pirates right asi jJBBBBBBH at the start, the softest team in the league.

The softest in both leagues," added Charley as an Dressen Grimly "What they had started off with the Cardinals? Or the rubs that we had to take on? The Lip might not have taken three straight. I'll say he would not! Mow we get the Cards while Durocher has the Reds to beat np. We'll get the Beds and Pirates, too, of course. But the Giants have the jampoff advantage." "It's going to be all right. afterthought.

"Pittsburgh has its the Odds 103 games. Over in the Fights even if the Giants have the best of the pitching," he continued ON THE SPOT A visitor to Charley Dressen's clubhouse office picked up the current issue of Sport Magazine and read aloud from the front cover: "Charley Dressen: Man on the Hot Seat." The expression on the Dodger manager's face wasn't much of a grin, but it was a grin. I guess. "It seems like I'm always on the hot seat," said Dressen. "That" it does." 'Maybe I ought to buy some asbestos Dressen remarked.

Doghouse By HAVE ANDERSON me uoogers would nave had to overcome a 7 -run Chicago fourth Inning to do It. The Cnbs knocked six Brooklyn pitchers around to do it on IS hits, aided and abetted by four Brooklyn mlsplays.

Billy Loes, starting with two days rest, was the first to go in that disastrous fourth. Ben Wade couldn't get the side out, either, and was followed by Clyde King, Ray Moore, Joo Landrum and Ralph Branca. Hank Sauer hit his 37th home The Giants atill Had a good shot at the pennant today and why? Well, one of the reasons thought is in me minns oi a 101 oi pcupic mrse uj they watch Dressen in the third-base coaching box, clapping his hands, emitting that piercing whittle, trying to pep things up. Who'll be doing that next year? Dressen, of course, if the Dodgers win. If they do not, maybe Eddie Sawyer, most noted of the recent National League managers who is currently "at liberty" maybe Lefty O'Doul, a smoothie from 'way back who, however, hasn't been around in the majors for 20 years maybe Tommy Henrich, who has never managed ma be somebody else.

Whether any one of these figures to be better hasn't much to do with the. switch, and it would be a crying shame so far as this corner is concerned. Not that it would be the first cryfhg shame ever perpetrated in our town, or the last. WOLVES IN FULL CRY Everybody close to the club believes that Dressen has done a whale of a fine job this year, and the chances are that Walter O'Malley, proprietor of the Brooklyn club, thinks so, too. The trouble is that Walter O'Malle? is on a spot, too.

He was a real stand-up guy in Dressen's corner last October, to the great disappointment of the Flatbush wolf-pack. He stood up under an avalanche of abusive letters signed by yapping citizens who maintained that any other relief pitcher but Ralph Branca "woulda" struck out Bobby Thomson. Now he is getting it again and the flood of mail that has poured into his office in the past two weeks would indicate that Dressen hasn't a friend in the world. I think I know what O'Malley would like to do, but I also realize that the Ebbeti Field boss-man isn't equipped with the bankroll of a Tom Yawkey or a Phil Wrigley, and must think in terms of the investment he and his associates have made in the ball club. He also realizes that baseball fans in our town who can think of something nice to say about somebody rarely put their thoughts on paper, while the second-guessert teem able to handle fountain pent with both hands and feet, and iiiiiiiryssssBnH is the front office's ability to bring up three pitchera this season who have combined for run to climax the big frame and Roy Smallev added a token wins, saved, at a guess, 12 others, and lost only three homer in the fifth.

Manager Charley Dressen is confident that his great fireman, Joe Black, will save enough games for him to win the pennant if only the other members of the staff can hold the enemy at bay for six or seven innings each day. Joe is always ready to answer Charley's call for help on the bullpen phone. A few words of instruction and then he's ready to go. And Fireman Joe will save it for the Dodgers, too, if the rest of the boys don't let the flames get out of hand. Pittsburgh Pirates, has won 13 games and lost three.
