The Gazette and Daily, York, 'Q Thursday Morning, September 27, 1956 31 Haney Has Scouting Dope On Yanks, Cubs 13-Inmng Win But Looks To Capturing Flag First tiver cards, to 2 Chicago UP) Solly Drake's two-out single in the 13th gave Chicago, a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday and kept the Cubs from matching the team's Pairings Announced For 1st Round Play In Dixie Cage Event N. C. CP) Wake Forest will meet DePaul in the opening game of the eighth annual Dixie Classic Basketball tournament here Dec. 27-29.

This was determined yesterday in the drawing of pairings. Other first round pairings: defending champion North Carolina State vs. Iowa, Duke vs. West Virginia, and North Carolina vs. Utah.

Iowa was runner-up to the national champion last season and won the Big Ten championship. West Virginia won the Southern conference crown, and Utah is champion of the Skyline conference. DePaul is a major independent team. pitching plans for the three-game series here except to say the veteran Warren Spahn, who won his 20th game Tuesday against Cincinnati, will start at least one of the games. The manager said he wasn't ready- to announce his starting pitcher for the series opener Friday.

"Fred hasn't made any decisions yet about the pitching, but I'm ready to go any time. he wants me," said Spahn. The 35-year-old lefthander reported word of Sal Maglie's no- all-time high of 93 defeats. Drake's decisive blow came after Gene Baker's double and hung the season's 11th defeat on Murry Dickson, who allowed only five hits in going the route. The Cubs' all-time losing mark of 93 in one season was registered by the 1949 team.

The current Bruins now rest in the National League cellar with 60-92. Jim Brosnan, who pitched the last three innings, was credited with his fifth victory. He has lost nine. Four hits were needed for a Cardinal run in the first, Ken Boyer shoving Stan Musial across with a single through short. The Cards moved ahead 2-0 in the top of the fifth on a pair of singles and an infield out.

The Cubs tied it at 2-all with a pair in the iffth on singles by Walt Moryn and Baker, a walk and Boyer's throwing error. i ST. LOITTS CHICAGO EXHIBITION HOCKEY New York (NL) 4, Providence (AL) 3 Dodgers Shaken, But Not Panicky Brooklyn club still certain it can win National league flag despite setback which drops team one game back of pace-setting Milwaukee. Brooklyn UP) "That was a lousy exhibition if we played like that all year we'd be in the cellar," growled Jackie Robinson. The brooding silence in Brooklyn's dressing room, after the nant-jolting 7-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday, was so enveloping you could hear the gnashing of angry Dodger teeth.

But if the pld pros of Ebbets field were beginning to crack def the pressure of the National League stretch run which now finds them a full game back of Milwaukee with three games for each to play it wasn't evident. worry, we'll win it," said unshaven Duke Snider, whose two home runs and booming double comprised three of the Dodgers five hits off the Philly pitching ace, Robin Roberts. "Our big game is Friday night. If we can beat Bob Friend (Pittsburgh), I think we'll win the next two games. And I know Milwaukee will lose at least one to the St.

Louis Cardinals." The Dodgers have three games left with the pesky Pirates, who stalled their pennant express last week-end in Pittsburgh, while Milwaukee has three week-end games, starting Friday, with the Cardinals in St. Louis. Error Opens Gates The "goat" of yesterday's game was leftfielder Sandy Amoros, who dropped an easy fly ball in the second inning which ultimately opened the door for the Phillies' three-run inning; who misplayed another fly ball and who made two errors in throwing judgment which accounted for other Philadelphia scores. FOR SAL St. Louis UP) Manager Fred Haney of Milwaukee, still keeping his fingers crossed despite the one-game margin of his front-running Braves, said yesterday he's not going to become overconfident "because you can't back into a pennant." Haney conceded the Braves are happy over Brooklyn's 7-3 loss to Philadelphia yesterdaya defeat that means the Braves can win the National league flag by sweeping a three-game series with St.

Louis regardless of how the Dodgers fare in their three remaining games. "But I'm no more confident now than I was before," said the Milwaukee field boss, whose club doesn't play again until Friday night. "We've still got to win those three games from the Cards. You can't back into a pennant." Haney's concentration on the spine-tingling pennant chase kept him from giving his full attention to scouting reports he received on the New- York Yankees, his World Series foes if the Braves win the flag. "I'm not going to worry too much about them until we get through these three games," Haney said.

The Braves wind up the regular season with contests here Friday, Saturday and Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves manager, whose players took the day off after an 8:45 a.m. (CDT) arrival that interrupted their sleep, said morale of his team is high for the decisive games. 'They all think they can win," he said.

"But regardless of what they (the Dodgers) do, we have to win the rest of them. It's -tough all the way now." The fat file on the champion Yankees of the American league came from Billy Southworth and Bill Maughn, Braves scouts, and Paul Waner, roving hitting coach of the Milwaukee organization. Haney wouldn't outline his 52 CHEVROLET Bel Air. Tu-tone. R-H.

Clean $OVIC inside and out. hit pitching for Brooklyn Tuesday against Philadelphia, which reached the Braves while they were en route here, didn't damage Milwaukee spirits. Many of th Braves went back to bed at their hotel, after their early morning arrival, and some slept past noon. "The rest will do them good," Haney said, adding he would put the Braves through a light workout this morning "just to keep 'em loosened up and ready." Fred Hutchinsonr manager of the Cardinals, announced he would start Tom Poholsky Friday, Herm Wehmeier Saturday, and either Murry Dickson or Vinegar Bend Mizell Sunday.

Mizell has a sore tendon in his pitching elbow. depends on how Mizell's arm feels," Hutchinson said. "I can't afford to risk injuring his career, no matter how important the game." Hutchinson said he'd like nothing better than to dump the Braves in the important series, just as the Cards tried to tumble Brooklyn a week ago. And he added: "I think we can do it, too." atrhoa abrhoa 495 395 2 0 0 0 1 Drake cf 6 0 13 0 51 HUDSON 2-Dr. A perfect family car.

McCOY RESIGNS Los Angeles UP) Babe McCoy, matchmaker at the Olympic auditorium, announced his resignation last night. He served the boxing club for 15 years and made over 5,000 matches with a gross gate of more than seven million dollars. Announcing Premier Showing RO AD KING Trucks Tomorrow's Truck Today! -saS3P' tmmn sill mnw wmKL iniMHIDIHll Amoros, a Cuban who can't speak English, was disconsolate after the game, explaining with gestures that the sun got in his eyes when he parked under Elmer Valo's easy fly ball, in the second inning. Del Ennis reached third and Valo second on the error and both later scored on a double, by Roy Smalley. Walt Alston, Brooklyn's manager, was quick to come to the young outfielder's defense.

"He had a bad day, sure," said the grim Alston. "But remember a year ago in the seventh inning of the seventh game of the World Series, he made the great catch and saved the game and series for us. "He was a hero then. Now he's a goat. That's the way it goes.

But he's been a great help to us all year. We've got no gripes." Alston smiled when asked if he'd seen any signs of panic or "tightening up" of his athletes in the late pennant drive. 'There's not a man put there who doesn't think we're going to win this thing," he said. "We've got our, backs to the wall, sure, but these guys are old pros. They don't choke." Alston said he didn't think New-combe, who failed in his bid for his 27th pitching victory, was affected by lack of sufficient rest.

"It's true he worked that nightmare game in Pittsburgh Sunday and had only two days' rest," the Brooklyn manager said. "But he had good stuff when he was warming up. And he had good stuff in the game. "But he came up and told me he couldn'f get really loose, that he was stiffening up. It was cold and raw out there."
