Bums Have Chance To Tie For Lead TL Teams Get Set For Playoffs By MILTON RICHMAN It could be up or shut today for the Brooklyn Dodgers, who have been babbling a long time about catching Milwaukee but not doing anything concrete about it. Veteran Sal Maglie, the 39-year- old ex-Giant right-hander, get the chance to pitch the Dodgers into a tie for first place today and if the Brooks can beat Milwaukee ace Bob trick they have failed to do in seven previous tries this year they will own at least a share of the National League lead for the first time since last April 23. While the Braves and Dodgers are at each throat in the first of a two-game series, Cincinnati, in third place three games off the pace, will meet the New York Giants in the first of a two- game set.

Manager Birdie Tebbets of the Redlegs predicted that his club would be back in second place after their games with the Giants and games with Brooklyn. With time growing short Cincinnati has only 17 games remaining the same number as Milwaukee and nominated Larry Jansen, once a mainstay with the Giants, to face rookie Joe Margoneri in game.
