DIMAGGIO
STAR MAN
OF YANKS
Puts His Club in Lead for
Another Pennant Win
-Hits Terrific Pace
(By the Associated Press)
Peerless Joe DiMaggio is playing
he leading role again in the New*
York Yankees' mad dash to their
'7th American League pennant.
DiMaggio’s booming bat has
blazed the Yanks into the com
nanding 3‘/j game lead they enjoy
oday. Only a miracle will prevent
he Yanks from winning their sec
nd straight championship.
Casey Stengel’s Marauders have
ix games left to play and need to
vin only four to sew up the pen
lant. If they win only three the
I unner-up Detroit Tigers would have
| o take all of their seven just to
| ie the Bombers. Three Yankee vic
ories would eliminate the third
[ ilace Boston Red Sox.
As a matter of fact, with a little
[ uck the Yanks can eliminate the
Tigers today. All they have to do is
beat Washington twice while St.
| ouis knocks off Detroit twice.
I DiMaggio has been knocking the
! ar out of the ball since the stretch
! Irive began Sept. 1. The big guy
; las hit safely in his last 17 games
1 md in 21 out of 22.
Terrific Pace
This terrific .391 pace has lifted
i DiMaggio’s season average over the
j 300* mark for the first time this
year.
Allie Reynolds and Ed Ford, sen
ational rookie lefthander, were on
he mound yesterday as the Yanks
urned back the Washington Sena
ors, 8-3 and 7-4.
Reynolds scattered nine hits to
lang up his 15th victory in the
ipener and Ford granted only seven
n bagging his ninth without a set
back in the finale.
DiMaggio was the big gun in both
games.
The Red Sox kept their faint
hopes alive by sweeping a double
header from the hopeless Philadel
phia Athletics, 8-0 and 3-0, in the
nly other American League activity.
Mel Parnell blanked the A’s on
hree hits in the opener to post his
8th victory. Harry Taylor, recently
turchased from the Brooklyn orga
:ization, shut-out the Athletics on
wc safeties in the finale.
National League
The Philadelphia Phillies made
,ome hay in their National League
pennant drive. The Phils divided a
loubleheader with the Braves in
Boston while the runner-up Brook
yn Dodgers split a day-night twin
. pill with the New York Giants to
remain five games back.
Philadelphia now needg to win
,nly four of its remaining seven
tames to clinch its first pennant
iince 1915.
Ken Heintzelman, making his first
start since July 30, pitched the Phils
to a 12-4 victory in the opener.
The Braves took the nightcap,
5-3, to spoil Jim Konstanty’s record
tying 70th relief appearance. The
Braves snapped a 3-3 tie in the
eighth with a two run rally.
Konstanty, in making his 70th re
lief job, tied Ace Adams of the
Giants for most games pitched in a
single season.
Preacher Roe turned in his 19th
victory for the Dodgers in the day
half of their doubleheader with the
Giants. 3-2.
The Giants scored three runs in
the eighth inning to wipe out a 2-1
deficit and win the night encounter,
4-3.

Fight Experts Disagree on
Outcome ot Louis Charles
Champ Fight; Betting Odds
- I
NEW YORK, Sept. 26—<#)—With
the Joe Loufs-Ezzard Charles fight1
only a day away, fight experts still ]
are disagreeing violently on the out- ,
come of the heavyweight champion
ship bout at Yankee Stadium to
morrow night.
Gene Tunney, the only retired,
undefeated heavyweight champion
to stay retired, was among those on
.he Louis bandwagon.
“Joe will knock him out in five
round$" said Tunney.
“If Jack Dempsey is not the
greatest fighter who ever lived, then
Joe Louis is," said Tunney. "There
is no reason to think, because Louis
s 36, that he has not retained the
skill and power that he had When
le retired.”
Tunney and the others who pre
iict a Louis victory, believe that Joe j
s going to catch Ezzard at least
;nce, and that will be enough. A
fighter’s punch is the last thing he
loses, and the bomber, even at 36,
hasn’t shown any signs of weakness
n the power department yet.
The Charles backers, headed by
fight manager Vic Marsillo, wail
hat Ezzard is the most under-rated
heavyweight challenger since Tun
ney, himself, first stepped into the
ring against Dempsey.
Marsillo, a canny judge of boxing
styles, not only believes that the j
29-year-old Cincinnati Negro will
win, but that Charles will knock
Louis out.
"I like the well-oiled machine
against one that hasn’t been used
for a time,” said Marsillo. “Sure
Louis can punch, but he's going to
have to catch Charles first. What

The bookmakers still have Louis
the favorite at 1 to 2. If you like
Louis to win by a knockout, it is
even money. Six-to-five and pick

you like Charles by a knockout you
ean get 5 to 1 odds.
