Dodgers did no to have pitching team Lippy by Grantland Rice special to the stars and stripes baseball managers or representatives of units desirous of entering a team in the Oran fail baseball leave Are requested to to present tonight at a special meeting in the athletic office of special service in the Barclay Bank big. The time is 7 30. Gel Zeke Bopra will preside. Gordon gets b bag new York Sid Gordon giant Utility infielder has been accepted by the army and will report for induction on sept. 25. New York just what might happen to Leo a Lippy Durocher a future is worrying Durocher less than any one else. He has passed his test for Uso work among the troops overseas and will be ready to go when he is called. And he wont have to worry too much about a baseball Job who a he gets Back. His record and the past performance Chart will take care of that. Quot you could see this seasons dodger slump coming for some time looking Back to the summer of 1942,�?� Durocher said a but there was Little we could do about it. Larry Macphail called the turn late in july of that year and Branch Rickey called the turn this season Back in june. We simply did no to have the pitching and the team was getting too Quot few realize just what one or two men can mean to a team. Ill give you an example the cardinals banked on Mart Cooper and we banked on Whit Wyatt. But Wyatt carries a bad Arm. Even great pitchers can twin with bad arms. Now suppose Mort Cooper had Wyatt a record this season and Wyatt had won As Many games As Copper. Quot this year we had banked heavily on Wyatt head and Higbe. Of these Higbe has had Only a fair year and Wyatt could no to get in shape until the end of / gust. The cardinals with a flock of Young Pitcher., could afford to lose a few. We could 1844 Outlook what about the dodgers Outlook after 1943? i asked Durocher. A a a can Tell you about that he said a if you can Tell me How Long this War will last. If the War is Ofir by 1944, the dodgers will be ready to pick up where w. Left off in 1941 and 1942. �?�1 know something about some of the Yonger Fellows now lined up. They Are Good ballplayer. And unless something happens we can get Reiser and Reese Back and they will still be under 25. Quot this was a lost year for Brooklyn. It was a lost year before the season opened. If our pitchers had come through we might have been fairly close. But even at the Start every one in baseball knew the cardinals and the Yankees had most of the Good ballplayers left especially on the younger Side. That was t even a guessing matter. Quot together they had about 30 ballplayers under 30 years of age. And most of them were Good the two Coopers Gordon Keller Bonham Johnson Sanders Musial Kurow ski and i could name you a lot More. Quot this All belongs in the Breaks of the game. But i think the dodgers will be ready to move Back in around the top after the War. There was t much we could do this season after our pitchers by Gan to fall apart like him or not you done to find Many people in baseball any smarter than Leo Durocher happens to be on or off the Field. Which includes his mar / c or voluble mistakes. A yes in be made a lot of mistakes Durocher said Quot but five never quit in my life. i wont
