Thanks to Podres, Dodgers Remain Ahead of Cardinals
By Oscar Fraley UPI Sports Writer
The Los Angeles Dodgers are running on the head end apparently free and clear again today and thanks to one of their young-old heroes you have to go with the odd-s makers who make them 7 to 2 in the National League pennant race.
He walks with a plow jockey's plolding stride, like a guy who is carrying an anvil on each shoulder. And when the pressure gets too thick to cut with an axe, he's the kind of a fellow you like to have looking down the lane at those rival hitters.
A guy named Johnny Podres.
HE PUT A BIT of concrete in the Dodger pennant dike last night in a style that would have rocked old Ebbets Field. Which, incidently, is where he started a decade ago and swept the faithful into a never-never land they hardly dared believe.
That was 1955. He was only 23 years old then, yet even in that era bothered by a bad back, the blond
young man with the pale blue eyes came through for them in the clutch. He hadn't had a particularly good year, winning only nine while losing 10, but when they came to the place where the biggest chips were piled, it was Podres who swept them to the first Dodger world championship with two series victories.
That, of course, was eight long years ago. Yet, when they reached the crisis at St. Louis last night, the Dodgers called first on Podres. The Dodgers had been on the skids and everybody was calling them dead. Meanwhile the Cardinals had been riding high with a 10-game winning streak.
But Johnny stopped them cold, setting them down without a hit for 5-1/3 innings. He went eight innings, no longer young at 31 and with that back still bothering him. But in the process, he didn't give the Redbirds a walk and he struck out six.
Of the three hits he allowed, Stan Musial touched him for a home run.
