Durocher Declared a Nice Guy by Critics
In New York on May 24 Oscar Fraley reports Leo Durocher defies critics by being a nice guy with Dodgers atop the standings. Grady Hatton of the Reds hits Erv Palica for a seat filler as Brooklyn endures an eighth straight loss. The A's and Phillies spark a long day with doubleheaders and late scoring, while Babe Ruth family ties appear in the Yankee division chase. Joe DiMaggio powers the Yankees on a western swing as homers climb, and Virgil Trucks falters in a 1-0 defeat to Washington with walks loading the ninth. The Braves gain ground behind Vern Bickford as Chicago’s Red Sox stumble in two to the “anemic” Hose.
