Groat Targets MVP Award as Dodgers Press Lead
A long forecast centers on Dick Groat of the St. Louis Cardinals as a prime MVP candidate after a .343 average and stellar defense. The Dodgers hold a six game edge in the pennant race while Groat fuels a late surge with four hits in a 5-1 win. Baseball roundup notes Podres strong for Dodgers, Maloney.jpg strong for Reds, and Sayres surge for Giants as Marichal and Kuenn pace varied games. Farmers’ food dollar share shrinks as marketing costs rise, and Mike and Joe Moore volunteer as umpires for Little League and Pony League games, praised by Jim Wheeler.
