Straight, Burdette on Fire
BROOKLYN (Sept. 25)
-- Defending champions Brooklyn went on a 10-game winning streak, quelling
fears that the Washington Monuments might overtake them in the final weeks
of the season. Brooklyn's lead was sliced to one game after the Mons
won 10 straight Sept. 5-15. But the defending champs emerged from a
3-4 mini-slump with their own 10-game surge (Sept. 13-23).
September heros include starter #3 starter Lew Burdette
(18-8, 3.66), who is 4-0, 0.86 with three shutouts in his last five
starts, and 'Sphinx' Mossi, who is 5-1, 2.98 in his last six starts.
Reigning MVP Granny Hamner leads the club with 15 RBIs in September, on
pace for his second straight year of batting .350 with 200 hits and 100
RBIs. Harry 'Suitcase' Simpson is turning on a late season power
surge, slugging .844 with 5 HR in 11 games.
The Brooks lead Washington by four games with six to play,
including a critical three-game head-to-head encouter at Griffith Stadium
Thursday thru Saturday (9/25 to 9/27).

CHICAGO (Sept. 25) – Colts’ GM Lance Mueller sent shockwaves
through Chicago’s north side today, revealing the team would be moving
across town to Comiskey Park after the 1959 campaign. “We’ve been
wrangling with the Wrigley contingence for over a year in an effort to
establish a new long term lease,“ Mueller said in a recent press
conference, “but we’ve been unable to come to terms that both sides
found agreeable. Thus, we had to seek other arrangements.” Those
“other arrangements” came in the form of Comiskey, which had fallen
into city control and has sat dormant since the American League was
dissolved in 1951. “We did not want to deprive the citizens of
