Facing Johnny Sain‚ Jackie Robinson goes hitless in 3 trips in his debut but handles 11 chances at 1B‚ a new position for him‚ in a 5-3 Brooklyn win over the Braves. Coach Clyde Sukeforth‚ interim manager and the man credited with first scouting Robinson‚ guides the team to 2 wins and a loss before he steps down. The Dodgers also announce the release of Ed Head‚ who threw a no-hitter last year‚ to Ft. Worth.
