humlllating the Brooklyn Dodgers III

This might have been a mortal

an 30 decision to the Boston Braves

Pittsburgh's first victim was Whit
low Wyatt. who few weeks ago was
the leading pitcher in the National
League The Pirates pounced on
Wyatt for four runs in the eighth to
break a tie and send him to his
fourth straight defeat. A double by
Vince Di Maggie with the bases
loaded was the cruSher.
In the nightcap the Pirates took
less than three innings to knock out
Curt Davis, who had won six in a
row for the Dodgers. They made l3
hits. 6 in the third inning.
These feats gave the Pirates
7 straight victories and 81 in their
last % contests, while extending the
Dodgers slump to defeats in 10
tits.
The s.. Louis setback last night
was something of a shock in the way
it was accomplished. The Braves
scored all eight of their runs in the
first two stanzas Harry Gumbert

He gave the Cleveland Indians a

The Yankees bombed the Chicago

tiation now adds up to a neat moth
ing for both sides, as would seem
to be reflected in the status of the
clubs. Ultimately, however, the Mats
feel Griffith's trading reputation
won't suffer as the result of the
deal.
Kennedy was no ball of fire yes
terday as the Browns belted the
Mats back into the American League
basement. Elden Auker checked
Washington with seven hits in reg
istering a So triumph, while Ken
nedy had allowed II hits when he
was removed in the seventh inning.
Auker was puzzling all Mats ex-
cept Jimmy Bloodworth, who
swatted a second inning home run
with Jake Early on base to give
the Mats a 20 lead. Thereafter
Bloodworth was the only Nat to
reach base until the ninth inning
delivering a double in the fifth and
a single in the eighth.
Meanwhile the Browns emerged
from the cellar by separating Ken
nedy from three runs in the third
inning and two more in the sew
enth. The Mats manufactured
their final run with two out in the
ninth when Mickey Vernon tripled
and scored on George Archie's
single to center.
Seeking to promote the Mats to
seventh place today was Steve
Sundra, who was slated to be OPP
posed on the mound by the Browns
Bob Harris. The Browns and Mats
will play a double-header tomor-
row, with the first game due to

Ferrell is hitting somewhat less
