 New York, Sept. 4.-(UP)--Buck (call me Bopo) Newsom sat com fortably in his own particular berth today among the best of those base- ball performers revered as money players.
 Newsorn, whose major league ca- reer has been almost as kaleida- scopic as the case history of the Dodgers, heightened the National league pennant chance of Brooklyn immeasurably yesterday by scoring his first victory for the .Flatbushers, 2-0, over the Reds at Cincinnati.
 The victory was typically of the Newsom variety. Winner of only II games against 17 losses for the Senators who sold him to the DodR- CTS early this week, Bucky ap- parently was unable to pitch his way out'of a paper hat. But yes- terday, he allowed only four hits, famed eight Reds and was in trou- ble in only two innings as Cincin- ati went scoreless for the 18th time this season.

 Brooklyn's first run scored on an error, the other on a foul ball. Johnny Wander Nicer allowed the Dodgers only five hits and also famed eight. Wander Nicer walked Augie Galan and Arky Vaughan to start the third. Newsom bounced into double play. Then Eric Tipton got both hands on Peewee Reese's low liner but lost the ball as he fell forward and Vaughan scored from second.
 Joe Beggs took over for Cincin- natl in the ninth and walked the first man up, Johnny Rizzo. French Bordagaray ran for Rizzo and reached third when Joe Medwick singled. Ray Starr relieved Beggs and famed Dolph Camilli. Max Marshall made & running catch of Mickey Owens foul, Bordagary scor- ing.
 With two on, Newsom had his first test in the second, but he farmer Frank Kelleher and Ray Lamanno. Damon Phillips doubled with one out in the eighth and New som walked Lonnie Frey but es- capped trouble when Eddie Joost grounded into a double play.
 The hot-footed Cardinals re- mained { 1-2 games behind the Dodgers, blanking the Giants, TO, at St. Louis behind Howie Pollet's four-hit hurling. Pollet won his fifth victory and beat the Giants for the fourth time this year. St Louis collected only nine hits but knocked Carl Hubbel from the bos with a four-rln assault in the 9th
 Costly Error
 Three men scored for the Card in the third when Babe Barna Inis, judged Fry Dusaks fly and 1t fel for a double with the bases loaded catcher Harry Danning for a week when he suffered 8 split index fin- ger.
 The Philadelphia Pittsburgh night game was postponed.
 Bill Rutland, youthful Red SoS side-arn pitcher, won his sixth con- secutive victory since gaining a starters post. He held the Tigers UO 1OuT u1LSS DAhIlk4LlB b1lSAuS A"V It was his second shutout.
 Rutland opened against Hal Neu- houser, who left the game in the sixth after the second Sox run had been scored and he had walked But land to fill the bases. The two hits they made in that inning brought the Sox total to five off Newhouser but they failed to solve two successors for any more. Ted Williams out drove in the first run in the third and single by Johnny Peacock brought in the second run in the sixth.
 washington walloped the White Sox, 3-2 and 14-0. Jimmy Yer non and Bobby Estalella homered for the Senators first two runs ill the opener and two errors, a sac- rifice and Stan Spence's long fly pushed over the winner in the sew enth. The Senators pasted two pitchers for 20 in the night cap.
