clinched the flag for the Browns
last Sunday, had struck out Lit

drove single through second. Dor
Gutteridge, Browns second base
man fielded the ball but was un'
able to make play at first.
Musial, his bat none too loud IN
the first three games, picked out
one of Jakucki's fast pitches ano
parked the lan on the right fielo
pavilion roof. The 81 year ole
Brownie hurler, who has seen base
ball action in such far away points
as Hawaii and Japan, retired the
next six men in order but ran into
trouble again in the third when the
Cardinals put together three hits
and an error by Gutteridge for two
more runs, one of them unearned
First Hit
Brecheen struck out to start the
inning but Litwhiler came through
with his first hit of the series-s
single off Stephens glove. Aftel
Hopp had become Jakucki's fourth
and last strikeout victim, Musia
and Cooper put together successive
singles. Musial's blow moved Lit
whiler to second and he rompee
home as the big Cardinal catcher
lined the ball into left field. Ray
Sanders drove the ball at Gutter

Marion, weakened from a 102-de

double, his third of the series, be

But for some bold base runnin,
by Litwhiler in the seventh ant
Cooper in the ninth, the Nationa
Ileaguers might have made thei,
margin of victory even greater. Ii
the seventh, Litwhiler led off witt
a single to center. He tried t
stretch it into a double but wa
caught at second, Kreevich to Gut
teridge.
j Hops single, Musiaps doubl
and an intentional pass to Coope
loaded the bases but neither San

bring in a run.
With one out in the ninth, Coope
connected with the longest hit G
