BY GLEN PERKINS

(OulJco freSS STAN correspondent
New York, May 3-(UP)-- If
rookie right handler Charles Schanz
of the Philadelphia Phillies has set
his goal at becoming a nemesis to
the New York Giants in his first
season, it appeared today that he
was well on his way to realizing his
ambition.
OF the four games the Giants
have lost thus far in the campaign,
two have been authored by the be-
specialized rookie Of the Philiies.
Brought up from the San Diego
club of the Pacific coast league
where he won II games last year,
Schanz set the Giants down with
one hit yesterday, that two run
homer by Joe (Muscles) Medwick,
and tripled home the winning runs
in the ninth inning to gain So
triumph. In his last start Schanz
beat the New Workers 4-3 at Phila-
delphia in IL innings.
Trailing 81 going into the ninth
inning, Schanz won his own ball
game with the triple that drove in
three runs to break a 20 tie. The
hit came with two out and moved
Philadelphia up into a three way
for second place in the league
standings with New York and Gin
cinnati.
Rookie Bill Voiselle, seeking his
fourth win in as many starts, was
charged with the loss when some
shoddy infield play opened the way
for the Philadelphia rally.
''Bums" Got Even
The Brooklyn Dodgers needed II
innings to defeat the Boston Braves
To, but they gained ample revenge
for the no-hitter Jim Tobin pitched
against them in their last series.
Frenchy Bordagary, leading off for
the buns, hit the second pitched
ball for a single and the Dodgers
continued the assault to rout Tobin
after three innings. The Braves
tied the count at 6-6 in the sixth
and the two teams battled score
lessly until the 18th when Curt
Davis, who had relieved Les Web
Der in the sixth, singled runner
home to win his own game. Ace
Cardoni was charged with the loss.
The Pittsburgh Pirates gathered
five singles and three runs in teh
eighth inning to come from behind
and beat the first place st. Louis
Cardinals 81 in the only other
National league game scheduled.
Preacher Roe gained his second
victory while rookie Al JuriSch lost.
The New York Yankees won their
third straight game and took over
possession of the American leagues
second place, beating the Philadel-
phia Athletics, Al. Bill uber. who
allowed only four hits, including q
homer by Bill Burgoo, in the eight
innings he worked, received credit
for the triumph. Bobo Newsom
suffered the defeat.
With JOHNNY Niggeling pitching
one hit ball for seven and two
thirds innings and washington Sen
ators downed the Boston Red SoX
for the second straight day, 5-2
George Woods was the loser as two
hits, two walks and two errors gave
Washington three runs in the sixth
to ice the game.
Best Batter
Rookie Chuck Hostetler, current
ly leading the American league with
a batting average of 1852, collected
double and triple as the Detroit
Tigers defeated the first place st.
Louis Browns, AS. Hal Newhouser
was the winning pitcher.
Bill Dietrich allowed the Cleve-
land Indians only five hits, singled
home a run in the seventh and
scored the winning run in the 10th
as the Chicago White Sox eked out
a 80 decision. Paul Calbert was
the losing hurler
