LEAGUE LEADING
CUBS VANQUlSH
BRAVESF0R TWO
Take Fifth And Sixth OF
: Seven Games; Merullo
Gets Winner

BOSTON, Aug. 8.-REThe
league leading Chicago Cubs van
pushed the Braves in both games
of a doubleheader today, winning
the first SO on Ray Prim's seven
hit pitching and taking the second
80 in IL innings behind Hank Wyse.
The triumphs were the Cubs fifth
and sixth out of seven games in
their current road trip and the
second successive doubleheader in
which they won both games.
Shortstop Lenny Merrllo, Bos-
ton boy, knocked in the winning
marker for the Cubs in the 18th
inning of the after piece. Inthat
inning, after Mort Cooper had
struck out Phil Cavarretta, Andy
Pafko doubled, Bill Nicholson was
walked intentionally and the strate-
gy seemed to be working Wher
Cooper also struck out pinch hit
ter Heinz Becker.
But Merullo, who had gone hit
less in nine successive trips go'
his second hit of the day, to score
Pafko.
The Braves went out in order II
their half to end the game.
Del Bissonette was thumbed on
of the park by Umpire Jocko Con
Ian after an argument owe
whether Peanuts Lowrey had hi
foul tip on a third strike in thu
seventh frame of the rMghtcap.
Catcher Phil Mast dropped thu
ball after Lowery swung, grabbed
it and tagged Lowrey who ha
started for first. Conlan shouted
'foul'' and was surrounded i'm
mediately by Jim Tobin, starting
Boston pitcher, Mast and the nev
Braves manager.
All claimed Lowrey missed the
ball "by a foot" Out went DEL
and right after him went Pitcher
Bob Logan who was shouting from
the bench.
The games also were featured by
batting duel between two OF thu
leagues leading batters, Tommy
Holmes and Cavarretta. Holmes
by going four for nine maintained
an edge over Cavarretta who made
SIX hits in 10 official trips.
The first contest was just to-
much prim for the Braves wh'
were getting but seven hits as thu
Cubs stroked 16: leaving Is men OF
bases. Chicago also left Is mel
marooned in the extra inning sec
ond game.
Both teams scored single run
in the fifth and sixth innings o
the second game and then struggled
along until the 18th when the vlsl
tors pulled it out.

er and. at IA pounds, weighs four
pounds more. The main difference
IN build is that Anderson has a
barrel chest, sort of a medium
sized Glenn Cunningham model.
Gunder appeared to have no chest.
They move along in the same free
swinging arm style in warming
up, but when they start to race
their styles differ. y
Haegg runs with feathery
tread, gliding along and seemingly
not touching the cinders. Anders-
son is more of a FOUNDER, driving
along on sheer power.
Anderson looks big in race
and when he and Sydney Wood
erson, Arne's only real competi-
ton, went around the track like a
tandem, it looked like greyhound
chasing a rabbit or vice versa, de-
pending on who was in the lead.
Wooderson is tiny, bespectacl-
ed fellow with stout legs and heart.
1t seemed he had to run about
twice as far as his rangier rival
because of his short strides. He
logged Anderson the first three
laps, then took the lead. He said
later he hoped that by so doing
he could make Anderson open up
early. But the cagey Swede refused
to take the bait and held off until
the last 40 yards when he metho-
Ideally lenthened his stride to pass
the Briton and won going away by
three or four yards.
Anderson said he could have
cut three seconds off the time of
4:08.8 if he had been pressed. An
dersson also said he and Haegg
are very DESTROYS of going to the
United States for the indoor sea-
son next Winter.
AS for Haegg, he still needs a
haircut.
