Rosen, Recent Dodger,HeIps Giants Win 2

today, all because Goodwin Rosen Is burned up at the Dodgers.
 They have high hopes that the spark he kindled in his first ap- pearance with them yesterday, will enable them in turn to burn up the National League.
 That may be asking too much, since the Giants need more than, a hard-hitting outfielder. But the fire and spirit that has been lacking was there yesterday as the coliorful Ros- er led the Giants to a twin victory over his teammates of the day be- fore, ' to 3 and 10 to {.
 It was the old story of o ball play- CT being sold down the river" and rising at the first opportunity to torment the team that had no fur- ther use for him. Bought for the bargain basement price of $25, 900 in Q tWo-for-one sale in which rookie first baseman Jack Graham was thrown in, Rosen made no secret of the fact that he was bitterly dis appointed. He had his top year with the Dodgers in l945,, batting .325, which was tops for the team, and driving in 76 runs. But there was no place for him in the Dodger acc cent on youth, so he was moved along.
 Rookie Joyce Coasts
 He set the hitting pace in both games, getting three sharp singles in the opener and a three-run homer and a single in the second game. Hal Schumacher, a top-flight pre-war pitcher, won the opener in his first start, distributing seven hits effectively. Rookie Bob Joyce came on for his third straight Vic- tory, coaSting in after the Giants gave him 9 to 1 lead in five in- nings.
 Bill Rigney, Buddy Blattner and Ali Pike got Giant homers and Pee Wee Reese and Dixie Walker hit Dodger homers in the two games. The victories ended a seven-game Giant losing streak and an eight game Dodger winning streak.
 The Cardinals remained tied with the Dodgers at St. Louis, also going down for a double count to the Chi- cago Cubs, 9 to 2 and 3 to 1. The Cubs tied the opener at 7-all in the ninth on Mickey LiVingston's homer, then pushed across two runs in the 10th. Don JohnsonS four singles set the pace for the winners. In the sec- ond game, Johnny Schmitz edged Ken Burkhardt in pitching battle, the Cubs clinching 1t in the seventh with four singles, a stolen base and sacrifice that netted two runs.
 Braves Cop Pair
 The Boston Braves took a firmer hold on third place with 6 double victory over the Phils at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, 6 to i and ? to 1. Most hsartening news was the return to form for forkbal- Ter Morton Cooper, who pitched the first game.
 Cooper, Shelvod most of last sea- son with the second arm operation Of hiS career, had been Q htg lAalbtl- ity, bAt was effective in winning his first 1046 game. Rookie John Sain pitcher the second victory, shading Al Jtlrisich. Carvel (Bama) Rowell's double and Phil Masi's single in the sixth broke the 1-all tie. Stuart HoffeCth'S three-run triple in the fourth clinched the opener. The Braves borrowed the Red Sox park because paint on the seats at their own field still leaves the customers green.
