Dodgers, Still FOLLOWED
ByCards WhipP Pittsburgh

Dodgers and the Cardinals both
won today, enabling the Brooks to
hold their six-game margin over
the doggedly pursuing Redbirds in
the National league race.
Brooklyn edged Pittsburgh in a
wild game, II to 10, and the Cardi-
nails defeated the Boston Braves
in a night contest, 5 to 2, as George
Munger's four-hit pitching was too
good for Lefty Warren SPAIN.
Stan Musiars two-run homer in
the first inning got St. Louis off
to a lead, but the Braves tied the
score in their half. Terry Moore's
double and Del Rice's single in the
second inning proved to be the win
ming run.
Cincinnati beat the Pills, 5 to 3,
scoring four times in the second
inning on five hits and two wild
pitches by loser Oscar Judd. Bucky
Walters was the winner.
Sam Zoldak's four-hit pitching
gave the Browns a l to 0 win over
Washington, although st. Louis got
only three hits off Rae Scar
borough and Milo Candini. A
walk, an infield out and Bill Hitch
cocks single in the second inning
resulted in the rim.
New York stayed II 80 games
ahead of the Red Sox when the
Chicago White Sox beat the Yam
KEGS, 4 to g., scoring all their runs
in the first two innings off Floyd
Bevens. Three Chisox runs scored
in the second inning on singles by
Cass Michaels, Mike Thesh, Pitch
er Frank Papish, Don Holloway
and Taft Wright.
The Dodgers got off to a seven
u lead and then barely lasted
for their IL to 10 victory in a battle
Of horse runs.
Brooklyn pounded Kirby Higbe
and Rip Sewell for seven runs
in the second inning, three scor-
ing IN Stan Rocks triple and
three more on Pete Reiser's home
run. But the Pirates pounced on
Clyde King and Hugh Casey for
home runs by Sewell, Billy Cox,
Jim Russell and Ralph Kiner, and
this, with some added Dodger scor-
ing, brought the count to II to 10
in the ninth inning and the Pirates
had the tying run on third base
with one out. Casey got Kiner on
an infield fly and Hank Green
berg on a grounder and the 20, 900
happy but nerve-worn Dodger
rooters staggered out of Ebbets
field.
The Chicago Cubs used the
Giants own weapon, the home run,
to defeat the New Workers in 10
innings, 8 to 7. Bill urges first
fourbagger of the year with Bob
Scheffing IN base in the 10th pro-
vided the winning runs. Scheffing
Andy Pafko and Phil C~avarretta
hit other Cub homers, and Will
lard Marshall and Bobby Thomson
got round-trippers for New York,
making the Giant total 175, only
seven under tht major league rec
ord of 1872 set by the 1886 Yankees.
Cleveland came from behind to
nip the Boston Red Sox, 10 to 8,
when Edgar Smith walked the ty-
ing and winning runs home in the
eighth inning. Reliefer Earl John
son walked in another run. The Red
Sox had taken the lead in the
seventh inning on Murrell Jones'
three-run homer. Ted Williams got
three hits in four tries to add to
his league-leading batting average.
Philadelphia beat Detroit, 7 to s.,
to pull within one game of third
place. Detroit made three errors
and Tiger pitchers allowed eight
bases or balls, and these, with
II AS hits, were too much for
the Tigers. Pete Suder got three
hits in five tries
