the Dunn-ErWin Twins.
The Splnners provided another
push in the see-saw battle for
fourth place, showing the Red sox
back into fifth place with an 8-3
win for John McFadden. Outhit
11-9, the league leaders were on
the wrong end of a 81 score until
the last half of the seventh, when

following frame with three more
tallieS.

plate, rapping out three singles
and a double in four trips. Bruce
Hedrick and Thalti Shoffner both
connected safely twice for San
ford, Hedrick driving across five
runs and Shoffner two.
Bob O'Shields' two-run single in
the eighth frame provided the
winning margin for the Blues, who
overcame a five-run deficit to
hand Reliefer Chip Pointbriand his
fourth loss of the year. Duke Ed
wards, also playing the fireman,
took credit for the win. Charley
Shubeck started for Clinton.
Frank Vinnajereas was given
five runs to coast on in the first
inning when Ken Jackson homer

tally in the third when he singled
home Jackson, who had doubled.
The first Robins-Cub game was
Bob Spicer's 18th straight victory,
and his third shutout in four
games. Hightlighting the 16-hit
Lumberton assault on Jim Miller,
T. Jackson and Harold Wood were
Jerry Cabaniss' three hits includ-

ond, stole third and stole home.

ter the count was 2 and l on the
next batter, Ralph Dixon.
In the second game, the Cubs
gave the Robins a rougher time
than in the opener. They collected
is hits Of their own and took ad-
vantage of eight Robbins errors

win of the year. Cabaniss con-
tinued his slugging activities by
