Johnny Sain, Mr.. Left and Mr..
Right of the pennant-starved Boston
Braves, threatened today to eclipse
the modern National League record
number Of victories hung up by two
pitchers of the same club In one
season.
With 20 wins already in the bag,
SPAIN and Sain, upon whom Braves
followers are depending to bring
them their first flag in 80 years,
stand fighting chance to better
the mark of So garnered by Bucky
Walters and Paul Derringer of the
1899 Cincinnati Reds. Walters won
81 and Derringer Is that pennant-
winning year.
The modern major league stand
ard is held by Hal NewhQuser and
Paul Dizzy Trout of the 1914 De-
troit Tigers. They copped 56 that
year.
SPAIN Marks Up Eleventh.
SPAIN, 25-year-old sophomore
from Buffalo, NJ Y, nabbed his 1Ith
triumph against two defeats last
night when he pitched the Braves
to 9-6 victory over the climbing
Cardinals in st. Louis. He allowed
only EIGHT hits, but three of them
were home runs to account for five
st. Louis runs.
In pitching his ninth complete
game of the campaign. SPAIN tied
his teammate Sain in that depart
ment. Only Ewell Blackwell (1D of,
the Reds and Harry Brecheen d0)
of the Cards have gone the route
more often. 1t was the lean left
handlers third win in four decisions
against the Redbirds and tied him
with Blackwell for most wins in the
majors.
Sain Wins Four Straight.
Sain, who got off to a below par
start for him by breaking even in
his first six decisions. has won his
last four games to boost ga record.
Spahn's victory enabled the Braves
to retain their one-game lead over
the Brooklyn Dodgers in the torrid
National League pennant race. The
Dodgers nipped the Pirates, Az, in
a night game at Pittsburgh. The
New York Giants protected their
third-place hold against the Cubs
by slugging the Bruins, 11-0, in
Chicago. The Reds edged up on the
fifth-place Cardinals by knocking
off the Philadelphia Phils, Al. at
Cincinnati.
In the only American League

DETROIT, June 25.-When a

good, and that's just what Jim
Ferrier did on more than one
occasion yesterday. When
Nelson, who refereed the match,
dropped into the press tent after
ward - something, incidentally,
he never did before his retire
ment-he was fairly popeyed
over Jim's chip shots. I'm
81 years of golf I never saw any
