Buns Gain on Cards
AS Newcombe Turns
Tables on Leaders
By RoIph Roden
Associated Press Sports Writer

Don Newcombe, big Negro right
handler of the Brooklyn Dodgers
who has had his ups and downs
has something to smile about to-
day. He's turned the tables or
his chief tormentors-the st. Louis
Cardinals.
Solidly cuffed in three previous
encounters with the rollicking Red
birds, Newcombe clipped the
league leaders, AZ, yesterday to
snap their nine-game winning
streak and put the Buns back in
the National League race.
The Cards spoiled Newcombe' S
major league debut on May 20
socking him for four hits and
three runs in a third of an inning
The next time the two met, the
Cards belted Newcombe out of the
box in the ninth inning with a
three-run rally and went on to
win in overtime.
NeWcombe' third brush against
the Birds occurred a week age
Sunday and what the Cards did
to him shouldn't happen. He
couldn't get anybody out in the
first inning. The Cards bhe6ed
to a AL; victory and took over
first place from the Dodgers
ssYesterday. however ,Newcombe
had the Cards number. The
largest St. Louis crowd of the sea-
son, 32,965 fans, saw the big fel-
low check the Cards on eight hits
He blanked the league leaders
until the ninth when singles by
Ron Northey, Glen Nelson and
Lou Klein plus Duke Snider's
first error of the season allowed
the Cards to score twice. New
combe got Pinch-hitter Bill Baker
to ground out to end the game.
The victory cut the Cards ad-

The only thing hotter than the
recent heat wave has been Eddie
Robinson. Washington's beefy
first baseman has emerged from
an abbreviated slump to surge
back to the ranks of 800 hitters
by compiling a .478 mark over
the span of his last six games.
Eddie's batting mark tumbled to
.291 when he hit .156 over an
eight-game stretch recently, but
he has pulled out of it with II
hits in his last % attempts. Such
swatting has lifted him to .304
and buoyed the Mats hopes of
improving their plight.
Robinson hasn't sacrificed power
in his comeback. for while hitting
safely in his last six games he
has contributed four doubles. a
triple and a homer. That four
baser was delivered yesterday in
the course of Washington's 7-3
conquest of the st. Louis Browns
at Griffith Stadium.
Hudson Goes Route.
While collecting his 18th homer
Eddie was being outsparkled in
