BROOKLYN, May 20. - Pete
Reiser came back to haunt his old
mates today, betting q grand-slam
eighth inning homer to give the
Boston Braves a 7-6 triumph over
the Brooklyn Dodgers and undis-
puted possession of first place in
the National League.
Reiser's clout over the score
board in right field climaxed an
uphill battle that saw the Braves
trailing, 60. after four innings.
Don Newcombe, Negro right
handler who shut out Cincinnati
In his major league start last Sun
day, started for the Dodgers and
was cruising along in fine style
until he was batted out in the
seventh.
Newcombe yielded two runs in
the fifth on a walk and Elbie
Fletcher's first home run of the
year. Fletcher started Newcombe's
departure in the seventh when he
led off with double.
Newcombe made ReiSer his
seventh strikeout victim, but Bob
Elliott followed with a single and
Jim Russell with a double to rout
Newcombe in favor of Morris Mar
tin.

Clint Conaster and got AL Dark
to line out to end the frame, but
the Braves got to Martin In the
eighth.
Pinch-hitter Phil Mast and Con-
ME Ryan singled to start the
Braves eighth and Martin was re-
lieved by Erv Palica. Palica got
Ed Stanky to foul out, but passed
Fletcher to load the sacks. Reiser
worked the count to 3 and and
then cleared the score board.
Vern Bickford started for Bos-
ton, but was yanked out in the
first in favor of Rookie Bob Hall
when the Dodgers scored three
runs on Peewee Reese's homer, q
single and four walks

What's happened to the other
big names in strip-tease?
Fans might be surprised to know
how many have become house.

can really cook.
Others have turned to Holly

Ada Leonard quit stripping long

stage and living with her widowed
mother here.
Gypsy Rose Lee drifted grace

Georgia Southern, on the other
hand, is broke. She told a New

Ann Corio turned to films and
the stage.
When she turns 40, Ann will
start collecting $100 week from

while she was taking EN- off before
the war.

Kansas girl who always said she
stripped to support her farm, is
married to a Hollywood writer. She
appeared here last with clothes on
