pills COME
TO LIFE In
NAT. LEAGUE
BY JOE REICHLER

They laughed when the Phila-
deiphia frclt office announced in
dead seriousness this spring that
the once futile, forlorn Phillies
hereafter would be known as the
"fightin' Phi,l.cs.'
They're net laughing any more.
The rival National League clubs
simply fail to see anything funny
about a team that just got through
knocking off the Brooklyn Dodgers
three times in as many days IN
their own backyard. Lest we for
get, the Dodgers were generally
rated as the club to beat for the
flag.
Yesterdays Az victory over the
Dodgers boosted the Pills out OF
the league cellar, IL percentage
points above the Chicago Cubs.
They now have a won-lost record
of 6-8, are only half game out
OF the first division arc three
games behind the front running
Boston Braves.
BRAVES TOP OF HEAP
The Braves moved into undis-
puted first place in the National,
winning both ends of a double
header from the New York Giants,
6-5 and Az, before 33,402 home
town rooters. Sibby Sisti's ninth
inning pinch single in the opener
with the bases loaded drove in the
tying and winning runs.
Johnny Antonelli, Boston's high
priced 19-year-old bonus southpaw,
with his first big league game in
his first major league start in the
nightcap. He allowed six hits.
Harry cThe Cat Brecheen and
Stan Musial teamed up to give the
St. Louis Cardinals an 8-3 triumph
over the Cuts. Brecheen spread out
10 hits for his second victory.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati di-
cided a double header, the Pirates
winning the opener, 1914; and the
Reds taking the second game So
RED SOx ACTION
The Boston Red Sox, after two
straight beatings by the New York
Yankees, finally came to life
blasting Allie Reynolds and Frank
Shea for IA hits and an 11-2
triumph Johnny Pesky, Vern
Stephens and Ted Williams wal
loped home runs for the winners.
Bob Lemon pitched two-hitter
for Cleveland, but bowed to Det-
roit's Hal Newhouser, 80, on Dick
Wakefield's three-run homer in the
first inning.
The P hila d e phia Athletics
smashed out two more victories
over the hapless Washington Sena-
tors, 1879 and 7-3, with the second
game halted after seven innings
',ecause of the Pennsylvania curfew
aW.
Outfielder Elmer Valo paced the
first game attack with pair OF
triples, each with the bases loaded.
The Chicago White Sox whipped
the Browns twice in St Louis, To
and 14-1l, to make it seven in a
row over the Browns this season.
