Now Six Full
Games In Lead
Chicago White Sox
Lose Ground As
Tigers Edge Them
Out 8 To 2

NEW YORK, June 28-(Hl.-
The Brooklyn Dodgers once again
extended their National league
lead to six full games by rolling
over the New York Giants. 10 to
4. But at the same time, the Chi
cago White Sox lost ground in
their bid to stay on top of the
American League race.
The Detroit Tigers edged the
White Sox, to q, and trimmed
Chicago's lead over the second
place New York Yankees to a
game and one-half.
The Dodgers used their biggest
weapon, home runs, to beat the
Giants. The recently acquired
Andy Pafko hit a homer with
two on in the fourth and Duke
Snider highlighted. a six-run
Dodger uprising in the sixth with
another three-run blast. In be-
tween, pitcher Don Neweombe
drove in three more runs with a
long fly and a single.
The Giants started Highlander
Jim Hearn and Big Jim did fine
until he wilted in the fourth when
Brooklyn scored four runs. Prior
to that, Hearn had singled in the
first Giant run
In the last of the fourth, rookie
Willie Mays tagged Newcombe
for a two-run homer to keep the
Giants in the game. But after
Snider's clout in the sixth, New
combe was never in trouble as he
scored his 10th triumph against
four setbacks.
In the American League-re-
liefer Virgil Trucks worked him
self out of a big hole in the
seventh and the Tigers went on
to beat the leading Chicago White
Sox, 3 to 2.
Starters Teddy Gray of Detroit
and Saul Rogovin of Chicago
pitched scoreless ball until Chi
cago tailed one in the fifth. But
the Tigers caught up and went
ahead in the seventh With one
down, Detroit combined two
walks, a sacrifice and two singles
to score two runs.
In the last of the seventh, a
walk and error brought in Trucks
who proceeded to load the bases
and then force in the tying run
with another walk. But then
Trucks settled down and got the
side out In the top of the eighth,
two singles, a sacrifice and a long
fly brought in George Kell with
the winning run off reliefer Harry
Dorish.
The Boston Red Sox came from
behind with a three-run seventh
inning TO edge the Philadelphia
Athletics, 6 to 5. Triples by Dom
DiMaggio and Billy Goodman and
singles by Charlie Maxwell and
Ted Williams brought in the three
runs.
Lou Klein and Gus Zernial

The furring strips can be attached

that could be done. If you do not
wish to spend the money on 1t,
you might try filing the grooves
with wood putty.
If the grooves are very deep.
doubt II sanding would suffice
for you would have to take toe

get 1t down to the level Of the

cal to replace the worn boards
which should not cost too much.
