When it comes to their hus-

ton. Not only has she whole

Boston and Brooklyn settled for

bled around at a As pace. It
was a terrific break for Durocher's
Giants, who might have been dis
tanced if the form held up.
The Giants comeback was ex-
pected. By winning Of II .(8-2
against the West) they almost
wiped out the memory of their
horrible start.
Capt. Dark took matters into
his own hands while the West
visited the Polo Grounds. Twice
he had four hits. He hammered
two grand-Slam homers and he
drove in IA runs in the last nine
games. Meanwhile, his buddy,
Eddie Stanky. continued to get on
base every game with a hit or
