Leo Durocher's high flying
Giants. fresh from three straight
victories over the Dodgers, were
reminded yesterday that pennants
are not won by Memorial Day.
The Phillies halted New York S
seven-game winning streak. scram-
bling to a 6-5 victory behind Karl
Drews. Coupled with Brooklyn's
7-3 decision over Boston. the de-
feat chopped the Giants league
lead to only a game and a half.
Two runs in the ninth almost
pulled it out for the Giants but
Ken Heintzelman finally came in
to stop them. Relief Pitcher Hoyt
Wilhelm suffered the loss. his first
in five decisions. Smoky Burgess
two-run single with the bases
loaded in the seventh clinched the
game for the Phils.
Dodgers Celebrate Escape.
Brooklyn celebrated its escape
from Giant pitching. swapping a
three-game losing streak, with a
barrage Of home runs off Max
Surkont and Lew Burdette. Andy
Pafko. Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee
Reese and Gil Hodges all hom-
cred in the 11-hit attack. Chris
Van Cuyk needed help from Joe
Black to hold his fourth win.
Black pitched fine one-hit ball
through the last four innings.
Ralph Kiner's fifth homer and
Murry Dickson's pitching reversed
Pittsburgh's backward motion to
whip Cincinnati, AZ. Dickson
held the Reds to four hits and
Kiner, walked purposely three
times by Harry Perkowski, hit a
two-run homer in the seventh. It
was the second win for Dickson
who has lost seven. He didn't
allow a hit until the fifth and
had a one-hitter going to the
eighth when Roy Mcmillan hit
his fifth homer.
Erratic Maury McDermott took
the spotlight in the American
League with his one-hit, 10 vic
tory over Washington.

PorterfieId Victimized

Pitches One-Hitter
By Burton Howkins

BOSTON. May 30.--After six
weeks Of the baseball campaign
the Mats are in third place only
three games off the pace. They
have been called real first-division
threats and some optimists are
talking pennant. That doesn't ap-
pear far-fetched according to the
current standings. but you can't
prove it by the hitting.
The Mats have accumulated
three hits in their last 18 innings
and one hit and no runs in IA.
They've scored % runs in IA
games. They've hit six balls out
of the infleld in IA innings.
They're hitless in their last five
innings. All of which is enough
to have them wondering about
themselves.
A victim of Mickey McDerinott's
1-hit pitching last night as the
Red Sox beat Bob Porterfield, 10,
the Mats had been held to two hits
by the Yankees Allie Reynolds in
their last game. Reynolds didn't
give the Mats a hit in the last five
innings and neither did McDer.

Porterfield linked.
Porterfield particularly is panied
by the Mats feeble attack. He
has been a 80 loser to Mel Par
nell of Boston. a 10 loser to the
no-hitter fired by Virgil Trucks Of
Detroit and last night the Mats
again failed to stir up a run for
him.
The Mats can find some solace
in regarding the standings this
time last year, when they were in
sixth place 1012 games out of the
lead. but unless they start pro-
ducing runs they'll fade fast and
tumble to their customary second
division berth.

Wards smashing victory over

The North Carolinian won five

McHale Lacks Driver.
McHale was handicapped by
lack Of q driver. Instead of his

mistake q practice driver which
weighs almost two pounds and is
not suited for tournament play.
The rules forbid him to change
clubs during q round.
Ward. however, played remark
able golf. He made a beautiful
recovery from q trap to win the
fifth, got a birdie 8 on the sixth,
won the seventh and eighth by
sinking long puts and then took

Hale three-putted.

McHale was heartsick over his
costly mental lapse. On the first

Eisenhower Drive

Stor Sioff Correspondent

BALTIMORE. Aug. Gov
McKeldin, who nominated Gen
Eisenhower at the Republican
National Convention. today wrote
the candidate asking him not tt
scale down his campaign plans tt
stump the South.
The appeal came as a result Of
recent news stories stating the
general would curtail his origina,
plans to make heavy play fo1
votes south of the Mason Dixon
Line. Eisenhower managers were
reported as saying the presidential
candidate now may make only two
major speeches in Southern States
due to new circumstances"
The circumstances were not
elaborated upon but some of the
original Eisenhower supporters
have viewed with alarm the recent
display of amity between the
candidate and pre-convention sup
porters Of Senator Taft of Ohio.
The alarmists fear that the earlier
bitterness has not completely dis
solved in the Taft camp.
Prospects Held Good.
In his letter today, the Mary
land Governor wrote.
Il sincerely hope that there will
be no substantial altering of your

Confer With Dulles on
Foreign Policy Attack
By the Associoted Press

DENVER, Aug. 8.-Gen. Eisen-
hover, his running mate, Senator
Nixon, and John Foster Dulles, in
ternational affairs specialist, get
together today to organize a cam
paign attack on the Democrats
handling of foreign policy.
Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Nixon scheduled a luncheon meet
ing with Mr.. Dulles, chief author
of the foreign policy plank of the
G. o. P. platform.
The conference was bringing
Senator Nixon in from the West
Coast and Mr.. Dulles from the
East for the first intensive study
OF foreign policy aspects of the
campaign since the G. o. P. stand
ard bearers were chosen.
Campaign Decision Due.
Out of the session is likely to
come a decision on the extent to
which Gen. Eisenhower will strike
out against the Truman admins
tration in that field. AS European
defense commander until last
June l, he had a hand in develop
ment of the North Atlantic col
lective security program spon-
Sored by the administration.
The general has indorsed the
aims of that program, but Mr..
Dulles-after the foreign policy
plank had been drafted last
month-reported him in complete
accord with the platforms sharp
criticism of many phases of the
Democrats handling of interna-
tional affairs.
In the plank the Republicans
charge, for example, that "the
leaders Of the administration in
power lost the peace so dearly
earned by World War H."
Korea Decision Scored.
And the platform preamble says
the administration plunged us
into war in Korea without the
consent of our citizens through
their authorized representatives
in the Congress, and have car
ried on that war without will to
victory"
Gen. Eisenhower has yet to say
publicly whether he supports
President Truman's decision which
sent United States troops into
Korea without prior approval by
Congress.
