The Brooklyn Dodgers got along
without Roy Campanella, but all
hands are glad the husky catcher
is back in action even if he isn't
exactly ship shape.
MY hand still hurts a little
when ! CATCH" Campanella said
today, 'but I can swing a bat"
That's the understatement Of
the year. Dutch Hitler of Gin
cinnati and Karl Drews of Phila-
delphia can sadly testify that the
National Leagues most valuable
player Of 1851 has lost none of his
power due to his enforced absence.
Campanella sat out three games
because of bruised left hand. He
returned to. action Thursday and
rocked Hitler for a three-run
homer.
Hits Pair of Homers.

destructive work last night against
Drews and the Phils. He drove
in all of Brooklyn's runs in a 81
victory with pair of home runs.
Campanella clouted the Tooth
homer of his career with the bases
empty in the second inning and
followed up with a game-winning
grand-slam blast in the third to
insure the Dodgers seventh
straight triumph.
Ben Wade. 29-year-old rookie
righthander, went all the way for
Brooklyn and spaced nine hits to
hang up his third triumph.
The victory also enabled the
Dodgers to protect their half
game lead over the runner-up New
York Giants. Sal Maglie recorded
his eighth victory without loss
for the Giants as he turned back
the Boston Braves, 5-3.
Sal Has Bad Moments.
Maglie staggered bit in the
first three innings and in the
ninth but from the fourth to the
last frame he allowed only one hit.
The Giants scored all of their
runs in the fourth inning against
hefty Max Surkont. They collect
ed five of their seven hits in that
frame. A two-run homer by AL
Dark climaxed the uprising and
provided the Giants with their
margin of victory.
Maglie permitted eight hits. in
cluding three in the first three
innings and three in the ninth.
Ebba St. Claire cracked a two
run homer in the ninth with one
out. Rookie Bob Thorpe followed
with a single but Maglie got
Pinch-hitter Earl TorgeSon to
ground into a game lending double
play.
The Giants ace has beaten
every club in the league with the
exception of Chicago, which he
hasn't faced.
Veteran Ken Raffensberger, sup
ported by youngsters Wally Post
and Roy Mcmillan. gained his
third victory of the season over
st. Louis as Cincinnati shaded
the Cards, 81. Post and Mcmillan
homered off Harry Brecheen to
account for Cincinnati's runs.
Pirates Finally Win.
Last-place Pittsburgh edged the
Chicago Cubs, 6-5. in 13 innings
to snap an eight-game losing
streak. Gus Bell and Johnny
Merson doubled back to back with
one out. in the 18th to break up
the game. Ted Wilks was the
winner and Warren Hacker the
loser.
All American League games also
were played at night. Pace-setting
Cleveland downed st. Louis, 6-3,
and Detroit swamped Chicago.
90. The other clubs were idle.
Big Mike Garcia, with help in
the eighth from Bob Lemon.

cleveland. Garcia blanked the
Browns on two hits until the
eighth when he weakened and
allowed two hits and three walks.

loaded and doused the fire. The
Indians whacked Ned Carver for
eight hits including four doubles,
a triple and AL Rosen's ninth
homer of the season.
The Tigers pounded former
teammates, Saul Rogovin and Lou
lKretlow, for IA safeties at Chi
icago. Johnny Lipon was the ring
leader, batting in five runs on a
single and double. The Tigers
snapped % tie with four runs
