dead town on Sunday? The
Brooklyn Dodgers think it's gayer
than Paris, louder than Coney
Island and wilder than an Office
Christmas party.
When you score IL runs in an
inning before a man is out, as
the Dodgers did yesterday in the
eighth at Connie Mack Stadium,
no town Is dull. Even Gil Hodges
snapped out Of his batting
slump.
All this muscle flexing gave
the Dodgers a 1872 victory that
still left them in fourth place
in the National League race,
where the spread from first to
fourth is only one ball game.
Milwaukee took over the lead
Saturday and still held a half
game margin after yesterdays
split with Chicago, winning, 5-4
and losing, So. st. Louis ell
bowed into second on Gerry
Staley's five-hit shutout Of Gin
cinnati, 20, and the Giants
belted Pittsburgh, 11-3, to re-
main only ~ games of the
pace.
Sain Leads Yankee Victory.
Johnny Sain's batting and
pitching gave the Yankees
another triumph over Boston.
8-4, and left the champions, still
3l2 games out front. There is
a new second-place team, Cleve-
land. on its double victory over
st. Louis, 5-1 and 9-8. Chicago
remained 31a back in third place,
II percentage points behind
Cleveland, after beating Detroit
for the second day in a row with
ninth-inning squirt, 81. Wash
ington defeated Philadelphia,
6-3.
The big excitement was in
Philadelphia where Umpire
Augie Donatelli had almost as
much exercise as the Phillies'
pitching staff. Augie opened the
day by tossing out Russ Meyer
in the fourth after the hot-tem-
pered Brooklyn pitcher made
violent protest of a pitch call
and beaned himself with the
resin bag. Jim Hughes, who
failed as a relief man for Meyer,
and Billy Loes were chased for
heckling Augie from the bench.
In the eighth inning, while
the world was crashing down
around his ears, Philadelphia
Manager Steve O'Neill and his
catcher. Smokey Burgess, got the
heave-ho from Donatelli.
First 13 Get on Base.
Thirteen Dodgers walked or
hit before an out was made in
the eighth. Twelve runs turned
a neat 80 game into a rout be-
fore five pitchers managed to
retire a batter. It took AZ min
utes to play the half inning, with
Is Dodgers going to bat. g..
Just skimming over the high
spots, triples with the bases
loaded by Pee Wee Reese and
Carl Furillo did the most damage.
Oddly enough, nobody hit a home
run. The flve pitchers in one in
ming tied a major league record.
The IL runs fell short of the mod
ern record of IS set by the Dod-
gers against Cincinnati in the
first inning on May 81, 1852. The
all-time record is Is by the Cubs
in 1883.
Thus in two days the Dodgers
beat both Robin Roberts and
Curt Simmons, the big one-two
punch Of the league. Tonight
they see the third member of the
big three, Karl Drews.
Klippstein Beats Buhl.
Milwaukee started Johnny An
tonelli in the first game and re-
lieved with him in the second,
getting of with a split. The
Braves scored five runs in the
second inning of the opener on
one hit, two walks, two errors
and fly ball to hand Warren
Hacker his seventh loss. The
Cubs have given Hacker a total
of II runs in his seven defeats.
Vern Bickford won on relief.
Johnny Klippstein scattered 10
