By Bali; Will Be
Out Of action
For Fe'O Days
BY BEN PHLEoAR
AP Sports Writer


Seven magic days have given
the Milwaukee Braves undisputed
possession Of first place In the
National League.
Only week ago they were sixth.
Suddenly everything started com.
ing their way. They won seven
straight. And whep they took the
night off last night, the lowly
Pittsburgh Pirates rose up and
toppled Brooklyn So, knocking the
Dodgers down to second position.
For the Braves it was a week
managers like to dream about. An
ailing pitcher found himself. A
rookie pitched a complete game
in his first start. One game was
won with five runs in the ninth,
another with four in the ninth and
still another in extra innings.
Chef Nichols, the young left
handler fresh from the Army who
was supposed to take up the slack
left by the trades of Johnny Anto-
nelli and Max Surkont, pulled his
record above the 500 mark with
two good triumphs. He's now 4-3
after losing his first three.
Ray Crone, making the big jump
from Jacksonville of the Class A
Sally League, chalked up q TO-
inning victory Sunday.
In winning a double-header Sat-
urday the Braves scored four runs
against Chicago in the final inning
Of the first game and five in the
ninth in the 'nightcap.'
But the winning streak alone -
longest of the season in the Nation
al League - wasn't quite enough
to put the Braves on top by them
selves. They were tied with Brook
lyn after Sundays twin bills. Then
Pittsburgh obliged.
The Pirates decision over Brook
lyn was one of the four games
played last night. In the others
Chicago defeated st. Louis 6-2, the
New York Giants edged the Phil
adelphia Phillies "a and the New
York Yankees whipped the Phil
adelphia Athletics 7-3.
Pittsburgh had lost six in a row
and eight out of nine to Brooklyn
this season. But last night a two.
run homer by Frank Thomas and
a bases-empty blast by Dick Cole
gave Surkont the margin he needed
to win his fourth game.
The veteran highlander al
lowed just four hits and was in
trouble only in the seventh when
the Dodgers combined hunt, a
walk and q single by DON Hoax
with two infield outs to score both
their runs. Carl Erskine, Brook
lyn's biggest winner last season,
suffered his fourth loss against
four victories.
Jim Davis, q rookie left-hander
up from Seattle. held the Cardin-
ais to seven scattered singles in
his first big league starting as
signment. Stan Musial went hitless
and Ray Jahlonski, the leagues
leading hitter, managed only one
hit in four times at bat.
Vic Raschi started for the Car
dinals but gave up after one In
ming when he was hit on the right
ruptured blood vessel, but appar.
leg by line drive. He suffered
entity no lasting damage. He is ex-
pected back In action in q few
days.
Willie Mays drove in four Of the
Giants five runs at Philadelphia.
He hit two home runs, one with a
man on base, and a single that
drove in run. Hoyt wilhelm, who
took over from Sal Maglie, picked
up his second victory.
The Athletics fell into last place
az they bowed on three hits to
rookie Bob Grim of the Yankees.

Opening the club face is one of
the big banes of the average club
golfer.
II he would concentrate on TAX
ing the club face back square for

Then he could let the club take its
normal course.
Doing this would improve one of
every two golfers playing today.
On the short wedge shots the

The square face on wood shots
and the open face on wedge shots
are two things that should help

(Continued From First Page.)
Mr.. Grimes and Mr.. Roose had
flown from Minneapolis to De-
troit today to test a new Chryslel
car on the Chrysler proving
grounds. Mr.. Shaw flew the
plane to Detroit.
The plane left Ann Arbor Air
port at 4 pm.
State police said it exploded
on striking the ground on the
farm of Homer Ginter, near
Peterson. five miles southwest of
Decatur and 20 miles south of
Fort Wayne.
Mr., Shaw won the big race al
Indianapolis in 1887. 1899 and
1910. World War II ended his
career as a driver, but when An

Ind. bought the big 21a mile
track at the west edge of In
dianapolis in 1945 he gave Mr.
Shaw the job of running it.
The track was full of holes
and the grandstand was going
to pieces. Cynics said auto rae
ing was an anachronism in a day
of supersonic air speeds. But
under Mr.. Shaw's direction the
Memorial Day event doomed
again, drawing crowds estimated
at more than 100000.

an uproar yesterday by the dis

that the whole question might
be ironed out Monday by COM

to resume.
Defense Plans Move.
Meanwhile, Defense Attorney
William J.. Corrigan said he
would base part of his defense
on couple who saw the late
movie and ate the late snack.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
