Robinson Homers Twice

NEW YORK, May 81 R.-
Eddie Robinson's two home runs
helped lift the Yankees into first
place today as Rookie Johnny
Kucks downed Baltimore, ga, by
scattering II hits. Cleveland's
defeat by Detroit knocked the
Indians out of the league lead
fo" the first time this month.
Robinson hit both homers of
the veteran Jim Wilson, connect
ing with Yogi Berra rand Irv
Noren on base in the first in
ming and with the bases empty
in the fifth. Berra also came
through with his fifth homer of
Wilson in the fifth with Mickey
Mantle on base.
After the Yanks climbed on
Wilson for four runs in the first
and two in the second, Kucks'
staying ability became the most
important factor. The 21-year-
old righthander hadn't gone the
route in his previous starts.
Although Kucks wavered from
time to time. particularly in the
ninth when Pinch-Hitter Gus
Triandos singled and Cal Abrams
doubled, he managed to survive.
It was an important test for the
EXCL who could become STEM
gle's No. 4 starter.
Baltimore picked up two in the
fourth on a walk. Gene Wood

st. Vincent is the patron saint

for they made him the 11-to-10

$3.50 across the board. Kaster
returned $3.50 and $3.50, while a
