Dodgers Defeat
Giants 10 Trail
|ByHaIf-Ganne

BROOKLYN, Sept. 8 (P) Re
lief Pitcher Don Bessent drove
| in the winning run in the eighth
inning and protected it in the
ninth as the Dodgers came from
behind today to defeat the
Giants, 4-3, and climb within a
half game of the league-leading
Braves.
The victory enabled the
Dodgers to pick up a full game
on the Braves, who dropped their
fifth in succession, a 2-1 loss to
the Cubs.
Carl Furillo led of the eighth
with double and took third as
Gil Hodges bounced to second.
After Rube Walker was inten-
tionally passed by Hoyt Wilhelm,
Bessent sent a fly to Willie Mays
in medium center. Mays throw
was wild of the plate. and F'urillo
scored the tie-breaking run.
Gets Side in Order
Bessent then finished up his
two-inning shutout chore by re-
firing the Giants in order in the
ninth to post his third victory
against as many defeats. The
bespectacled Highlander has al
lowed only one run in his last
1878 innings, all in relief. The
winning run was the first score
he had driven in all season.
Trailing 81, the Dodgers
knocked Marv Grissom out in
the seventh. Charlie Neal hit
a pinch triple off the leftfield
wall and scored on Junior Gill
liam's infield out. With two out,
Peewee Reese and Duke Snider
singled to drive Grissom to the
showers. Jackie Robinson greet
ed Wilhelm with a bloop single
behind second. just out of the
reach of the diving Red Schoen-
dienst, Reese crossing the plate
with the tying run.
Spectacular Catch by Mays
Mays. who scored the first
Giant run, drove in the third
score with a single in the fifth.
He also made the defensive play
lof the day with a wall-climbing
catch Of Robinson's bid for extra
bases in the first as Snider was
heading home.
Roger Craig started for the
Dodgers and almost Immediately
fell behind as Mays singled with
two out in the first. stole second
and scored on a single by Jackie
Brandt. Bill Whites homer in
the fourth made it 20, but the
Dodgers came back with a run

cut. yielded his only run in the
second inning, when a pair Of
successive walks got him into
hot water, and weathered a rocky
eighth when Milwaukee loaded
the bases with one out and failed
to count.
The slumping league leaders,
absorbing their second loss to
the Cubs after dropping three
straight at home to Cincinnati,
again proved Manager Fred
Haney's plant that I'VE need
more hits and more runs that's
our trouble"
They left nine runners
stranded as Burdette, trying for
his fourth decision over the
Cubs, suffered his ninth loss
against Is victories.
The Cubs clustered half of
their eight hits of Burdette in
the first inning for their only
two runs.
Don Hoax singled and was
driven to second by Ernie Banks

center scored Hoax. Then Jim
King doubled to score Banks.
Moryn was nailed at the plate
trying to stretch out another
run.
From then on Burdette had
the Cubs battered. holding them
to four singles, whiting four and
walking none.
! But the Braves failed miser-
ABLY to support Burdette at the
plate. They managed their only
run in the second inning when
Drabowsky walked Andy Pafko
and Bill Bruton in succession
and Del Rice singled to right.
The best blow of the game was
a sizzling double down the third
base line by Johnny Logan to
lead of the sixth inning. After
Hank Aaron - who previously
had hit into two side-retiring
double plays-had popped out,
Eddie Mathews drew a walk.
But with men on first and Sec

Adcock and then got Pafko on

Senators PIuy
In Doze; 18th
Hit by Sievers
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Pete
Runnels and Roy Sievers crashed
home runs for the Senators to-
day. but check that leap toward
la hasty conclusion, for the
Yankees seldom have had it
easier. The Bombers amassed 20
hits, including a home run. triple
and double by Hank Bauer, en-
route to 1872 triumph.
Tom Sturdivant, who was re-
placed in the ninth inning by
Bob Turley, presumably because
the latter needed exercise.
breezed to his 14th win as the
Yankees scored more runs than
in any other game this season.
They also tied their high in hits.
having accumulated 20 previously
against the Senators.
Runnels collected three of the
seven Washington hits. adding
a pair of singles to his seventh
homer, while Sievers Dashed his
I27th homer to go one up on Jim
Lemon in the club race for
honorS in that department.
One Scratch for Mantle
Otherwise the Senators lone
achievement consisted of pre-
venting Mickey Mantle from
boosting his home run total.
Mickey scratched an infield hit
but failed to supply a home run
for the seventh straight game,
and his prospects of eclipsing
Babe Ruth's 60-homer record
are getting fainter than a 10
watt bulb.
Lemon struck out three times,
elevating his total to 1870. Five
more whiffs and he'll be the
reluctant possessor of a new
major league record.
The Senators played this one
in a daze, which is understands
BILE since they were groggy from
chasing the varied assortment Of
hits off Camilo Pascual, Dean
Stone, Hal Griggs and Connie
Grob, each of whom was clob-
bered. Pascual got the loss, his
18th.
Slipups Bring Laughs
| Among the laughs provided for
1854 customers was the spec
tacle of Joe Collins scoring on a
missed squeeze play; Herb Plews
| failing to cover first base on a
sacrifice and the same Plews
failing to score when the Yam
KEGS were conceding Washington
run, thereby enveloping the
Senators in a hilarious game
ending double play.
In the seventh inning, when
THE Yankees splattered GriggS
for five runs. Collins was on third
base with Billy Hunter. at bat.
Hunter tried a squeeze and
missed. which was exceedingly
embarrassing to Collins. rushing
toward the plate. However,
Catcher Clint Courtney had eyes
only for Andy Carey on first
base. He threw there, to the en-
ljoyment of everybody. and Col
llins stepped across the plate with
what was identified as a stolen
base.
Plews was on third base and
Tony Roig on second in the
ninth with one out when Court
lney tapped a ball down the third
base line. The Yankees weren't
concerned about Plews, since the
run he would have scored would
have left the Senators Is runs
shy of a tie. Turley lobbed the
ball to first base. Plews, who had
charged toward the plate. unac-
countably reversed his field. This
caught Roig in a predicament.
He was forced to retreat to Sec
ond, but didn't make it.
Streak Is Shattered
| Pascual, who never has
whipped the Yankees, lost the
10th OF his career to them and
the seventh this season as the
Senators three-game winning
streak was terminated emphatic
ally.

Is the District of Columbia Bar

Six weeks ago. on May 8, the
Bar Association desegregated. on
a voice vote led by its hard
working liberal element. The or
ganization's die-hard membership,
led by a group of seven, a month
later asked the District Court to
nullify this voice-vote on the
grounds that it was Illegal, and
that the two-thirds vote required
TO amend the bylaws could not be
shown. Whatever the courts rul-
ing on this, we think that the open
and aggressive fight for desegre-
cation waged by the liberal mem
bers, was worth their effort, a
credit to their group, and a sound
step forward.
Much less can be said for the
District Of Columbia League of
Republican Women, where no
significant effort toward de-
segregation has been discern
able. As stated in this column
