Sweep and Big
Gain on Dodgers

Milwaukee's pennant-hungry
Braves, their pitching staff hurt
ing with ace Bob Buhl on the
sidelines, open five fateful days
in the pressure-p packed National
League race tonight with their
second twi-night double-header
in "a hours.
The Braves, who haven't
grabbed the brass ring since
1913, have only a two-game
cushion as they take on the
Cardinals again at County Sta
Idium tonight, then dive into a
four-game series with the press
ing third-place Redlegs.
The fourth-place Cardinals
split a twi-night pair with the
Braves last night, winning, 80,

humping. A sweep would have
eased Milwaukee'S situation con.

Dodgers were dumped, 8-5, by
Pittsburgh. The Redlegs belted

Mantle Slugs 38th
In the American League.
Mickey Mantle slugged his 38th
home run-his best one-season
total in the majors-as the
Yankees hammered Washing

White Sox, 7-6, on Sherm Lol-

P|eWs' Hot PLAY
IS Ec|ipsed by
Yankee Power
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Rookie Herb Plews of the Sem
ators is the hottest thing since
Sterno with his .450 hitting in
II games. Although he's behav-
ing like a hero, there are too
many scene-stealerS on stage
while the Yankees are in town.
The spry second baseman, a
former Yankee farmland, is
ADEPT afield, has plenty of dash
and gets astonishing results with
Ia bat in his hands, but he could
not offset the destructiveness of
the Yankees last night as they
crushed the Senators, 1872, be-
fore a crowd of 1882.
Plews was in the starting line
up for the first time before a
home crowd. He ripped off three
straight doubles and later added
IA single. He was guilty of
heads-down running on one oc-
casion when he attempted to
stretch a double, but he erred on
the side of aggressiveness and
few find fault with that approach
to the game.
Six Straight Hits
Herb had a string of six sue
cessive hits until Bob Turley
finally disposed of him on a fly
to ElSton Howard in left in the
seventh. He's a .316 hitter now
ia spectacular rise from his .l67
batting of two weeks ago.
Plews has frightened the SEN
Iators' outlook considerably, but
1T was difficult to discover any,
thing else particularly exciting
about the club last night.
Mickey Mantle promptly took
over the spotlight in the first
inning after Norm Siebern had
singled off Camilo Pascual
Mickey lofted his 18th homer
into the new leftfeld seats

Elter Goes 40 Yards
Held in check most of the
night. the West got its 3 points
on Hal Norris 12-yard field goal
with 2 minutes and so seconds
left to play. Less than a minute
later, Quarterback AL Dorow of
the East, finding his receivers
covered on an intended long
pass. tossed the ball in the fiat
to Leo Filter, who picked up a
covey of blockers and rambled
40 yards for the winning touch
down.
Norris kick was set up by
Scooter Scudero and Leon Heath
Scudero. who had brief en-
counter with Art DeCarlo before
the session ended, travelled %
yards with punt to the East's
81. At that point Leon Heath,
back with the team after two
years in the Army, struck
through center for "a yards and
then for six more to the 7-yard
line.
The East. with Ron Marciniak,
Jim Norman, Chef Ostrowski and
Ron Zatkoff doing yeoman duty
braced and held at that point
and Norris dropped back to the
IL to kick the goal.
DOrOw Frustrated
Good as was that display OF
defensive strength, the West
made an even better stand near
the end of the first half, hurting
back Dorow four times from in
side the 4-yard line. Three times
Dorow tried quarterback sneak
from the 1-foot line, and three
times Volney Peters, j. D. Kim
mel, young Bill Fulcher from
Georgia Tech, Norris and Tavern
Torgeson threw him back.
Dorow, who was shaken up and
left the game briefly in the third
quarter, completed 10 of his Is
passes for lac yards and the
touchdown to Filter. Leo got one
great block from Vic Janowicz
and made the best Of a bad situa-
ton to complete his scoring
journey.
Rookie Don Bailey from Penn
State completed only four of his
10 passes for AZ yards for the
West, and spent a lot of the eve
ming trying to escape from
Ostrowski, Zatkoff and John
Miller.
Norb Hecker, who had a field
goal try from the 11-yard line
blocked by Roy Barni, was one
of Bailey's chief tormentors, in
tercepting three passes. Most of
the time the youngster was un-
able to get set and pick out a
target before the defense was
on him. Several times he was
nailed behind the line and the
passes he did get away were well
covered.

Maryland's football players
went back to the lineman-back
combination for leaders last
night when they elected Gene

halfback, as 1857 co-captains.
The election, made at the an.

Alderton, who earlier in the
evening had been informed he
made the All-Atlantic Coast
