Most Braves Now Think
Pirates Can Make Top4

MILWAUKEE,, June 4 (R.-
The Pirates made believers out
of many belittlers here over the
week end. Most Of the Braves
players now figure the high
riding Buccos could wind up in
the first division. No pennant,
mind you, but first division.
Before the Pirates staggered
into town, snatched three VIC
tories in four starts, muff1ed the
braves home-run bats and even
dislodged Milwaukee from first
place for more than two hours
yesterday, most of Charlie
Grimm's men didn't think too
highly Of them.
But, today
They have a chance for the
first DIVISION" Del Crandall said
after the teams split a double
header. The Pirates took the
opener, 81. and went into first
place for the first time in eight
years, but the Braves won the
nightcap, 4-3, and regained the
lead by six percentage points
"You can't sell a club short
that gets a start like they have
and plays the way they do
Crandall added.
Right now" Bobby Thomson
said, you've got to consider
them for the first division. With
the pitching they've been getting
from Bob Friend and Ron Kline
they're tough, and not only or
U.S."
= Henry Aaron, Billy Bruton,
johnny Logan. and Dave Jolly
nodded in agreement. They're
definitely a first-division club, y
jolly said.
If their pitching flops, they're
back in the second division, >
Warren. SPAIN declared.
They're playing way. way
over their heads" Eddie Mathews
said.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-The SIS

The Senators are back in the
basement, but they can glimpse
some light in their gloomy sur
roundings. Their pitching
chiefly responsible for the
plunge. has taken on a brighter
hue, with Bob Wiesler and Hal
GriggS turning in route-going
victories In the current series
with the Indians.
Pedro Ramos, who was hurting
lcreditably in his last outing
against the Yankees until Mickey
Mantle unloaded a memorable
homer of him, will try to stake
the Washington club to the de.
cisive win of the five-game sci
tonight. He'll be opposed by
Mike Garcia.
Griggs, with the aid of con-
siderable shoddy fielding by the
Indians. enabled the Senator's to
split a double-header yesterday
at Griffith Stadium before a
crowd of 1877. Vic Wertz
crashed a three-run homer in the
18th inning of the opener as
Cleveland won, 8-4. but Griggs
held the Indians to eight hits
