It is this evil that the Torah

eagerness in an attempt to discover something both Of the

He's on his own except for a
small compensation from a glove
company. He'd like to play the
pro circuit two years, and if he

Knight is not one of the back

the doldrums yesterday with one
of his typical home runs-a
three-run clout that led the
Dodgers to a So victory over the
Redlegs and left them only 4
percentage points behind second
place Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, at the Polo
Grounds, Thomson contributed
his 10th homer and a single in
a Ito Milwaukee victory over
the Giants, Bobby's old team
mates. Only the day before,
Thomson, whose three-run drive
into the stands in a playon
game with Brooklyn won the
1851 pennant for the Giants, had
provided the winning margin for
the Braves with a grand-slam
homer.
AS a result of the days de-
velopments, the Braves now lead
the fading Redlegs by 51a games,
with the Dodgers another half
game back. Yesterdays one
sided triumph was Milwaukee's
fifth straight and the 14th in 16
starts since the All-Star Game.
Since they moved to Milwaukee
from Boston in 1858, the Braves
never have had such a big lead.
There may be some dissenters
among Cincinnati fans, but the
Redlegs looked anything but

straight to the Dodgers, who
will be hosts to the Braves in q

Against Tigers

Star Stan Correspondent

DETROIT. July 27.-Held tc
a total of four runs in their last
four games, the Senators will
attempt to end their latest
plunge in four-game series
with the Tigers starting tonight
But they're going to require more
vigorous action to achieve it.
Jose Valdivielso. who with
Eddie Yost has supplied most OF
the clubs recent hitting, is in
flating his average with .433 bat
ting in his last nine games. but
his prestige among his team
mates has been debated percep-
tibly in the last two Washington
defeats.
Valdy danced nimbly out of
the way of Jim Busby's spikes
in Cleveland Wednesday, ignor-
ing the baseball coming his way
on what should have been a
force play. AS the Senators suf-
fered a 10 defeat by the Indians
yesterday in a game called in
the home seventh because of a
downpour. Valdy's timidity again
was costly.
/ Naldy Costs Club Tie
Jose set UP a SiX-run inning
for the opposition Wednesday
with his polite approach to the
game. Yesterday all that was
required of him was a straight
slide into the plate and the Sen
ators would have escaped with a
tie. The second game of a sched-
uled double-header was washed
out and will be made up on the
clubs last visit to Cleveland in
September.
Valdy was on third with one
out in the third inning when
Chuck StobbS dashed a grounder
of Third Baseman George
Strickland's glove. Valdy scooted
for the plate but Shortstop Chico
Carrasquel quickly retrieved the
ball and fired high to Catcher
Jim Hogan.
Valdwielso made what looked
like a half-hearted effort to
evade Hogan, but missed the
platter by a foot and the
catcher simply reached down
and applied the ball for the out
