they were still breathing in the
American League race" closing
within nine games of New York
as Early Wynn's three-hitter
ended the Yankees winning
streak at six games, SO.
Detroit smacked Boston, ga
behind Frank Lary's four hitter.
Baltimore stayed in a birthplace
tie with the Tigers by defeating
Kansas City, Sd. Washington
beat the White Sox, 4-3, on a
wild pitch.
Robinson had been out of the
IDodger lineup for 16 games be-
cause of a pulled groin muscle.
He got three hits in four trips
and appears certain to play third
again tonight.
Adcock smacked his oath home
run in the second inning off Carl
Erskine, but Jackie did him one
better with a two-run poke. his
Eighth. in the same inning against
Gene Conley. That's the way it
stood until the ninth, when with
one out, Ed Mathews hit his goth
homer to tie it.
Hank Aaron followed with a
double and Erskine gave way to
Glen Labine. Adcock was walked
Intentionally, but Bobby Thorn
son got a scratch single that
loaded the bases. Logan then
grounded to Robinson, who threw
to the plate to force Aaron and
Adcock Numbered on home.
Expected Play at First
II thought Rube was going to
throw to first to try to get Logan
and complete the double play
that way" Adcock said. why
he didn't, I don't know. But he
didn't and I guess I fouled up
the game.
Il saw him draw back as if
to throw and I set sail. When
he stopped and turned toward
me, I was a dead duck"
Manager Fred Haney of the
Braves, coaching at third base,
said Adcock ran on his own.
Il certainly didn't know he
was going. He ran right through
my sign. I looked up and he was
running right into the tag"
Haney said.
The Dodgers were agreeably
surprised at Adcock's play, since
they felt Walker would have had
no play on Logan had he at
tempted a throw to first.
Robinson said his throw to
Walker on Logan's grounder
was wide and pulled Rube off
balance" multiplying any chance
for a double play.
Il didn't see Adcock, but for
tunately Reese did" Robinson
added. "He yelled to Rube."
Maglie Opposes Burdette
Manager Walt Aston plans
to stick with his previously an
nounced pitching rotation, with
Sal Maglie (4-3 going tonight
back in Ebbets Field in search
of his Tooth major league vic
tory, and Don Newcombe d5-5)
working Thursday afternoon.
Lew Burdette (12-5) will op-
pose Maglie, with Ray Crone
working for the Braves in the
windup game.
With the series squared, the
Dodgers remain in a position to
take the three-out-of-four they
decided was a must" before it
began.
The Redlegs missed rich OPP
portunity by splitting with the
Giants. With Ted Kluszewski
sidelined by q groin injury, they
got only five hits as Rookie Joe
Margoneri gained his first major
League complete game in the
opener. Art Fowler lost his 10th,
giving up three singles and a
wild pitch for two runs that
Iclinched it in the third inning.

The Cardinals scored three in
the first off Red Munger, getting
two on Rip Repulski's single,
then wrapped it up with four in
the fourth. The Pirates used
Infielders Eddie and johnny
OBrien on the mound over the

up just one hit.
Irwin made it easy for the
Cubs with single and double
