Giants, Braves, Dodgers Win in National Action NEW YORK. May 14—(UP)— Those who insisted that the New York Giants had no pitchers were left wondering yesterday if it was an absense of hitters they were talking about. The Giants are still winning ball games and that is the important thing. But it is the pitchers and not the hitters who are doing the toig work. i, Yesterday, in a 5-0 victory over , the Cardinals at St, Louis, Ray Boat emerged with a fine two-hit ter and the home run punch on the ! Kedbird club didn’t assert itself once. Boat, who was cast aside by the Cleveland Indians as a pitcher who would never make the major league grade, scored his third vic tory against one defeat. He kept the Cardinals hitless after the third inning. The Giants, who did n't come up with any home runs, got 11 hits, three each by YVhitey Lockman and Willard Marshall. Braves Win Wily Willie Voiselle scored his fourth straight victory for the Boston Braves to become the Na tional league’s leading pitcher, top ping the Cubs at Chicago, 2-0 on four hits. Loser Johnny Schmitz, playing in hard luck as usual, also gave up only four hits and lost his fourth game against only one vie tory. Singles by A1 Dark and Rob ert Elliot in the third gave the Braves one of their runs, while in the eighth, a walk to Jim Russle, a wild pitch, and an infield out accounted for the other. Dodgers Tromp Reds The Dogers cashed in on four wild throws which produced as many unearned runs in a sloppily played 9-3 victory over the Reds at Cincinnati. It was the seventh defeat in a row for the Ohioans, and they didn't deserve to win. Don Lund sewed up the game in the opening inning, following one of the wild throws by hitting a three-run homer. Carl Furillo also hit a Dodger homer, and Dewey Williams belted one for the Cubs. El (Preacher) Roe southpawed his way to his first Brooklyn vic tory, going the route and giving The Cleveland at New York, Chi cago at Boston, and Washington at Emerald Classifieds!

(135) IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT A MA M DIED U ' i He had worked late—he was tired—thoughtlessly he walked to the right along the darkened highway. Beyond the turn of the road were the lights of home. A Speeding through'the early darkness, a driver urged his car along, hugging the edge of the road. A dim shape, a sudden sicken ing jolt — and the terrorized driver, his car careening, sped on — around the curve, past the lighted cottage beside the road. And in the still of the night, a man died. These are the ingredients of accidents and death at night. Often the victim contributes to his own death by not walking to the left, facing traffic. But far too many payZwith their lives for,the reckless driving of the hit-and-run car coward.^To him self-preservation is more urgent than the saving of.a.life.? * To his kind let this be a warning. Of all highway and traffic vio lators, the hit-and-run driver, fares worst. Sooner or later, his crime leads to prison and disgrace. -*/ The highways shall be cleared of these auto highwaymen* /
