A 9 to 8 victory at Boston gave them the lead for a while yesterday, and though the Bucs regained it later with a S to 2 niahi victory over ihe Cardi- nals, it didn't matter too much to Brooklyniies because their team had been in first, had.i't it? Goodwin Rosen's triple and Howie Schultz' double featured a three-run eighth inning that clinched the Dodgers' seventh straight victory. They made 10 hits, Luis Olmo getting a homer.

The second game ended in a 3-all tie in the 13th, called because of the 1 a. m. curfew. The A's handed Borowy his second defeat of the season against eight wins, ending a string of seven straight for the Yankee ace over Philadelphia.
