DlSIIUING CO., CltKMuM, KT. ,
United Pre International
Milwaukee is back in first place
and Warren Spahn is back on the
track toward winning 20 for the
10th time, so what else is new?
Spahn and the Braves threw
cold water on a lot of pennant
talk around San Francisco when
they beat the Giants, 6 t. Tuesday
night and knocked them out of
first place by one percentage
point.
That one point ordinarily might
not mean too much but the way
both Milwaukee ard the 38-year-old
Spahn have been going lately,
it could turn out to be the turn
ing point in the tight National
League race.
The Braves, apparently over a
near-disastrous mid-July slump,
have won six of their last seven
while Spahn has won four in a
row and 15 for the season. He
held the Giants to three singles
and shut them out until the
ninth.
Five Giant Errors
Losing pitcher Mike McCormick
made two errors in setting the
stage for his own downfall and
his teammates chipped in with
three more. Del Crandall added
a two-run homer foe the Braves.
Cincinnati defeated Los Ange
les, 4-1; Pittsburgh downed St
Louis. 7 3, and Philadelphia shad
ed Chicago, 2-1, in other NL
games.
The Cleveland Indians moved
within two games of first place In
the American League, and hand
ed the Washington Senators their
17th straight defeat, 8-2: the Bal
timore Orioles came from behind
to nip the league-leading Chicago
White Sox, 3-2; Detroit topoed
New York, 4-J. and Kansas City
won the nightcap of a twi - night
twin-bill 8-6, after Boston won the
opener, 4-1.
Southpaw Joe Nuxhall pitched a
three-hitter in leading the Reds
to their fourth straight victory
and dropping the Dodgers into
third place. Nuxhell struck out 10
men and got all the margin he
needed when Vada Pinson socked
his 15th homer with one on in a
three-run third.-
Vem Law won his 12th game
for the Pirates with a seven-hit
effort over the Cardinals. It was
only the third victory in 18 games
for Pittsburgh, Law also having
won the other two.
Roberts Evens Chart
Robin Roberts of the Phillies
evened his season record at 10-10
when he pitched a five hitter to
hand the Cubs their sixth straight
loss. Loser Bob Anderson blanked
Philadelphia until the eighth when
Harry Anderson doubled home
the two runs that won live game.
Tito Francona drove hi four
runs with a triple and a homer in
Cleveland's win over Washington.
Rookie, Jim Perry pitched a six-
hitter for his eighth victory.
The 17 straight losses by the
Senators are only three shy of
the all-time major league record
of 20 consecutive defeats, shared
by three clubs.
Billy Klaus' infield hit with the
bases loaded in the eighth inning
enabled the Orioles to snap a
scven-gi.ne White Sox winning
streak. Left hander Hilly lloeft
pitched the first eight innings for
Baltimore and earned his first
victory since April 18.
Frank Lary of the Tigers boost
ed his lifetime record against the
Yankees to 21-5 in stopping them
on six hits for his nth victory of
the season. It was the fifth

Feud Over
Pitchers
NEW YORK 'l!PI Casey
Stengel countH slowly to 10 to
day to hold his temper anJ then
answered point-by - point Frank
Lane s bitter charges that he had
pulled "a damned dirty trick" the
way he used his pitchers in Mon
day's All-Star game.
' I don't care what he says."
said Stengel when advised 'of the
verbal broadside launched at him
by General Manager Lane of the
Cleveland Indians.
But then, obviously caring quite
a bit bur refusing to lose his
good humor, Stengel pitched into
Lane's charge that there was
something sinister in his use ot
three Baltimore Orioles pitchers
and also in using tired Cal Mc
Lish of the Indians instead of
tired Ryne Duren of the Yankees.
Stengel's answer, boiled down,
is that everybody was tired.
"Ail the managers must have
forgot to mark down the All-Star
game on their calendars," said
Stengel, "because they used six
of the All-Star pitchers on Sun
clay. Why, in order to get a man
to start the game 1 ha i to pick a
guy who wasn't even on the
sjiiad."
Stong'l was referring to his se
lection of rookie pitcher Jerry
Walker on Sunday as replacement
for injured catcher Gus Triaiulos
of the Orioles on the All - Star
squad. In the same breath Stengel
picked Walker on the squad and
named him to start the game in
Los Angeles. Walker emerged the
winning pitcher.
As for using McLish instead of
Duren to relieve in the eighth
inning, Stengel said, "Duren
uould have pitched if he had
shown anything at all when he
warmed up."
Lane denounced Stengel Tues
day in Chicago, saying, "I chal
lenge Stengel to explain why he
used a dog-tired Cal McLUh and
three Baltimore pitchers when bis
own Ryne Duren never left the
bull pen."
Earlier Tuesday, manager Paul
Richards of the Orioles stated that
Stengel's use of three Oriole pitch
ers en Monday Walker, Billy
(J Dell, and Hoyt V.'ilhelm) had
"messed up" his pitchiug plans
for the week.
Stengel took notice of that, too,
when he ohser ed, "I couldn't
have messed up the Orioles too
much I see by the scoreboard
that somebody down there beat
Chicago last night."
Stengel, summed up his pitching
problems in the All-Star game this
way:
They all warmed up, and if
ijjey Thiln't feel good they didnt
I'.j.e to play. They all wanted to
pitch."
