The Giants won a 13-inning struggle in Cincinnati 2-1 and Brooklyn lost in 10 innings in Chicago 3-2. St. Louis defeated Philadelphia 4-3 in the only other National League action. Milwau kee and Pittsburgh were not scheduled. Other results in the American League included a 9-1 triumph by Washington over Baltimore and two more losses by the Philadel phia Athletics, their 9th and 10th in a row, this time to Detroit 12 0 and 4-3. The Giants and Dodgers' games both were decided on errors. In Cincinati, the New Yorkers pushed across the winning run in the 13th on a single by Bobby Hofman followed by two misplays and a sacrifice fly by Whitey Lockman. Gene Baker scored the winning run for Chicago against Brooklyn by scampering home from second base when pitcher Jim Hughes dropped an easy toss at first base that should have been the third out. Johnny Antonelli stayed all the way for the Giants in winning his J4th game against two losses. The only run aginst him was a homer by Ted Kluszewski. HADDIX WINS Harvey Haddix of Ihe Cards joined him as a 14-game winner after beating the Phils but Haddix needed ninth-inning help from Gerry Staley. Four hits climaxed by a triple by Bay Jablonski pro duced all of the St. Louis runs in the first inning. The Yankees pinned the fifth loss on Bob Keegan although they were oulhit 8-7. Fine fielding which included three double plays helped Whitey Ford to his ninth success. Detroit scored Detroit 12-4, Philadelphia 0-3 Cleveland 5, Boston 5 New York 4, Chicago 1 WIL W L Pel.

Turley Gives Fox Credit For Control DETROIT 11 Bob Turley, the Baltimore Oriole pitcher who be gan the season with raves as the new American League strikeout king, reported Saturday he has found out what's wrong with his control, which lately has him walking twice as many as he's fanning. The big 23-year-old right hander credits Howie Fox, a fel low moundsman who is from Thurston, Ore., with spotting his trouble. "If you've noticed," said the speedballer, "most all of my wild pitches have been outside to a right hand batter, and sometimes high. "Howie told me to try stand ing on the left side of the rub nine runs in l t-i i -f .i, :k t , j i i 01 ."1C nm fiame and darned if it didn't work.

With the ace of the staff, Lino Donoso, hospitalized, and Fred Stroble recently optioned, the Star hurlers apparently feel it necessary to go the route in every game. No relief was neces sary Tuesday night as Mell Queen and Roger Bowman tossed a pair of five-hitters. The Stars won the opening game against Ihe Seals, 5-2, and the windup, 23 11-0. jjgl'i Bobby Spicer, Ihe little Los 2914 Angeles pitcher who throws just about every pitch in tne dook, was in rare form as he held Oak land to five hits and scored his third shutout of the season. The Angels won, 3-0. Although Oakland couldn't dent the plate, a tipsy feminine fan succeeded right after the fi nal out. She vaulted onto the playing field, circled the bases in eccentric fashion, and then did a slide into home plate In a cloud of dust just as the lights on the field went out. A male fan, apparently in pursuit, also tried to circle the sacks but trip ped at third and then vanished for refueling. Rain washed out two games, Sacramento at Portland and San Diego at Seattle. There will be a double bill Wednesday night in Seattle. Linescores: R H E Oakland . 000 000 000 0 5 1 Los Angeles . . 300 000 OOx 3 3 0 Scalloek. Atkins (1), White- 8 and Davis; Spicer and Pramesa.

' Wednesday. REPORT ALL FIRES.' 4m Stanky Suspended, Vows to Improve ST. LOUIS, Mo. (IB A chas tened Eddie Stanky accepted a five-day suspension Wednesday as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals with a promise to turn over a new leaf. Slanky and his club lost on all fronts Tuesday when Nation al League President Warren Giles disallowed their protest of Sunday's forfeited game with the Philadelphia Phillies. Giles, who added a $100 fine lo Slanky's penalty for delaying Ihe game, also suspended Car dinal Catcher Sal Yvars and Phillies Firstbaseman Earl Tor geson Yvars for three days and Torgeson for two. It was Yvars and Torgeson who touched off a free-for-all fight between the learns by squaring off at home plate. Police had to break up the fracas which followed. Shortly thereafler, when Stanky went to the mound to relieve Pitcher Cot Deal, Plate Umpire Babe Pinelli awarded the game lo the Phils because of Cardinal "stalling." Stanky read a stalement which amounted to a public apology for his conduct on the field. "I called this press confer ence," he said, "because of the impression I received Sunday when I heard Ihe SI. Louis peo ple applaud Plnelll's decision lo forfeit the game to Ihe Phillies." Slanky's voice was choked wilh emotion as he declared that he was "proud of my char acter off Ihe field." "I am aware of the booing here in St. Louis," he said. "As a player, I was' booed quite frequently. I always took the atlitude the hell with il and I am out here to win ball games. Since becoming a man ager in 1952, my wife, Dickie, and very close friends have been (tying lo knock into my head that there is a difference. "I know in my heart indirect ly that I have embarrassed and hurt the St. Louis people, base ball nationally, my reputation as a baseball man of which I have been very proud and Gus sie Busch and the Cardinals front office which has stayed with me under great pressure, of which I am aware.
