He pitched two-hit ball for
seven innings in a duel of left

defensive lapses gave the Reds
two cneap runs.

Usher, which went for a double in
the third inning, rookie left field
er Dick Williams, then played the
relay so awkwardly that Bobby
Adams scored from ' first with
Clncy's first run. A homer by Roy
Campanella In the fifth tied it up
at 1-1, but Raffensberger himself
scored the winning run in the
Cincinnati half tf the inning.
- A wild throw by Rocky Bridges
on Raffy's grounder put the pitch
er on second and he went to third
on a passed ball. Usher, who made
two of the three hits of Schmitz,
f lied out to bring in the second
run. KariensDerger gave up only
four hits in winning his sixth
game.
The Yankees also won a game
cheaply, 2 to 1, from the White
box In New York, cutting their
American - league lead to 2

single just past shortstop Chico
Carrasquel in the eighth to score
the deciding run after lefty Bill
Pierce had walked two batters. Ed

only five and had to settle for his

Hudson Recovered
Sid Hudson, laid up with a torn

Philadelphia made full use of

from Detroit. Steve Souchock got
the most productive blow off win

Church received brilliant center
