Schmitz used to have an in credible charm over the Dodg ers, beating them in key games, time alter time, when he was with the Cubs. So the Dodgers bought him to put a stop to the nonsense, but things certainly didn't work out any better ior them in his iirst brilliant start for Brooklyn last night. He pitched two-hit ball for seven innings in a duel of lef ties in the Cincinnati Rhine land with big Ken Raffcnsbcr ger, but lost it 2 to 1 when de fensive lapses gave the Reds two cheap runs. Misjudging a drive by Bob Usher, which went for a double In the third inning, Rookie Left Fielder Dick Williams, then played the relay so awkwardly that Bobby Adams scored from first with Cincy's first run. A homer by Roy Campanclla in the fifth tied it up at 1-1, but Raf fensberger himself scored the winning run in the Cincinnati half of the inning. A wild throw by Rocky Brid ges on Raffy's grounder put the piteher on second and he went to third on a passed ball. Usher, who made two of the three hits off Schmitz, flied out to bring In the second run. Raffensber- ger gave up only four hits in winning his sixth game. The Yankees also won a game cheaply) 2 to 1, from the White Sox in New York, cut ting their American league lead to ZVj games, when Hank Bauer blooped a single just past Shortstop Chico Carras quel in the eighth to score the deciding run after Lefty Bill Fierce had walked two batters. Ed Lopat gave up 10 hits but won his 10th game, while Fierce yielded only five and had to settle for his fifth de feat. In other American league games, Cleveland walloped Bos ton, 14 to 8, Washington defeat ed St. Louis, 5 to 1, and the Ath letics won from the Tigers, 5 to 4 after Detroit took the opener, 7 to 2.

Larry Doby also hom ered for Cleveland and Clude Vollmer delivered one for Bos ton as Early Wynn, in a rocking-chair job, coasted to a 15 hit victory. Sid Hudson, laid up with a torn side muscle for the first month of the season, showed he had recovered completely, bv pitching a strong five-hitter over the Browns. Philadelphia made full use of lour hits to win the second game from Detroit. Steve Souchock got the most productive blow off Winner Bobby Shantz, a two-run homer. In the opener, the Tigers picked up three runs in the first inning and that was enough for Freddie Hutchinson, whose shut out was destroyed only when Lou Klein hit a ninth inning two-run homer. Church received brilliant cen ter field help from Richie As- burn, who made one fine catch after another. In winning his seventh game, Church gave up nine hits, while Friend yielded only four in defeat, but two of these came in the sixth when Ashburn bunted safely, went to second on a sacrifice, to third on Granny Hamner's single, and scored when Ralph Kiner's throw the plate was too late after he juggled a drive by Bill Nicholson. Spahn not only pitched five hit ball and struck out eight, but blasted a three-run homer. Munger, registering his third triumph, was given a 3 to 1 mar gin over ex-Cardinal Pitcher Jim Hearn in the first two innings as Stan Musial doubled home a run in the hello inning, then Del Rice's single and a fly by Solly llemus provided the other two in the second.

By PAUL CANE (United Preu Sports Writer) San Francisco, June 21 (U.R) The Oakland Acorns, unobtru sively tiptoeing around the Pa cific Coast league first division, have the slugging potential of a knockout fighter one big punch and the contest is over. Coddled along by their mild mannered manager, Mel Ott, the defending-champion Oaks aren't conceded much chance to make a repeat conquest of the PCL flag this season. They've won more than they've lost and they are only 314 games away from Seat tle's lead. But the baseball sharpies won't pay much at tention to them as pennant material. Yet the Oaks have the kind of a team that can erupt with big innings to win ball games. They got 11 in one frame ear lier this year to wax Portland. And they teed off on Sad Sam Jones last night to score five times in one stanza and defeat San Diego, 5 to 4. Newcomer Lorenzo Cabrer s double was the big blow of the big frame. Sacramento stayed two games off Seattle's pace with a 4 to 3 decision over Los Angeles in 14 panels. The Solons won when Angel shortpatcher Gene Baker cut loose with a wild throw. Elsewhere, Seattle gave a 5 to 0 massage to San Fran cisco, and Hollywood nipped Portland, 4 to 3.
