Rarely, If ever, have 'wo players from one team overpowered a dub the way Buhl and Adcock have done against Brooklyn this AMERICAN LEAGUE WLPct. WLFtM.

For Buhl, this complete domination of the Dodgers is something new but it is old hat to Adcock, who has hit 25 of his 100 big league home runs against Dodger pitching. Buhl was only 3-5 against the Dodgers before this season. The pair combined their talents last night to lift Milwaukee to within three percentage points of first place as the Braves shut out the Dodgers 2-0 and the leaeue- leading Cincinnati Redlegs were beaten 7-4 by the Philadelphia Phillies. Rain postponed the sec ond game of the scheduled twi night double-header and it will be played as part of a twi-nightcr in Milwaukee tonight. ' Pirates Gain Fourth Buhl turned in a six-hitter for his fifth successive triumph over his Brooklyn "cousins" and. Ad cock banged a home run, his fifth against Dodger pitching this year, to give the right-hander all' the runs he needed for his 10th suc cess against four defeats. Pittsburgh j climbed into fourth place with a sweep of its-double-header from Chicago 2-1 and 5-4 as the St.Louls Cardinals dropped into fifth place by half a game despite their 5-3 victory over the last-place New York Giants. ' Th pace-setting New York Yan kees widened their American League lead over Chicago and Cleveland to 714 games, their big gest bulge of the season, by con quering the Indians 9-5 in connec tion with Boston's victory over the White Sox 3-1. In other American League games, Detroit defeated Washing ton 4-2 and Baltimore blanked Kansas City 4-0 behind the six-hit pitching of Bill Wight. Buhl's brilliant record against Brooklyn is all the more remark able in view of Milwaukee's rec ord of six victories and five de feats against the Dodgers in half a season. The rest of the Braves' pitching staff has turned in only one triumph over the Brooks. 16lh Musial Home Run The Phils scored five runs in the top of the ninth to overcome a 3-2 deficit. Marv Blaylock's bases-loaded double and Elmer Valo's two-run single against re liever Bud Freeman gave Harvey Haddix his seventh victory. Art Fowler lost it. Stan Musial hammered home three runs with his 16th home run and a single to lead the Cards to victory. A pair of ex-Giants Aivin Dark and Don Liddle also contributed to the victory against their former teammates. Dark had a double, single and sacrifice fly. Liddle pitched rimless ball for 3 2-3 innings to receive credit for the win. ( Dale long hit his first home run since June 9 and also added a triple1 to drive In four runs in Pittsburg's second-game victory over Chicago.

STOPS flooding, Stalling, Vapor lotk Atigels Storm Back to First Beavers Blasted For 26 Hits, 19 to 4 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles stormed back atop the Pacific Coast League Thurs day night with a scoring ram page that ruined the debut of new Portland Manager Bill Sweeney. The high-riding Angels Wasted the Beavers for 12 runs in the first inning and coasted to 8 19-4 victory to sweep their four-game series. . Seattle dropped from first place to a full game behind by losing1 to last place Vancouver, 6-2. The Mountics also took the series 2-1. In another series sweep, Holly wood shaded San Diego 5-4, And San Francisco defeated Sacra mento 4-2, winning the series 2-1. 12 Hits In 1st Inning It was a sad first night for Sweeney, whose Beavers were bombarded for 26 hits 12 of them in the first inning. Angel George Freese batted in eight runs three via a homer. He was one of five Angels to tally three hits. Two others, slugger Steve Bilko and pitcher Dick Drott, ' had four each. Sweeney1 joined the Beavers just Thursday, replacing Tommy Holmes, who resigned. At Vancouver, veteran right, hander Bob Hooper took over for the Mounties in the til after Fred Besana loaded the bases and walked in a Seattle run. After quelling the Rainier uprising, he surrendered only one hit the rest of the way a solo homer by Joe Taylor in the eighth. . Vancouver tallied three runs In the fourth off Seattle starter Artie Schallock. Kal Segrist iced the Sox. His two-run homer in the ninth off Jack Harshman was the deciding blow after Boston tied the score 1-1 in its half of, the eighth. Bob Nieman s three-run homer in the first inning was more than enough for southpaw Wight, who fanned five and walked one for his fourth victory and first shut out as Baltimore beat Kansas City Billy Hoeft registered his 11th triumph with a four-hitter for Detroit as Washington lost Its fifth straight.
