The Associated Preis
If the Milwaukee Braves should
win the National League pennant,
it will be because of the spectac
ular success enjoyed by pitcher
Bob Buhl and first baseman Joe
Adcock against the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Rarely, If ever, have 'wo players
from one team overpowered a
dub the way Buhl and Adcock
have done against Brooklyn this

season. 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

bagger helped Ronnie Kline chalk

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.
