ers Inaugurated Casey Stengel'a man
agerial reign by beating the Boston
Braves, 8 to 7, in an exciting slug

mostly to be a view of Lonnle War
neke, Chicago's stellar right hinder.

Pitching In mid-season form, War. i
neke missed a no-hlt, no-run game
by one throw aa he blanked the Red

after one waa out In the nlntti when
Adam Comorosky conneoted for a
single. Chuck Klein, Imported from
Philadelphia to aid the Cubs' slug
ging, celebrated hta debut with . a
home run.
Hubbell also hurled a masterful
game for the Giants, who showed
they were the same team of oppor
tunlate that won the world cham
pionship last year. They atarted out
by scoring a run without a hit, then
followed up with some timely 'bat
ting In which Blondy Rryan stood out,
Jimmy Wilson, Phils' manager, took
Hubbell' ahtitout away with a homer
In the seventh,
Washington's triumph came on an
eleven-Inning run off Henry John

a five-run deficit to tie the score In
the eighth, Manager Joe Cronln
atarted the rally with a double that
upset Johnson so ha hit one batsman
and walked another. Then Pinch

to defeat the highly touted Yankees,
6-S. In a mixed up gam that saw 18
passes given out. A run behind in

The St. Loula Cardinals, with Dlazy
Dean holding forth on the mound,
pounded out the day'a high total of
13 .hits and trimmed the Plttaburgh
