BROOKLYN LOSES
DISORDERLY GAME
TO BOSTON. 2-1
r
Boston, Aug 8 (IP) In a dis
orderly game in which Pitchers
Manny Salvo and Whit Wyatt
threw what looked suspiciously
like old fashioned "bean balls"
time after time, the Braves
nipped the Dodgers 2 to 0 today
to chalk up their second win In a
row over the league leaders.
All hands, including the 5.484
customers, felt they were sitting
on a powder keg most of the aft
ernoon and on several occa
sions the fuse was all lit and
ready to go. As matter of fact,
the umpires twice had to break
up promising free-for-alls be
tween the two clubs. Just as
players were charging at each
other with what could hardly
be construed as friendly Inten
tions for a get-together.
Only two batsmen were hit
but there were any number of
"near misses." Wyatt brushed
Salvo's uniform with one of his
slants In the seventh Inning. In
the eighth there was no doubt
when one of Salvo's shoots
plunked against Wyatt. The
Dodger elbower was so peeved
about 'Jt. he hurled his bat out
toward the mound, but his aim
wasn't as good as it usually Is,
and the stick slid right out to
shortstop. ,
As Wyatt walked to first. Sal
vo strolled over to the first-base
line. Manny's teammates, Slbby
Sistl and Max West rushed over
to Intercept him. The entire
squads of both clubs poured out
and milled around the infield
until Umpires Lee Ballanfant,
Al Barlick and Babe Plnelll re
stored order.
Slstl scored both the Braves'
runs.

weakness.
