Brooklyn 9. New York 8
By CARL LUMDQUIST
New York (U.R) In the shat
tered wreckage which once was
a pennant race, lay not only the
hopes and dreams of the Giants
today but the bursted bubble of
the invincibility of their ace re
lief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm.
As the Dodgers moved merci
lessly onward with a 10-inning,
9 to 8 triumph that gave them
six more victories in a row and
three straight over the Giants,
the most significant item was
tHe way they "moidered" Wil
helm. Roy Campanella. Brooklyn's
hottest candidate for most valu
able player honors, hit a three
run homer off the knuckle-ball
specialist in the seventh in the
uphill struggle, then tagged him
for another homer in the ninth.
Unbeatable Yanks
The Yankees stayed seven full
games on top in the American
League race when lefty Ed Lopat
pitched a six-hit 6-1 victory over
the Senators whom' he beat for
the 10th straight time. The White
Sox topped the Indians, 7-3, with
a four-run rally in the 10th in
ning torsive Virgil Trucks his
15th victory. Al Rosen and Larry
Doby hit Cleveland homers,
Doby's coming in the ninth to
tie the score and send the game
Into extra innings.
In other American League
games, the Browns defeated De
troit 1-0, in 11 innings when Vic
Wertx doubled and Vera Ste
phens singled off ex-Brownie
Ned Carver to break up a score
less battle, while the Athletics
topped Boston, 1-0, in a three
hitter by Joe Coleman.
Scoreless Relief
Harlan Stuart gained the vic
tory for St. 'Louis with a score
1.5j relief chore in the 11th after
starter Lou Kretlow went out
for a pinch-hitter.
Cincinnati topped the Cubs 10
2 on a seven-hit pitching job by
lefty Fred Baczewski against his
ex-mates, cashing in on a rally
In the third in which the Ohio-
ans scored five unearned runs on
three Chicago errors.
Pittsburgh edged Philadelphia
4-3 on the margin of a pair of
homers by Frank Thomas and
the seven-hit pitching of Paul La-
Y11 V
Milwaukee and St. Louis had
an open date.

By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco U.R) It took
a Sacramento rookie by the
name of Bud Watkins to stop
Hollywood's dash toward the
coast league pennant today but
a lot of good that did the Seattle
Rainiers, who blew another
chance to narrow the nine-game
gap.
Watkins, who recently came
up to the Solons from their
Stockton farm club in the Cali
fornia league, showed he was
ready last night by handcuffing
the Twinks with a five-hitter,
4-3.
Even with that cheerful score
greeting them on the board at
Wrigley Field, the panicked Rai
niers lost their fifth straight by
bowing to Los Angeles in 10
innings, 9-8.

The Tyees had finished a ser
ies at Yakima and were proceed
ing to Seattle by chartered bus
when rock slides forced the bus
to detour. The team arrived in
Seattle too late to make connec
tions by boat or plane, forcing
postponement of the contest. A
double-header was scheduled for
tonight.
Yakima downed Vancouver
5-2, Spokane took Tri-City 4-1
and Calgary walloped Edmonton

In the meantime, the Sacs

Seattle not only muffed its
fifth straight contest but blew
a 6-2 lead in the process. Five of

Peden drilled a single off Art
