Warren Hacker, one -time
"hard luck pitcher" of the Na

today as the surprising Chicago

Braves, 2-1, for their ninth win
in 10 games.
Hacker, who earned his nick
name in 1953 when he lost 19
fames, had a no-hitter for 8 1-3
innings before pinchhitter
George Crowe broke it up with
a home run.
In other National league

made it four straight victories
with a 3-2 decision over the
Pittsburgh Pirates, the Brook
lyn Dodgers made the most of
four hits to beat the Philadelph

sas City Athletics, 7-4, in the
other American league day

Sal Maglie of the Giants re
ceived credit for his fourth win
although he needed help in the
ninth inning from Hoyt Wilhelm
and Marv Grissom.
Ten walks and homers by Koy
, Campanella and Sandy Amoros
helped Brooklyn's Don New
combe win his sixth straight de
cision and hand the Phillies their
16th defeat in 18 games.
Third-string first-baseman Ed
Robinson knocked in four runs
with two homers to lead the
Yankees to their fifth straight
triumph. Rookie Johnny Kucks

ond decision. Yogi Berra homer

times making it 13 consecu
tive times he's done so.
Maas Out-Pitchas Garcia

to out-pitch Mike Garcia and
give the Tigers their second
straight win over the Indians.
The Tigers went ahead in the
fourth and Maas protected the
ne-run lead the remainder of
tha way.
Virgil Trucks struck out Vic

Americans Retain Walker
Cup; Yost and Cudd Win
St. Andrews, Scotland (U.R)
America's rain-soaked amateur
golfers retained tha Walker Cup
today by winning six of eight
singles matches to complete a
10-2 triumph that was ona of
Britain's worst beatings la tha
19-tournament series.
The ease with which the
United States won tha trophy in
a two-day downpour was a sur
prise, in view of tha fact that
this year's British team was rated
ona of its best while the Ameri
can contingent was one of the
youngest and least experienced
ever sent across the ocean.
