Big Don Newcombe wasn't ex actly sitting on his hands eith er. He allowed only six hits and posted his ninth straight victory to equal his entire 1954 total. The huge Dodger right-hander , had the Cards shut out until Rip Repulski homered in the ninth. The lone consolation for the Cardinals was in stopping the red-hot Snider, who went hit- less in four trips after having been on a 13-hit tear in Brook lyn's last four games. Cubs Win In 12th Stan Hack's second-place Cubs battled back from a five run deficit to defeat the Giants, 9-8, on Ernie Banks' 12th inning single with the bases full. The Giants scored one run in the bot tom of the 12th on Willie Mays' second homer of the game. Dav ey Williams hit a grand-slam homer in the sixth to give New York 7-2 lead but subsequent homers by Rookie Jim King and Eddie Miksis tied the score at 7-all. Rookie Rudy Minarcin of Cin cinnati turned in the best pitch ed game of the day, holding Pittsburgh to one hit a sec ond inning single by Dale Long for a 6-6 decision. Minarcin drove in two of the Redlegs' runs. Johnny Logan and Eddie Mat hews each hit homers off Bob Kuzava and Joe Adcock and Danny O'Connell did likewise against reliever Bob Miller in Milwaukee's 11-3 victory over Philadelphia. Backed by a 12 hit attack, left-hander Warren Spahn survived a three-run up rising in the first inning to reg ister his fourth victory. Yankees Lead By 4 Garnet Scoring their 20th triumph in the last 24 games, the Yankees stretched their American league lead to four games by nipping the White Sox, 4-3, while the Senators were crushing the In dians, 14-5, in Cleveland. Eddie Lopat was the winning pitcher in the Yankee-White Sox contest but he needed help from Tom Morgan in the ninth. The Senators had a field day at the expense of Mike Garcia, Art Houtteman, Bill Wight and Ray Narleski, smashing out 18 : hits. Ernie Oravetz, Jim Busby and Roy Rievers each collected three hits as every player in Washington's lineup hit safely to offset homers by Al Smith, Ralph Kiner and Bob Avila off winner Bob Porterfield. Rookie Frank Lary of Detroit pitched a four-hitter to beat Baltimore 5-2. Red Wilson's two run homer off Harry Byrd high lighted a four-run Tiger rally in the sixth. Sixth inning homers by Ted Williams and Norm Zauchin broke up a scoreless pitching duel and started the Red Sox on their way to a 5-1 triumph over the Athletics. Jim Piersall of Boston homered off relief pitcher Johnny Sain in the ninth. NATIONAL LEAGUE Cincinnati 010 030 200 14 0 Pittsburgh 000 000 000 0 1 1 Minarcin (3-l and Burgess; Kline.
