    DODGER'S SPREAD 11y2 GAMES
RIVAL PILOTS FEEL FUTILE
Br MILTON RICHMAK
United Press Sports Writer
A majority of National League
managers already have conceded
the pennant to Brooklyn but the
ones who are being doggone
stubborn about it like Leo Dur
ocher and Charlie Grimm must
b getting that futile feeling to
day in the face of the Dodgers
rapidly swelling IIV2 game lead
Birdie Tebbetts of Cincinnati
is on of the many pilots who
feel the Dodgers will win this
year and he saw nothing to
change his mind Tuesday night
as Brooklyn hammered four of
his hurlers for 14 hits in a 9-0
victory.
Launching their second west
em invasion in fine style, the
rip-roaring Dodgers exploded for
six runs in the second inning
while southpaw Johnny Fodres
handcuffed the Redlegs on seven
hits for his seventh triumph.
Dukt Snider, who insists he'd
rather hit in Crosley field than
Ebbets field, capped the big six
run rally with his 20th home
run that drove in two team-mates
ahead of him.
Dodgers Gain Full Game
The Dodgers gained a full
game on the second-place Cubs
who ran afoul of both Gail Har
ris and Ruben Gomez in a 5-0
setback at the hands of the
Giants. Harris, the rookie first
baseman recently recalled from
Minneapolis of the American
Association, drove in three runs
with his fourth homer in five
games and a sacrifice fly while
Gomez scattered eight hits for
his third victory. '
Milwaukee, still clinging to a
faint hope, like the Giants, licked
Philadelphia, 4-2, but remained
15 games behind the pace-setting
Dodgers.
Eddie Mathews' 14th homer on
the heels of a single by winning
pitcher Lew Burdette proved the
clincher in the eighth inning for

the Braves. Loser Robin Roberts
also was tagged for a two-run
homer by rookie Chuck Tanner
in the fourth while Granny
Hamner homered for Philadel
phia.
The Pirates trampled the
Cardinals, 10-5, despite a pair
of homers by Wally Moon. An
eight-run rally in the fourth in
ning sewed up the game for the
Pirates. Big Dale Long, who hit
his fifth homer in the second in
ning, highlighted the fourth
frame with a double and a single
that accounted for three runs.
Ronnie Kline notched his fourth
victory although he needed Bob
Purkey's help when he loaded
the bases with none out in the
seventh.
The Yankees remained 2V4
games ahead of the American
League field with a 7-6 triumph
over the Tigers in 10 innings.
Mickey Mantle s single with two
out in the 10th scored Joe Col
lins with the winning run but
most of the dramatics were
crammed into the ninth when a
pair of errors helped the Yankees
score three runs to tie the score.
Tigers Blow Lead
Ned Garver had a 6-3 lead go
ing into the ninth and didn't
seem troubled even when Irv
Noren hit his second homer of
the game to cut the margin to 6-4.
First baseman Ferris Fain then
let Mantle's grounder go through
him for a two-base error but Al
Aber, who relieved Garver, re
tired the next two batters and
was only one out away from
victory.
Aber, however, then threw
Andy Carey's little dribbler into
Major Deals
Not Likely
By Deadline
UNITED PRESS
Big league bigwigs sat hope
fully by the telephone today,
but there appeared to be little
chance that any major player
deals would be made before the
trading deadline strikes at mid
night tonight.
The Yankees would like De
troit General Manager Muddy
Ruel to ring that telephone bell
and say "okay" on a deal for
pitcher Ned Garver; the Indians
were hoping the Orioles would
part with Gene Woodling and
Billy Cox; and the Giants still
were looking for a catcher.
But the odds were that none of
these things would come to pass.
The runaway Brooklyn Dodg
ers, who seem to need help less
than anybody, were the only
ones to pick up a new player as
the deadline approached. They
obtained reserve outfielder Bob
Borkowski from Cincinnati, but
that was merely the completion
of last week's deal that sent
pitcher Joe Black to the Redlegs.
Giants Want Burgess
The Giants still may have a
chance to land catcher Smokey
Burgess from Cincinnati, for the
Redlegs admit they're in a trad
ing mood.
The Giants really are hurting
behind the plate because first
string catcher Wes Westrum
isn't hitting, and second-stringer
Ray Katt isn't fielding or hitting.
If Manager Leo Durocher is des
perate enough, New York may
decide to meet the reportedly
stiff price Cincinnati is asking
for Burgess. ,
But otherwise, things looked
quiet on the baseball market as
the clock hands moved toward
midnight. From here in, they'll
have to go with what they have,
plus any help they can find on
the farms.
right field, Mantle scoring from
third and Carey completing the
circuit on the four-base error.
George Zuverink came on in the
10th and was the loser while
Tom Morgan gained credit for
the victory.
Saul Rogovin walked Sherm
Lollar with the bases full to
force in the only run of the game
in the eighth inning and give
the White Sox a 1-0 decision over
the Orioles. Screwballer Jack
Harshman gained the victory al
though Sandy Consuegra came
to his rescue in the ninth. The
victory kept the White Sox a
half-game ahead of the third
place Indians, who swept a twi
night twin-bill from the Sena
tors. Dale Mitchell's pinch single in
the 11th inning gave the Tribe a
6-4 victory in the opener after
Ralph Kiner's ninth inning pinch
homer tied the score at 4-all.
Rookie Herb Score pitched a two
hitter in the nightcap and was re
warded with a 3-1 victory, his
seventh, although he gave up 11
walks. The Indians snapped a 1
all tie in the fourth inning of the
nightcap, going ahead for good
on Vic Wertz' double and George
Strickland's single. Mickey Mc
Dermott was the loser.
The Red Sox poured across
eight runs in the third inning to
rout the Athletics, 12-4, with
Norm Zauchin, Jim Piersall and
Ted Williams each homering for
Boston. Frank Sullivan was the
winner.
