Buhl, Thomson Spur Braves' 7-1
Verdict Over Phils; Brooks Lose
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Bob Buhl and Bobby Thorn
ton were key figures In Milwau
kee's big let-down last year but
they're making it all up to the
spurting Braves now with the
type of performance that bode
no good for Brooklyn.
Between them, Buhl and
Thomson helped fashion a 7-1
victory over the Phillies Thurs
day night that marked the
Braves' seventh triumph in the
last eight games and pulled
them within lO'i games of the
pace-setting Dodgers, who lost
to the Cardinals, 6-1, for their
third loss in a row.
Buhl, who won only two
games all last season, registered
his seventh victory in spectacu
lar style against the Phils. The
27-year-old right-hander struck
out 12 batters, more than any
other. Milwaukee pitcher has
fanned this year, and gave up
only five hits, including Andy
Seminick's ninth-inning homer
which robbed him of a shutout.
Thomson Boosts Average
Thomson, who was sidelined
with a broken ankle and hit
only .232 when he did return to
action, put the Braves in front
to stay when he homered over
the left field roof off starter
Herman Wehmeier in the sec
ond inning. Thomson also con
tributed a single in Milwuakee's
three-run fourth and now has
boosted his batting average
from .217 to .277 in the past six
weeks.
Along with Thomson's mark
ed Improvement at the plate and
the recent strong pitching' by
Buhl, the Braves have started to
move back toward the top after
having trailed Brooklyn by 15
games less than a month ago.
Rookie righthander Larry
Jackson of . the Cards stopped
the Dodgers on four hits in hand
ing them their fifth loss in eight
games. Stan Musial, hero of
Tuesday's All-Star game, hit his
20th home run off loser Johnny
Podres in the second inning and
Wally Moon hit his 12th homer
with one on off reliever Jim

tory against no defeats. (

the week end Southern Oregon
League encounters. The left
hander was struck on the wrist
of his pitching arm in the Mc
Cloud hassle last week. It seems
to be okeh but Cooney wants to
make sure.
The skipper reported that he
also may have Jim Kelly on the
hill for some duty. Kelly, an
other portsider, is sporting an
injury to his flinging limb, too.
He reportedly bruised a bone in
his throwing hand.
Dick Wootoa Signed
Signing of Catcher Dick
Wooton to the regular roster of
the Studs was announced today
by Cooney. He may catch to
night. Wooton was on the squad
last season. This year, although
not then on the roster, he caught
during one midweek fray for the
Stude. He joins Howard Morris
and Ron Maurer on the receiving
staff.
Cooney will be at first base
tonight with Ed McCullough the
likely second baseman. Bob Sel
sor is the probable shortstop.
Derald Wooton, pitcher and out
fielder, is expected to be at third
base, where he has seen some
duty. The outfield berths likely
will not be settled until just
about game time.
Medford goes to Roseburg this
Saturday and Sunday for SOL
contests. Cooney indicated that
he will pick his starting pitchers
from among Derald Wooton,
Warren Noyes and Terry Mad
dox, all righthanders with lefties
Scherpf and Kelly held for re

Crescent City tonight is ex
