Braves Subdue Brooklyn 7-3 As Aaron Gets Four Wallops Br FRED DOWN ' United Pren Sporti Writer Hank Aaron's on a .600-batting tear today that's proving the Milwaukee Brave outfielder is every bit as good as his word. Aaron predicted when his av erage was a sickly .211 only a week ago that he'd "get in the groove once we start playing regularly" and since then he has collected 12 hits in 20 trips to lift his mark to .312. Aaron esti mates he can hit .340 this year and win his first National League batting title. The 24-year-old Negro's spec tacular batting surge reached a peak Tuesday night when he collected four hits, including his fourth homer of the season, in leading the Braves to a 7-3 vic tory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was the Braves' second win in as many meetings with the world champions. Erskine Routed Again Aaron homered in the second inning to give the Braves a lead they never lost and added a double and two singles in a 13 hit attack that also included homers by Johnny Logan and Ed Mathews. The assault routed Carl Er skine for the second straight time since he pitched the second no hitter of his career on May 12. Bob Buhl stuck it out for 7 13 innings to gain his third win and second over the Dodgers with relief aid from Dave Jolly. The victory enabled the Braves to hold a 23-point first-place lead over the St. Louis Cardinals, who downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3. The Cincinnati Redlegs beat the New York Giants, 6-3, in the other NL game. Bobby Del Greco scored one run and drove in another against his former teammates as the Cardinals snapped the Pirates' three-game winning streak be fore 19,316 largest night crowd at Forbes Field in four years. Herman Wehmeier increased his lifetime record against Pitts burgh to 24-8 although Jackie Collum hurled the last 2 13 frames. Roy McMillan and rookie Frank Robinson homered as the Redlegs staged a four-run seventh-inning rally to beat the Giants. Joe Nuxhall turned in a four-hitter to score his first tri umph of the year and give the Redlegs their fifth victory in six games. Bosox Move Up In the American League, the Boston Red Sox moved to within a half game of second-place Cleveland when they defeated the Indians, 5-3. Tom .Brewer notched his fifth win with Dave Sisler coming on in the ninth to wrap up. Billy Goodman's two-run homer in the seventh 'Mf straight jj lomionat pi a just right ifj price!

Red Wilson cracked a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory that 'snapped the New York Yankee's six - game winning streak as well as Whitey Ford's personal six-game skein. Frank Lary, whose only other win this season was over the Yankees, hung horse-collar on Mickey Mantle and limited the New Yorkers to seven hits. Rookie Troy Herriage pitched a three-hitter for his first tri umph as the Kansas City Ath letics downed the Washington Senators, 6-1, in the other AL game. The Athletics scored five runs in the second inning on two doubles and four walks to hand the Senators their 11th loss in 14 games.

Bears Nick Eugene To Close Gap By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer V Berlyn Hodges, Eugene lefty, made one slight mistake last night and as a result the North west league pennant race is tighter than a new pair of shoes. Hodges walked Pete Mikacich of Yakima in the eighth inning and Mikacich later crossed on a single for the only run of the ball game as Yakima topped Eugene 1-0. It was Hodges' only free pass of the game. Dick Young of Yakima was no slouch either. He spaced five Eugene hits, fanned six and also walked but one hitter to take his fourth victory of the season. The victory slashed Eugene's league lead over Yakima to a half game. Tri-City is but one game off the pace and Lewiston within two games of the top. Gene Klinger moved Lewiston a notch closer with a bases-loaded homer in the fourth to spark a 16-5 victory over Salem. Lew iston .chalked up 14 hits. Bod Wadsworth pitched two hit ball for seven innings before stumbling somewhat allowing Salem five runs in the last two frames. Bill Bottler proved the Spo kane Indians can win with good pitching. He fanned 13 hitters and held Wenatchee to four hits in turning in a 2-0 victory over the Chiefs. Bottler's control also was sharp as he walked but two to pick up his third victory of the season. Spokane tallied two in the eighth to pick up the marbles. STANDINGS (Br United Press) PACIFIC COAST LEAGUK W. L. Pet.

RIVERSIDE Medforiv&Tribune Homers Not Enough For LA; Padres Win; Stars Clip Portland By DON THACKERY United Press Sports. Writer The Los Angeles Angels found out last night that ball games are not won by home runs alone as they relinquished their Pa cific Coast League lead to Se attle. The Angels cracked four of the gopher balls good for seven runs but wound up by taking an 11-7 beating at the hands of San Di ego. Seattle meanwhile also had homers, all with bases empty, but copped from Vancouver 8-1 as Elmer Singleton spun a five hitter. .. This turn of events gave Seat tle a one-game bulge in the flag chase. Hollywood used a three-run homer by Joe Duhem with two out in the ninth to sink Portland 4-1 while San Francisco pasted Sacramento 8-3. Floyd Robinson had a homer for the Padres and it, combined with 5 other Pad hits, more than made up for the homers hit by Bob Speake, Ed. Haas, Steve Bil ko and Piper Davis. Scored Fast San Diego got nine runs in the first three innings and then held on to pull the Angels back into second place and keep the Padres in fourth. Seattle got two homers from the venerable bat of Vern Steph ens and one each from Joe Tay lor and Ray Orteig. But it was Singleton's pitching that made the victory easy. Singleton gave up only one run and that on a homer by Jim Pisoni. Charlie Beamon took the loss. Duhem's blow at Portland broke up a pitching duel be tween Fred Green of the Stars and Royce Lint of Portland and gave Star Manager Clay Hopper, who was at the Portland helm last year, a fine return to the Rose City. Green pitched a four-hitter and the only run he gave up was when Lint hit a bases-empty home run in the sixth to tie the game. The Stars got a lone run in the fifth when Duhem ground ed into a double play. Don Lenhardt got a homer, double and a single to help Jerry Casale to his fifth victory. The Seal outfielder hit a solo round tripper in the fourth and then doubled and singled during later San Francisco rallies. Casale pitched a six-hitter and gave up three runs in a bunch in the fourth to fall behind, but the Seals got three in the sev enth and then added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth. In all 13 home runs were hit in the loop and nine of them came with nobody aboard. IB LIVESCORF.S: San Dieeo ....414 000 200 11 Lo Angeles . 023 000 002 7 9 3 Carmichael.
