TWZLVZMEDFORD (OFEGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. June . 1356 Redlegs Take Over 1st Place in NL: Buhl Throws 4-Hitter As Braves Bump Dodgers 4-1 Br FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Bob Buhl's ability tar beat the Brooklyn Dodgers stamped him today as the ace of the Milwau kee pitching staff and the fellow who is keeping the Braves in the tightly-bunched National League race. The 27-year-old right hander has been rated behind veteran stars Lew Burdette. Warren Spahn and Cene Conley in the Milwaukee mound setup but his 4 1 decision over the Dodgers Thursday added to his distinc tion of being the only Brave pitcher to beat the world cham pions this year. Buhl yielded only four hits and four walks Thursday as the Braves halted the Dodgers' four game winning streak and re tained possession of fourth place only two games behind the first-place Cincinnati Redlegs. He helped win his own game with a two-run double that capped a three-run rally. Carl Erskine suffered his fourth straight loss since he pitched the second no-hittcr of his career on May 12. I Redlegs Take First "The hard-hitting Redlegs. who haven't won a pennant since 1940, took over first place when they came from behind twice to down the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-5. It was the fourth straight triumph and ninth in 12 games for Cincinnati. Catcher Smoky Burgess snap ped a 5-5 tie with a homer to open the eighth inning and the Redlegs sewed up the decision when Roy McMillan's single. Johnny Temple's triple and Frank Robinson's sacrifice fly added two tallies. The Chicago Cubs vacated the cellar when Bob Rush spun a six-hitter to beat the Pirates, 5-2, and drop the losers into third place. The idle St. Louis Cardi nals are in second. Eddie Miksis walloped a homer, triple and two singles to lead the Cubs' 11-attack which aiso included a homer by Walt Moryn. Yanks Trample As In the American League, the New York Yankees stretched their first-place to 4Vi games vhon they pummelled the Kan sas City Athletics, 9-1. Yogi Ber ra hit his 16th homer of the year and fourth in four games and Hank Bauer also homered for the Yankees. Bob Turley went the route for the first time this year to win his third game. George Zuverinkf making his 23rd relief appearance, pro tected the lead for two innings as the Baltimore Orioles ended a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 decision over the Cleveland Indians. Gus Triandos, Tito Francona and Willie Miranda had two hits each for the Ori oles. Ninth-inning triples by Nellie Fox and Dave Philley plus two sacrifice flies enabled the Chi cago White Sox to beat the Washington Senators, 7-5, and Ted Lepcio singled home the winning run in the 10th inning as the Boston Red Sox downed the Detroit Tigers, 6-5, in other AL games. 1 INESCORKS: American League Cleveland 020 000 000 1 S 2 Baltimore .. 202 000 Olx J 10 1 MeUsh.

Leadfoot Lou Kurz has just announced that his hot Hudson will be on the speedway to pro vide plentv of competition for anyone interested. At the same time, Neil Wooldridge informed the management that he will be chauffeuring a very fast racing car for his first time out this season. - Allen Bausman, K25. from Klamath Falls, proved that his main event win of last Saturday night wasn't just a fluke by do ing the same things on his home track Sunday. This Saturday night he'll be shooting for three in a row. At least two more of the vet eran drivers have signified their intention to return to the fold Saturday Flying Floyd McClana han and Elmer Sizemore, both say they are ready to provide plenty of competition for anyone wearing a crash helmet and driv ing a racing car.
