Six-foot, 4-inch Adcock pinch hit a homer for the Braves in Grimm's last game as manager on Saturday, and jolly Cholly announced big Joe would be come a starter again. Haney said he thought Cholly's last idea was a . good one, so Adcock slugged two homers in the first game and one in the second as the Braves "came to life" with a 5-4, 3-1 doublehead er sweep over the Brooklyn Dodges. His second homer decided the opening game, breaking a 4-4 tie, and it was a "Mantle-type" record smasher the first homer ever hit over the left field roof at Ebbets field leaving the park at a spot 350 feet from the plate and 83 feet into the strato sphere. The tape measure boys said it carried 500 feet into a parking lot. Snaps Dodgers Streak The Milwaukee strong boy's record blow snapped a six-game Dodger winning streak and his next homer, in the second in ning of the nightcap, started a two-game Dodger losing streak. Bobby Thomson also homered in this game, a blow that proved the margin of victory. Milwaukee's sweep, after los ing 12 of the last 17 games, helped to turn the National league race into a five-team scramble. Now there are only two games separating first-place Pittsburgh and fifth-place Mil waukee. The pace-making Pirates took a double drubbing from St Louis, 3-1 and 8-3. Stan Musial't two-run homer in the first in ning was the first-game differ ence as Tom Poholsky won it with a five-hitter. Three run homers by Bobby De Greco and Fank Sauer enabled Willard Schmidt to win the second, with relief help from Jim Konstanty. The Cincinnati Redlegs took second place from Brooklyn by a half-game by splitting a twin bill with the Giants. Homers by Dusty Rhodes, Daryl Spencer, Willie Mays and BUI White gave the Giants a 7-6 win in the opener, but Joe Nuxhall stopped New York on two hits and fanned eight in the nightcap as Smokey Burgess singled home the only run to win, 1-0. Phils and Cubs Split In another NL doubleheader, Robin Roberts of the Phils beat the Cubs, 7-1, in the opener with help from homers by Willie Jones and Del Ennis, but the Cubs took the second, 7-4? be hind Sam Jones with Eddie Mik sis' two-hun homer the big blow. The New York Yankees ex tended their American league lead by 5Vi games by beating Cleveland for the third straight time, 9-4, in a single game as second-place Chicago split a twin bill with Washington, win- 80 MERCURY DUACTAMO 1 y-J IN ED SULLIVAN'S ' '425,000 MERCURY CONTEST JUNE 11th AUGUST 4th 1st PRIZE: MONTCLAIR PHAETON one each week 2nd- 10th PRIZES: MONTEREY PHAETONS-9 each week PLUS 200 G.E.

Two-run homers by Norm Sie bern and Yogi Berra gave the Yanks four runs in the first in ning and a similar splurge in the seventh included a three-run blast by Hank Bauer. The White Sox bagged 20 hits in their opening game, includ ing Sherm Lollar's homer, and they got 14 more off Chuck Stobbs in the second game but couldn't beat him. It was Stobb's third win over Chicago this year. In other AL single games, Ted Lepcio's three-run homer led the Boston Red Sox in a 19 hit attack to beat the Detroit Tigers, 13-2, behind Frank Sul livan's six-hitter, and Bob Nie man's three-run homer in the eighth broke a tie and carried Baltimore to a 7-2 win over Kansas City. Sweikert Has Last Rites Indianapolis, Ind. (U.R) Fu neral arrangements were being made today for Bob Sweikert, the Ilth winner of the Indian apolis Speedway classic to give his life for the roaring sport he loved. Sweikert, who won. both the Memorial Day race and the na tional driving championship in 1955, was killed Sunday when his car hit a retaining wall in a sprint race in Salem, Ind. His wife was among the 7,000 fans who looked on stunned as Sweikert's car went out of con trol on the fifth lap of a 30-lap feature race on Salem's high banked blacktop speedway. The car crashed into the wall at the first turn. Then it caromed back onto the track, struck a steel guard rail and turned over into an embankment. The Indianapolis champion was rushed to a hospital, where he died minutes after arrival. First federal tax on gasoline was imposed in 1932.
