Adcock Slugs Record
Homer for Milwaukee;
NL Race Tightened
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Putting Joe Adcock back in
the lineup was Charley Grimm's
last idea as manager of the Mil
waukee Braves, and the Sunday
slugfest that resulted was the
first success in the reign of new
skipper Fred Haney.
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-

Two-run homers by Norm Sie

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,

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

eighth broke a tie and carried

back onto the track, struck a

into an embankment.
The Indianapolis champion
was rushed to a hospital, where
he died minutes after arrival.
