Memories Yankees Br MILTON HICHMAW United Presi Sporli Writer . Murry Dickson helped pitch the St. Louis Cardinals to their last National League pennant 10 years ago and today, at 40, he wouldn't mind history repeating itself at all. Back in 1948, Dickson used his fast ball to win; last night he re lied mainly on his knuckler to post a three-hit 8-0 victory over the Dodgers and boost tne Cards to within a mere three percentage points of the Na tional League lead. Dickson's shutout was the first against Brooklyn this sea son and it was also the first against the Dodgers at Ebbets Field since he, himself, blank ed them as a member of the Phillies on Aug. 22, 19S4. Stan Musial and Bobby Mor gan each clipped Sandy Koufax for two-run homers in the first inning and Dickson had clear sailing from then on as he faced only 32 batters and did not permit a base runner to reach second until two were out in the ninth. Fans Serer Dodgers Dickson struck out seven and walked only three. The only Dodger batter who gave him any trouble was Pee Wee Reese, collector of all three Brooklyn hits. The Braves won their fourth game in a row under new Man ager Fred Haney and climbed to within a half-game of first place with a 5-3 triumph over the. Pirates, who dropped to fourth place. Lefty Lou Sleater, summoned to Lew Burdette's relief with two out and runners on second and third in the ninth, struck out Bill Virdon to save Bur dette's sixth victory. Hank Aaron and Bill Bruton each drove in two runs as Bob Friend absorbed his fourth defeat against 11 victories. Del Ennis' 11th homer with one on highlighted a four-run rally in the eighth inning that gave the Phillies a 4-2 decision over league-leading Cincinnati. Johnny Klippstein had a three hit shutout until the eighth when a walk, a single by Marv Blaylock and Stan Lopata 's triple tied the score. Ennis then followed with his homer, which was the 244th of his career with the Phillies and broke the pre vious club record of 243 held by Chuck Klein. Jack Meyer pitched the last two innings, struck: out four batters and was rewarded with his fourth vic tory. Shutout For Antonalli Southpaw Johnny Antonelli of the Giants shut out the Cubs, 2-0, on five hits while striking out seven batters and walking none. The Giants got to Bob Rush for a run in the second inning on Willie Mays' triple and Bill Sarni's sacrifice fly, then added another run in the seventh on a walk, a sacrifice and a single by Daryl Spencer. In the American League, the pace-setting Yankees reeled off their sixth straight victory when they beat their No. 1 ne mesis, Frank Lary of the Tigers, 5-3. Lary, a three-time winner over the Yanks this season, had a 3-0 lead going when New York tied the score on. Yogi Berra's double, singles by Irv Noren and pinch hitter Elston Howard, a walk, an error and an infield out. Another double by Berra, plus a walk and two singles added 'a Yankee run in the eighth and winning pitcher Tommy Byrne homered in the ninth. Pierce Gets No. 10 Left-hander Billy Pierce of the White Sox became the first American League pitcher to win 10 games when he defeated the Orioles, 5-1, with the aid of homers by Minnie Minoso and Lary Doby. Pierce scattered eigfit hits and struck out eight as he kept the second-place White Sox within 5i games of the Yankees. Home runs by Vic Wertz and Al Smith helped the Indians snap a six-game losing streak with a 9-7 triumph over the Red Introducing .. .

Wertz" 18th homer with two on climaxed a six-run up rising in the second inning but it was Smith's two-run homer in the fourth that turned out to be the decisive blow.
