For they won what was by all odds their most important game of the season Thursday night when they poured over four runs in the ninth to subdue the cocky Cardinals, 9-8, as Roy Campanella blasted his second three-run homer of the game. The victory put Brooklyn within half a game of the first place Milwaukee Braves. Mil waukee topped Pittsburgh 7-2 to continue a six-game victory binge that began when Fred Hancy replaced Charley Grimm as manager. But what made the crowd roar in Brooklyn was an old time demonstration of power by old-timer Roy Campanella, who had been demoted to eighth spot in the batting order. 'Maybe we can make him mad" and he'll get hot like he did last year," said Manager Walter AU ston. Campy ad no direct an swer for that except to say that "When you've been batting as lousy as I have been, you're lucky if they keep you lineup I guess I just ran out of 'outs" and couple." Before Pny jrfrnnd homer in the finally hit a things looked bad for Brooklyn. There were two out and Stan Musial had put St. Louis' in front, 8-5, with his second ho mer, also a three-run job. Campy teed off on right hander Murry Dickson, who had come in expressly to pitch to him and that tied the count at 8-8.

OECS; RAVES ser on June 21. On the two occa sions that had been closest pre viously, the Dodgers rated sec ond, a game behind the first place Boston Braves on June 22, in 1947. The Giants were third IV? games out of the lead and the Cubs fourth, two games off. In 1920 Cincinnati led on June 22 and Brooklyn was second by Hi. The Cubs and Cardinals were tied for third, two games back. Today, Milwaukee leads by a half game, Brooklyn is second just a half game in front of Cin cinnati and St. Louis is fourth VA games off the pace. Pitts burgh is two games off in fifth. The Braves, definitely to be reckoned with, won for the fourth time in a row at Pitts burgh as Danny O'Connell drove in four runs with a double and two singles and Del Rice con tributed two doubles. Bill Bru ton hit a homer. Bob Buhl's eight-hit victory was his seventh. In the American League, lefty Jack Harshman was the shining star with a one-hit 1-0 victory for the White Sox over the Orioles in which loser Connie Johnson also gave up only one hit. Earlier this year, Harshman pitched a two-hit shutout in which loser Herb Score of Cleve land also turned in a two-hitter. Chicago got the winning run and ended the suspense of a possible double no-hitter in the first in ning when Jim Rivera walked and Nellie Fox doubled him home. Harshman pitched hitless ball until Gus Triandos led off with a seventh inning double. The Athletics drubbed the Senators,' 15-6, in a bat battle at Kansas City in which Vic Power made three hits and Gus Zernial and Joe DeMaestri hit homers for the winners. Harmon Killebrew hit a grand slam ho mer for Washington. Cleveland topped Boston 5-0 on Early Wynn's four-hitter and it marked the first time in more than a year the Indians were able to beat Tom Brewer who had subdued them seven times in a row.
