Thij is the closest National
League race of the century and
the Brooklyn Dodgers ought to
feel mighty good about that to
day because they were the pen
nant winners back in 1947 and
1920 whcrf the closest races up
to now were staged
The Dodgers ought to be feel
ing great anyhow, even if they
didn't have precedent on their
side. 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

ran out of 'outs" and

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. A walk
to Sandy Amoros, Junior Gilli
am's single and a game winnine
blow by Don Zimmer broke it
up.

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. Two of Boston's hits were
bunts by Jim Piersall and an
other a wrong field single by
Ted Williams, hitting against a
defensive shift.
