Braves' Haney Wins Seventh; Sox Cut Yank Lead to Four By MILTON HICHMAN United Ptmi Sports Writer Fred Haney, still undefeated s manager of Milwaukee, is fitting on top of both the world and the National League but he climbed down long enough to proclaim he is "no miracle man." "I'd like to say I'm a miracle man," said the smiling, jubilant Haney Friday night after the Braves won the seventh straight game under his managership by heating the Giants, 3-1, "But lot's face it, I'm not. "These guys are doing it," he said, gesturing toward his play ers whooping it up in the club house. "They're playing good ball and we're getting good pitching." Haney got a whale of a pitch ing Job out of Ray Crone Fri day night as the 24 -year -old righthander scattered seven hits for his seventh victory. Homers Win Game The Braves gave him all the margin he needed to beat Ruben Gomez when Bill Bruton and Eddie Mathews smashed back-to-back homers in the third in ning. Crone singled home Mil waukee's final run in the fourth. The victory kept the Braves a full game ahead of the Cin cinnati Redlegs. who took over second place with a 6-0 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Unbeaten Brooks Lawrence, the ace of Cincinnati's pitching staff, racked up his ninth straight victory while limiting the Dodgers to two hits. The only hits off Lawrence were Carl Furillo's single in the fifth and Jackie Robinson's double with two out In the ninth. Catch er Ed Bailey drove in three Redleg runs with two homers while rookie Frank Robinson hit his 14th homer off loser Sal Maglie. , Robin Roberts of the Phillies pitched a five-hitter for his seventh victory in defeating the Cardinals, 2-1, with the aid of Del Ennis' 12th homer. Bum, Cards Trade Places The defeat dropped the Cards to fifth place, as power failure caused the game between the Cubs and the Pirates at Pitts burgh to be called in the fourth inning with Chicago leading, 2-0. With the Cubs at bat in the fourth, all 10 light standards went out, leaving the field in total darkness. The game was delayed for an hour and 15 min- j utes before it was officially call ed. None of the records count and the entire game will be replayed at a later date. The White Sox cut the Yan kees' lead in the American League to four games by beat ing the Bronx Bombers, 5-4, on Sammy Esposito's single with the bases full in the 12th inning. Esposito also came through with a pinch double in the 11th to drive In two runs- and tie the score after the Yankees had scored two runs in the top of the frame. Dick Donovan, the White Sox starter, held New York hitless 'for 7Vi innings be fore Billy Martin doubled to drive in the first Yankee run. Sandy Consuegra relieved Dono van In the 12th and gained credit for the victory. Rip Coleman was the loser although the win ning blow came off Tom Mor gan. It was the Yanks first loss in eight games. Garcia Blanks Nats Mike Garcia scored his second straight shutout over Washing ton and pitched Cleveland to its fourth straight victory. 4-0. Garcia gave up only five hits in gaining his fifth triumph. Cleveland scored all its runs in the third inning as an error by third baseman Ed Yost paved the way for three unearned runs. Baltimore reliever George Zuverink thus earned his fourth MedforivTwbhne . victory after coming to Bill Wight's aid in the ninth inning. Two throwing errors by Wayne Belardi and Jack Phillips in the 11th helped set the stage for Walt Masterson's first defeat. Ted Williams hit his first home run of the season in Bos ton's 6-3 victory over Kansas City. Williams homered off loser Art Ditmar with one on in the first inning and Don Buddin also homered for the Red Sox in the ninth. Billy Klaus' seventh inning single drove in what prov ed to be the deciding run. Frank Sullivan registered his seventh victory against three losses. Sox Beat Yanks; Late-Rally Games Rejuggle Pennant Race By United Press Veteran Jim Wilson ef the Chicago White Sox tossed a fancy fourhitter to beat the New York Yankees, 2-0, on Saturday while a trio of late-rally games helped to rejuggle the hot Na tional League pennant race.

Righthander Wilson notched his 10th win of the season, sixth since coming to Chicago in a trade with Baltimore.

Musial Doesn't Mind Taking First Base Vork for Cards Philadelphia (U.R) Stan Mu sial, admired wherever there is baseball and revered in St. Louis left no doubt in anyone's mind today that he is staying in baseball Indefinitely. The Cardinal outfielder - in fielder, who has won everything in baseball but the Hall of Fame and that's merely awaiting the end of his career, said emphati cally that he is not discouraged at St. Louis and has no intention of retiring. Musial put what should be an end to all such guessing when he said: "I'm not discouraged and I'm not quitting.'' He also made it clear that he was just as happy playing first base as in the outfield. "I'll take care of my end of any job they give me in a base ball game," he said. "I've played first base before. I don't mind Manager Freddy Hutchinson and General Manager Frank Lane of the Cardinals backed him up, revealing that Musial was agreeable when the switch to the infield was suggested. T asked him did he want to work out for three or four days at first and his reply was 'What's Patty Berg, Marlene Hagge Lead Ladies PGA Detroit (U.R) .Patty Berg, the red-headed veteran from St. Andrews, 111., fireii four birdies in a six-hole stretch today on her way to a 71 and a tie for the lead at the three-quarter mark in the $75,000 ladies PGA championship.

The contents were in tact including $7 in cash. the difference? I played there before and I'm ready again.' So I put him right in," Hutchinson said. Lane also shrugged off talk that Musial was worrying be fore the June 15 ' trading dead line that he might be shifted from the club with which he broke into baseball in his teens and therefore felt insecure. "I wish I was as insecure," Lane grinned.
