Newcombe spun a flashy four hitter to lick the league-leading Milwaukee Braves, 3-0, Thurs day for his 16th victory. It was his second straight shutout, his seventh straight triumph and it extended his string of consecu tive scoreless innings to 24. The huge 242-pound right hander now needs only seven more victories to become Brook lyn's biggest winner in a single season since Vance clicked off 28 conquests in 1924. Latest Dodger Advance Newcombe, who pitched the Dodgers to within two games of the league lead Thursday, feels he has a good chance to win at least 23 games this year. Thursday, he struck out 10, walked none and allowed only two base runner? to advance as far as second. Ray Crone matched New combe's shutout pitching until the fourth inning when Carl Furillo smacked his 14th homer. Roy Campanula's two-run hom er in the seventh clinched the game for the Brooks.

He worked two innings and held the Cardinals runless on one hit. One of the Cardinal players later asked Eddie how it felt to have the lowest earned run av erage in the league. "Real great," he replied car rying on the gag. "This pitching deal is a real racket. I'm shootin' for 20 wins." The Dalles, Roseburg Vie The Dalles (U.R) Two famil iar names.
