Phillips Posts Win For Braves; Spread Closed by Dodgers Bt carl lundquist United Press Sporli Writer Taylor Phillips and Bob Trowbridge, whose names are as strange to the pennant race as if they had just stepped out of a space ship, were keeping the Milwaukee Braves in first place today at a time when their vet eran heroes were faltering. Phillips, a 23-yar-old who shed his GI khaki for a baseball uni form this season, pitched a three hitter in his first major league start Thursday night to beat the St. Lousi Cardinals, 4-1. It was vital that he did because the Cardinals won the second game, 5-1, by belaboring Gene Conley. The previous night it was young Trowbridge who came to the rescue by beating the Cards with a six-hitter after which Lew (Best Bet) Burdette, another trusty veteran, also suffered a defeat. The victory was extra sweet for Phillips because he was a pri vate in the same company where Cardinal pitcher Vinegar Bend Mizell was . his sergeant and "Well, we weren't exactly bud dies." He would have preferred beating Mizell instead of Murry Dickson, but was happy to settle for his performance wherein he struck out six Redbirds. Stan Musial banged home three runs to give Tom Pohol- sky an eight-hit second game triumph. Dodgers Blast Pirates The Dodgers moved within a game and a half of the top by de feating Pittsburgh 7-3 on a 13-hit job in which they also made use of three Pirate errors. Junior Gilliam made four hits, two of them doubles, Carl Erskine failed in quest of his ninth straight triumph but reliever Ed Roebuck gained it instead. Cincinnati chugged to within two games of the top by defeat ing the Cubs, 5-3, in 10 innings on Gus Bell's 22nd homer and his third in four games. Ted Kluszewski tied it up at 3-3 with his 27th homer with a man on in the eighth. Brooks Lawrence won his 16th game in a relief role. The Giants ended the six-game Philadelphia winning streak with a 5-2 victory in which Jackie Brandt propelled two homers. Willie Mays and Bill White also homered for the Giants. Andy Seminick hit a two run homer for the Phils. Mickey Mantle went 14 games ahead of Babe Ruth's home run pace with his 39th homer in a 15 7 Yankee triumph at Washing ton in which Hank Bauer banged four hits and Billy Martin, Bill Skowron and Andy Carey had three each. Botox Now Second The Red Sox took over second place with a 3-1 triumph over the Orioles in which Frank Sul livan pitched a six-hitter and Jimmy Piersall delivered the marginal runs with a two-run single. Ted Williams got two hits and was well behaved all the way. Sherman Lollar again sparked the White Sox by driving in two runs and scoring a pair himself in a 9-2 triumph over Cleveland that dropped the Indians to third place. Kansas City, given a lift on Gus Zernial's three run first in ning homer, went on to defeat Detroit, 5-3 and end a six-game losing streak as Art Ditmar hurled 8 13 scoreless relief in nings for the triumph. Baseball School Contests Held Three boys won baseballs and six gained trophies yesterday in sliding and throwing contests at Medford public school baseball classes. Tim Darland and David West- fall tied for top place in sand' blower sliding and Tim Cox won the throw for accuracy among about 60 nine and 10-year-olds to get baseballs. Bob Quinney was top slider among some ou pee wees ana vck uen Iy won the throw among the 11 12 year-old competitors. Bob Pond took the intermedi ate slide and Mike Parsons the throw in the 13-14 class. In the 15-year-old or cub class George Ice claimed the slide trophy and Otto Wirth the throwing award. There were about 25 intermedi ates and cubs contending. Baseball school ended today after seven weeks of sessions. Registration for the school was 321 boys and attendance has averaged a little over 200 youths per day. Camp White Eyes Upset Camp White's baseball team will be out to upset the dope Sunday in the Rogue Valley league. The Whiters travel to Glendale to meet the loop leaders. They can't knock the Douglas country club out of the leadership but they'll be after a win to keep in the running for post season play offs. One more setback will put the Whiters out of contention. Two other RVL tussles are on the Sunday docket. Cave Junc tion in a trip to Butte Falls will seek to regain its second place tie with Grants Pass. Ashland goes to Eagle Point for the other game. The Cheney Colts and Grants Pass met on Wednesday and will be idle on Sunday. Colts will tangle with the parent club Medford Cheney Studs Tuesday evening at the fairgrounds here. Richardson, Rosewall Foes in Eastern Tennis South Orange, N,J. (U.R) A duel between Ham Richardson and Australia's polished Ken Rosewall highlighted quarter finals play in the Eastern Grass Court championships today where four Americans and four foreigners were fighting it out for the title. The Richardson - Rosewall match was rated strictly a toss up but there was a distinct favorite in each of the other pairings. Veteran Vic Seixas of Phila delphia was rated to win with out pressure from oldster Sid Schwartz of Brooklyn, Neale Fraser of Australia was favored over Paul Remy of France, and Ashley Cooper of Australia drew a solid nod over unseeded Jack Frost of Monterey, Calif., in other round-of-eight matches.

Coach Curly Lam beau of the All-Stars wasn't look ing for an ea.'ry road to triumph tonight.

Lambeau's backs will have plenty of sxed, but not much size. j The Starr), as usual, will have more weight in the line but still will be ou'tweighed by the gi gantic Browns' forwards.
