The nominal ace of the Cin cinnati staff, Nuxhall had not pitched a complete game and had won only one decision since the All-Star game until he came through Tuesday with a five-hitter that gave the Redlegs a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The win enabled the Redlegs to pick up a full game on both the Milwaukee Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers. Of greater importance was the fact that the victory snapped a three-game Cincinnati losing streak and came at a time when the Redleg staff seemed to be buckling under pressure of the tight race. Nuxhall, a 17-game winner last season and a member of this year's All-Star team despite a 6-8 record at the time, tossed his second shutout and struck out four. Wally Post hit his 22nd homer in the fourth inning. Cards Whip Braves The St. Louis Cardinals, bat tling to retain fourth place, beat the Milwaukee Braves, 6-2, for their seventh win in 13 meetings with the league leaders. Murry Dickson went the distance for his ninth victory. The Braves, however, retain ed their two-game lead when the last-place New York Giants whipped the Dodgers, 3-1, on Willie Mays' two-run eighth in ning homer off Clem Labine. Jim Hearn fired a seven-hitter for his fifth win after matching shut out pitching with Sal Maglie for six innings. The fast-moving Philadelphia Phillies trounced the Pittsburgh Pirates, ' 3-0 and 11-2, to cele brate Richie Ashburn night. Har vey Haddix and Curt Simmons each pitched a six-hitter to win his seventh straight victory. Ash burn delivered two hits in each game. Mantle Slams 42nd Mickey Mantle slammed his 42nd homer to remain 13 games ahead of Babe Ruth's record 1927 pace and spark the New York Yankees to a 12-2 drubbing of the Boston Red Sox. Billy Martin drove in four runs in a 15-hit attack. Wayne Belardi and Ray Boone homered in the 15th in ning to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 verdict over the Cleveland Indians after Cleveland pitchers Early Wynn and Don Mossi re tired 28 batters in succession. The Indians got 14 hits and nine walks but left 20 runners strand ed. Jack Harshman pitched a four hitter and homered and Larry Doby also homered as the Chi cago White Sox crushed the Kan sas City Athletics, 12-1. . Jim Rivera and Harshman each col lected three hits to lead the White Sox' 16-blow assault on three Kansas City pitchers. Connie Johnson struck out 11 batters and pitched a six-hitter to give the Baltimore Orioles a 3-0 win over the Washington Senators. Chuck Stobbs yielded only one earned run but suffered his 10th lossj West Linn Nine Ousts The Dalles Portland OI.R) West Linn knocked The Dalles out of the state ABC baseball tournament last night with a 6-5 win.

General Manager Dewey Sori ano announced the firing, say ing "the team just wasn't win ning. We felt a change in lead ership was necessary." Soriano said Coach Bill Bren ner would run the club the rest of the season. Sewell became the third man ager in the PCL to get the axe in mid-season this year. His club had got off to a good start, tak ing over first place and holding it early in the campaign. The Rainiers lost the top spot to the Los Angeles Angels July 11. But with what was generally regarded as the slickest pitching in the loop, the club held on and was still within striking dis tance of the Angels until recent Synchronized Swim Team Slates Tour San Francisco (U.R) Right in the middle of worldwide tension over the Suez canal, Mrs. Norma J.

Twice in Soup Previously, Tommy Holmes and Eddie Joost got the sack Holmes from Portland, despite the Beavers' most improved at tendance figures in the loop, and Joost from the San Francisco Seals in their maiden season un der Boston Red Sox ownership. Twice earlier this year Sewell had been in the soup with the Rainiers. Some of the players complained he didn't "inspire" them. Others questioned his strategy on the field and there were whispers of player rebel lions. But Soriano and the, Rai nier management stuck by. the 55-year-old pilot until now. Sewell blamed a rash of in juries to key players for the Suds' sudden nosedive. That and the fact that his pitching staff was weakened by the departure of pitcher Larry Jansen, one of the bellwethers of a great mound staff. Jansen was sold to the Cincinnati Redlegs last week.

Mantle Seems Certain To Wipe Out Barrier New York (U.R) Mickey Mantle seems certain today to wipe out the greatest barrier in his path toward Babe Ruth's home run record the necessity of matching the Bambino's Sep tember pace. The Yankee slugger remained 13 games' ahead of Ruth's rec ord 1927 pace Tuesday night when he hit his 42nd homer in the team's 112th game. Ruth hit N. 42 in the Yankee's 125th game on Aug. 28, 1927. Ruth' hit 17 homers in September, 1927. August is proving Mantle's second hottest month homer wise. He's hit eight in 12 games already this month more than he hit in any other month except May.

'Colts' Down 'Studs' In Cheney Encounter Manager Harry Tonn's "Colts" jumped on pitcher Jim Kelly for three hits and three runs in the first inning and scored single tal lies in the third and sixth innings at the fairgrounds last night to edge Skipper Jack Cooney's "Studs'" S to 3. It was a practice game and "gap filler" for the two Cheney Lumber company baseball or ganizations with players of the Colts of the Rogue Valley league predominating in the line-ups be cause of absences of players on the roster of the Studs of the Southern Oregon league. Players of the two squads were divided by the two pilots but mostly Colts appeared in the winning combination. Only Der ald Wooton, Twink Pederson and Dick Toney of The Studs ap peared on Tonn's crew and Woo ton during the last three innings was shifted to the third base on the Cooney nine. While the Tonn aggregation was piling up runs enough to win, Wooton flashed the pitching which has made him the South ern Oregon league's No. 1 hurler. Over six innings he scattered three hits, struck out nine bat ters and walked not a one. The one run scored in that time was unearned. Kay Kelley Finishes Kay Kelley finished on the hill for the "Colts" when Wooton was shifted to the opposite team. He yielded two hits, fanned two and walked one and the two runs scored against him also were un earned. Jim Kelly retired "Colt" bat ters in order in the fourth and fifth innings after giving up six hits over the first three games. He whiffed four, gave the same number of bases on balls and was charged with four runs. Terry Maddox, making a rare hill appearance, was tagged for three hits in two innings. But he struck out five and walked no one. The run scored against him was unearned. Bill Martell, Studs regular infielder. threw in the eighth inning with "Colts" going down in order. . Singles by Toney and Duane Sides, a Texas league double by Howard Morris, two bases on balls, a passed ball, a double steal and a fielder's option got the three first inning runs for Kansas City Picks Up Smith From Baltimore Kansas City, Mo.

Portland (U.R) Rival coaches Pete Susick of State and Brad Ecklund of Metro were locked in a guessing game today as they drilled their 24-man squads for the 9th annual Shrin ers' hospital all-star football game in Multnomah Stadium on Saturday night. Ecklund admitted that he faces a problem in setting up a defense against the Staters and that it would ,help if he could guess which way Susick's talented ag gregation will strike, either on the ground or through the air. Susick is noted for his power ful ground attack at Marshfield high but things could be differ ent in this game. Rosewall, Richardson . Head Newport Tennis Newport, R.I. ?U.R) Austra lia's Ken Rosewall and Hamil ton Richardson of Westfield, N.J., led five seeded stars into the fourth round today of the Newport Casino's invitation ten nis tournament.

CARTER Costly Endorsements! Ste?r'i JOHN A. Tonn's line-up. Morris, who bat ted three for four for the eve ning, brought in two runs with his high fly two-bagger. A walk to Ed Reinking, his pilfered base and successive singles by Morris and Larry Big- ham produced a third inning run. In the sixth inning, Morris got his third straight hit and went to third on an error. Donn Johnson singled him home. The "Studs' " sixth-inning run resulted from a walk to Cooney, an error which let him get to third base and Jerry Bettendorf's rap to third base for which Don LaBeau made a leaping try but could only deflect. It was a hit for Bettendorf. For the two ninth inning runs the "Studs" Dut tneethor si by Cooney and Doy Gatlin, a Dase on Daiis and two errors.
