Braves' Buhl Chalks Up Seventh
Verdict Over Brooklyn Dodgers
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sporti Writer
Bob Buhl ranks alongside Sal
Maglie, Bucky Walters and Ed
Reulbach as- a "Brooklyn Dodg
er killer" today with a 7-0 sea
son slate that explains the Mil
waukee Braves' three-game Na
tional league lead.
The 28-year-old righthander
scored the most important of
those seven wins Sunday when
he beat the Dodgers, 6-2, in the
opener of a key two-game series
In his seven victories over the
Dodgers, Buhl has pitched 59
innings, yielding 48 hits and 15
runs for a glittering 2.28 earned
run average.
Buhl's performance against
the Dodgers this year tops any
single season mark compiled by
Maglie when he was public ene
my No. 1 in Brooklyn. He is the
first pitcher to beat the Dodgers
seven times in a campaign since
Bucky Walters did it for the Cin
cinnati Redlegs in 1939.
It s ironic that Buhl comes
from Saginaw, Mich., only 85
miles from the birthplace of the
original "Dodger killer" Reul
bach. Back in 1908, Detroit-
born Reulbach whipped the
Dodgers nine times.
Buhl will get one more crack
at the Dodgers next month.
Bob, who is 16-5 against the
league, pitched a seven - hitter
Sunday and had a shutout until
the ninth when Sandy Amoros
hit a two-run homer. The Braves
backed him with a 10-hit attack
that included home runs by
Hank Aaron and Johnny Logan
to hand Roger Craig his ninth
loss. It was Milwaukee's 11th
win in 19 meetings with the de
fending world champions.
The Redlegs fell 4Vi games
behind the Braves when they
split a doubleheader with the
Philadelphia Phillies. The Red
legs pounded out 15 hits, in
cluding Ted Kluszewski's 33rd
homer to win the opener, 10-5,
but the Phillies came back with
a 16-hit assault behind Harvey
Haddix to take the nightcap,
11-4.
Bob Friend won his 15th game
and Ronnie Kline his 11th as the
Pittsburgh Pirates scored 2-0
and 2-1 victories over the Chi
cago Cubs. Friend fired a four
hitter in the first game and then
pitched 1 13 innings of hitless
relief to preserve Kline's tri
umph in the nightcap.
The St. Louis Cardinals and
New York Giants split a doube
header by identical 4-3 scores,

game and Johnny Antonelli

cue in the last two innings of

triumph after Tom Sturdivant's
six-hitter gave the American
league-leading New York Yan
kees a 7-0 decision.
Rocky Colavito hit a two-run

Forty Niners
Win by 20 0
Over 'Skins
By UNITED PRESS
Based on their early pre-season
form, the San Francisco Forty-
Niners, Green Bay Packers and
Chicago Bears will be stepping
on a lot of toes in the National
Football league this year.
The Forty-Niners, who knock
ed off the defending champion
Cleveland Browns last week,
looked just as strong Sunday in
blanking the Washington Red
skins, 20-0, at San Francisco
Green Bay also posted its sec
ond straight victory by downing
the New York Giants, 17-13, Sat
urday night at Green Bay, while
the Bears turned back the Phila
delphia Eagles, 28-21, at Phila
delphia.
In other week end games, the
Baltimore Colts whipped the
Pittsburgh Steelers, 37-16, at
Cincinnati; the Chicago Cardi
nals edged the Detroit Lions,
20-17, at Mobile, Ala., and the
Los Angeles Rams whipped
Cleveland, 17-6, at Los Angeles.
Thus, after only 13 exhibition
games, the Forty-Niners, the
Packers and the Bears remain
as the only unbeaten teams.
