Del Ennis, on the trading
block only a week ago, is swing
ing in his old rhythmic style
again and he could be the man
to proiiuce a possible pennant
melody for the streaking St.
Louis Cardinals.
The slugsing Ennis paced the
Cards to their eighth straight
victory Wednesday night when
he blasted a three-run homer off
Robin Roberts of the Phillies in
a 40 triumph that moved St.
Louis within one game of the
National league lead.
Thanks, in part, to Ennis' re
cent performances, the first five
N'L clubs are so closely bunched
today that they all could squeeze
through the eve of the same nee
dle. Cincinnati still leads by
half a game over both Brooklyn
and Milwaukee while St. Louis
and Philadelphia are both one
game out.
Musial Sets Record
Larry Jackson of the Card
inals scattered nine hits to regis
ter his eighth victory as Stan
(The Man) Musial set a league
record for consecutive games
played at 823.
Brooklyn drfeated Milwaukee,
11-9. Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati,
4-3, in 10 innings: and the Ciants
edged the Cubs, 4-3 in other NL
games.
The White Sox increased their
American league lead to five
games with a 7-6 victory over
the Yankees; the Indians licked
the Red Sox, 6-1; Detroit beat
Baltimore, 4-2; and Washington
took the nightcap of a twi-night
twin bill, 3-2, after Kansas City
won the opener, 5-3.
Charley Neal drove in four
runs with a triple and a homer
as the Dodgers ended their four
game losing slide at the expense
of the Braves. Real's two-run
triple climaxed a six-run second
inning and his two-run homer
in the fourth proved the margin
of victory. Frank Torre. Ed
Mathews and Hank Aaron hom
ered for the Braves.
Gene Freese singled home Dee
Fondy in the 10th inning with
the run that gave the Pirates
their eight victory in the last 12
games.
Mays"Steals" Show
Willie Mays was the whole
show in the Giants' win over the
Cubs. He slammed his 11th
homer with two on in the sixth
to tie the score, then stole third
base in the ninth and continued
home when Cub catcher Cal Nee
man threw wild into left field.
The White Sox had to call on
relievers Paul LaPalme and
Dixie Howell to check a ninth
inning rally after Mickey Mantle
blasted a two-run homer, his
second of the game and 18th of
the season. Mantle had four hits
in iive trips to boost his batting
average to .378.

nia's Golden Bears wore their
second national collegiate base
ball title today on the strength
of pitcher George Sterling's
fifth inning clout, which scored
the only run in a 1-0 battle with
Penn State.
The final game in the college
world series Wednesday night
was wrapped up by Sterling
with a line drive triple off the
glove of Jim Lockerman to score
Bernie Kelly, who had walked.
Cal Emery, a smooth Penn
State sophomore, limited the
Bears to three hits and was
named the most valuable player
by sportswriters.
The Bears are only the third
team in the 11-year history of
the series to win the title with
no losses in tournament play
Texas came through the 1950
tourney unblemished, and Okla
homa did the same in 1951. The
Bears won previously in 1947.
The five straight wins boosted
Cal's season record to 36-10.
Penn State, unbeaten in 19
regular season games, won three
and lost two in the series.
Sterling limited Penn State
to five hits and was in trouble
in only two innings. The pitch
ing horizon darkened for Sterl
ing in the third, when an error
by teammate Earl Robinson and
two walks loaded the bases. The
threat ended when Penn State
right fielder Jack McMullen
grounded out.
In the ninth, Gary Miller
sliced a single to right field and
Emery walked with none out.
But Sterling struck out Steve,
Baidy and got the next two bat
ters in forceouts at second and
third.
Emery, who lost his first
game in 11 starts, fanned nine

Les O'Connor
Asks Majors
To Aid PCL
San Francisco iW Leslie
O'Connor, president of the Pa
cific Coast league, has released
a letter he wrote to Commis
sioner Ford Frick and the
major league presidents, asking
jthem to help keep the PCL alive
if the Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Giants moved to Cali
fornia. O'Connor's letter to Frick,
Will Harridge, American league
president, and Warren Giles
j National league head, asked the
majors to help the PCL continue
playing Triple-A baseball on a
realigned basis.
"They, the PCL owners, un
animously agreed that every
effort should be made to con
tinue operations, if at all pos
sible, in order to provide pro
Daseball for their communities,"
the letter said. "However, no
club is willing to undertake the
impossible task of substituting
lower-class baseball in competi
tion with major league opera
tion in Los Angeles and San
Francisco and with major league
radio and television within our
territory."
O'Connor's letter said the
PCL believed open or Triple-A
baseball in the area will be pos
sible only if there is a realign
ment with the major leagues co
operating and allocating some
share of radio-TV profits to com
pensate for attendance losses.
The National league recently
gave the Dodgers permission to
switch their franchise to Los
Angeles and the Giants permis
sion to move to San Francisco.
The league sstipulated that they
request the shifts before Oct. 1
and make the move together.

SAN DIEGO PADRES TIP
LA ANGELS TO GET TIE
FOR 1ST DIVISION SPOT
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The San Diego Padres got
their noses above the Pacific
Coast league waterline for the
first time Wednesday night, but
still faced an upstream swim to
get into contention.
The Padres, generally picked
for the pennant, have spent the
season thus far Delow the .500
mark. But Wednesday night the
Pads beat Los Angeles 3-1 and
moved above that mark for the
first time. They also moved into
a tie with the Angels for the
last spot in the PCL first divis
ion. There was no change in the
Vancouver-San Francisco leap
frog for first place as both teams
lost. The Hollywood Stars
dumped Vancouver 5-0 and Sac
ramento beat San Francisco 2-1
on a heads-up play by Harry
Bright.
Seattle got a 2-1 decision over
Portland in the other game.
Grant Fans 13
San Diego won its second
straight from Los Angeles be
hind the four-hit pitching of Jim
Grant who fanned 13 en route
to his third win of the year
Preston Ward's sixth inning
homer, which gave the Pads a
2-0 lead, was the only circuit
clout of the night in the loop.
The loss went to John Jancse.
Bright reached across the
plate while he was being pur
posely walked in the bottom of
the ninth to tap a ball into the
outfield for a clean hit and
drive home Al Heist from third
base with the run that won for
Sacramento.
Tommy Hurd, who took the
loss, and winner Joe Stanka had
staged a hot duel until the ninth
when San Francisco got an Un
earned run and the Solons came
back with two marred tallies.
Hurd gave up five hits and
Stanka seven.
George Witt subdued Vancou
ver for the Stars with a three
hit shutout. His mates scored
two off Charlie Beamon in the
third frame and chased him with
three more in the sixth.
Stars Gain Ground
It was the second straight win
for the Stars over the Mounties
and brought them to within
three games of the top spot.
Duane Pillette starred on the
mound and at the plate for Se
attle. Pillette relieved starter
Russ Meyer when he pulled a
muscle in the third and three
hitted the Beavers the rest of
the way to get the win. In addi
tion he drove in a sixth-inning
run that broke a 1-1 tie with a
single.
Bob Thorpe absorbed the defeat.
