Cincinnati Takes Over
In National; McDaniel Victor
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Prass Sporti Writer
Rookie Van McDaniel, a S50,
BQO investment by the St. Louis
Cardinals, already has paid off
with a more spectacular big
league beginning than even Bob
Feller.
When Feller broke in as an
awkward 17-year-old with Cleve
land back in 1936. he had a 5-3
record in his first season and a
8.34 earned run average.
The 18-year-old McDaniel,
paid a $50,000 bonus upon his
high school graduation five
weeks ago, already has .a 4 0
record with the Cards and a
1.50 earned run average that is
helping them horn in on the
National league lead again.
McDaniel retired the first 18
Milwaukee batters in a row on
Tuesday night in posting a 4-2
victory that moved St. Louis
within a game of first place.
Accustomed to pitching only
seven innings in high school
the Cardinal rookie yieldedfour
hits and two runs in the seventh
and was replaced by veteran
Hoyt Wilhelm in the eighth
when he gave up another hit.
Hedlagi Tak NL Lead
Cincinnati took over first
place from the Braves by de
feating the Cubs 8-6, in 10 in
nings, and the Dodgers blanked
the Giants. 6-0. Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia were not sched
uled. The Yankees maintained their
two-game lead in the American
league race with an 11-inning
6-4 victory over thee Orioles;
the White Sox beat the Tigers,
4-2, and Boston moved into third
place with a 2-1 decision over
Washington. Cleveland and Kan
sas City were idle.
Doubles by George Crowe and
Don Hoak coupled with three
walks gave the Redlegs their
two runs in the 10th that beat
Chicago. Cincinnati hopped on
starter Don Kaiser for five runs
In the second inning with the
help of a grandslam homer by
Wally Post but homers by Lee
Walls and Ernie Banks enabled
Chicago to tie the score. Raul
Sanchez was the winner.
Forty-year-old Sal Maglie
pitching his first complete game
since the season opener, limit
ed the Giants to four hits as the
Dodgers put together three-run
rallies in the third and sixth
Innings. Errors by shortstop An
dre Rogers and catcher Wes Wes
slrum set up Brooklyn's first
rally while Elmer Valo's triple
nd Carl Furillo's double fea
tured the sixth inning assault.
McDougald Paces Yanks
Gil McDougald's two-run
double off George Zuverink with
two out in the 11th enabled
southpaw Whitey Ford to post
his second victory in relief for
the Yankees in as many days.
The victory was the Yanks' sixth
in a row and it came after they
had trailed 3-0 until the sev
enth. Frank Lary of Detroit led 2 1
until the eighth inning when
Larry Doby clouted a three-run
homer into the left field stands
to give the White Sox their vic
tory. Southpaw Billy Pierce
pitched a five-hitter for his 11th
triumph but fell behind when
Frank Boiling homered in the
seventh.
Catcher Sammy White droe
In both Boston runs as the Red
Sox subdued the Senators even
though being held to three hits
by Camilo Pascual and Russ
Kemmerer. White's fifth Inning
single tied thee scoree at 1-all
and his sacrifice fly brought tn
Jackie Jensen with the winnin :
run in the seventh. Big Frank
Sullivan gave up six hits and
struck out seven to register his
seventh victory.

Stay Given
In IBC Case
New York (IP) Boxing
men were genuinely surprised
today at Jim Norris' uncertainty
about appealing Federal Judge
Sylvester J. Ryan's final mono
poly judgment to the U.S. Su
preme Court.
Both Norris and his chief de
fense attorney, Kenneth C. Roy-
all, stressed the possiility of no
appeal luesday night, after
Judge Ryan had filed the judg
ment, designed to break up the
international Boxing club s title
fight monopoly.
Previously Norris had stated
he "certainly" would apeal to
the U.S. Supreme Court in case
of an adverse verdict.
Automatic
Anyway, Judge Ryan granted
their request for a stay of en
forcement of his judgment until
Nov. 1, in case of an appeal.
Should the Supreme Court grant
a review of the case, the stay of
enforcement would automa
tically be extended until a de
cision was reached.
Ordering Norris and partner
Arthur Wirtz divorced complete
ly from Madison Square Gar
den, Judge Ryan apointed two
trustees to hold all stock in the
Garden Corp. owned or control
led by Norris and Wirtz, while
it was being sold over a period
that could stretch to seven years
if necessary.
The IBC's of New York and
Illinois were ordered to dissolve
immediately after the judgment
becomes effective.

Jack Littrell
Has Trouble
With Hitting
Br ED SAINSBURY
United Press Sporti Writer
Chicago HP) Jack Littrell
does everything in major league
fashion, except hit.
That's why the new Chicago
Cubs shortstop tries something
new every time he steps to the
plate with a bat, and why he
works overtime in the practice
cage.
'I hit real well the last half
of the season with Portland last
year," he said. "Must have hit
about .350 with about 18 home
runs. But I don't have movies of
what I did then, and I've tried to
hit the same way here that
did there, and it doesn't feel
natural."
littrell, 28, said he used a
closed stance when he had his
hitting splurge with Portland to
finish the season with a .307 bat
ting average, the only time he's
been over .300 in nine years of
professional baseball.
"I don't know why it hasn't
worked here," he said. "I've tried
to open my stance for a few
games and then go back to the
closed stance, but it hasn't
worked yet. If I ever get to feel
ing natural, I'm sure I'll hit."
Top Grade
Cubs Manager Bob Scheffing
rates Littrell as top grade in all
phases except with the bat. "He's
got a good arm and can make a
good throw. He's fast, and he
makes all the plays at shortstop.
And he's thinking too. He won't
hurt you in the field. But I wish
he'd hit better."
Scheffing has been working
with Littrell on his batting
whenever he gets a chance. But
that's rare.
"He can hit a long ball when
he's right," said Scheffing, who
managed in the Pacific Coast
league himself last year and saw
Littrell when he was hot. Lit
trell last week got his first ma
jor league home run against
Pittsburgh, but his average with
the Cubs has hovered around
.200.
Despite his failure with the
bat, Littrell hasn't pulled down
the wrath of either the Cub fans
or the baseball writers. They
respect him for his fielding and
he gets cheers frequently for
his play in the field.
But when he comes to bat in
late innings with men on base
and the Cubs behind, Scheffing
usually puts in a pinch hitter,
and nobody questions his judgment.

Beavers Obtain
Wise From Cubs
Portland im The Portland
Beavers have received infielder
Casey Wise on option from the
Chicago Cubs on a 24-hour recall
basis.
Wise played with the pennant
- inning Los Angeles team last
season and has been a utility
fielder for the Cubs this year.
He was a second baseman prior
to last season.
Portland officials said Wise
was driving west ana was ex
pected to arrive in Portland next
Tuesday.
TOO LATE Senator shortstop Milt Boiling (right) slides
into third on one knee, but is too late as Chicago White
Sox third baseman Bubba Phillips makes the out in fifth
inning of the first game of a doubleheader in Washington.
The Sox took the first game 7-6, but lost the second 11-9. t
Alston Picks Five Braves
For National Loop Squad
Cincinnati (IP) Walt Alston

first baseman Gil Hodges and
outfielder Gino Cimoli.
Alston rounded out his pitch
ing staff with lefthanders Curt

"CONCRETE is our Business -SERVICE
is our Pleasure"!!
With five Cincinnati players
in the starting lineup already
on the strength of votes they
polled from the fans, Alston
named one more member of the
Redlegs to his team, outfielder
Gus Bell.
Bell was one of the Cincinnati
players "dropped" from the NL
team last week by Commissioner
Ford Frick because he felt a
last-minute avalanche of Cin
cinnati votes that produced
seven Redleg starters was not a
"typical" All-Star team.
Musial at First
The five Cincy starters will
be second baseman Johnny Tem
ple, third baseman Don Hoak,
shortstop Roy McMillan, out
fielder Frank Robinson and
catcher Ed Bailey.
The remainder of the starting
team will have Stan Musial of
the Cardinals playing first base
in his 14th All-Star game; Willie
Mays of the Giants in center
field, and Aaron in right field.
To help Bailey with the catch
ing chores, Alston chose Hal
Smith of the Cardinals and
Hank Foiles of the Pirates.
Alston also selected infielder
Ernie Banks of the Cubs and
outfielder Wally Moon of the
Cardinals.
NORTHERN ALL-STARS
WIN IN PCL ATTRACTION
Los Angeles (If) Northern

eight hits while the North clout
ed six. However, the South left
six men stranded on the bags
while the North had only two
left on the bases.
The tight-scoring game wit
nessed by 6,417 fans was high
lighted by two home runs. Port

no one on in the fifth, while Earl
