SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAH. TRIBUNE uhl Gives Milwaukee Pitcher Keeps Braves In Lead By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Bob Buhl, who might be pitch ing the Chicago White Sox to ward a pennant except for a lit tle mistake the Sox made, kept the Milwaukee Braves atop the wild National league Eag scramble today and is now their big money pitcher. 0 Beetle- browed Buhl posted victory No. 13 for the Braves Wednesday night. 4-2, pn an eight-hitter over the Pittsburgh Pirates to maintain their half game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the fourth straight win for the hard-throwing right hander and left him second only 10 me mimes JacK sanlord for most victories in the Na tional league. All this is so much applesauce for the White Sox, who first signed him to a minor league contract in 1947. It developed the signing took place before his class graduated from high school, so the baseball commis sion made him a free agent and this time he signed with the Braves. Cards Keep Pace The Braves gave Buhl a 4-0 lead on homers by Red Schoen dienst in the third and Johnny Logan in the fifth, plus two unearned runs in the sixth. He missed his fourth shutout of the year when the Pirates rallied for two runs in the ninth. The Cardinals kept pace with a 5-1 victory over the Giants behind Herm Wehmeier and third-place Brooklyn moved within two games of the top by beating Chicago twice, 3-2 and 2-1. Fifth-place Cincinnati beat fourth-place Philadelphia, 6-5, in an 11-inning nighter. In the AL pennant chase, the New York Yankees increased their league lead to 3V games by beating their Kansas City "cousins" twice, 2-0 and 5-4. Chicago won a single from Washington, 6-5, while Detroit tnurneri Rnctnn f?3 and PI p VP- land blanked ' Baltimore, 4-0. Wehmeier scattered seven hits including Hank Sauer's 14th home run, to beat the Giants as Al Dark led his support with four hits.' It was the Cards' fifth consecutive win. The Dodgers won both their games in the ninth inning. Duke Snider's 25th and 26th homers gave them a 2-2 tie after eight frames of the opener and they won in the ninth with a run on three singles off Bob P.ush. Trailing 1-0, they got two runs in the ninth of the nightcap with the help of Don Elston's wild pickoff attempt. Reliever Ed Roebuck was credited with both wins. Larsen Pitches Two-Hitter The Redlegs, trailing 5-3, scored three in the last of the ninth to tie, two on Ted Klus zewski's pinch homer, and beat the Phils with' an llth-inning run on Gus Bell's double and Joe Nuxhall's pinch single. The Yankees made it 16 out of 17 against the A's as Bob Turley hurled a five-hitter in the opener and Don Larsen, with ninth-inning help, pitch ed a two-hitter in the night cap. Mickey Mantle's 28th hom er featured the first win and Bill Skowron singled home the run that broke a 44 tie in the eighth inning of the second. Larry Doby had four hits for the White Sox and drove in what proved to be the winning run in the ninth inning. Roy Sievers hit his 27th homer in vain for the Senators, who suf fered their fourth straight loss. Ray Narleski, ex-bullpen ace, pitched a four-hitter for Cleve land to notch his third straight complete victory. The Orioles No Deal On Stadium New York W Another hope, perhaps the last, of keep ing the New York Giants here disappeared today with the an nouncement they definitely will not move' into the Yankee Sta dium. Giants owner Horace Stone ham and Yankees owner Dan Topping revealed that they met Tuesday and Wednesday to dis cuss "the possibility of the Gi ants moving into Yankee Sta dium," which had been suggested as an alternative to the Giants leaving town. But the owners agreed that they couldn't live together in "the house that Babe Ruth built." In a joint statement, Stcne ham and Topping said they agreed "there were so many ob stacles in the way of operating two clubs successfully in one park that neither club could con sider such a move." The Giants declined-to com ment on a prediction made Wednesday by Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco that they probably will announce a decision to move to San Fran cisco in about two weeks.
