Spahn Sneaks Milwaukee Into Lead With 5-4 Win Over Redleg 'Cousins' By TIM MORIARTY United Preu Sports Writer Warren Spahn ran into his "cousins" from Cincinnati just In time to pitch the Milwaukee Braves back into first place in the National league pennant scramble. During his 13-year major league career, Spahn always has been a rough hombre for Cincinnati to deal with. So when the Redlegs showed up at Mil waukee's County Stadium Tues day night, Manager Fred Haney just tossed a ball to the Buffalo, N. Y., native and said, "Go get 'em. Warren." Spahn had finished only one of his last seven starts, but the sight of those Redlegs in their sleeveless shirts was all he need ed. Although the veteran south paw allowed nine hits, he hung on gamely to gain his fourth victory of the season over the Redlegs, 5-4, and boost the Braves back into first place, a half game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves scored their de i cisive run in the sixth on a double by rookie outfielder Bob Hazle. Cards Now Second The Chicago Cubs dropped St. Louis into second place by whip ping the Cardinals, 8-2; the Pittsburgh Pirates broke an eight-gSme losing streak at the expense of the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3, and the New York Giants blanked the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-0, in other National league games. The New York Yankees in creased their American league lead to seven games by stopping the Washington Senators, 4-0; the Kansas City Athletics pre sented new Manager Harry Craft with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox; the Cleveland Indians trounced the Detroit Tigers, 5-1, and the Baltimore Orioles edged the Boston Red Sox, 2-1. Bob Rush, the Cubs' hard luck - right-hander, pitched his first complete game of the sea son against the Cardinals, al lowing only six hits. Stan Slu sial hit his 25th home run of the campaign while Bob Speake and Cal Neeman homered for the Cubs, who raked three Car dinal Pitchers for 13 hits. Ronnie Kline allowed only five hits, including a three-run homer by Harry Anderson, as e he outdueled the Phillies' Jack Sanford. It was Kline's first vic tory since June 9 and only his third of the year against 15 losses. Sanford's record now is 14-4. Bobby Thomson drove in three runs with two triples to back up Curt Barclay's five-hit shut out against the Dodgers. Onl Four Hits Bob Turley gave up only four hits two each by Jim Lemon and Art Schult as he stretch ed his string of consecutive scoreless Innings to 22 against the Senators. Home runs by ex-Yankees Woody Held and Billy Martin helped the A's break a seven game losing streak and stamp Craft's managerial debut a suc cess. The Indians collected onjy four hits off Jim Bunnlng in six innings but three of them were homers by Roger Maris, Gene Woodling and -Vic Wertz. Don Mossi, meanwhile, scatter ed eight Detroit hits. It was the Tigers' fourth straight setback and dropped them into sixth place. Willie Miranda drove in both runs and Jim Busby collected three hits as the Orioles took over fifth place by defeating the Red Sox.

In the first flight Carl Schmidt defeated Clayton Lewis on the 21st hole. - In the second flight, Jimmy Yingst defeated Bill Hutchinson In the third flight, Ed Sing master defeated Bill Keenan on the 20th hole. Emeralds Drop Game By UNITED PRESS Eugene dropped four and a half games behind front-running Wenatchee Tuesday as far out of first place in the North west league as the Emeralds have been since second half play began July 2. The Chiefs padded their lead by personally spanking the Em eralds 4-1 in their series open er. Surprising Tri-City balked Salem's hopes of taking over third place, 5-3, while Lewis ton edged Yakima, 7-6. Wenatchee scored all its runs in the third inning. Chico Al varez drove in two markers with a double and scored when Roy Walker slammed a homer. George Huffman's 350-foot home run with two men on board proved the "crooshul" mo ment at Lewiston. It highlight ed a Bronc rally in the bottom of the ninth which narrowly saved the day. And down Tri-City way, it took a similar ninth-inning comeback for the Braves' two run decision. A fielding error, a wild pitch and a walk advanced runners to second and third. Then Tri-City's leading hitter, Joe Porter, clouted a two-run single to center to send home the winning runs. Fleskes Win In Senior Match Portland (If) Oswego's Ted Fleskes, top seeded in class A, nicked Ralph Lomax, Riverside, 2 and. 1, in match play Tuesday in the 23rd Oregon Senior Golf association championships at the Columbia-Edgewater country club here. Defending AA championship Bob Smith, of the Portland Golf club, defeated L. J. Rodel, of The Dalles, 8 and 7. First Win Encourages KC Manager Chicago (IP) Harry Craft took over the Kansas City Ath letics today, encouraged by the club's first win in eight games, and determined to inject more speed into the team. ' Craft's debut as manager, coming less than eight hours after he replaced Lou Boudreau, was a 3-2 suuecess against thd Chicago White Sox. The husky, 42-year-old Craft, a Kansas City coach since 1955 took a dim view of the A's im mediate prospects, but he said he expected to better the club's last place status before the cur tain goes down on the current campaign. And he was chipper about fu ture prospects, "We've got some good young sters coming that we can look at in September," he said re garding the A's outlook. For the present, Craft said he has two remedies in mind. As a "great believer" in the hit-and-run strategy, he plans to emphasize that. Also his immed iate plans call for putting vet eran reliefer Virgil Trucks back into the bullpen. Trucks has been used in a starting role recently but Craft said he believes Trucks is more effective in relief. "We're going to try more hit-and-run moves than we have in the past," he said. "Of course," he added with a smile, "I hope it works out better. Usually we bogged down in that department because of a lack of speed and we would end up trying to catch the other team." Meanwhile, Lou Boudreau, whom Craft replaced as manag er Tuesday, said he was still mulling over an offer to accept a front-office job calling for un specified duties with the Athletics. Basel, Switzerland, though 500 miles from the. sea, handles about four million tons of ship cargo each year at present ship ping rates. STANDINGS By UNITED PRESS NATIONAL LEAGUE Milwaukee St. Louis .
