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.

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.
