th "magic numbtr" has

If the Yankees win 16 of
their remaining 19 games,
they will clinch the American
league pennant even if the

And the Braves can clinch
the National league flag by
winning 15 of their remaining
21 garnet even if the Cardi
nals win all the rest of their

Mag lie Has
Starter Call
New York IP) A 40-year-old
"rookie" named Sal RIaglie gets
the call tonight to give the New
York Yankees' hard-pressed
pitching staff a rest that Mana
ger Casey Stengel says is "bad
ly needed."
"I don't know yet how much
help Sal can give us," said Sten
gel after announced that Maghe,
purchased last Sunday from the
Brooklyn Dodgers for $30,000
and two minor-league players,
will be given his first chance
as a Yankee starting pitcher to
night against the Senators in
Washington.
"But I do know this this fel
low knows how to pitch," Sten
gel pointed out. "And my staff
needs a little rest. Bob Turley
has been pitchin' the best for
me lately, and my relief man,
Bob Grim, is great when he has
a little rest once in a while. But
even Grim needs some rest
now."

climbed within 6li games of
Milwaukee today but the Braves
seemed perfectly content to let
them have their day in the sun
now that Joe Adcock and John
ny Logan are back in action
again, apparently ready for the
final pennant drive.
Brushing off Thursday night's
10-1 defeat at the hands of the
still-hopeful Cardinals, the Bra
ves preferred to dwell instead
on the fact that Adcock and
Logan will be available for duty
during a comforting 12-game
home stand which begins against
the last place Cubs tonight.
Adcock, the big first baseman
who suffered a broken ankle on
June 23, made his first appear
ance for the Braves since then
Thursday night as a pinch hitter
and although he grounded out,
he indicated to manager Fred
Haney he is ready to play.
Logan Plays Short
Logan sidelined since Aug.
16th with a leg injury, filled in
at shortstop in the late innings
and also signified be can take
his usual place in the regular
lineup.
Those two encouraging signs
took a lot of the sting out of the
four-hitter Sam (Toot hpick)
Jones threw at the Braves Thurs
day night. Hobie Landrith and
Alvin Dark each drove in three
runs for the Cards while Del
Ennis clouted his 19th homer
with one on. Lew Burdetts was
the loser.
Brooklyn defeated the Phil
lies, 3-1, the. Pirates licked the
Giants, 4-2, and Cincinnati beat
the Cubs, 4-1.
The Yankees increased their
American League lead to 5V
games with a 5-2 victory over
the Red Sqx while the Senators
shut out the Orioles, 3-0, in the
only other game scheduled.
Roberts Drops 19th .
Rube Walker put the Dodgers
ahead to stay with a two-run
double in the second inning off
Robin Roberts, who dropped his
19th game. Carl Erskin, the win
ner, limited the Phils to one hit
until the eighth when he tired
and gave way to Ed Roebuck,
who nailed down the victory.
Rookie Whammy Douglas of
the Pirates posted his third vic
tory although Roy Face was
summoned from the bullpen to
register the final out. Al Worth
ington started for the Giants,
yielded Pittsburgh's first two
runs and was charged with the
loss.

Grim Belts Homer
Relief pitcher Bob Grim of
the Yankees won his own game
when he hit a three-run homer
in the ninth inning off Willard
Nixon of the Red Sox. It was the
first hit of the season for Grim
and the second homer of his big
league career.
Jackie Jensen gave Boston a
2-9 lead with a two-run homer
off starter Bob Turley in the
fourth and Nixon held that
margin until the eighth when Gil
McDougald tied the score with
a bases-loaded single. The vic
tory was Grim's 12th of the
year.
Southpaw Chuch Stobbs held
Baltimore to three .hits and Roy
Sievers blasted his 35th homer
with one to pace Washington to
victory. Sievers' homer put him
one ahead of Mickey Mantle of
the Yankees in that department.

Plea For Relief
Portland (IP) Tommy Moyer,
Portland promotor, told the Port
land Boxing commission Thurs
day night that he lost $8,000
on the recent outdoor fight be
tween Pat McMurtry and Bobo
Olson at Portland Meadows.
But the commission rejected
his request to authorize use of
commission funds to pay referees
and ringside physicians for an
upcoming series of Tuesday night
talent shows."
Lost $12,000
Moyer made the request in
an effort, he said, to get some
financial relief. He told the com
missioners that he had lost some
$12,000 in his boxing promotions
in Portland and added that he
did not expect to make any
money from the Tuesday night
shows. He said he was promoting
the weekly shows as a means of
developing young boxers in the
Portland area.
The commission gave formal
approval "to the weekly talent
shows and also to the Eddie
Machen-Eduardo Romero heavy
weight fight slated for the Port
land Civic Auditorium Sept. 18,
under Moyer's promotion.
SLIDING ACROSS THE PLATE to score, Philadelphia's
Ashburn helped the Phillies rout the Dodgers, 10-4. Brook
lyn's catcher, Roseboro, was a fraction of a second late
in putting hia tag on the runner. (International SoundphoU)

Pennsylvania congressman's line

Rep. James G. Fulton asked
Fresident Eisenhower Wednes

racial segregation laws.
The Army announced Tuesday
that the West Point band and

the academy team would at
