raves Loose, Cards Win To Close Lead to 4 Games; ox Move to 5 of Yankees Br UNITED PRESS The St. Louis Cardinals, re fusing to concede the National league pennant to Milwaukee, cut the Braves' lead to four games Saturday with a 6-1 vic tory over the New York Giants while Brooklyn trounced the Braves, 7-1. Both teams have 13 games to play. It was the Card's eighth victory In 10 games, the Braves' seventh loss in 10 games. Mil waukee's lead now Is the small est since Aug. 9, when It was 3Vi games. In other National league tilts, Robin Roberts of Philadelphia proved you can't lose them all when he pitched an eight-hit 5-0 victory over Cincinnati, and the Cubs and Pirates split a double- header, 3-1 for Pittsburgh and 7-3 for Chicago. The White Sox, in second place In the American league, also gained on the leaders as they beat the Yankees, 5-2, cut ting the Yank lead to five games with 12 games to go for New York and 14 for Chicago. Wash lngton beat Kansas City, 3-2, on Roy Sievers homer; Boston out slugged Cleveland, 13-10, and Ealtimore and Detroit divided their two games, 3-1 for Balti more and 4-3 for Detroit. Blasingama Hits Don Blasingame drove home three runs with a bunt, homer and single to lead the Cards to victory. Vinegar Bend Mizell held the Giants to six hits in their last game in St. Louis as New Yorkers. Carl Erskine, who hadn't pitched a complete game in al most a year, did it today against Milwaukee with a four-hitter. Brooklyn wrapped it up with a four-run inning in the second, based on three hits, errors by losing pitcher Lew Burdette and Hank Aaron, and a walk. Roberts, already a 20-game loser, was at his old-time form today, and even helped in the attack as his safe bunt filled the bases during a four-run seventh inning. Brooks Lawrence was the loser. Frank Thomas hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give Pittsburgh its victory, but in the second game Ernie Banks of the Cubs socked three home runs his 38th, 39th, and 40th to give his club one victory in the four-game set. Banks now is tied with Aaron for the league lead in homers.

Only 24 hours earlier, O'Mal ley had just ignored Robinson's $7,500,000 offer to purchase the Dodgers with a curt, formal statement that, "Obviously, nothing need be said about this type of publicity," O'Malley compounded the insult by hav ing the statement issued by Ar thur Patterson, a Brooklyn ex ecutive who is not even in the Social Register. Robinson replied Friday night with a , 270-word telegram in which he charged: O'Malley has definitely de cided to move the club to Los Angeles. That he made a written agreement to do so. That O Malley signed an agreement last May with Skia- tron to allow the company to televise Dodger games in Los Angeles. O'Malley, awakened at his Amityville home, said sleepily, I think I'll let Patterson handle the telephone calls on this one." Szuzina Tops Randy Sandy Syracuse, N. Y. HP) Frank Szuzina, a stocky German mid dleweight, said today he hopes to move into the better paying big-time fight circle because of his surprise win Friday night over lanky Randy Sandy. "I've been in the country 16 months and have fought 17 times so it's about time I started pay ing my way," the five-foot-six-inch fighter said following his unanimous win over Sandy in a televised 10-round bout. Referee Joe Palmer scored it 6-3 and one even for the 161 pound Szuzina, Judge Ray Kahl scored it 5-3-2 and Judge Dick Albino had it 5-4-1, the same as the UP card. Sandy, a New Yorker, weighed 155. Oil Company Puts Out Book The Union Oil company has organized a "76 Sports Club" and has plans to distribute mil lions of specially written illus trated booklets on "How To Do It" in more than a score of sports. Each booklet will tell how to play the game and also contains a special section on what to look for as a spectator. The books are written by sports stars and coaches. Bob Richards, former cham pion pole vaulter, will act as the company's sports director. He will appear on a weekly tele vision program to explain the books which are due to be dis tributed in 1958. The District of Columbia has a population of more than 13,000 persons per square mile, com pared to the slightly more than one person per square mile in Nevada. Sox belted the Yanks. Casey pulled pitcher Tom Sturdivant, who had allowed only four hits, for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning. The pinch-hitter, Harry Simpson, fanned out, and Chi cago relief pitcher Bob Grim for the winning runs in the eighth j inning on Minnie Minoso's single and Jim Rivera's homer. Sievers led off the 10th in ning with his 39th homer and his third in two games to give Washington its win over Kansas City. Dick Gernert batted in seven runs as did Vic Wertz of the losing Indians to pace Boston in its victory. Ike Delock allow ed two hits in 4 2-3 innings of relief pitching to stop the Cleve land bats which produced 16 runs Friday night and nine more in the first three innings today. Baltimore's Billy O'Dell fin ally beat Detroit, after three losses to the Tigers, with a six hit game in the opener. Billy Hoeft was the loser. In the sec ond game, Harvey Kuenn's double climaxed a two-run ninth inning rally which won for De troit. . LINESCORES: American Leagu (1st Game) Detroit 1 J Baltimore - 3 7 0 Hoeft. Stump (4.

By SCOTT BAILLIE United Presi Sports Writer San Francisco (IP) Pacific Coast League President Leslie O'Connor, a nan of few words recently as his loop faced ex tinction in the face of a major league invasion, now has plenty to say about the game's meth od of awarding damages and it's all bad. . "The arbitration board as it now is set up for deciding in demnities is a phony," O'Con nor declared Friday "Arbitra tion is supposed to be handled by one man acting as a quasi- udge and not representing any particular group," O'Connor said. No Answer To Letter He also seemed perplexed, rather than bitter, at the fact that National League President Warren Giles "never answered" a letter which. O'Connor sent to the two major loops and Com missioner Ford Frick three months ago asking for help in re-aligning the PCL if the Dodg ers and Giants "take" Los An geles and the San Francisco ter ritory. "I ' never heard from Mr. Giles," O'Connor said. "Mr. Frick told me he could not help because he is a member of the arbitration committee. Mr. Will Harridge said he would take the matter up at the next American League meeting." Baseball law calls for an ar bitration committee to decide how much a league and its clubs should receive in damages if their territory is drafted for major league expansion and oth er negotiations break down. Among those on the complex seven-man board would be Frick, representatives of the league and teams involved, min or league czar George Traut- man and a seventh man to be named by the other six. Only One Arbitrator The only real arbitrator I can see there would be this sev enth man," O'Connor, a lawyer, asserted. He said that the Coast League might refuse to do business with this group and would hold out for another kind of arbitration. O'Connor also warned that his league possibly would sue for damages if it stayed in business despite a Giants-Dodger shift. "If we lost San Francisco and Los Angeles and had to re-align we could be getting lemons for oranges after losing those two cities," he said. He added that league mem bers have been thinking about forming a 12-team loop next year divided into a Northern and Southern Division with the two winners' meeting for the pen nant. At the same time, he also In dicated that the PCL might not be around next year if there were a shift. NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet.
