r
Braves Move Up Into Contention,
Whip SI Cardinals With 13 Hits
Br FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Milwaukee Braves are
ignoring those pseudo - con
tenders cluttering up the first
division because they quietly
moved into a position where
they soon can take command
of the National league race.
The Braves are pretty much
on their 1957 pennant-winning
schedule after wallop
ing the St. Louis Cardinals,
12-8, Tuesday night with a 13
hit assault on seven pitchers.

They're only a half game out
of first place and their 11-7
record compares favorably
with their 13-5 getaway last
season.
But the real key to the
Braves' start is that they are
within easy striking distance
of the lead whereas three of
the other four so-called con
tenders Los Angeles, Phila
delphia and St. Louis are
holding up the rest of the
league in sixth, seventh and
eighth places.

Cubs dealt Cincinnati its sev
enth defeat in 15 games when
Glen Hobbie's four-hitter
throttled the Redlegs, 4-0; the
San Francisco Giants whipped
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-0,
and the Los Angeles Dodgers
edged out the Phillies, 7-6, in
14 innings in the other Na
tional league games. The Bos
ton Red Sox beat the stum
bling Chicago White Sox, 7-5,
in the only American league
game.
Frank Torre and Bob Ha
zle, two of the key fill-ins last
season, drove in three runs
each for the Braves, who
piled up a seven-run lead in
the first two innings and then
clinched the game with a five
run burst in the ninth after
the Cardinals drew to within
one run. Bob Buhl received
credit for his fourth win al
though Don McMahon and
Gene conley nnisnea up.
The loss was the sixth in a
row and 13th in 16 games for
the Cardinals who are now
IVz games off the pace in last
place. Stan Musial stretched
his hitting streak to 16 games
with two hits but even so his
average dropped a point' to
.516.
Hobie, acquired in a much
criticized deal with Milwau
kee for Bob Rush, struck out
seven Redlegs as he won his
second decision for the Cubs.
Bobby Thomson hammered a
three-run first-inning homer
off Joe Nuxhall to provide
the big blow for the Cubs.

Bob Schmidt capped a five
run San Francisco rally in the
first with a bases-filled dou
ble and rookie first baseman
Orlando Cepeda banged out
his eighth homer. McCormick,
only 19, struck out four and
walked one.
Dodgers Last Longer
The Dodgers outlasted the
Phillies in a four hour and six
minute struggle that ended
when Charlie Neal scored on
a long single off the left field
fence, by Carl Furillo. Neal
had walked after receiving a
"life" when catcher Stan Lo
pata dropped his foul pop up
with two out. Don -Drysdale,
who had lost five straight de
cisions, picked up his first
win in relief while Dick Far
rell, ace Philadelphia reliefer,
suffered his first defeat since
last June 5. The Phillies took
the lead with a six-run sixth
inning rally but the Dodgers
tied the score in the ninth
when Duke Snider collected
the third of his four hits.
Dick Gernert and Frank
Malzone hit back to back
homers in the first inning for
the Red Sox, who have won
three straight and six of their
last eight. Billy Pierce, who
won 20 games last season,
was kayoed in the first inning
but Ray Moore was charged
with the defeat. The White
Sox have lost nine of their
last 11 games.

"It's not strictly business,

like to move the club. But
the men in control have no
desire to do so."

his remarks in reply to re
ports that if the Indians', at
tendance declined drastically
