Newspaper Page TextSTAN J SIAL'S BAT 13 BUT CAMS BOW TO OOPS, BURDETTE Br MILTON BICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Something's screwy in St. Looey. Stan (The Man) Musial is practically in outer space with a still-soaring .529 bat ting average while the Card inals seem to be slipping clear out of sight with an awfully sore 3-14 record. Lew Burdette of the Braves shoved the Cards deeper into the National league cellar on Wednesday night with a five hit, 9-2 victory. Burdette had all of the Redbirds eating out of his hand with one notable exception. Musial, of course. Slugging Stan, off and run ning in quest of his eighth batting title, drove in both St. Louis runs with a pair of doubles and a single. " He now needs only seven hits to ward his goal of 3,000. And just to give you an idea of how Musial is doing in the batting race, he is "only" 150 points ahead of his nearest competitor Cincinnati's Don Hoak. STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

City at Detroit (night) Washington at New York (night) Boston at Baltimore (night) The Braves wasted little time in starting the Cards on their way to their seventh straight loss Wednesday night. Milwaukee clinched the game in the first inning by hammering out Herm Weh meier, in a six-run barrage. Doubles by Hank Aaron and Frank Torre along with Wes Covington's two-run homer accounted for most of the damage. Burdette chipped in with three hits himself in coasting to his third victory. Milwaukee outfielder Bob Hazle was struck on the head by a pitch thrown by reliever Larry Jackson and although he was removed to a hospital his injury was called not ser ious. The Braves' victory kept them a half-game behind the souped-up Chicago Cubs, who held on to first place with a 5-1 victory cVer the Cincin nati Redlegs. Southpaw Taylor Phillips, who came to the Cubs in a much-criticized deal with the Braves last winter, stopped the Redlegs on five hits. The Cubs, meanwhile, pecked away at loser Brooks Law rence and Johnny Klippstein for nine, including three by Dale Long. Homers Fail Pirates The San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-6, despite a barrage of four home runs by the losers. The Pirates tied a major league record in the fifth when Bob Skinner, Ted Klusewski and Frank Thomas slammed con secutive homers. Kluszewski hit his second homer of the game with one on in the sev enth but it wasn't enough to keep Bob Friend from suffer ing his first defeat after four straight victories. Rookie Bob Schmidt's three run homer featured a four run Giant uprising in the fourth that stretched S an Francisco's lead to 6-1. Re liever Ron Blackburn gave up what proved to be the de ciding run in the fifth when he walked Schmidt with the bases full and the Giants add ed another run in the same frame. Red Worthington was the winner. . Southpaw Curt Simmons scored his first victory over the Dodgers in four years by pitching the Phillies to a 9-3 verdict. Granny Hamner and Stan Lopata provided the hard core of Philadelphia's 15-hit attack with three hits apiece. Hamner had a single, double and a triple while Lopata socked a homer and two singles. Carl Furillo drove in all of Los Angeles' runs with a three-run homer in the third. Rookie Knuckleballer Fred Kipp suffered the loss. Tigers.

Reno Bertoia, sought by the Senators all spring, won the opener for Detroit with the first grand-slam homer of his career in a five-run first inning against Camilo Pascual.-Frank Larjr pitched a unique game for the Tigers, giving up 13 hits and strik ing out eight.

Adv. Sloan for Judge Comm.-, 209 Frnklln Idg., Medford, Ore Brown Halts Dupas To Keep Ring Title By CHARLES E. WEBB Houston, Tex. '(IP) Ring wise Old Joe Brown, $32,000 richer for his cunning in scoring an eighth round tech nical knockout over flashy Ralph Dupas in a title fight Wednesday night, made new plans today to decimate the lightweight ranks. Brown said he would -fight Kenny Lane, Muskegon, Mich., next. No date has been set for the bout but Brown has posted a $5,000 bond that he would meet Lane. The champion successfully defended his title for the fourth time by calmly waiting for his opening and then turn ing into a furious fighting ma chine that sent Dupas to the canvas three times before the fight was stopped at 2:21 of the eighth. "I knew I had him when I saw I could maneuver him in the corners pretty much as I wanted to," Brown said in his dressing room after the bout. Brown, 31, said it was a good left to the body that set up the 22-year-old Dupas for the kill. Then a hard right cross sent Dupas to the" can vas for the first in a series of three knockdowns.. For Dupas it was only the second time- that he had been stopped in a career that began when he "just added a few years" and started fighting at 14. He said he didn't know what punch it was that caught him. -, Slightly more than 11,000 persons, near capacity in the Sam Houston Coliseum, turned out for the fight and paid $68,740, radio and tele vision added approximately $30,000 to the gate to make it. the richest fight ever staged in Texas. . Brown's cut of the approxi mate $80,000 net was 40 per cent; Dupas got 20 per cent. Both are from New Orleans, Brown stalked his man, plodding after his fleet op ponent. Dupas saw an early lead start slipping in the fifth when Brown's body punches slowed the contest from a fast opening. The champion took over in .the sixth and in the seventh took complete com mand. At. the opening of the eighth, Brown 'drove Dupas to a corner and opened up with a furious onslaught that sent the challenger to the canvas. Dupas was up at a count of nine, but another barrage sent him down twice more for eignt counts. Referee Jimmy Webb step ped in to stop the punishment just as Brown scored once more with a terrific left hook. sr Attention Business Firms! Public Relations Course SCHEDULED HEI&I . Enroll new! S.
