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.

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. Nals Split
Over in the American
league, Detroit and Washing
ton split a twi-night twin bill,
the Tigers taking the opener,
5-1, and the Senators the
nightcap, 11-4.
The split kept the Senators
in second place, a game be
hind the league-leading Yan
kees. 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. He had a shut
out until the ninth when Ed-

runs count as the Eugene Em

league can tell you.
The Emeralds got only five
hits Wednesday night but par
layed two unearned runs into
a 2-i victory over Tri-City.
Eugene scored one in the third
on a walk, a fielder's choice,
a bunt single and a wild
throw.
The Emeralds won it in the
sixth as Bob Turk doubled off
the left field wall and scored
when the Brave catcher tried
to nail him at third on a bunt
play. -

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.
